What an absolute blast was Splore 2023!
Such an incredible mix of talent, beautifully curated stages and an eeeepic team behind the scenes. Was defo one of my favourite editions.

Had the pleasure to join the Fairy Squad and build a fairy Grotto for some secret boogies and naughty business during the festival. I really enjoyed bringing my Sunshine Fairy out!
Feel so grateful to be able to host the After Dark sessions at Wendy's Wellness once again and to meet and collaborate with wonderful people. 
That Friday night was an intense experience for us all with the storm.... actually I loved it haha nothing like some grounding and grinding in the mud.

Here is my set closing the After Dark on the Friday

Enjoy xxx

Cookie @ Splore 2023 - Wendy's Wellness/After Dark

Music and rhythm can be life-changing for children and young adults who have experienced trauma and are struggling with anxiety. 

Music for Generations (Nesiller için Müzik) is a compilation album series focusing on bringing hope, healing, and resilience to children and young adults who have been impacted by the recent earthquakes of February 2023. 

As Kanto Records, we have partnered with two NGOs — Maya Foundation and Tüvana Education Foundation for Children (TOÇEV) — to make a meaningful impact on those affected by the earthquakes. 

Proceeds from the album sales on Bushido will be donated to support ongoing art and music therapy efforts in the earthquake-affected area. Proceeds from the album's Bandcamp and Spotify sales will be donated to establish permanent music libraries delivering art and music therapy workshops.

We are honored to feature incredible artists worldwide who generously donated their songs' publication rights to support this cause. We welcome all volunteers to support our mission. 

Every penny of your donation will directly support our project. We will be transparent in our actions and inform you of all developments through our website and social media channels.

We are ready to do our best to help heal the wounds of this devastating disaster, the effects of which will perhaps last for decades, and to help build the future with hope while sharing the healing power of our profession, which is our life motivation and passion.

Vincent Gericke - In A Different World (Gun!lla Remix)

Happily we share with you Vincent Gericke’s new EP. It's an invitation to daydream of a different world while the summer's last sun rays are warming our skin and souls. Vincent Gericke offers soothing, slow and full baselines mixed with enchanting melodies to bring you to a space beyond thought and worries. Let yourself fall into these tracks full of beautiful storylines about darkness and light that can give you an idea of a more harmonious world. Remixes by ele, aal & dalie, thea & schtu, Gun!!la, Deisen and Landhouse & Sima weave a magic tapestry of sounds springing from coming out of the very same two tracks - which even melt into each other, creating a sense of infinity as music multiplies itself again and again, always in change while always staying the same from beat to beat.

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

She stood by the window as the stars began to poke holes in the deep blue velvet sky. The days without him had passed slowly, and the evenings even slower. She wondered how the silver goldfish could remain calm in the bowl, while she himself felt she could barely breathe. As the night air touched her face, she thought of him, bit her lip, and sighed. Her eyes closed as she willed her tears to stop forming. When she opened her eyes, he was standing next to her. 
“I know,” he said to her, and he placed his hand over hers. “It is hard to wait,” she said. “Yes,” he said, “we are like the dragon waiting for a sign of his pearl.” “The dragon waiting?” she asked. “Oh, nothing,” he said. “It’s just a story.” The wind blew gently, like the calming touch of a healer. Tolga Maktay is the rising sun after the dark end of a sleepless night. This is his first offering for Shango Records. These two tracks can give you light and good feelings. Abacilar, Kumara (PA) and Cedro tell you stories about isolation and morning calmness.

Tolga Maktay - Halvet (Abacilar Remix)

Новый подкаст Bee's knees это отборная селекция актуальной музыки с аунтентичной андеграундной атмосферой, чёткий и глубокий техно грув с лёгкими этническими перкуссиями дополненный урбанистичным acid звучанием синтезаторных партий все это отражение музыки резонирующей с моей душой и сердцем❤️‍🔥

Этот выпуск впитал в себя эмоции и настроение из моего детства, он был записан в канун рождественских и новогодних праздников, поэтому несёт в себе самые тёплые ассоциации и энергетику которыми я хочу поделиться с вами😌

Peace, love & dance 🫠

The new Bee's knees podcast is a selective selection of current music with an authentic underground atmosphere, a clear and deep techno groove with light ethnic percussion complemented by urban acid sound of synthesizer parts, all this is a reflection of music resonating with my soul and heart.

This issue has absorbed the emotions and mood from my childhood, it was recorded on the eve of Christmas and New Year holidays, so it carries the warmest associations and energy that I want to share with you😌

Peace, love & dance 🫠

Bee's Knees #002

PBP Records present their third single this time by Mexican talent Javali bringing his dark and organic vibe to us.

The track title translates to “Darkness was never so Bright” which invites us to see inside us and recognize the darkness that exists within us. That is the first step to finding your light. You must use that light to glimpse what is within the dark, as a guide, as a teacher, where everything becomes apparent and clear. That’s where you realize the Darkness has never been so bright.

This single is accompanied by two incredible remixes by PBP Records member Alef Nun (Mexico City) and also one from Dereva (Hamburg) each one made with their own point of view and creation.

Thanks to these great artists for creating and sharing such great pieces with us and the world. We really hope you enjoy it as we did :)
