On an exceptionally sunny day in May, a man took his faithful dog for a walk in the countryside. Unlike other days, the dog was pulling his owner towards the nearby forest, which they had never visited before. 
After entering the woods, the man got overwhelmed by the serene and peaceful atmosphere. It even felt otherworldly. As they ventured deeper and deeper into the woods, they came across a bunch of animals which you would normally never see together : deer, foxes, rabbits, badgers... 
Strangely, all these animals were flocking together without the slightest sign of animosity and they all slowly walked into the same direction. The atmosphere was so peaceful that it even felt like a procession. 
Without hesitation the man and the dog joined the procession. The deeper they stepped into the forest, the more animals joined the procession and the more serene the atmosphere became.
Then the procession suddenly ground to a halt, on a little mound near the edge of a clearing. The man saw a pond in the glade, surrounded by wild spring flowers. This place felt like heaven on earth. 
Then something unusual happened. Two young women in long white dresses slowly strolled through the flower field. They stopped at the edge of the pond. One women was around 20 years of age and had long brown hair, while the other one was a 10-year old girl with shining blond hair.
The man got a bit ashamed and looked away. He is absolutely not a voyeur. Then an owl flew to a branch next to the man, and spoke with a soft voice : ‘it’s okay to look at this spectacle. They are two witches, Hekske and her apprentice Falke. They are going to perform a spring ceremony’.
Then a third woman entered the glad. She looked really old and had long grey hair and walked with a limp. The owl whispered ‘This is Quintine, she is 439 years old and she recently woke up from a 414 year long hibernation to escape from the persecutions of the 17th century.’  Meanwhile 2 other girls welcomed Quintine with a long hug.
A little later, the youngest witch lit up a fire with a floating spark which she launched with a gentle hand movement. They put a small cauldron on the fire and prepared some kind of brew, which – after cooling down – they all shared. This all happened in such an unhurried way that it made the man lose his sense of time.
After finishing their drink, the 3 witches went to the edge of the pool, where they shucked off their long white dresses. The man quickly looked away, but the owl reassured him and told him to keep on watching, as a very important part of the ceremony was about to happen.
The 2 young witches helped the elderly witch while they slowly waded deeper into the water. When the women were deep enough, they started to swim. Or rather : float on the water. This made some ripples on the mirror-like water surface. These ripples had a soothing and hypnotic effect on the man, his dog and all the animals around them. Even the birds had stopped singing, and the forest became completely quiet. There was even no wind. It was as if the earth had stopped turning.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the witches decided to get out of the water. With slow movements, they waded out of the pond. The animals who were watching from the mound got very excited at that moment. At first it wasn’t clear why, but after a while it dawned to the man that the elderly witch was able to walk independently. Even more astonishing, her grey hair had turned red. She barely looked 25 now. All the animals first looked in awe, until they all erupted in cheers : the badgers growled, the foxes screamed, the owls hooted and all the birds sang their most beautiful song. Also the dog barked from pure joy.
And this was only the start of a long celebration which would last until deep in the night.

 "Bauchkribbeln begleitet von übermäßig vielen Wetter-App Checks zwei Wochen vor dem ECHO. Alles war ungewiss bis am Dienstagabend (4 Tage vor dem Event) die Wetterprognose dann grünes Licht aufzeigte. Einziger Gedanke: ...bitte behält die Prognose dieses Mal Recht 😅. 
Samstagmittag um kurz nach 12 Uhr - also fast pünktlich - löste sich der Nebel im Tennengebirge auf. Woohoo...alles bangen um mieses Wetter war spätestens jetzt verpufft. Time to let the music do its magic!
Zu unserer Überraschung trudelten viele Herzensmenschen - viel früher als erwartet - auf der Söldenhütte ein und das Opening entwickelte sich zu einer kunterbunten Reise auf 1.500 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Das Gaspedal wurde behutsam, energetisch und stetig von 100 auf 109.9 BPM hochgefahren. Das war wirklich eine Riesen-Freude mit euch allen 🙏🌞⛰️❤️!"

Vielen lieben Dank an Slow Punchhh für die Möglichkeit diese Live-Aufnahme in eurer In The Mix Serie zu verankern. <3 
(ja, es hat jetzt tatsächlich funktioniert. Ein fast 3 Stundenset ist bis zum Ende auf'm Gerät mitgelaufen :D) 
Ganz viele Bussis vom Berg <3

Hello, Moin und Ahoi Daunelovers!

Obwohl die Flügel heut ganzschön steif waren, die Federn besonders zerzaust waren und der schöne Parkettboden mehr vom ersten Kaffee hatte als wir, ist das Gemüt heut softer als 'n Babypopo. 
Warum fragt ihr? 
Na weil uns die Berliner Dauntempo-Chefköchin Katschinka (@katschikatinka) heut n Frühstücksschmankerl gezaubert hat, das seinesgleichen sucht. Da wird jede noch so geschmacksbefreite Gans zur Connaisseur*in. 
Also: Raus aus den Federn, Kaffee ran und Boxen aufdrehen!
Bon Appétit!


