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!

Kindisch Podcast #017 - Kora

Hola Soundcloud friends! 

First of all as promised, here's the tracklist: http://bit.ly/2iJfMQ3

Ahead of my Origine Tour, here's a set I recorded at my studio in Montreal a few days before leaving! I've included new music I've been working on this summer, but also beautiful gems from friends, labels and artists all around the globe. Thanks to these talented producers for always sending me quality stuff! 

If you're in Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai, Istanbul or Berlin in the next few days/weeks, let's connect! 

P.S. 
The artwork is a picture I shot a few weeks ago at Taureau Lake, Canada.
It's the inside of a burned wood log that I found as I was walking by the lake & I really liked the textures of it! 

Big hug xx

its very easy in life  to distract ourselves from things that matter the most........ lets not forget why we here for....

...things that matter

Here's(a part of)the recording of my set at Katerblau last weekend :)
I hope you enjoy it <3

El Mundo | Acid Bogen @ Kater Blau Berlin |

We are thrilled to have one of our favorites, the Toronto-based boss lady Jenner, for our special Burning Man Decompression Mix. 

"Each time I venture into the dust, something changes. It’s a time for reflection. A time for transition.  It is a time to open one’s eyes and heart to new possibilities. A new vibration takes hold of me. 
This year, our burn started with palpable love and gratitude as two beautiful souls united as one while I played the Mayan Warrior. It felt like a dream. It still does. Moments like this can make you question reality. That’s the magic of burning man."  

About Jenner: 
Jenner (AKA – The Dark Princess) started her musical journey in 2002 when she discovered an after hours club in Berlin, Germany with fellow backpackers. It was at this moment that Jenner began her love affair with underground electronic music. From 2002 to 2007, Jenner regularly attended Toronto’s night clubs and after hours that hosted many of today’s biggest DJ’s in the scene but it wasn’t until 2008 that Jenner bought her first set of CDJs and mixer, and began honing her skills as a DJ.
Since then, Jenner has played many Toronto clubs and events, including Coda, Summerdaze/Bespoke Experience, and Promise Cherry Beach. Her upcoming debut on the Mayan Warrior at Burning Man 2018 is slated to top her list of most memorable events, in addition to Camp Summerdaze and Harvest Music Festival.
Jenner is known for her deep infectious ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, hypnotic melodies, and perfectly selected vocals to captivate her audience further. Deeper. Darker. There is an excitement on the dance floor that’s palpable when Jenner gets on the decks. Close your eyes and feel the energy through the music.

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!

Symbiose — a state of flow, a synergy between elements, a relationship interconnecting living organisms. 🌱 
____

I always found it challenging to record a studio podcast: my analytical mind is trying to calculate every move, evaluate each transition & criticize the selection. I have time, music & equipment at my disposal, but one key element is missing to really tell a story: humans.
____

I encountered that problem last weekend. Although I was playing music I enjoy, I felt that my technically structured mix was too stiff and impersonal. 

____

Then, some of my favourite humans turned up at the studio. As Ashley, Apolline, Axel & Robin entered the room, the studio was suddenly filled with a great energy & I felt like pressing the rec button again, just for fun - this is when the first minutes of  S y m b i o s e  were captured. 
____

I feel this studio mix is an authentic representation of the energy levels I like to navigate through during a longer set. It features some of my favourite tracks in a nod to the past but also has a touch of the future; new sounds that are moving me forward & some of my new compositions. 
____

I’m happy to share this mix as I’m taking off for Argentina, what marks my first adventure of the decade. This music session brought me clarity, presence & joy! I hope you'll resonate with it.

Thank you for joining the story,

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.
