Podcasts

"DHV Presents" is our new series of mixes, featuring artists we hold dear. We'll showcase DJs, live acts and music artists that have created truly unforgettable moments with their performances. This is not about bathing in nostalgia however - we actually want to relive those sacred moments with you, by inviting those artists to open portals that allow us to step right back onto those packed spaces of rhythmically swaying dancers. 
Let's get lost in their art until we're finally reunited.

To kickstart things in fashion, we are honoured to have Mira on board with a very special Easter edition mix.

And here is what she likes to share about this mix: 
"My very dear friend Niki Sadeki asked for a podcast for Deep House Vancouver quite a while ago, but I was always busy and after we finally found a date I delayed it again and again :D I guess because she never gave me a proper deadline which I normally need to get started. Finally I managed to finish the mix which is a something in-between podcast and DJ set I would have played live. So the first part could stand alone but at some point I decided I want to keep going and brought up the energy again. I guess I’m more than ready to go back on stage. Hope to see you all soon! Happy Easter to everybody <3 "

Mira is that rare kind of DJ whose music can immediately transport you into her world - a midnight circus in Berlin, where time loses all definition and anything becomes possible. 
As a resident at Bar25, Kater Holzig and her current home of Kater Blau, Mira has been a defining proponent of a deeper, more soulful and organic kind of dance music. 
Her yearly birthday events at Kater Blau ‘Katzen Tanzen auf’m Tisch’ attract thousands of international visitors every year, and have hosted a multitude of previously unknown artists who have now gone on to tour the globe. 
In the studio and behind the decks, Mira often collaborates with her partner-in-crime Christopher Schwarzwälder, and the two of them have released a host of chart-topping singles. 
Mira has been at the top of her game for the past twenty years, continuously shaping the sounds around her, and never ceasing to push inspiring new artists. As happy playing at a small underground club in East Germany in the 90s as she is playing to thousands of festival-goers at Burning Man - Mira is one of those artists of whom you can truly say that she’s doing it for the love of the music.

DHV Presents - Mira

Wow time flies… I played my very first dj set in front of a crowd exactly 25 years ago. I used to practice in the basement of a youth club every week because I couldn’t afford my own turntables. When playing my first gigs I was shaking and was so intimidated I could barely speak. Honestly, it’s still the same even if I’m able to hide it now. If I wouldn’t feel this nervousness and excitement any longer I would let it go and quit. 
Since we are still not able to celebrate properly I prepared a podcast for you with my current favorite slow tracks. 
I think it’s perfect for the upcoming summer vibes, for listening at home and dreaming about festivals 🐈💫🌈❤️🦄

We loved playing at @m-n-roy so much, we couldn’t stop until 8am - the vibe, the sound and the people were just fire! Our recording device was full after a few hours, but we wanted to share an excerpt of our extended set with you. It’s the beginning of a long musical trip that took us to a whole other sonic sphere - thank you Mexico City and gracias Rocco & Rodrigo for taking this ride with us :)
Love,
C&S

Sunday evening somewhere in the forest of Germany, day 3 at the beautiful and magical Lusatia Festival. The sun was setting, dust from dancing people, smoke all around the dance floor, smiling beauties everywhere and the vibe! was simply amazing! And we are glad to share with all of you our recording from this mystical evening 

Big thanks to everyone who spend the sunset with ours and to the entire team of Lusatia for creating such an amazing festival.

Zicatela teaser version

The sun rising and shining on a beautiful (Pfingsten)Monday morning in Berlin and everyone on the dancefloor shining along with it. 

Due to the delay in next artist's arrival I ended up playing around 4 hours instead of 3 and cherished every second of it. What you have here is the recording of last 80 minutes of it. Thank you for being there ever present, for smiling, for dancing, chanting and cheering! <3

GiZ @ Sisyphos Strand //  6 to 10 am

Thank you Garbicz!  

No words can express the madness that overcame us all that day at Seebühne, but we’re going to try anyway because that doesn’t happen every day :)  

All hands up, hundreds of smiles and goosebumps and giggles all around us. It was a magical kind of madness that we shared with so many people, and we just wanted to say thank you to those who were there for creating this insane vibe with us. 

Special shout out to the ravers out there who started the flash mob. That was epic <3 

Love, C & S

Mira is that rare kind of DJ whose music can immediately transport you into her world - a midnight circus in Berlin, where time loses all definition and anything becomes possible. 

