So, I hear the upload of a @kater_blau -Debut often comes with a bit of a background story. So, here’s mine and be aware, it's going to be kick-you-in the-crotch-spit-you-in-the-neck soppy-sentimental: 

If someone had told me two years ago that I would play a show at my favourite nightclub in Berlin, I’d probably have declared them to be out of their mind. When the big night had finally come, I felt like embarking upon one of the scariest dares in my life. However, I miraculously managed to put all of my anxieties into a box right before the show, and instead enjoyed playing it tremendously - smiling, singing & dancing with everyone else. 

Of course, it went far from perfect. After my set, I realised that I had accidentally stopped the recording somewhere in the middle without even noticing, - probably with one of my clumsy dance moves. 😅 But I sure had a blast. In an attempt to recreate the magic, I recorded the set again, hoping, you'll still enjoy listening to it.

1000 times THANKS to some of my oldest & newest friends for the support that night. But above all, CHEERS to the best crowd I could've imagined! This was the best early birthday present EVER & I can't wait to be back! 💜

P.S.: Big thanks to @ueberhaupt_ausserdem for helping me with the mastering & for creating this well-tempered listening experience! 
Also, thanks to my lovely friends & team mates, who couldn't be there, but shared some soothing words with me before the gig & my excitement after - I'm so lucky to have you!!!

Play date: 18.02.2023

Playing Fusion has always been a dream since I started making electronic music ten years ago. I can't say anything else than thank you to MaKa for inviting me to this b2b, thank you to the whole Extravaganza crew for building this amazing floor and just being so nice and heartwarming, and lastly but foremost thank you to all our friends standing in the first row, supporting us by smiling on us as wide as they could. <3<3<3

Wenn gemeinsam Träume wahr werden... Was ein Festival, was eine Insel, was ne Crew, was ne Crowd und was ein morgen! Da ich mich erst vor 2 Jahren auf den Events der @mystic-tales-berlin in Downtempo verliebt habe, war es schon ultra schön zu hören, dass die Mystics uns vom BeYond Kollektiv dabei haben wollten um ihre schöne Insel in Polen in eine zauberhafte Parallelwelt zu verwandeln✨. Dass @thisisrakaethe und ich dann auch noch den Mainfloor für @hhaller einheizen durften war ein einziges Träumchen. Nur schön und unfassbar aufregend die eigenen Lieblingstracks und die ersten eigenen Produktionen auf so einer Anlage zu betanzen.  Und wieviele Lieblingsmenschen mit uns in der Hitze breit grinsend sich wild tanzend in der Musik verloren haben werde ich literally nie vergessen. Wir können die nächsten gemeinsamen Abenteuer kaum abwarten🚀

Dickes fettes Dankeschön an die @mystic-tales-berlin die für so viele Menschen in Polen Träume haben wahr werden lassen. Nur Liebe an @beyondcollectiveberlin für den traumhaften Familienausflug nach Polen💜
Und Merci fürs knallige Mastering @kollektivsheesh

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨


When dreams come true together... What a festival, what an island, what a crew, what a crowd and what a morning!  Since I fell in love with downtempo only 2 years ago at the Mystics events, it was super special to hear that the Mystics wanted us from the BeYond collective there to turn their beautiful island into a magical parallel world. That @thisisrakaethe  and I were booked to heat up the mainfloor for @hhaller was literally a dream come true. Just beautiful and incredibly exciting to dance to your own favorite tracks and your first own productions on such a sound system.  And I will literally never forget how many of our favorite people lost themselves in the music, smiling brightly and dancing wildly in the heat. We can hardly wait for the next adventures together.
Big big thank you to the @mystic-tales-berlin who made dreams come true for so many people in Poland. Only love to @beyondcollectiveberlin for the dreamlike family trip on this mystical island.
And Merci for the bangin mastering @kollektivsheesh

What a way to kick off the new year! 

Since my last recording from Kater Blau  a "Haufen Wasser ist die Lahn runtergelaufen" as we say in my hometown. Over 50k plays (thank you! 🐈‍⬛)  and so many beautiful gigs later its time for a sequel! 🌈

Last sunday morning at 9 I was welcomed by the most colorful gang of cats. @2girls1club firing up the Acid Bogen with there best selected House Music I had the privilege to take over the flauschiest crowd. 

