Covid-19 and its consequences are keeping the whole world on alert. For more than a year now, we have been seeing new waves of outbreaks in several countries and regions of the world. In this sense, 500 million indigenous people, in urban or rural areas of the planet are also at risk because of their social vulnerability. The risk of indigenous genocide in the midst of the pandemic is dizzying and can have serious consequences since viruses and diseases of this type have contributed to reducing the world's indigenous population over the centuries.

Thus, several podcast channels have joined forces to celebrate 'International Indigenous Peoples' Day'. This with a focus on donations for indigenous peoples affected by Covid-19 in Brazil led and managed by 'United for a Living Amazon', a volunteer movement made up of citizens and non-governmental organizations that have been working in the Amazon for decades, united for a common and urgent cause.

Dia do Indio - Judith van Waterkant & Pokka

Moini,

this is my waterkant summer tape 2021 for you! Perfect to start a vacation (or a homeofficeday or a bike ride or day drinking or whatever).
I just recorded it the night before I am leaving for my beloved Baltic Sea to finally see my family and friends again and prepare for a few festivals, who would have thought that! "Der Sommer kann ganz gut werden!"

By the way: by now I was also able to finally play "Traumtelefon", you might remember from my first quarantine tape. Well and since I played it for the first time, the corona 7 day incidence is falling and falling in this area. Just a sidenote, not sure about the coherences...
But I am full of confidence now and I am not afraid to play hits hits hits!

You have a great summer I hope!
Be good to each other.

Love from my little livingroom-homestudio in Leipzig!

The design is again by my best friend Sarah. Thank you for this. I love you.

Waterkant Summer Tape 2021

Judith van Waterkant & Herman T. - Baltique (Original Mix)

Heimlich V

Baltique

Dear Nation of Gondwana,

this is my Seefloor-Opening-Set for you!
I had the time of my life in the booth! After such a long time I was allowed to play for a festivalcrowd again - such a lovely one as well <3
I can hear you cheer, I can hear you talk and "schnatter", I can hear you being happy, because we are finally back together after this shitty isolated time. 
I missed you so much!

The last 45 minutes I burned all the closingtracks, because I did not know how long Lola, who played after me, will be stuck in traffic. So here we go: burn with me Nation :)

And what closing track makes more sense than the safety dance these days?
It was perfect.

Closing my eyes now and keeping the memories,
Judith

Nation Of Gondwana 2021 - Milan - Seefloor Opening Judith van Waterkant

Olli Schulz hat mich auf dem 3000Grad besucht! Hier gehts zur Doku: https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/Sound-of-Germany-mit-Olli-Schulz-Spass-S01-E03,soundofgermany162.html

Ok wow, what a great weekend this has been: The 10th 3000Grad Festival! 
And here is my live recording for you!

This has been one of the greatest festivals I have been to. I mean it. Because it took place in the summer of 2021!
(3021 excuse me) Aaaaaand: This MeckPomm-area is my home and this crew is my home now and I am so thankful for that! I had the honor to open the Utopia stage. What a nice picture to see this place empty and then getting crowded to the slowravesound.

Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible!


A little story: I also played another set at the ship with my friend Neele Charon: trash at its best just like queens! And if someone asks me: what did you do for the first time this year? The answer is: stagediving without expecting it! To our last track! I saw that Oberst&Buchner were talking to me, their mouths were moving, but I did not understand a word. Seems like I was nodding fully wasted and the next thing I know is I am getting “tossed” up in the air and doing my first stagedive ever  I was screaming, because I was so happy!

This is not a Fusion-Set,  but this is a lovesong! This is uploaded with dusty hands and a sore throat after Fusionfestival anyways, because I finally can! HA! This is inspired by @dwig ;) - HALLO DWIG HALLO! - who I was playing along with, next to @WIDE-AWAKE-8, @thorrixon and @jaschahagen at the @lautundluise Showcase at So&So in June. Thank you @tobi-h-ttner for the lovely artistcare and that you didn't stop listening when I told you for the 68th time, that I might have to use the bathroom soon during my set..... and I never did.... maybe it was just too hot. Ask me for further information.

Oooooh and please pay attention to min 2:02:30! This is the new release from @ninzeokaxy out now! You can hear me whisper important messages.... far away from a deep male "house muuuuusic is the message! praaaayyyyyy!" (...)

This is not a Fusion-Set - This is Judith van Waterkant for Laut & Luise @ So&So June 2018

Moin Moin!