1.  Wie sieht deine Morgenroutine aus, falls du eine hast?
Ich wecke meinen Hund mit einer Kuschel-Attacke und verschwinde dann für eine Stunde im Park.

2.  Hast du ein musikalisches guilty-pleasure?
Man könnte es durchaus erwähnen, dass ich 15 Jahre lang Polka-, Marsch-, und Filmmusik in einem Orchester gespielt habe. Man betone das Wort „habe“!

3.  In welchem Genre warst du als Teenie zuhause?
Indie, Rock und Sunshine Live 🙃

Slomosensual 88 by BenYamin

On a windy day in June, a lone wizard got lost in a big forest. He sensed immediately that this was not an ordinary forest. The most beautiful flowers were blooming everywhere and the birds were not shy at all. Some birds even landed on his hand when he stretched it out. This is not unusual for wizards as they have a strong bond with nature, but when he looked carefully at these two owls sitting on his hand, he realized they belong to an endangered species which were believed to have gone extinct in this part of Europe. Now the wizard was absolutely convinced that this must be one of these forests which was being protected by a witch. He had already heard stories from other wizards that witches were making a comeback in recent years, yet he had never seen one of these elusive creatures with his own eyes. And – looking at the pristine state of this forest – this must surely be a very powerful and experienced witch, and probably pretty old. The wizard didn’t have high hopes of spotting the witch, as they are known to have excellent hiding skills. So he simply savoured the sheer beauty of this garden of Eden…
As the wizard strolled through the pristine forest, he saw something unusual from the corner of his eye. When he realized what he was looking at, his heart skipped a beat. Standing in a small glade was a young woman with long brown hair and immaculately white clothes. She was so absorbed in her work - picking mushrooms with graceful moves - that she didn’t notice the wizard. Actually, witches can move around freely in their forests without being circumspect, as they can count on an extensive network of spotter owls to raise the alarm whenever a human enters the woods. In most cases, the intruder doesn’t get deeper than 300 feet into the forest before being intercepted and chased out. Yet on that day, not a single bird had raised the alarm. Even her faithful Belgian shepherd dog, although he had immediately spotted the wizard, decided wisely to stay calm and moved to the other side of the witch, distracting her a little bit. As the wizard slowly came closer, he heard the witch sing softly with a sweet voice. Yet he couldn’t see her face yet. But it was clear she was very young, maybe even still a teenager (although it’s being told that It’s impossible to estimate the age of a witch).
Then things happened in quick succession… a twig snapped under the wizard’s foot. The witch immediately looked up. It was a sight the wizard would never forget. For an instant they looked into each other’s eyes. The bright green eyes of the witch were even beyond mesmerizing. During a split second, the wizard got a glimpse of the universe behind these eyes. He was speechless after seeing all this beauty, while the witch was so stunned and overwhelmed by contrasting emotions that she couldn’t utter a single word. Then she glanced briefly at her dog with a really angry face (to which the animal immediately responded by lying low with flat ears while showing his most innocent face). And finally, she collected her thoughts and ran away. Within seconds, she had disappeared into the thickets with an astonishing nimbleness…

where have you gone [baby j version]

Here's a nice lil aciiiid noodly track for your well accustomed eardrums.... there's an element of laid back funkiness ala dare i say... simple Drexciya, or just chunky funky kinda stumpy vibes... :P

Flash Driver

born in the fabulous year of 1972 in south west of france.
Passionated by all sounds since child (always berlin in first ! kraftwerk , nitzer ebb...& also london or paris or US house & rap) 
I became a vinyles dj in 1992 in nature , forests, private parties. Educated by Dj Nerate (UK) from famous Spiral Tribe team, i'm  proud to have been a part of these first influences @ early times of techno movement in france with very small audience (but high quality^^^ones  at the beginning , playing house, hardhouse, techno, hard techno, trance , psytrance... sharing the sound in thailand koh phan gan (92 to 95) & goa beaches (92 to 97) , jungle or breakbeat, during 10 years
After a break of 20 years..I came back on the desks , that time on digital materials from summer 2022 & at 50 years old..(!!) 
I like to improvise with all the avalanche of new stuff that i hunt & receive  each day from some precious friends.
Downtempo or midtempo (even high tempo), house, slowhouse, deephouse, hip house, electronic , deep beats,psytrance or chillhouse & even sometimes with melodic or else .
My singularity is to play without headphones most of time (it guaranty for me the essence of the energy of improvisation..)
My eclectic knowledge & my singular way to mix make my personnality , groovy & Deep most of time.
Resident of @planetibiza , I'm always opened & enjoying to make podcasts for some  labels like @octorecords @vodoom @templeofthedown @slomosensual @hekske&magicwishtapes @downtempobaby @artydal @秋分🌾 Autumn Equinox or friends' pages ..

stay tuned !