It's always such a big privilege to play these Berlin mornings. The happy, slightly high faces, the frizzling tension in the air, bodies moving, touching each other, laughing, kissing and living together to the fullest. How it is supposed to be. I'm so thankful for the trust all of you guys set in me over and over again! 😌🙏

Thanks for the beautiful compliments afterwards that make me come up with the title: "das hat gehallert" to "ordentlich das Geweih verhallert" bis zu "vom Haller feinsten". You're just amazing! ✨🫶

Enjoy listening and as always feel free to like, comment, repost & share. I'm eager to know your oppinion and happy about your support! 😌

See you soon on the Dance Floor

This is a very late tribute to the 2023, long after the days of this past memorable year are numbered. Maybe, it took so long for me to upload this set because I was busy, maybe because it was harder to say goodbye than expected. To finally do so, I would like to share this recording with you guys, which was played at @suedpol-hamburg on Dec. 16th. 2023. "Trio Infernale" refers to my two very dear friends and me, who accompanied me.

Being one of the first electronic night clubs, I have ever visited, it means the world to me that I got the opportunity to debut in the holy halls of Südpol in 2023. THANK YOU so much for the invitation!!! For me, this venue has somehow managed to not only maintain its attraction to a vibrant & colorful crowd, but thereby also its unique vibe, I fell in love with years ago. 

About last year:
Let’s be honest... I didn’t feel too nostalgic about 2023 coming to an end since it has been a non-stop freaking hassle, - serving challenge after challenge with little to no time for rest & recreation. 

It was the year, I found myself struggling at various tasks/ areas in life, leaving me to feel lonely & insecure at times. It‘s been the year, my organization skills oscillated between catastrophic & respectable, resulting in me finally achieving an additional degree, a lifelong appointment in my academic career & taking over new responsibilities for my @afterhour-sounds family.
It was the year, I got the chance to debut at Fusion & Fiasco Festival, Kater Blau & Mensch Meier, I travelled to Jordan & Oslo, only to name a few amazing venues/ places, I‘ve been lucky enough to visit/ perform at. 
It’s was the year, I spend 316 hours on trains or /and got stranded somehere on the way. And finally, it was the year of goodbyes & new beginnings, of leaving my old home & stumbling upon a new one - shattering my future plans to make room for new adventures. 

Though, that’s okay because DJing, or music in general, is remaining the one passion in my life, that will always be there, in which I find comfort whenever it’s needed & that nobody can take away from me. But equally important is that this love has lead me to (re-)meet inspiring people, old & new ones, many of which have remained or grown close friends. 

So, thanks to all my dearest companions for your love, support & patience with me - I can’t wait to embark on the Expedition 2024, hopefully at some point towards Südpol again 🔬💥🔭

Thanks to @bisu-andyou for the skilled mastering.

🚀 This is a Fusion Festival 2024-Judith van Waterkant-Set at Sonnendeck 🚀

The day has finally come. I've been talking for a while about wanting to learn how to mix, but I never had the motivation to do it at home. Playing at Kiezburn (an event based on the principles of Burning Man) seemed like the perfect occasion for my first official set. I felt extremely stressed and anxious about this spontaneous decision, knowing I only had a handful days of practice. Despite my fears, I felt calm and confident from the very first track and absolutely loved the experience.

So here it is: I played the closing set on Friday night (2-4am) after Temple Tears on the beautiful Musotopia stage.

Thank you to all the lovely dancers and to Temple Tears for your support ❤️


Enjoy the journey :)

Forgetti Regretti und Bene Link haben bei der Klangtherapie einen musikalischen Fischschwarm losgelassen und den Floor vom Landfunk Kollektiv ordentlich zum Blubbern gebracht. Doch während die beiden das Unterwasserchaos entfesselten, bleibt eine Frage offen: Hat Bikersmike endlich seine Küche bekommen? Die Antwort darauf und die volle Ladung Klangflossen findet ihr hier!