So this crazy thing happened: I played at Burning Man! Back in Germany when @okaxy told me, that I have the opportunity to play there, I thought, that I will finally realize this, when I find myself in the middle of the desert fighting with a sandstorm to an average of 110 BPM. But to be honest, I still don't get it, even though I did find myself in the middle of the desert fighting with a sandstorm...
... and I spelled it "Dessert" so often, that I want icecream every single time..... "You scream, I scream, Everybody wants ice-cream!"

So this is my recording of my set for Funky Town, which makes this experience a little bit more real when listening to it. It did happen ! 

Thank you for inviting me Funky Townwers! <3
Thank you for the picture @monolink
Thank you for showing me your world @mira_kater
Thank you for believing in me @okaxy

sound(ge)cloud 117 Fusion-Special by Frida Darko (https://soundcloud.com/frida-darko) & Judith van Waterkant (https://soundcloud.com/lady-youdid) – für die Freiheit der Kunst

Damit die Fusion 2019 gerade in diesem Moment stattfinden kann,  musste der Kulturkosmos und auch wir alle ganz schön kämpfen. Doch für „Die Freiheit der Kunst“ lohnt es sich einmal mehr aufzustehen und seine Stimme zu erheben … denn wir wollen uns unsere Kunst und Utopien nicht wegnehmen lassen.

Den Termin für diesen Podcast haben wir schon länger ausgemacht und er ist ganz zufällig auf den Fusion Termin gefallen. Als Frida und Judith mir dann den Mix geschickt haben, meinten sie „Da er zur Fusion raus kommt, haben wir uns ne kleine Sache überlegt und so eine Art "Fusion Special" gemacht (mit kleinen Pressekonferenz schnipseln am Anfang und Ende).“ Und weil die Fusion 2019 schon jetzt etwas ganz spezielles ist … wurde es auch hier ein Special. DANKE FUSION … Danke Kulturkosmos … Danke Fridi und Judi <3

Allen Fusionisten wünsch ich eine umwerfende und zauberhafte Fusion mit viel Freiheit und Kunst. Und meinen Hörer und allen die nicht auf die Fusion fahren hier nun eine wunderbare Stunde mit Frida und Judith.

So here is my wavy seagull-sunrise-sauna-set I played at Fusion!
Thank you for dancing with me through a magical sunrise at my favorite festival, where I grew up! This McPomm-area is my home. Most of you know, that this really really meant a lot to me. Did I say that it reallyreallyreally meant a lot to me?! Sigh!
Sorry for everyone who did not get in, I really wished you would have been by my side and I hope this recording is a little comfort.

Oh Funfact: This set is a Fusion-Set hahaha! 
Ein Aufguss aus Freudentränen für die Sauna. There is no word for "Aufguss" in english is there?
So go get naked and hot and listen ;)
Thank youuuuuuuu <3

PS: Ahoi my friends: I love you! Bunches!
Always, I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love

We have our really good friend, Judith Van Waterkant, putting together a special mix to mark the end of summer. Here is what Judith had to say about this lovely mix herself: 
"It is a bit melancholic, because my theme is to say Goodbye to summer with my friends. You hear some impressions of their summer. So you can listen to lovely German people speaking English 🙂 And maybe the listeners will get comfy and reflect their summer too while listening to the music I picked. That is my romantic thought about it. There is also a very fresh unreleased remix for Manski by Harro Triptrap with my vocals in it."

➤ About:
Judith van Waterkant was born in the beautiful Baltic sea area and crashed into her fathers vinyl collection in a glass vitrine while dancing along with the record ‘life is life’ at the tender age of 3. "Nananananaaa"
Since then she’s not only gained a couple dangerous looking scars, which would be visible if she shaved her head, and gotten prepared to join in with the fights in the streets of Rostock, she’s also kept her deep passion of music with her, always on her mind.
At the age of 14, she had a crush on her guitar teacher and has deeply loved music since that time ,from every pore of her skin, which became even clearer to her later when she found herself in a massage circle where everybody was humming “Give Peace a Chance” in order to alleviate the difficulties and challenges of puberty. However, no one was supposed to find out about that.
“If I die today, I’ll die happy” was her boozy attitude back then. It’s exactly this spirit that the Leipziger-by-choice tried to convey in her so-called Mindset-Sets, in a down-beat-comfortzone between 90-115 BPM on the dance-floors of the world or on the couch at home. And when that doesn’t work out, which seems pretty improbable, then at least on an Instagram hashtag.

Judith van Waterkant (@lady-youdid) presents „Loveletters To The Baltic Sea“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.181

„Wenn ich sage, das hier ist der Podcast meines Lebens, dann meine ich das auch ganz pathetisch so. Denn der Ort, wo ich herkomme - Rostock - der hat mich sehr geprägt. 
Seit über einem Jahr sammelte ich Tracks und Tonspuren von zuhause dafür und habe immer wieder arrangiert. 
Ich habe allein vier Hafenrundfahrten mitgeschnitten. 

