Kora >> Sets

Hello friends! Here is the recording of my very first set at Stereo Montréal

A place that truly feels like (((home))) 

A room that means so much to many of us and that sparks wonders for those who haven't been yet. A space where we can be free, all together. A spaceship that uses vibrations to bend space and time. A temple where music becomes alive.

It was an honour to have the chance to play in this room for 11 hours to the most amazing group of humans. It's been a dream of mine for so many years to have the chance to play there and it's one of most meaningful moments I ever lived. Stars were aligned, the collective energy was truly beautiful and I am happy to be able to share with you the soundtrack of that night. 

Thanks to all the @stereonightclub team for the incredible work to co-create such a sacred space for music. 

A special thanks to Luc for the cosmic visuals during the night.

And thanks to all of you family and friends who joined the journey.

This is Part One, between 00:00 and 06:08 am.

With love,

Mikael

Kora @ Stereo Montréal • All Night Long • Part One [30.04.2022]

Hello friends!  ☯︎

Here's the recording of an ambient set I had the pleasure to play at Harvest Festival 2022 this fall. The gathering took place in a beautiful pine forest in Ontario and has been happening for over 20 years now.  

I would describe this set as Yin energy, a place where the rhythms are less dominant, which allows the storytelling to be experienced in a more calm environnement. It’s one of the most fulfilling moments that I felt in my music journey this year. 

In the sometimes chaotic and noisy world we live in, it feels somehow very healthy and natural to connect with these frequencies that are rooted, zen, earthy yet cosmic. A sonic safe space in which we can be present and breathe. 

Like my yoga teacher would say:  may the benefit of this session be shared with all beings in the world. 

Thank you for listening

Kora

Thanks and acknowledgements: 

  I want to acknowledge the recording of this set was done in Burk’s Falls Ontario, on aboriginal land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning. In particular, we acknowledge the Anishinaabeg territory. 

Thank you to Justin, Angela, Hugues and all the Harvest community for creating a space to share this kind of music as a way to land the festival and ground ourselves. Thank you to the amazing participants who were there to listen and share the space with us! 

Super grateful for all the amazing artists, musicians and composers who created the songs I got to play in this mix. I also really enjoyed meeting Andrew Interchill during that weekend and discovering his amazing ambient performance on the same night.

  I’m thankful for Ashlee for joining me during that weekend and sharing some of those beautiful songs that she collected over the past year. She also took the cover art picture! x

Kora ☯︎ Yin Ambient Set @ Harvest 2022

Pura Vida friends - It’s with goosebumps that I share with you the recording of my sunrise set at Envision 2023 in the jungle of Uvita in Costa Rica. 

It was an honour to have the chance to soundtrack the last sunrise of the festival on the Lapa Stage. 

It’s my second time participating at this powerful gathering, but the first time doing a deep dive and camping on site for 7 days. What an incredible experience! The jungle comes with its challenges, including the heat, the humidity, the bugs and the lack of sleep. But it’s so much worth it!

I believe these moments outside the comfort of our home are actually allowing us to feel alive, bond with our fellow camp companions, and appreciate the highs even more. 

  Apart from being an incredibly unique festival experience with a beautifully diverse music programming, the one thing that is blowing my mind is its focus on sustainability, innovation and environmental initiatives. 

Let’s not fool ourselves, a lot of foreigners including artists are flying from around the world for this event like many other destination festivals, so there’s clearly an important carbon footprint coming from that movement. 

But once you get to the festival grounds, you can instantly feel that respecting Mother Nature is at the core of the intentions of Envision. From the bamboo used to build the stages to the respect of the land, from the water consumption to the fully compostable food merchants, from the waste management to the Eco Hub where you can learn about ecology…

The most exciting thing I discovered is the “SOMOS EL CAMBIO” project that is a reforestation initiative in partnership with the local indigenous communities that invites the participants to adopt trees and plant various species to create a natural corridor that links the top of the mountain to the sea, which is essential for water systems, fauna and flora. 

In addition to that, Envision offers an abundance of workshops, discussions, meditations, sound healings, women’s circles, vegan food, healthy drinks…proof that a large scale sonic gathering can actually evolve into a transformative experience beyond entertainment. That’s in my opinion an important vessel for change on the individual and collective scale and I’m hopeful a lot of events around the world will take this direction that is more aligned with Earth’s frequency. 

 Days and nights flew by, and suddenly it’s Sunday morning…time to get ready! All the stories, conversations and inspirations from different events during the week lead me to collect clues and pieces of the puzzle along the way which brought me have a better idea of what I would want to play for the sunrise moment. 

The Sunday programming was awesome, with music from  Marques Wyatt, Zach Walker, SIS and Township Rebellion. I started at 4:30 am as the night was still dark, following up Township who played a really cool energetic nocturnal session. He landed with quite a groovy track and it felt the energy was really high on the floor when I got to start. 

So quite in the opposite polarity of a traditional evolving set, this one started with a quite electric feel, blooming into a warmer and light daytime morning vibe.  

The first beams of light started appearing as I played ‘Tantale’ - Rafaelle jumped in at this moment to add vocals and it felt like a symbolic timing to transition from Luna to Sol energy.  

