From freezing nights to hot moments on the paradies dancefloor - Sommerfest in Aken was once again a beautiful gathering with old and new friends and fantastic music! Thank you Chris and Eileen for the invitation <3 

Paul Valentin | Sommerfest in Aken 2025

🎵 Dario Klein, jofunk & Max Härtel - Live @ Myzel im Friedenspark Köln (30. Mai 2025)🎵

Shortly after Arkadiusz arrived at Dario Klein's flat in cologne, he was taken along to a Myzel collective open-air event. Rumour had it that they would be jamming spontaneously. What happened next was simply beautiful and perfect for an open-air event in the middle of summer. The atmosphere was sunny and positive, with funky interludes and a great groove.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<

✔️ What are your musical influences? 

We are an improvisation project from Cologne, working with different instrumentalists: Sometimes in our Cologne studio, and sometimes on stage! All our sets are created completely in the moment. Nothing is planned or pre-produced, which allows us to move in different directions and react spontaneously to the dance floor.

We produce all the sounds with our instruments: Dario Klein plays the drum machine and electric bass, Jofunk plays the keys, and Max Härtel plays the saxophone and flute.

This set was created at a sunny open-air party organised by the Cologne Myzel Kollektiv, who hold events at various off-site locations in Cologne.


Although we have different musical backgrounds, this set showcases our shared passion for grooving. Influences from soul, funk, jazz and breakbeats can all be heard in the set. All in all, it's bouncy but emotional!


✔️ In your opinion, what makes a good afterhour?
The best after-hours events are always spontaneous! If spontaneous, then full power!


✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about your mix?
The most important idea we pursue with our live sets is to live in the moment. We don't plan everything down to the smallest detail because it's bound to go wrong! But we do it with a smile on our faces. The principle behind our sets is simple: Think less, just do it! Nothing can go wrong without a plan!

 
✔️ How did you feel about the gig?
We found this gig particularly exciting because the three of us had only met once before. Namely, at the dress rehearsal.

Dario Klein, jofunk & Max Härtel - Live Impro Special [at] Myzel Open Air [ Live-Special ]

Still overwhelmed by what happened Friday night at the beautiful Seebühne.
My first time playing at Fusion Festival couldn't have been better. Truly honored to perform on such a gorgeous stage in front of the best crowd. Words can’t express my gratitude. Special thanks to everyone whose support and trust made this to an experience I’ll never forget. 
A little dream came true.

This winter Kenneth from freihgefühl reached out to us, asking who did the amazing aftermovie of the Family Affiars Festival. The mastermind behind it is no one else than our close friend Camilo, who is in a way responsible for this whole Brudi&Spargel project, as he had the idea to gift a DJ controller to Spargel 5 years ago. Unfortunately Camilo couldn't make it that weekend - but we're happily offering the bundle of Aftermovie by Camilo and a set of us in case you're a booker & reading this 😄 

Anyway, Kenneth and his partner Anni listened to our sets and asked us if we wanted to play. Lucky us as they really set up such a nice event and put all their heart doing it! After all Brudi Bennet could not make it so Spargel Tim had to play solo, but sometimes it's what's it's. Also the rain could not stop everyone at the festival having a ball - thank you to everyone involved for creating this experience 🫰🏻

Hope you enjoy all the first class edits we put together here (:
