Tiny Boat Sessions by La Barca

Ah oui, l'amour! Tres jolie, la vie. No?

Unser Freund Manolis, Glitterboi hat in Anlehnung an die goldenen zwanziger Jahre – nach eigenen Aussagen – bereits vor zwei Jahren die Glitzerzwanziger eingeläutet. Nebst seiner Vorliebe für Baguettes und ausgefallene Outfits, hat er mit einigen anderen unlängst eine Veranstaltung aus allem, was wir mit den Zwanzigerjahren in Paris verbinden, gemacht: La Bohème ist verrucht, viel zu schick und hatten einen starken französischen Accent. Alles andere bleibt vorerst geheim. Aber die Crew dahinter will ganz bald schon von sich hören lassen. Uh lala – tres passionnant.

❖ Glitterboi ❖ ... La Bohème

what a wonderful experience to celebrate the beginning of a new year with so many beautiful people. Thank you to everyone who joined us and danced with us. We had a lot of fun playing in acid bogen and finally uploaded the first two hours of our set. Thank you to all the amazing artists for the incredible music! We hope you enjoy our set 🧡

Imagine a sunny day on a boat, floating through Berlin waters. What music would you like to listen to or share with everyone on board?

With this question in mind, we reached out to our friends and everyone came back to us with another musical interpretation. The result are the tinyboat sessions - a collection of mixtapes as diverse as our community. Anything that brings joy or lets our thoughts wander is welcome.

Today, we are thrilled to introduce @alle_anders and his three-hour journey of fresh and vibrant sounds, recorded after a day spent at La Barca during its construction phase. We are immensely grateful to have you as part of our musical family ♥

Get ready to embark on a mesmerizing ride. 
Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Today we are happy to introduce you to @lisathaens and her juicy downtempo journey. 
„Before I pressed the record button, I closed my eyes and imagined floating towards sunset with all my loved ones dancing barefoot on carpets around me. I chose spontaneously track by track, honoring the musical creations of the people I appreciate. And during the recording of the whole set I felt I light fresh breeze through my open windows, as if we were actually on La Barca at this specific moment. It felt very special.“

We are immensely grateful to have you as part of our musical family ♥️

Today we are so happy to introduce you to our dear friend @ivonneleon and her vibrant mixtape session!

"Durante la grabación de este set, imaginé a mis hermosas amigas en el momento en que estábamos subiendo a la barca, dejando las preocupaciones en la tierra y sintiéndome preparada para sumergirme en la música y el baile. Pensé en el momento en que podamos bailar bajo el cielo soleado y sintiendo el suave balanceo del agua bajo nuestros pies y el ritmo pulsante de la música que nos une, nos libera y nos llena de alegría. Me siento muy feliz que cada vez está más cerca ese momento!"

We are immensely grateful to have you as part of our musical family ♥️

We are thrilled to present to you our dear friend, @apsolismusic, and her captivating downtempo tunes.

Ana Paula made her way to Berlin from vibrant Mexico City last December. Since her arrival, she has been on a journey of self-discovery, infusing her new environment with her distinct style and exciting findings. This mixtape beautifully narrates her personal tale of embracing a new home, undergoing growth and transformation, and embarking on an exploration of both self and surroundings.

We are immensely grateful to have you as part of our musical family ♥️

Ahoy and welcome to our Tiny Boat Sessions, Luigi Russo (@luigi-russo-26). 

Our cherished friend from Napoli has graced us with yet another extraordinary mixtape session. "This mixtape exudes the essence of gathering, as I envisioned the sun casting its warm glow through the expansive glass windows, gently descending towards the horizon. It's a scene where everyone eases into the evening, moving freely to the rhythm, engaging in playful flirtation, and savoring unforgettable moments of joy."

We are immensely grateful to have you as part of our musical family ♥️

Manu Ela (@manuelamusica), the multifaceted artist from Chile, is a true creative force. She's not just a producer of electronic music, affectionately known as our "melody maker." She's also an educator, sharing the profound influence of music with young minds in schools. Moreover, she expresses herself as a visual artist and wields her magical touch to craft beautiful tattoos and ceramics. Beyond her artistic endeavors, she's a loving mother and a cherished friend who's been a part of our Berlin community for several years. 
In her set, she calls out the ideals of freedom and liberation, offering an ode to the strength of unity, especially in these challenging times. "Turn off the TV and turn on your intuition" is her mantra, a reminder that we greatly appreciate, Manu Ela.

We are immensely honored to have you as part of our musical family ♥

TRACK OF THE DAY: Marga Sol & Darles Flow - Say No More (Matías Delóngaro Organic Remix)[M-Sol DEEP]

◢SDH004.