Thanks to my partner Ashley for joining me in this journey, my awesome Montréal friends Dexter, Gabrielle, Patrice, Rafaelle, Thibault, Caterina, Hellan and so many more that brought such a good energy so we all give everything we’ve got to land the astral plane. Thanks to all the amazing humans who danced with us! 

Also thankful for Driss, Uma and all the Envision crew for the invitations. Kudos to the sound team who worked tirelessly to make some miracles happen in the wild jungle. 

May we keep dancing to connect a little bit more with who we are: nature. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this set!

Cycle 40 // Kora

Alright, Gab Rhome, you convinced us! Our livers (and waistlines) could use a cleansing break after all those delicious cocktails. Let’s cut out booze for a while and enjoy a rejuvenating and energizing glass of the earth’s most delicious, most healthy foods: milk!  

Gab Rhome, born in Montréal and living in NYC, milked his favorite cow (what’s her name by the way?) on his farm to ensure today’s Schirmchendrink is full of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. 

Grab a cookie and dip it into Gab’s dreamy and hypnotic vibes. 

He began his musical journey at an early age playing multiple instruments while being shaped by jazz music, and it only took a few years before making a transition towards the rhythms of dance music. 

Only within few years of producing Gab gained worldwide attention with releases on label heavy weights such as All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Kindisch, Get Physical and Last night on Earth.  

His delicate melodic tech-house productions have brought him on journeys across the globe, for example to the @radiovenao Gathering in Panama, where this set was recorded. As you are about to experience, a similar voyage is built during his dj sets.  

Thank you, Gab, for caring about our health! And now let’s finish your milk! We can’t put it back to the cow… 

Cheers, 
The bartenders

CHAPTER II

[...]
B L A C K O U T. No sound, no light, it is total darkness on the dance floor, a complete power outage. I immediately tell myself it must be the breaker or generator. The technician appears and he start troubleshooting.

I grab my african shaker and play a little rhythm to keep people entertained. My loyal trooper friends in the DJ booth start humming a song to mask the silence.

Four, five, six minutes pass by, but it feels like an eternity. People from the crowd are slowly walking away but the people who were the most in the flow remain on the dance floor, optimistic that we will solve the problem. We conclude that the powerbar where all the DJ gear is connected is causing the breaker to shut down, with too much water leaking on it during the storm. We quickly find a replacement, unplug, replug, and turn it on again. SUCCESS! All the lights are shining and the gear is back online again. 

Decision time–  in what direction will I take this set now? Do I start where I left off, or should I build a new set? Over 10 minutes of dead silence, the energy from the previous set is completely lost. The people on the dancefloor are patiently waiting for the next chapter and I trust them immensely. 

They are troopers, music lovers, as they remained with me through the downpour. This trust allows me to take my time to rebuild a new foundation for the rest of the journey. I go into my “Intro & acoustic”  folder again and choose a record. Chapter II begins. 

I truly felt grateful for Mother Nature playing her part in this adventure by joining us on the dancefloor. I was overwhelmed with a sense of being alive and present, and I was so grateful & thankful to share this experience with these beautiful people.

Come sail with https://soundcloud.com/fulltone who delivered such a beautiful journey on the Veronicaschip. Klassified is about writing new stories but it is also about the forgotten hidden colourful history. Fulltone took us back to the 1960's where Veronicaschip was one of the first independent radio stations that provided an bold alternative sound to the Netherlands by being offshore. 
Embark into a new adventure, where the status quo is challenged, where colours dance with soundscapes, where Fulltone gave the Veronicaschip all its splendours!

Our fourth episode welcomes Elif. Ever since we first listened to her wonderful sets she doesnt stop to amaze us. And we're still dreaming about what happened when she took over at @thegardensofbabylon in Basel...

Heal Play Love creates music driven and spiritually influenced experiences that celebrate humanity.

Inspired by amazing travels, and having met many beautiful human beings, as well as attending festivals and experiencing Burning Man several times, we felt like doing something similar for the community in Switzerland.

Artist Info:
Madota is the musical lovechild of urban shepherds Behnam & Mehran. Iranian by birth, Canadian by upbringing, these two have come a long way from their own journeys before reuniting in Berlin.

What we know is that their deeply rooted love for electronic music led them to storm Vancouver's nightlife as DJs since 2011 which in turn prepared them to start their experimentation with making music that pulls influences from their hyphenated backgrounds. Their music captures their subtle lust for colorful and organic sounds coupled with their itch for darker forward-leaning grooves.

Their music has already taken them to perform numerous times in legendary gatherings such as Katerblau in Berlin, ZERO in NYC, Acidcase in Berlin and Woomoon in Ibiza. They continue to nurture their lovechild in Berlin with releases on labels such as Get Physical, Kindisch and Kiosk I.D.

Madota @ Melodic Therapy #094 - Germany

I just returned from the magical Bonjuk Bay. This place is something else. The nature, the people, the love. So much beauty. It felt like returning to the essence of life. 

There were many magical moments but this sunset set is something I will never forget. Standing in-between the palm trees, looking at all these beautiful people dancing, celebrating the last moments of sunshine before we fade into the night.

My heart is filled with gratitude.

🙏❤️

Sunset @ Bonjuk Bay | September 2020

Together, we can use the power of music to re〜align our vibrations with nature's frequency.
