Nichts ist absolut. Alles verändert sich. Alles bewegt sich. Alles dreht sich. Alles fliegt. Und verschwindet. (Frida Kahlo) 💫 

This is my Darko FRIDAy Night Set from Atlantis Stage at Bucht der Träumer* Festival 2022 :) I'm so happy to show it to you and I really hope you will enjoy listening to it. 🎶

Thanks to everyone who joined and danced with me. I'm very grateful for having this spacial magical moment together with yous <3 

I wish that we can all have the courage to show our fallibility and be honest with ourselves. Because I believe that this honesty is the smallest common multiple of our connection. And then we can learn. Then we can develop. Then we can forgive. And be able to go further. All together. With the flow. In tact. In the moment. That turns. That moves. That flies. And disappears. 
 
Your Fridi Darksn  🧡  🥒

My personal highlight 2022. Meeresrausch Festival, playtime 2 - 4.30 a.m. into a beautiful sunrise.

WOW, WHAT A YEAR THIS HAS BEEN!!! A rollercoaster ride in any manner, on a personal as well as on a musical level. It was the year I played the most festivals and still I haven’t uploaded any of the recordings. It just felt like those months were meant to be purely dedicated to the magical moments and encounters with people on site - be it new or old friends (you know who you are 🤟🏼).

This set is by far not mixed perfectly. The experience, however, to me was the most perfect one in 2022: A bunch of friends surrounding me on the floor and the booth, the opportunity to play after and before artists I admire (shoutout to @umamiinspace and @bonjourben !) and, after all,  the most incredible vibe and energy you, the crowd, brought about until the very last second of the set. What magic!

So here it is - my wildest uptempo journey of 2022, containing some catchy edits, tech-housy dance vibes, some darkness at first and some uplifting energy and cheesiness towards the end (my favorite). As always, accompanied by driving sahrabass lines and proper bounciness.

Enjoy!!

happy belated birthday dear @mira_kater :) 
thank you sooo much for the opportunity to play at your event! thank you for your trust, your support and your kind words. i have no words left to describe how i felt while opening my beloved hopper floor :') big thank you to all the lovely dancers and to my friends who came all the way from passau to celebrate with me. dancing in the confetti rain and meeting all those strangers and artists who inspire me was just GREAT.  

this is kind of a wild and chaotic opening set and you will find a few imperfections in it because i was so nervous that my hands were tooo shaky to beatmatch properly :D but i can tell you, i had the time of my life <3 

special thanks to @elec-brown for helping me creating my intro :) 
mastering: @metatext

Lisa Luka (https://soundcloud.com/lisa_luka) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 255

After a sunny trip to warm Miami to see Magician on Duty, today we head all the way back to the south of Bavaria. In Passau, Lisa Luka welcomes us with her danceable interpretation of her Afterhour. But more on that later.

We came across Lisa Luka through our friend https://soundcloud.com/maria-theresia-von-eberg, who highly recommended her to us. What can we say? In one word: captivating. Her sound focuses mainly on the dancefloor. In terms of tempo as well as in the transporting mood. With this sound, no leg can stand still. And yes, that's exactly what we need in these icy temperatures outside.
Her mix is a fabulous blend of laid-back and exceedingly sun-filled organic dance music with a touch of deepness. After just a few minutes, you can't stop smiling. Even better, because you lose yourself in the Lisa-Lukas‘chen sound cosmos in the blink of an eye. You easily forget all the problems around you plus you will be teleported back to the festival season without any detours. 😊...wonderful. 

As the set progresses, it even picks up more and more speed, but without going too over the top.  After all, we are still at an afterhour. Although some like it wild. But not here. Although maybe a little bit. But that's a matter of opinion.  She skilfully combines in her story different subgenres of house, deep house, techno and dark disco music to a coherent journey in the end.

In addition to the mix, we didn't miss the opportunity to ask Lisa a few questions that we don't want to withhold from you.

