Chateau Flight - Superflight

Der Beginn des September steht ganz im Zeichen der Entschleunigung. Eine neue Zeit beginnt, eine neue Reise erwartet uns. @ener-music hat das Ruder mit beiden Händen in die Hand genommen und manövriert das Schiff in bisher noch unbekannte Sphären des musikalischen Raumes.

Wir freuen uns sehr über diesen emotionalen Beitrag zu unser kleinen Serie und begrüßen mit @ener-music einen Rostocker Jungen, der zusammen mit der Faultierdisko Crew und seiner Podcast Serie "deep&smooth" zu einem Downbeat-Leuchtturm im Norden gewachsen ist.

Wir sind Éner schon seit einiger Zeit verfallen und haben seinen unverwechselbaren Sinn für entschleunigte Platten sehr sehr schätzen gelernt. Darüber hinaus liegt sein Fokus nicht auf irgendwelchen Hypes oder Trends, sondern vielmehr auf der Liebe zur Musik und Idee und Leidenschaft hinter dem Ganzen. Allein deshalb ist er etwas ganz besonderes und der MeeronautenCast eine absolute Perle.

Vielen DanK!

Hier noch ein paar weiterführende Links zu Èner, seinen Projekten und Crews:

Nehbel (https://soundcloud.com/nehbel) presents „Transcendence“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 251

Der liebe Simon beschenkt uns heute mit seiner Version einer Afterhour, die ihr euch auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen solltet. Der Mix ist gespickt mit viel Tiefe, Gemächlichkeit und verträumten Passagen, die das Innere nach Außen kehren lassen. Definitiv ein Stilmittel, dass in vielen seiner Mixe zu finden ist. Daher solltet ihr euch neben diesem vorzüglichen Mix auch seine Rezeptorcast Reihe anhören. Lohnt sich.           << https://soundcloud.com/nehbel/sets/rezeptorcasts-n >>

Anbei noch seine Stellungnahme zu unseren Fragen:

• Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?

Eine gute Afterhour ist für mich, wenn die Menschen, die schnelle Befriedigung brauchten, gegangen sind; wenn verbleibende Zombies mit warmen Frequenzen vertrieben werden wie Vampire vom Sonnenlicht; wenn die Semi-Überzeugten ins Bett gefunden haben und nur noch über ist, wer einfach nicht gehen will und weiß, dass die Belohnung nach hinten raus funkelt; wenn mögliche Erwartungen an die endende Nacht sich in Luft aufgelöst haben und einen ausgelassenen Menschenhaufen zurücklassen, bestehend aus den freundlichsten Gesichtern die sich vielleicht vorher noch nicht begegnet sind, aber doch zutiefst vertraut sind - harmonierend, wie man es mit niemandem für möglich gehalten hätte - auf einer Welle schwingend und zelebrierend, als würde der inzwischen zeitlose Moment einfach nie enden.

• Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?

Ich entdecke aktuell verschiedene Genres neu, welche ich in Zukunft weiter erforschen und in meine Sets mit einbringen will - ob noch mehr Deep House, Chicago House, Italo / Bretter Disko oder auch Tech-House. Allerdings, nach diesem Jahr, in dem nach meinem Eindruck Tech-House und (Trash-) Remixes überhand genommen haben - geprägt von einer kompromisslosen Vorwärtskultur mit einer ordentlichen Prise Trash und Spotify Recommendations - fühle ich mich mit diesem Afterhour Sounds Cast eher in Momente und Stimmungen zurück, wie sie für mich am schönsten waren, auch wenn sie teilweise noch aus einer Zeit vor COVID stammen.

• Was sind deine musikalischen Einflüsse? Was ist dein musikalischer Hintergrund?

Trotz einer umfassenden musikalischen Ausbildung in jungen Jahren, habe ich erst vor kurzem begonnen, mich aktiv durch Musik auszudrücken. Beeinflusst von Techno/House der 00er Jahre in Hamburg, einer Dubstep/Drum'n'Bass-getriebenen Subkultur in Edinburgh und einer Glitch/Trap/Deep-House-gefärbten Festivalszene in Kalifornien, zeigen meine musikalischen Reisen eine Wertschätzung für verschiedene Genres - mit neueren Inspirationen aus der sich wunderbar entwickelnden Downtempo-Techno und Keta-Pop-Szene in Deutschland.

Nehbel presents „Transcendence“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 251

narfux [at] Beate Uwe [ LIVE-SPECIAL ]

Recording date: 6.11.22
Venue: Beate Uwe

https://soundcloud.com/narfux is joining our LIVE-SPECIAL series (https://soundcloud.com/afterhour-sounds/sets/live-special) straight from the fabolous berlin based club https://soundcloud.com/beateuwe. Enjoy the recording.