} From A Coruscating Hope’s very first sputters of tapping percussion and crackling texture - Skegness, England based producer Dean Grant Collier, known as Grant Deane, weaves a web of hypnotic and mysterious dichotomy. It is a record draped in haze - both cloaked in nuanced and cloudy tones and somehow equally as illuminating and vivid. As the pieces gently unfurl there is a sense of wandering through the fantastic, though at 8 tracks and 46 minutes it is hardly a meander - nor is it brisk. A Coruscating Hope is ostensibly a minimal techno record, albeit one that lurches forward through muted IDM kissed soundscapes; but, it is brimming with life and motion. Taking inspiration from the minutiae of complex emotional scapes as well as brutalist architecture, Grant Deane’s shimmering productions map out an inner journey - a view from a train merging with the commuting occupants’ reflections. 

}} A Coruscating Hope’s tracks are meditations - tone poems where snippets of vocals and carefully assembled snaking synths wind beguilingly around jagged percussion interjections on liquid grooves. At times such as in “The Surfacing Dawn”, “Potential Energy” and say “Stuff Falling” the effect is a warm lull of synaptic agreement, chugging along with grace and poise. At others such as on “With Less of a Jolt Than We Were Braced For” and “Forever Wanting To Be Over There” the effect is more unstable, with dissonant tones mounting and swirling around the groove in a deftly manoeuvred balancing act - one in which the titles themselves give clever hints as to what is causing the mischief - whether they be implied anxiety or yearning.  In this way the record feels intensely personal, concise and yet expansive, moody and yet optimistic. 

}}} A Coruscating Hope, it might therefore be said, is a record poised at the crossroads of listening environment applications: there are a few moments for the adventurous dancefloor to be sure, but much of the record truly lies in a hypnagogic inner space…a soundtrack for contemplative rumination and self discovery.

"Muchas veces el mundo pareciera una distopía imaginada por Orwell. Y pareciera que cada vez nos alejamos más y más de aquella utopía en la que queremos convertir el mundo. El sonido de Daniel Hokum cae en la primera categoría, es un sonido oscuro y distópico, muchas veces abstracto y profundo. Conforme te adentras en su trabajo musical vas descubriendo un mundo de sonidos futuristas. Pero, si algo nos ha enseñado el mundo real es que no importa cuántas distopías y utopías podamos imaginar, PORQUE LA REALIDAD SIEMPRE SUPERA LA FICCIÓN, y de este modo el sonido de Hokum supera todo lo que puedas imaginar.

Disfruta de este viaje trascendental de cincuentaiocho minutos con treinta y seis segundos."

Capitŭlum XXVIII: Daniel Hokum | AKASHA MX

Some members from @Love-Foundation and @HugRecords are living together in the Sierra Estrella Mountain Range in Portugal, where we are rebuilding an old abandoned village, called Foz da Cova.

We have a little music studio here and sometimes we have befriended musicians coming by for a visit.

Sometimes these friends play music for us and sometimes we press the record button when they do so. 

This is the first of those times.

Our first Pod da Cova comes from @dorianfecht who spend November and December with us in the mountains. Dorian normally lives in Dresden, where he is part of Love Foundation and @Zirkulation. He will take you on a journey to this long forgotten place and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lyrics:
Hills. Trees. Farms. Cottages. Landscapes from dreams. Breathtaking dreams. Idyllic life in harmony with nature in whose bosom it flourished. It would take your breath away. East of Arganil in Portugal, Foz da Cova is its name. And that is where the fires came in 2017. The fires roared. People fled. There wasn't time to save much. In a span of days and weeks, there remained only memories of how life once was there. An almost arid landscape bears witness to the destruction. From this desolation and this devastation and this tragedy an energy breathed itself into a group of people who dared to imagine bringing the magic and the poetry of these lands back, to imagine life finding its way back here with a little help. A heterotopia. This is where I came, this is where I am, this is what I saw, this is what I felt. Sublimating boundaries. Erasing borders. Entwining narratives. Myth becoming real, reality becoming myth. There is beauty here. There is adventure here. And, there is hope. Immerse yourself in these landscapes, live for a moment with these people, dream a little for yourself and for them and for the world. A story whose beginning we know. A story being told. A story being lived. A story which is still coming into being. Foz da Cova is its name.

1st Pod Da Cova - Dorian Fecht

Ahoy folks -
La Barca is not only a physical space on Berlin waters but also a music lover club! Our world revolves around slowing down, hazy boundaries in melodies and rhythms, and fostering a sense of community.  

Welcome on board!