Das hier sind also meine „Loveletters to the Baltic Sea“
Die vertretenen Künstler*innen kommen alle aus dem Ostseeraum Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Mit einigen bin ich aufgewachsen, andere habe während meines Studiums kennengelernt, 
mit einigen habe ich mich übers Auflegen und Musik machen angefreundet, ein paar Bekanntschaften, 
andere wissen gar nix von mir und sind vielleicht überrascht, dass sie hier auftauchen. 
Ein Track ist auch ganz frisch von der Insel Rügen von Harro Triptrap feat. Judith van Waterkant. Yeah!
Der Podcast ist eine biographische Reise durch ein oft vergessenes, dünn besiedeltes Bundesland mit hoher Arbeitslosigkeit und dem größten Alkohol-pro-Kopf-Verbrauch der Republik (isso!), dessen größte Schönheit die Natur ist und wo ich eine wunderbare Kindheit verbracht habe.

Aber die Straßen waren schon öfter rough. 
Früh musste man sich hier als Jugendliche politisieren ohne überhaupt richtig verstanden zu haben, um was es eigentlich genau geht.
Früh wurde man gefragt „Bist du links oder rechts“ und mir wurde von älteren Freunden gesagt, dass ich links sagen soll und dann soll ich schnell rennen.
Denn manchmal bekam man dafür auf die Fresse. 
Neonazis mit Springerstiefeln gehörten in den Neunzigern ganz normal zum Stadtbild und ich will nicht wissen wieviele Kilometer Umwege ich damals genommen habe um denen nicht zu begegnen.
Umso mehr konnte man dann die Orte und Clubs wertschätzen, in welchen man sich frei bewegen konnte, wie das Jaz, die Stubnitz, welche mittlerweile im Hamburger Hafen liegt, oder die Fusion. 
Ich bin dankbar für alle Menschen, die solche Orte in der Region geschaffen und die diese mit ihrer Kunst lebendig gemacht haben und so Alternativen für Jugendliche zu „gelangweilt an der Bushaltestelle saufen“ gaben. Wie man richtig feiert und dabei aufeinander Acht gibt, habe ich früh gelernt.
Natürlich haben wir uns auch mal aufs Maul gelegt, aber wie oft tat mein Gesicht eher vom Lachen weh.

Was ich aus vollem Herzen sagen kann: diese Region wird immer mein zuhause sein, egal wo ich wohne. 
Ich bin schon öfter ein lauter und impulsiver Mensch, aber wenn mich eines zur Ruhe und Besonnenheit bringt, dann ist es die Ostsee.
Ich muss regelmäßig auf sie raufstarren und manchmal reinrennen, das macht mich glücklich und pegelt mich wieder ein.
Es ist schön zu wissen, dass meine Familie und Freunde mich dort immer mit offenen Armen und Wärme empfangen. 
Danke, dass es euch gibt!“

Judith van Waterkant presents „Loveletters To The Baltic Sea“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.181

Last year I got invited to create a podcast for "From Halle With Love". This wonderful series now came to an end. I still like my journey from Rostock to Leipzig to Halle, which is why I uploaded the poddi here with my account again. 
Enjoy the train ride and a little melancholy of the sea and goodbyes. 

Thank you "From Halle With Love", you will be missed.

Und Tu be honest: I am not done yet.
Was ist ein Keks unterm Baum?
Ein schattiges Plätzchen.

SOS U.Ground: Tu be or not Tu be – Judith van Waterkant aus der Tube

This is my Quarantine-Tape for you that I recorded at home. Listen to it and be with your close ones, sort through your stuff, think about what you want to say goodbye to and what you want to say hello to in this special time: a time of change.  Think about the people around you and be safe. Slow down.
Be good to each other. 

Love from my livingroom in Leipzig!

Waterkant Quarantine Tape 2020

Tomorrow at dawn, when the countryside whitens,
I will leave. You see, I know you’re waiting for me.
I will go through the forests, I will go by the mountain.
I cannot stay away from you any longer.
 
I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Not seeing anything outside, not hearing any noise,
Alone, unknown, back bent, hands crossed,
Sad, and the day for me will be like the night.
 
I will not look at the gold evening falling,
Nor at the far off boats sailing towards Harfleur,
And when I arrive, I will put on your grave
A bunch of green holly and heather in bloom.