Born in East Germany to a renowned photographer and a classical musician, she began DJing in 1996 and quickly rose to prominence as part of the growing underground techno scene around Leipzig and Halle/Saale. Her dedication to her craft and natural talent swiftly paid off with a series of rapid successes, leading her to substantially shape the electronic music scene of Eastern Germany from that point on. 

In 2006, Mira moved to Berlin, Europe’s capital of electronic music, where she found her musical home at the legendary Bar25. Situated on the banks of the river Spree with parties that lasted into the middle of the week, Bar25 was the true embodiment of Berlin’s club scene in the 2000s. In the company of notable artists such as Nu, Acid Pauli, Feathered Sun and Christopher Schwarzwälder, a musical language was being formed that looked past the minimal trends of the time towards a more nuanced, organic musical language. 

It was from this here that Mira rose to fame throughout Europe and the world, as she suddenly became a defining representative of a distinctive sound that was going global. Deep and soulful whilst always maintaining a continuous, sensual groove, Mira’s sprawling, hypnotic sets became the soundtrack for many an endless night at Bar25, Kater Holzig and now, Kater Blau. 

The centrepiece of Mira’s residencies at these clubs has been her yearly birthday event ‘Katzen Tanzen auf’m Tisch’, which runs for three days straight every December. Curated by Mira from a selection of old friends and new faces, the series has hosted a multitude of  then-unknown artists who have now gone on to tour the globe. In 2020, Mira’s birthday series came in the form of a compilation for the first time, showcasing the spirit of her events over 43 original tracks. Also a year-round booker at Kater Blau and curator for the Kater-affiliated label Kiosk I.D., Mira’s fingerprints are all over the sound of the club.

In the studio, Mira often collaborates with her partner-in-crime Christopher Schwarzwälder, and the two of them have released a host of chart-topping singles. This partnership has since carried on to dancefloors globally, where their legendary back-to-back sets make for a perfect musical dialogue between the two artists, who share a deep understanding and love of sound.

Mira has been at the height of her game for the past twenty years, continuously shaping the sounds around her, and never ceasing to push inspiring new artists. As happy playing in a small underground club in East Germany in the 90s as she is playing to thousands of festival-goers at Burning Man - Mira is one of those artists of whom you can truly say that she’s doing it for the love of the music. 

Every time a new track by some undiscovered producer falls into her lap is a new moment to fall in love again with her craft, and spread that love with the tens of thousands who hear her play.

For Kiosk ID no. 034, Israel’s Yost Koen and Turkey’s Enes Çakır merge their percussive and melodic sensibilities, concocting a refreshing blend of vaulting chord chops and soulful vocals framed in an infectious substructure of nuanced, tech-infused drum work. ‘Stop Me’ delivers a suave two-tracker filled with bursts of incredible joie de vivre, including remixes by Dodi Palese & Musumeci and Ivory.

‘Stop Me’ draws its unique dancefloor physicality from an amalgamation of influences framed by an irresistibly shuffling groove.
Dubby in sound makeup, techy in structure, and powerfully soulful in its vocal passages, ‘Stop Me’ is an expertly forged genre-bender, cycling through spaced-out synth chops and patterns that deftly merge groove and melodics.

‘Burn For You’ unfolds a powerfully danceable and introspective journey. Merging dubby, spaced-out chords with a deep and techy beat, Yost and Enes progressively unfold crashing waves of piano chords, transforming the track's mesmeric atmosphere into a soulfully
uplifting warehouse soiree.

Dodi Palese and Musumeci strip ‘Stop Me’ down to its soulful, pulsing core. Carving a vast frequency band for a warmly pitch-bending synth mantra that becomes the track’s energetic core, the Italian duo transforms the original into an artfully pruned character track that feels equal parts new age and old school.

Ivory’s ‘Burn For You’ Re-Fire Edit coaxes up the floaty original’s minute smidges of techy darkness, amplifying them into an eerie, throbbing roller that cumulates in oscillating waves of wailing sirens and a darkly shuddering beat.

Yost Koen and Enes Çakır are masters at finding the elusive balance between groove and melodics. Their sound effortlessly merges percussive structure with emotive depth, weaving complex patterns that deliver energy and emotion in tandem. ‘Stop Me’ is the apogee of this craft: a beautifully melodic tapestry that, on the dancefloor, delivers compelling physicality.
