So let me tell you a story about this very spontaneous Fusion Set:
This year I was working at Sonnendeck and had some really funny, interesting and also stressful stageshifts with my beloved team from 3000Grad and Telekollegen. I loved it! Also because its important to me to take part in this very special festival-construct that Fusion is for me. I was a little sad, that I did not get booked (Everything else would have been a lie), because I wanted to play my new tracks so bad, especially "PoP"
Then it was Sunday morning and I got a textmessage by my friend Obi:

„Acid Pauli is playing your track right now“
Whaaaaaat?!?

Remember how I said I want this track „PoP“ to be played at fusion so bad? @acidpauli played it Sunday morning at one of the most huge stages: Palapa 😳  For real?!
Seriously this means the world to me! Especially this track #pissonpatriarchy 
it’s a hurtful fight to gain back self efficiency poured in a track ➡️ @mora_leipzig 
And the pain is turned into a huge crowd dancing!

I came to Fusion as a teenager, because I grew up in the area. I have been raving there every year since, when it took place and sometimes I even had the honour to play there myself in the last years. If someone would have told me, that my music will be played there one day by acts that I adore since decades on the hugest soundsystem, I would not have believed that. I am still crying over this.

Thank you Obi for this message! It was one of the few that came through. 
I planned to attend Acid Paulis gig, but I got caught in a good conversation with friends at the other side of the Acker. I was on my way to palapa and near dubstation when I got the message. And then I ran! While I ran, I did the math, if I can make it to palapa and still hear the rest of the track. What do you think? Did I make it?

Funfact: when @jpattersson started after Acid Pauli I got asked by @alma_linda and the Palapa Bar, if I wanted to play spontaneously there right after. Again: whaaaaaat?! I said yes, with a few Sonnendeck-stageshifts in my bones and greasy hair, not having showered since days, I ran to my tent to get my headphones and Dj-stuff (well I had it with me, you never know 😅), put on some dryshampoo, painted myself a face haha and played. And here we are: have fun with the recording of this very f*cking spontaneous Fusion Set :D
I played "PoP" myself (yeahyeahyeah!) and I also played the Remix of my track "Weiter" by @andys-echo and a track by my friends @propellar_music , because they were dancing right in front of me these sweetiebois. Later the four of us closed the firespace with "Herz an Herz" by Blümchen.... but that's another story to tell.... #ithappened

“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 down-and-mid-beat-comfortzone between 100-115 BPM on the dance-floors of the world or on the couch at home.”