Meier‘s Home Office #1 - Judith van Waterkant b2b El Batos

🙏 Spendenaufruf --- Decolonize Corona Solidarity 1.0 🙏
https://www.betterplace.me/decolonize-corona-solidarity-zehn
 
Moini Uwe,
das ist also mein zweites Quarantäne-Tape, welches meine Auf- und Ab-Stimmung dieser Tage einfängt. Ich schwanke jeden Tag irgendwo zwischen dystopischer Endzeitstimmung und der Sorge bzgl. politischer Entwicklungen der EU und hier im Land und hippieeskem Optimismus bzgl. der Chance auf eine solidarischere Gesellschaft und der positiven Auswirkungen der Entschleunigung. Aber drüber oder drunter bin ich auch…: „Roll with the punches, when nothing goes your way.“

Wir rücken zusammen indem wir Abstand voneinander nehmen und isolieren uns, um zu helfen. Dieses Paradoxon muss ich immer noch jeden Morgen verarbeiten, wenn ich aufwache. Und ich muss verarbeiten, dass das, was ich mit Leidenschaft und Liebe tat, nämlich Musik zu machen für ein Publikum, nicht mehr geht und vielleicht nicht mehr in der Form gehen wird wie ich es kenne, weil nicht alle diese Krise wirtschaftlich überstehen werden. Innerhalb von zwei Tagen habe ich alle Jobs im Kultur- und Bildungsbereich verloren. Ich saß in unserem Atelier in Leipzig als ich eigentlich zum Geburtstag vom Mensch Meier in Berlin spielen sollte und habe den ersten Schock mit Rum betäubt. Dort begriff ich später beim Reden, dass ich nicht nur Existenzängste habe, wie ich mich nun finanzieren soll, sondern mir wurde schmerzhaft klar, dass das auch meine Identität ist, die ich zu einem großen Stück verliere. Ich habe all das mit Passion und Überzeugung getan, weil ich darin für mich einen Sinn sehe und auch andere diesen sehen. Ich habe darüber so bitterlich geweint als ich das zum ersten Mal begriffen habe und konnte nicht in den Arm genommen werden von meinen Freunden, die am anderen Ende des Raumes saßen, weil wir da schon großen Abstand hielten. Ich konnte nur mein Gesicht in meinen Händen vergraben und sie mit überforderten Stimmen sagen hören, dass sie für mich da sind, dass wir füreinander da sind. Das betrifft hier viele von uns.

Wir müssen nun die Orte, die ein Zuhause für die Kunst sind, retten. Eine Crowdfunding-Kampagne reiht sich an die andere, ein Appell an die Politik an das nächste: zu handeln, finanziell zu unterstützen. Da müssen wir laut sein. Wir müssen vermitteln, dass die Kunst, Freiräume und Kulturstätten „rettungswürdig“ genug sind. So wie die Banken damals (…). Inzwischen hat bei mir die Wut die Angst abgelöst, weil ich noch nicht sehe, wie die Politik die Kulturszene und uns als freischaffende Künstler*innen gut unterstützt, zumindest hier in der Region. Die schillernden Schlagzeilen der unkomplizierten Soforthilfe durch den großzügigen Bund decken sich derzeit nicht mit meinen Erfahrungen der letzten Tage. Bei mir kommt diese publikumswirksam versprochene Unterstützung nach vielen bürokratischen Hürden nicht an. Ich habe so gerade nicht das Gefühl wertvoll für diese Gesellschaft zu sein. Und doch: Die meisten verbringen ihre Quarantäne bewusst oder unbewusst mit Kunst: Musik, Literatur, Film und und und. Ich hoffe, dass viele genau diesen Bezug mit der Zeit herstellen können: dass dieser kreative Output aus den Orten und den Menschen, die sie mit Kunst füllen, entspringt und diese sind nun auf Unterstützung und Solidarität angewiesen. Wir sind wertvoll.

Und manchmal wird es ganz leise in meinem Kopf. Weil ich mich allein fühle, weil ich meine Lieben vermisse, weil ich Sehnsucht habe. Ich weiß sie sind irgendwie bei mir. Ich visualisiere dann das Meer. Das beruhigt mich.

Die Welt hat uns auf unsere Zimmer geschickt und wir sollen darüber nachdenken, was wir getan haben die letzten Jahrzehnte. Lasst uns nachdenken und verändern.

Wilde Möhre ________ ?(acht Buchstaben)

Festival - my love – this year you were almost gone, you seem so far away, we don’t even know your name anymore…

“Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?”

Dance with distance is the answer. “Festival ist die Lösung”
Thank you, you with Abstand best lovely crowd Sunday morning at Wilde Möhre! I loved the vibe and this Set. Mit Abstand das beste ;)

See here a selfie-puzzle of me and my friends.