• What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

I dont "come" from a musical background, in my child hood music wasn't a very present aspect in my life and now it is what I dedicate my moments to. Sound is what interests me, the daily life sound, the sounds that hold invitations to deepen your moments, the sounds that make my inner and outer world move with curiosity, sounds for the deep listener. 

Opening Traktor for the first time in 2019 when in hospital with help from a dear beloved, I was made aware on such a deep level the ability of healing which comes from outworldy expresion through sound. From that point on the rabbit hole of wonder continues.

 

• What makes good "afterhour"?

A good afterhour for me are the moments of deep surrender, filled with Gratitude for the present. Being surrounded by and experiencing it with loving beings in softness, cheekiness and love. Lets pour some tea and listen to some melting ambient together, or lay in the sun listening to the wind in the trees, lets laugh and celebrate eachother. 

 • Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

I had the impulse to play the same track at the start and at the end, to hold the journey with the message of Love. This for me, is what I wish to convey in all my musical journeys. 

 
• What was your experience of the set you recorded?

Beate Uwe is one of my beloved home bases, so playing here is always a heart expansion. Watching the bodies flowing and moving on all different levels was and is such a joy, I was in awe at the beauty of it all. It is such an honour to play for you and to share this experience together. The last track moment has imprinted on me, an invitation into stillness it was beautiful to witness the embraces of self and others.

narfux [ at ] Beate Uwe [ Live-Special ]

On this glorious morning in March, Hekske (the little witch) woke up at the first sunlight. Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) was already awake and preparing their morning tea with the help of a family of squirrels. It was only a couple of days before the Spring equinox and finches and dunnocks were singing everywhere in the forest. Spring was in the air. 
After drinking a cup of herbal tea, the girls felt the urge to go and see the weeping willow which is standing in the middle of the central clearing of the forest. Soon, Hekske and Falke were standing at the foot of the giant tree, looking up in awe at its majestic dome-shaped canopy. This willow is by far the oldest tree in the forest and is believed to have been planted by Roxelana, the very first witch to live in these woods, which was over a thousand years ago. Hekske and Falke spontaneously gave a gentle hug to the age-old stem of the tree, and a feeling of sadness descended upon them. They were thinking back at all the animals who had died during the drought of last summer, and to all the trees which had been uprooted by the autumn storms. Both girls wept with thick tears rolling over their cheeks. After a while the Spring sun shone on the willow tree, and the witches looked at all the activity around them. A few meters away a hedgehog had just woken up from his winter sleep and popped up from underneath a pile of leaves. The young girls looked with tenderness while the drowsy animal was stretching his legs for the first time of the year. Falke casually touched one of the hanging branches of the willow tree, and to her amazement fresh green leaves unfolded in a matter of seconds. Then also Hekske touched another twig, which also magically turned green. The girls touched all the hanging twigs one by one, turning the whole tree in a fresh green color. When they looked around, they saw birds making nests everywhere. Their witch’s hearts filled with joy when looking at this hive of activity. Then something strange happened. A twig fell down just in front the girls’ feet. The witches immediately understood that the tree wanted this twig to be planted, just like the one the Ruthenian witch Roxelana (Роксолана) had planted at this very place, over 1000 years ago. Falke took the twig, and followed her inner voice to the place where they decided to plant this tiny little new willow tree. And this was the start of another journey of 1000 years …

