🎵 Luft & Lube [ at ] ecstatic.cuties im GLASHAUS [ Live-Special ] 🎵

Recording date: 14.02.2025
 Venue: Im Glashaus (Botanischer Garten Marburg)
Event: ecstatic.cuties

Today we have some unknowns in our luggage, who captivated us with their sensual and very hypnotic sound. This is regularly a hybrid set with the addition of a Roland HD20, which is used at appropriate moments to create a special event.

We welcome the duo Luft & Lube from the tranquil city of Darmstadt. As part of the Slow Bar. Label, they have already rocked several venues. 

Attached as always our sweet interview:

<<<INTERVIEW>>>

✔️ What makes a good afterhour?
For us, what makes a good afterhour is that people let themselves be touched & that you can feel this fine atmosphere on the dancefloor, that dancing & living together is possible, that everything is allowed to be & that there is a connection beyond the wild party night, that this bound remains.

✔️ Any thoughts about the event and experiences during the gig?
Fauna rising!
What a wonderful night - like in a tale with fog, love, lots of special plants & flowers, mystic creatures, with water dripping from the glass, lights mirroring in the water, bass shaking the botanical greenhouse, lovely hugs & talks!

We were enchanted in a very unique & magical place - between plants, mist & various art. An evening like a dream. A very special space created by the lovely ecstatic cuties crew: Ecstatic energy on the dancefloor, admiring the exotic plants, workshops & ginger shots. A sober party where the focus was on experiencing together & getting in touch with each other. Amazement & letting go completely in dance. An invitation to experience an aware space & to live it up. We loved the atmosphere on the floor, the fiery, irrepressible energy of the dancing beings, to whom we had to play three encores... A profound experience for us that we won't soon forget. So wonderful, because the focus was not on consumption, but on togetherness, co-creation & art - that's how we love it.

The recording is a hybrid set, which allowed us to keep reigniting the fire & create moments where people were just screaming, whooping & joining in the music. Towards the middle of the set a lot of people started clapping along to the beat & at 1:03:00 there is a moment in the set when the music suddenly shuts down for a second - we did that so people could hear
themselves because they were clapping so loudly at that moment. It was a magical moment for everyone who was there! Can you catch the vibe?
Our impulse for the set (& at the same time our message in general:)
Go to a party sober, take good care of yourself & your loved ones & drink enough water!

Step into the immersive soundscape of maaje’s latest mix for BeYond – a sonic journey that invites you to move beyond the surface and into something deeper. Blending atmospheric textures with smooth, thoughtful transitions, Maaje crafts an experience that feels both expansive and deeply personal.

Each layer of sound unfolds with intention, drawing you into a space where time slows down and the mind begins to wander. It’s not just about listening – it’s about feeling, drifting, and exploring your own emotional landscape through sound.

This mix is perfect for late-night reflection, creative flow, or moments when you simply want to escape the noise of the everyday. With every beat, maaje offers a subtle invitation: to let go, tune in, and travel inward.

Enjoy.

The sun is blazing.
The ice cream café is already set up, complete with sun loungers and an extended weekend — the perfect setting to dive into the sweet, comforting sounds of our beloved PULLI.
We’re thrilled to share another striped episode of the podcast that makes our hearts beat faster and brings that faraway holiday feeling right into our here and now.

So get comfortable, slather on that sunscreen, sip your delicious summer drink, and let yourself drift away — with bass massages and melodies for the soul.

Striped #26 - PULLI

On an exceptionally sunny day in May, a man took his faithful dog for a walk in the countryside. Unlike other days, the dog was pulling his owner towards the nearby forest, which they had never visited before. 
After entering the woods, the man got overwhelmed by the serene and peaceful atmosphere. It even felt otherworldly. As they ventured deeper and deeper into the woods, they came across a bunch of animals which you would normally never see together : deer, foxes, rabbits, badgers... 
Strangely, all these animals were flocking together without the slightest sign of animosity and they all slowly walked into the same direction. The atmosphere was so peaceful that it even felt like a procession. 
Without hesitation the man and the dog joined the procession. The deeper they stepped into the forest, the more animals joined the procession and the more serene the atmosphere became.
Then the procession suddenly ground to a halt, on a little mound near the edge of a clearing. The man saw a pond in the glade, surrounded by wild spring flowers. This place felt like heaven on earth. 
Then something unusual happened. Two young women in long white dresses slowly strolled through the flower field. They stopped at the edge of the pond. One women was around 20 years of age and had long brown hair, while the other one was a 10-year old girl with shining blond hair.
The man got a bit ashamed and looked away. He is absolutely not a voyeur. Then an owl flew to a branch next to the man, and spoke with a soft voice : ‘it’s okay to look at this spectacle. They are two witches, Hekske and her apprentice Falke. They are going to perform a spring ceremony’.
Then a third woman entered the glad. She looked really old and had long grey hair and walked with a limp. The owl whispered ‘This is Quintine, she is 439 years old and she recently woke up from a 414 year long hibernation to escape from the persecutions of the 17th century.’  Meanwhile 2 other girls welcomed Quintine with a long hug.
A little later, the youngest witch lit up a fire with a floating spark which she launched with a gentle hand movement. They put a small cauldron on the fire and prepared some kind of brew, which – after cooling down – they all shared. This all happened in such an unhurried way that it made the man lose his sense of time.
After finishing their drink, the 3 witches went to the edge of the pool, where they shucked off their long white dresses. The man quickly looked away, but the owl reassured him and told him to keep on watching, as a very important part of the ceremony was about to happen.
The 2 young witches helped the elderly witch while they slowly waded deeper into the water. When the women were deep enough, they started to swim. Or rather : float on the water. This made some ripples on the mirror-like water surface. These ripples had a soothing and hypnotic effect on the man, his dog and all the animals around them. Even the birds had stopped singing, and the forest became completely quiet. There was even no wind. It was as if the earth had stopped turning.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the witches decided to get out of the water. With slow movements, they waded out of the pond. The animals who were watching from the mound got very excited at that moment. At first it wasn’t clear why, but after a while it dawned to the man that the elderly witch was able to walk independently. Even more astonishing, her grey hair had turned red. She barely looked 25 now. All the animals first looked in awe, until they all erupted in cheers : the badgers growled, the foxes screamed, the owls hooted and all the birds sang their most beautiful song. Also the dog barked from pure joy.
And this was only the start of a long celebration which would last until deep in the night.

A Voyage of Spirits by OrKatz ⚗ VOS 112

This month, our Striped Podcast comes wrapped in something truly special again: 
LASKÀ, our June artist – and birthday girl (!) – shares a set full of warmth, depth, and storytelling.

Her downtempo journey is a tender dance between honesty and atmosphere – playful, grounded, and glowing from within.
It feels like watching the sun go down barefoot, somewhere between dreams and dancefloor.

Before gracing the stage at this year’s Fusion Festival, she’s gracing our ears with this lovingly crafted mix.

Happy Birthday, LASKÀ – and thank you for this magical moment<3
