Absorbing the world pulsing from within.
Grooves slide like liquid, wonky glides fizz and dissolve into somewhere else - Laid-back, a little dirty and full of sly detail. Feel it soak, filter and return.

This is the recording of my live set, which I played at Beate Uwe, Berlin, on 13.04.2025. I am very happy to share it with you, with the help of my friends who made it all possible.

In the beginning, I say “my history” to the crowd. I use that phrasing because, although I see humanity as one consciousness, one god that connects all, and the ego part of the human being should take up as little space as possible, there is a huge lesson I learned later in life: when it comes to responsibility, it always comes down to an individual. The purpose of a human being should be to write a history, a book that future generations might read and learn from as much as possible. The key and the difficult part of life is to live in such a way that your line of history and life doesn’t bother others or, in the best case, shares knowledge and helps others. So, each one of us has our own individual history, which is tied to our body and mind, and we use those “tools,” so to speak, to contribute to the one and strive for a better reality for loved ones around us. Only in that way can it manifest as good for other people. Now, going back to the gig, this was a big part of my history because, even though I’ve been writing songs since I was 11 years old, I started producing electronic music using Georgian folk sounds and authenticity eight years ago. The best possible community and place where I could play my work live and record it is Beate Uwe in Berlin. I received so much love and appreciation in that safe space, one could only dream of it. I feel very thankful, and the “my history” part is that this is the only live recording I have published in my life. It feels like the logical end of a cycle of eight years of work and the beginning of a new one, as I am going to play only live after this. Before, I had been playing lots of hybrid sets, but I feel very confident now that my path should continue in sharing my sound. I am very thankful for my friends and the community that made this all possible.

One note I have is that my vision while playing the live set is that I want all individual tracks to be appreciated one by one, where the listener also gets the set as a whole, but I try to play in a way that, track by track, each one has its own history, just like humans.

Take a listen, and I hope you enjoy! Love you.


Gogi Gunia Live @ Beate Uwe, Berlin, 13.04.2025

Danke von Herzen an den Kauz für die schöne Stimmung bei "Kauz meets Heimlich" am 8. März. 
Ich hatte die Ehre, das Intro zu spielen – und schon ab dem ersten Track war der Club voll. Grund dafür war auch die Eröffnungsparty der neuen Kühlbox, dem zweiten Floor, was für extra Bewegung und Freude gesorgt hat. Die Leute kamen früh, tanzten, lachten und strahlten bis zum Schluss. Es hat riesig Spass gemacht.
Das Set ist ein Live-Recording – eingefangen genau so, wie es war: direkt, ehrlich und mit viel Kauzliebe.
Bis in einer Woche, Kauz – dann bin ich wieder bei dir, im Rahmen von Down to Earth by @aka_tony. Ich liebe Käuze! 🦉🖤

Big love to Kauz for the beautiful vibes at Kauz meets Heimlich on March 8. I had the pleasure of opening the night – and from the very first track, the club was already buzzing. One big reason: it was also the opening party of the brand new second floor, the Kühlbox, which added even more energy and movement to the space.

People arrived early, danced, laughed, and stayed glowing until the very end.
The set is a live recording – raw, real, and full of feeling.

Back at it in a week, Kauz – this time for Down to Earth by Aka-Tony.
I really do love Käuze. 🦉🖤

Russian duo Doyeq return to Kiosk ID with Sequence 8—a radiant three-tracker that navigates the edges of groove and abstraction, diving deep into three distinct soundscapes. Across a triad of originals and a remix by Mexico’s Nada, catalog no. 37 unfolds beautifully engineered layers of melodic storytelling, striking a delicate balance between sonic opulence and spacious restraint.  

Doyeq open their EP with Sequence 8 and its vast, maximalist orchestra of shimmering arpeggios and warm, enveloping saws. Drawing its power from the hypnotic interplay of shifting tones, textures, and timbres, the track offers a masterclass in harmonic layering—ornate yet feather-light, powerfully maximal yet enrapturing and approachable. A slow-burning journey that fuses intricacy with flow.   

Where Sequence 8 is lush and melodically opulent, Broken Space pulls its complexity from a searing found-sound-inspired array of sizzles, lasers, and impacts. Set against a stripped yet throbbing beat, the track reveals a buzzing, glitchy cosmos where metallic hits and tactile effects propel the groove forward—elegantly grounded by resonant bells, a rolling bassline, and an irresistibly catchy lead.   

On LFO, Doyeq dive into a lush, electric jungle of chirps, blips, ethnic drums, and kinetic pads, anchored by a growling saw and a driving, techy groove. Equal parts soothing auditory journey and playful dancefloor burner, it’s a smashing jungle groover laced with wonder, brightness, and tongue-in- cheek flair.   

Nada’s remix of LFO transforms the original into a sprawling, downtempo meditation. Vast, lamenting sawtooth tones stretch across a sparse, growling sub-texture, while escalating noise patterns and chirpy lasers rise and collapse in waves above. Unfolding with deliberate patience, Nada peels back the layers of the original’s emotional DNA—committing to every modulation, every morphing contour with uncompromising artistic rigor.   

With Sequence 8, Doyeq refine their deep blend of melodic maximalism, channeling their craft into a captivating fusion of avant-garde vision and floor-focused sensibility. The result is a rarified blend of electronic music—rich in texture, brimming with feeling, and inviting both body and mind to explore the microcosms within.

Doyeq - LFO (Nada Remix) [Kiosk I.D.]

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

For Cuddle Cast #30 we asked our long time friend and Hugger @skaruu to record one hour of cuddly music for you all.

Drifting like jellyfish in a sea of sound, this Mother’s Day cuddle cast wraps you in waves of love, softness, and underwater hugs. 

If its mothers day in your country when you are reading this, call her now. 

If its not, maybe still do it, mothers are amazing every day of the year. 

Afterwards you can grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly.

Cuddle Cast # 30 - skarú

Dreams actually come true ✨

Everything started almost 7 years ago, when I got inside legendary club Kater Blau for the first time and started dreaming about maybe being able to play here some day.

Last Friday I had the chance of finally doing it and I’m beyond excited to share the recording with you all. 

I will always keep it in my memory. The dance floor was filled with beautiful and smiling faces, what an energy! A huge THANK YOU goes to every single person that was there dancing and making it so special 💛

Thank you Astrid and Cami for throwing such a legendary birthday gathering!

And special thanks to @martinkamusic & @dub_daddy_sound for everything 🚀

Big Love! 💛