Witchtape #144 | Guest Witch : Yara

After a rainy morning in late March, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) went for their daily inspection round of the damp witch’s forest. Along the way, they met with a group of squirrels, a group of starlings and a group of snails, after which they had a chat with Barney the barn owl. He remembered that centuries ago, there used to be special names for all specific groups of animals, but now all these names have been forgotten. Then Falke asked whether he was really sure that all these names had been lost for good. Barney gave it a deep thought, and then he said that ‘mayybee … maybe there is a chance that the owls of Snowdonia have preserved these ancient names’. And Barney proposed to fly to that place, which left the witches elated. Hekske uttered a size reduction spell and both (now pocket-sized) girls jumped on the back of Barney, who flew away in Western direction. After a long flight over the North Sea on the wings of the owl, a pod of porpoises showed them the way to the island of Albion. And on top of the white cliffs on the coast, the visitors were immediately spotted by a watch of nightingales, who showed them the way to Snowdonia. On the edge of the forest, a murmuration of starlings took over and guided their guests to the hollow willow tree. Barney, Hekske and Falke entered the tree through a small hole, but after entering they found themselves in the middle of a vast chamber which was full with owls. This was obviously the parliament of owls and its eldest member (a venerable eagle-owl) welcomed their visitors, and enquired what was the purpose of their quest. Hekske explained that they were seeking the names of all specific groups of animals. Upon hearing this request, the eyes of the eagle-owl lit up and he started to smile. He showed his visitors the way to a secret library, where they found a very old and dusty book. The eagle-owl explained that this was the original book of St-Albans, written in the 15th century and one of the oldest printed books of Albion (and the oldest English book written by a woman). Hekske and Falke cautiously opened the age-old book and browsed to the chapter about ‘The Companies of Beasties and Fowlies’. And there they found the list of all groups of animals … a gaggle of geese, a bike of bees, an unkindness of ravens, a murder of crows, a conspiracy of rooks, a skulk of foxes, a business of ferrets …
This book was a real treasure which left the witches breathless. The rest of the day, Hekske, Falke and Barney memorized over 100 different group names, after which they said goodbye to the parliament of owls and flew back to their home forest in Flanders. And after a long flight they got a warm welcome by a group of coots … and now they could reveal that they were actually a ‘covert’ of coots …

Witchtape #145 | Guest Witch : Eve Lyn

I keep my hopes on, meine Augen offen, beobachte die Welt vor mir, vergesse was hinter mir vergeht. Gehe durch die Straßen, trete auf nassgrauen Asphalt, stolper über Stock und Stein, gehe weiter und kneife die trockenen Augen zusammen. Auf der Suche nach den Farben. Ein Knopfdruck und meine kabellosen Kopfhörer schirmen die Welt um mich ab, löschen den Lärm aus meinem Kopf. Die Vorstellung beginnt, Kopfkino, Stereo Sound. Eile weiter, schiebe mich durch die Straßen und an der nächsten Ecke links aufs Abstellgleis. Will Platz machen für die, die noch schnell fahren können, die bereits im Frühjahr den Motor gewechselt haben, neuer Sprit, neue Riemen. Gleich gehts weiter, denk ich mir. Nur nochmal kurz ausatmen. Und während ich so stehe und um mich blicke, sehe ich sie. Die Farben. An den Balkonen, an den Bäumen, kleine Knospen und Blüten. Ich reibe mir die Augen und atme lange ein. Mache die Musik lauter und laufe los, einfach los, ohne Ziel. Strecke meine Arme in die Luft und renne, dem Frühling entgegen, @najesh_and_artisoko im Ohr. Endlich!

fLOYD tRAVIS aka fLOZAO is 1/2 of Warm & wÜRZIG and part of the infamous Love Crew Hamburg & Soko Kickloch.
He is a big mUSIC LoVER and after 2o years of just dancing and listening he dropped 2o17 into mixing as well... from slowdown over bouncin' techno to breaky shit. Make sure to check out his stuff, his sets are straight forward and don´t leave anybody standing around on the dancefloor.

fLOYD is also an amazing listener. 
He discovered bretfast´s sound two years ago and from the first contact via soundcloud there evolved a true friendship based on mutual respect of the others delicate ears and wide-range taste of any kind of music. 
he invited bretfast 2023 to play one of his very rare live sets at the Fundbureau as part of the Sokolovesolirave fLOYD and his crew throw regularly.

Thank you fLOYD for your support and big shouts to Hamburg my friend!

Amelie Lens @ Awakenings Festival 2017 (24-06-2017)

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer’s brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world’s number one techno label. 

2017 is no exception, with Beyer’s imprint hosting it’s first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam’s radio show that’s broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week. 

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode’s cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends. 

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens’ electrifying piece ‘In Silence’ sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill’s rough’n’ready ‘Mohave’. Pulsating and precise, ‘Mohave’ has highlighted many of Beyer’s sets recently as has Wehbba’s monster track ‘Fake’, which fans have been anticipating the release of all year. 

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on ‘A-Sides’ Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting ‘Just a Beat’ and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious ‘Preset Heaven’. 

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label’s prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

We're quite excited to present our next Podcast mixed by Najesh & Artišoko from Bern, Switzerland.

The two girls are newcomers to mixing, but have had a passion for electronic music for many years. They both share a great devotion for Downtech/Slowtech but say they will never let go of the magic of chilly Downtempo & Ketapop sounds. With a captured feeling of sun on your skin, moving music, beautiful new friendships, stunning festival moments and relaxed after hours, this podcast for driving slowly was born. A journey beginning with a feeling of melancholy and gratitude for what you have experienced.
