Dear Tiger friends,

After a summer break, we are back with a new podcast! This time from our dear friend and Katahaifisch founder Nico Tober.

Both as a label operator and musician, Nico has shaped our scene for years, and we are very happy that he is now joining our series.

Thank you for this wonderful set <3

🍃 Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308 🍃

[ GER] 
Nach einer etwas längeren Pause in unserer Podcastreihe begrüßen wir heute Xia Ke aus Shanghai. Der sympathische Producer, DJ und Labelbetreiber mit dem Hang zu organischen Klängen im deepen Downtempogewand ist uns bereits vor einiger Zeit aufgefallen. Seine Mixe bestechen durch eine große Dichte an Atmosphäre, welche durch überwiegend cineastische Übergänge erzeugt wird. Quasi ein Sound der auch gut zu unserer Reihe passt. Ein wenig angepasst hat er diesen aber trotzdem. aber hört selber und findet den Unterschied. 

Tausend Dand Xia für diese feine Reise ins Dickicht der organischen Afterhour.

[ ENG ]
After a slightly longer break in our podcast series, we welcome Xia Ke from Shanghai today. We noticed this likeable producer, DJ, and label owner with a penchant for organic sounds in deep downtempo guise some time ago. His mixes captivate with their dense atmosphere, which is created predominantly by cinematic transitions. It's a sound that fits well with our series. He has adapted it a little, though. But listen for yourself and see if you can spot the difference. 

A thousand thanks to Xia for this fine journey.

It's a set prepared for our upcoming label tour. I want to illustrate a more moody downtempo soundscape to the Chinese local audiences. There are also some great productions from my label Autumn Equinox.

Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308

Hej people,
here is the set that I played at Kater at the wonderful liminal Event on September 26th in 2025. It's hard to play fluffy downtempo these days and because I didnt feel like playing filthy downtempo I dug deep into the fluffy deep house sound of the 2010s. 27 of these 40 tunes are released before 2015, most around 2010/2011. I hope you like this fluffy driving ride <3
if you want to know any IDs, feel free to ask in the comments :)

Iorie "Traveling Through Time" @ Kater Berlin, September 2025

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome ELIXIR (@schaklelixir)

Recorded live at the Mystic Creatures Festival in Poland on September 7th, 2025, this set captures a magical moment in time—the closing sunrise of an unforgettable festival season. After a stormy Saturday, the skies opened as the first rays of light broke through, blessing ELIXIR’s final festival performance of the year with warmth and radiance. It was a moment of synchronicity—music, nature, and community merging into one.

ELIXIR is more than a name—it’s a potion. A mixture of (E)lisa & Lexy, equal parts intoxicating and enchanting. Their sound blends the allure of dark indie dance with the pulse of nasty melodic house, infused with sultry vocals and drops that hit with undeniable force.

Since coming together five years ago, the duo has honed their alchemy on international stages, from German clubs such as the legendary Kater Blau to renowned festivals including Fusion and Bucht der Träumer*. With roots behind the decks dating back to 2014 and 2018 respectively, ELIXIR continues to brew a sound that is both dangerous and irresistible—poisonous but delicious.

Their Journey Series recording from Mystic Creatures Festival is not just a set—it’s a vessel of memory, energy, and emotion. A gift from one season of magic to the next.

About:  
For release number 43, Kiosk ID brings together desert-born pathos and psychedelic sound design. Meeting somewhere between the Nevada desert and the European festival circuit, Temple Tears and bīsu deliver a scintillating, groove-driven three-tracker tinged with acid and ethnic undercurrents. 

On ‘Addiction,’ Temple Tears delivers a radiant Melodic House cut driven by compact drum structures and brightly blazing synth contortions. Artfully oscillating between brooding, mechanical, and beautifully emotive, Temple Tears’ strobing synth patterns invoke a sense of beatific fragility—glints of light in a darkly churning groove machine. 

‘Temple Kiss’ is an eclectic amalgamation of Temple Tears and bīsu’s aesthetics: plucky and organic on the surface, massive and sub-heavy below, and supercharged by a wild streak of acid, Temple Kiss unfolds high-octane groove structures, subtle ethnic hues, and huge, blown-out acid eruptions. The result is a supercollision of genres—inventive, raw, and powerfully physical. 

bīsu closes with ‘Hear Me,’ a hypnotic, sawtooth-laden seance suspended across fields of mangled pads that gradually transform into radiant clouds of otherworldly aether. Throaty incantations, blossoming strings, and commanding lead patterns bloom across the frequency spectrum like creeping hallucinogens. The result is both haunting and euphoric, a modulated blend of grit and transcendence. 

Across two solo contributions and a collab, Temple Kiss delivers three beautiful renditions of its creators’ artistic DNA—darkly throbbing, brightly transcendent, and beautifully fused into a hypnotic desert totem made for the deepest reaches of the playa.