➥ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background? 
 
I just don't want to and can't commit myself to that, because I rarely think in genres or choose my tracks accordingly. I simply listen to and play what I like or what I feel, and that can really be ANYTHING.  Mostly I like it groovy, cheeky and with a nice rolling bassline. In my sets you can also find a lot of vocals and guitars, but I can neither sing nor play guitar. :D What inspired and influenced me a lot on my musical journey were the endless nights at Kater Blau about 10 years ago, I would love to turn back time! 
 
➥ What do you think makes a good afterhour? 

Well, it's definitely having lovely people around you, the vibe just has to be right :) Apart from that, I love to dance a bit more at afterhours, so good music is super important to me! It can be a bit of everything, a few old tunes that make you nostalgic as well as tracks that you might not otherwise listen to and then discover and connect with at that very afterhour.
 
➥ What thoughts would you like to share with us about your mix?
 
Don't forget to go home :) Even the best afterhours come to an end and at some point you don't miss anything anymore! It's best to leave when it's at its best.


Fasten your seatbelts!  Because a journey awaits you that is just made for an afterhour. 

Thank you Lisa for this special set and for stepping in. Stunningly profound and refreshingly good. Chapeu.

Hey there amigos, it's your Frida 'Rhythm Wrangler' Darko and I'm so happy to finally share a new Set from Mexico with you! From Crania, Playtime 0 - 2 am. ✨🇲🇽

This mix is like a piñata full of musical treasures just waiting to burst open. So grab a margarita and join me on this musical journey - it's going to be a fiesta you will hopefully enjoy a lot, influenced by lovely artists I found & met in the last years <3 And of course, I appreciate every kind of feedback 🎶 🙃

Gracias Crania - for this magical night and treating me so well in the day I visited your place. I am in love with your way of thinking and building a special place in this world.  https://craniareclaim.com

Frida Darko @ Crania - Mexico Edition, Feb. 2023

Quillt dir die alljährliche Kuschelrock-Valentinstag-Playlist auch schon aus den Ohren? Da haben wir eine galante Lösung für dich: Horst Haller bringt dir in unserem neuen Traumcast einen wunderschöne Pralinenschachtel aus erlesenen midtempo Hits 💘. Ob du den Vielliebchentag dabei mit deinen Liebsten verbringst, oder nur mit deiner Monstera und einem Schlückchen Ingwer-Kombucha nach deiner Yoga-Love-Session schmust: Horst Hallers mitreisende Selection ist die perfekte Begleitung für sonnige Frühlingsgefühle. 🌸 @hhaller

3 schnelle Fragen an Horst Haller: 

🧡 Was ist der ungewöhnlichste Veranstaltungsort, an dem du jemals aufgetreten bist?
- Im Poloch auf dem Gängeviertel-Geburtstag 2019 - eine Hommage an den Hamburger Club Moloch. Das Floorkonzept erinnerte an... naja, ihr könnts euch denken 😁

💙 Wenn du ein Superheld wärst, welche besondere Power hättest du am liebsten? 
- Abgesehen davon, dass ich die ganze Superheldenakrobatik und Fliegenkönnen schon extrem cool finde - Menschen ihre Sorgen & Ängste nehmen und ihnen stattdessen die Zuversicht und das Selbstvertrauen in sich und ihre Fähigkeiten schenken, um ihre Ziele zu erreichen. Und natürlich die Superpower, den Kapitalismus, das Patriarchat und den Rassismus ein für allemal zu zerschlagen. ✊

💜 Und das wollen bestimmt alle endlich wissen: Wie pflegst du deine Haare?
- Verstehe die Frage nicht. Benutzt man dafür nicht einfach Head & Shoulders und als Spülung die vergossenen Tränen über die viele Lebenszeit, die fürs Suchen von neuer Musik draufgeht? 🥲

Horst Haller - Traumcast Nr. 36

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!!!
