We welcome Aka-Tony for our seventh episode of NatureTempo.

Tony is a musical storyteller shaped by depth, not algorithms. Raised in Zurich and mentored early by his handicapped uncle - a passionate audiophile who taught him to listen long before he learned to play - Tony discovered the emotional architecture behind sound while other kids chased melodies.

What began as a quiet obsession turned into a lifelong pursuit of tension, release, and the frequencies between. As an aficionado of underground culture, aka-Tony avoids the obvious. His sets are sculpted narratives—textural, cerebral, raw—spanning dubby margins, broken rhythms, and hypnotic progressions that reward the deep listener and the relentless dancer alike.

No gimmicks, no crowd-pleasing shortcuts. Just rare grooves, long blends, and a precise sense of timing that comes only from years in the booth and countless nights immersed in sonic detail.

Playing regularly across Zurich and Berlin, and hosting two podcast series, aka-Tony is part of a quiet resistance in electronic music—where taste still matters, and curation is a form of care.

'NatureTempo' Podcast 007 - Aka-Tony

Playing at Garbicz was a big dream I've had since my the first time I attended it back in 2019. So there was so much fiery yet patient passion in me lounging to be expressed in this debut set. At the same time, I have felt the collective burden SO much given all the unacceptable atrocities going on in many places in the world...

A lesson my therapist has helped me to navigate it: the price we pay for suppressing a certain emotion is that we end up suppressing ALL of our emotions.

Let that sink in for a moment...

The joy I felt was not "despite" everything happening in the world, but rather In Acknowledgement and Recognition of it, with all the emotions it evokes. It was the only way I found to honor the blessing of living this dream authentically. That’s why this became one of my most powerful sets.

Nina Simone once said: “An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.” And this set truly did! It was a proper blast with many of my favorite tracks AND, at the same time, a prayer filled with powerful messages and (indigenous) wisdom to guide us through the times we are living.

Thank you to Garbicz for having me, especially to @lichtung_garbicz and to everything it Stands for. Also big gratitude to every friend and dancer who waited through delays, woke up early, or stepped out of their tents to join me at @alisteebar. Your fiery energy is woven into the recording 🔥 And to those who shed tears during or after — I feel you. I cried twice while preparing this set myself.

May it uplift us to meet the responsibility that comes with privileges. May it remind us of the power of our daily choices. May it spark peace, unity, and positive change in a fractured world. Because we are truly strong only when we stand together! And I deeply believe in the connective Power of Music to help us get there 🫶🏼

A Sunrise at Garbicz Festival 2025 - Lichtung

New core memory unlocked! That birthday was amazing, especially dancing with you at Hive's Tanzstube. My heart still feels so full when I think about it, and I even get a little teary when I hear your birthday song. Huge thanks to the amazing artists and their beautiful sound and to Matija, without whom none of this would’ve happened. Lots of Love, Lara

Recently in Scuol, Switzerland - I played this set for my dear friends from ZirkelZ on a sunny afternoon. Nothing beats playing outdoors surrounded by a beautiful mountain scenery and a gang full of big hearts. Hope this brings back memories or creates new ones. 
Thank you Zagara and ZirkelZ Crew for having me - ❤️

While the leaves are changing their colour and autumn has already arrived, we present you the set from our dear friend @FabianKrooss, who brings back summer feelings. 🌞
Fabian is taking us on a journey to south italy on the beautiful island of Sicily. Here he performed at the Luna Nuova Festival. 
Lots of Amore, warme tones, a soft Mediterranean breeze and exactly the drive we need in these cold days. 🦞
Get your Limoncello or Espresso and enjoy this wonderful sound. 🍋
Fabian is part of @stilvortalent, @thegardensofbabylon, @kotori-berlin and of course @rebelliondertraumer. 

🌱 What’s the most important piece of advice you would give your younger self?
Oh, that’s a good one. I’d probably say: trust your instincts and really listen to what your gut is telling you. And I mean really listen, especially when it comes to big life decisions. There are moments when logic won’t give you the answers you need — but your intuition usually knows the way.

🫣 Is there a city or place you’re eager to visit in the future, and why?
There are so many! I absolutely love traveling, and I’ve been lucky to explore some incredible places over the past few years — but the list of where I still want to go just keeps growing. I’d love to dive deeper into parts of Africa, South America, and Asia I haven’t seen yet. But honestly, it’s hard to name just one spot. The world has so much to offer, and I can’t wait to keep discovering it all, even more so with my music :)

🎤If you could speak any language fluently, which one would you choose and why?
Definitely Spanish. Apart from English, it’s the one language that really connects you to so many parts of the world. I’ve played quite a few shows in Mexico lately, and every time I’m there, I wish I spoke it better. Guess it’s about time I change that :)