Milde Möhre 2020, Best Sunday – mit A b s t a n d - and Judith van Waterkant

🍁 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐩𝐞 🍁

I remember one autumn in my life, which was really hard and emotional, because I was far away from home in a foreign country and I did not have time enough to build close relationships with people there, when I lost a friend back home. I was with myself, with the grief in a small room, listening to a lot of music, which had to comfort me instead of a real person, because I was not in the state to really open up to someone there. I was thinking about my friend, that I will never see again, thinking about what I would have done differently, if I would have known, what there was to come, how I would have said goodbye properly, because I didn’t.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬 is a lonely one too. A different one for the most of us due to the pandemic, the political developments all over the world, the fear of losing important protagonists and places of cultural life, which are essential for a democracy. There are so many conflicts in society soaking up the vacuum right now. 

𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟵𝘁𝗵 after a long walk through my neighborhood and lightening candles to remember this historical date. While I did this, there was another protest going on by right winged people, neonazis and corona deniers not far away from where I live. It was the fourth day of protest and violence in my hometown Leipzig. These last days made me and my close ones shake, because we are in fear for a not peaceful future and for our democracy. 
November 9th is, as I said, a historical date. That day Nazi Germany burned down synagogues in 1938 in the Reichspogromnacht. People were watching or looking away or even took part in it, when their Jewish neighbors got deported and killed and their homes and stores got destroyed. This happened in our streets here. The Stolpersteine tell the story about it. 

It happened, so it can happen again. For me it never felt so close like it does now. I am crying while writing this.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵.

Also the German wall fell on November 9th in 1989. The country I was born in, did not exist anymore shortly after this. West and East Germany got reunited. But Germany still feels so divided, even after 31 years, even if the map tells something else. 

All this history and guilt is in us. Most of our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents experienced all this. It is part of us and our culture.

𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁.

After the incidents of the last days, this is more important than ever.

I am trying to be positive. I really do. But sometimes in nights like this, it is just hard.
We are in a middle of a pandemic. We are trying to keep track, we are online too much, we are trying not to get lost, we are missing our families and friends we cannot be with due to the lockdown.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿!

There is a lot of going on in this complex world and my mind is spinning. And like back then, when I was in pain when I lost my friend, I listen to the music that comforts me and I want to share it with you. So I made a spinning sound collage of this November with the themes, that were moving me and I picked some music from back then, when I felt very lonely and some music I used to listen to with my friend in the earlier days, some newer up lightening and melancholic stuff 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱, 𝗯𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗧. 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 about where a part of my heart is and will always be – at home at the “Baltique”. 

This is a map to guide you and me a little through this era with an "Autumn Waterkant Quarantine Tape" for mellow.

Judith Van Waterkant & Herman T. - Baltique (Original Mix)

Lockdown-World! We are living in a Lockdown-World!

It is 2020! It is Streamcember! Let me seeeeee your hands up in the air!!!!

So @mytripismytrip invited me to their studio long time agoooooo after they had this great spontaneous b2b meetup with Nixe (@ju_nixe) for New Years (This era of time, where people gave each other hugs…. HUGS!!!! *leaves the stage sobbing*). 
It finally happened just a few days before the second lockdown: we teamed up with our favorite toys to create an improvised hybrid live set on twitch. I love us for having this deep trust in each other that this will work and try out new things live for other people to watch! 
It worked out fine with just a few first-step-struggles, that were brushed away with some Sekt. Sekt for all of us hahaha!

So here is our live-recording from our first-ever-session! There is more to come for sure!

Thank you to the 60 live viewers and the 19 viewers that did not leave the stream for another hour even if there was no music anymore…. We hope you are ok and woke up again?

Love, Ellen, Eric and Judith

“Judith van Waterkant was born in the beautiful baltic sea area and crashed into her fathers vinyl collection in a glas vitrine while dancing along with the record "Life is Life" at the tender age of 3. "Nananananaaa"!
Since then she’s not only gained a couple dangerous looking scars, which would be visible if she shaved her head, and gotten prepared to join in with the fights in the streets of Rostock, she’s also kept her deep passion of music with her, always on her mind. At the age of 14, she had a crush on her guitar teacher and has deeply loved music since that time, from every pore of her skin, which became even clearer to her later when she found herself in a massage circle where everybody was humming “Give Peace a Chance” in order to alleviate the difficulties and challenges of puberty. However, no one was supposed to find out about that. “If I die today, I’ll die happy” was her boozy attitude back then. It’s exactly this spirit that the Leipziger-by-choice tried to convey in her so-called Mindset-Sets, in a downbeat-comfortzone between 90-115 BPM on the dance-floors of the world or on the couch at home.”
