The rāga saga is a series that acts as a cultural collectiva of our favourite artists from all over, Each raga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs, considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to "colour the mind" and affect the emotions of the audience and this journey (raga) comes from a very good friend and deeply talented a musician @toulousemusique who also runs this wonderful label @ltdwlbl

Meet Nicolai: a musical soulmate that shares an enormous passion for sophisticated electronic music
This mix is a fine journey through elegant string pieces, tidy basslines, hypnotic chants, top-notch hi hats, deep atmospheres and… well, listen for yourself.

Our friend is also a strong human being that had an accident and recovered through music, what we mean is he started to work on his record label „Ltd, W/Lbl“ (Limited White Label) and an EP from the hospital. Music is surely a healer.

He focuses mainly on slow emotional tracks with jazz, classical and ethnic touches. He’s worked with artists and labels on his first vinyl release that reissued 4 digital tracks. Make sure to follow his label for new unreleased material.

About the mix:

Of course, I'm always happy when I get to start a new podcast series. This mix falls in a time in which Covid conditionally here again many things become possible. Live music may be played again. That's why I gave this mix the working title back together again. At the same time the name of the last song. A homage to my loyal followers who are now allowed to be reunited with me at the places where I play live. How nice.

Sukhmanee live in an island in the South of Thailand called Koh Phanghan and inspire others to improve their health & vibrations using different healing modalities.  Creating musical journeys, using naturopathy, nutrition and lifestyle suggestions through encompassing astrology.
The mixtape was inspirated by the feeling and envisioning of the self, on a journey through the waters, experiencing different cultures and flavors, that can be felt from the instruments.   
In her words: "This was a live mix recorded in my bedroom, motivated by this feeling, associated to yearning for the wind of change, movements, traveling... New fresh energies. I'm a student of life, constantly learning new things and seeking new answers."
Tune in and feel.

SENSOCASTS #12 - Sukhmanee

I am so thankful and blissfully happy to share my very first Ambient Set, which was recorded at Kiez Burn 2021. This little journey is to relax, to calm down, to breathe in and out, to flow & float, to enjoy and to just feel, to feel the love and the energy that was created at this indescribable Utopia.

And there are no better words to describe these experiences at Kiez Burn then this poetry of Sacred FooL (@sounddirktator) at the beginning of the set, which we discovered on Saturday Morning after a magical day&night at our beloved camp Musotopia, Thank you Dirk, thanks Musotopia and thank you Kiez Burn! <3

Enjoy! <3

Whooo [Concrete Jungle]

"Lost, Not Gone" is an emotional journey in three chapters, moving through fragility, inner blocks, and ultimately, release.
The EP was born from a personal need for clarity — a desire to observe my own shadows without filters, but with honest awareness.
Each track reflects a distinct moment in this process: from the effort of standing back up, to the acceptance of pain, and finally, a form of conscious distance and calm.
The sound blends melodic house, emotional minimalism, and cinematic elements, always leaving space for reflection.
This is music meant to be truly listened to — more than just club material, it’s meant to accompany those on an inner journey.

"Still Trying" speaks of the struggle to rise again, always.
Even when negative thoughts hold us back, even when giving up feels easier than moving forward.
This track is an act of emotional resilience, but not a forced celebration of positivity — it acknowledges how difficult it is to keep trying.
It’s like apologizing to yourself for the times you let those thoughts win, while promising to try again anyway.

"To No One" is a silent dedication to myself.
It comes from the need to accept a difficult truth: we can’t change how others behave, even when it hurts us.
The track is built on an emotional loop, intentionally repetitive, representing a persistent pain — but also the strength that grows from self-compassion.
Gentle shifts in harmony act as small gestures of encouragement I give to myself.
It’s not a resolution, but an act of inner resistance.

"Out of Self" is a journey beyond the self — a detached look at one’s own experience.
Creating distance from negative thoughts can become a form of liberation, a way to regain clarity and reconnect with what still feels good.
It’s not about denying pain, but about choosing not to stay trapped in it.
The sound opens up and breathes, as if the air were finally moving again — a temporary peace, just enough to begin creating again.

Still Trying
