Get rid of the cold and gray winter mood and let the warm and cozy sound of @kikikokolores fill your ears with joy in our new episode of the Striped.

Kiki knows how to combine coiled and soft sounds with deep and groovy basslines. It's always a beautiful journey into a dreamy and magical atmosphere. Like a bat, Kiki Kokolore's guides us through the twilight of slow house and downtempo. 

She has been supporting the downtempo scene in Kassel for many years with her collective "Dreiradfahrt", playing a magical fusion set in 2023 and she enriches the downtempo scene with her unique sound.

We are very happy to have her as our 12th edition of the podcast, so Kiki: Welcome to the pack! <3

Bunte Kuh Podcast #76 -  Najesh & Artišoko

🎵 true Ƞɑʈure [ at ] Beate Uwe [ LIVE-SPECIAL ]🎵

The lovely Sina from the well-known BeYond collective from Berlin is travelling with us through a world full of hypnosis and groove.

++++INTERVIEW++++

✔️ What is your musical background?
For me the active electronic music game started at the beginning of 2021, one month after my first deep-felt rave experience. During a party we had in the community I lived in one of my roommates suggested I might try mixing and introduced me into playing a first track. Since then, the light got lit and the fascination for music made me go ahead. After moving to Berlin six months later and meeting my friend @zhart who also had started to play recently, the journey begun and over time I learned more about collecting and mixing sounds. Soon we got to know our love for downtempo and became part of the heart-filling BeYond collective that also influenced my taste in sound and parties. Since about one year I feel home in playing 95 BPM or slower and got to love the playful and wholesome moments  that slowraves can offer as much as the extra space that Downtempo gives to every sound.

✔️ What is a good afterhour for you?
„...after collectively spending a sweet time. especially then after several hours of dancing, fully entering into all layers of sound may feel extra natural. the time seems to get a different quality and creates a space full of easy and joy. i feel this is where a good afterhour can bring you."

✔️ Thoughts about the Set:
This mix originates from a closing set I played in Beate Uwe in Berlin - what I loved during this set was the fact that the people on the floor really seemed to let themselves go deep into the sound. It’s always beautiful when dancers hop onto the slow lane and appreciate the vibe of slow dark baselines and playful melodies. This gig also felt special because the first part was a b2b with iris anahata (released on magicians on duty) which both of us enjoyed a lot. Especially in wild times like the current ones feel to me I highly appreciate moments where some weight gets lifted from our shoulders and music takes us to the current moment.

Thanks so much Sina for beeing a part of our series.

Schleichcast°47 comes with 9025 beats - or put differently: 95bpm in almost ninety-five minutes. Okay, in other, actual words: A rather slow set if you’d be telling from the numbers only, yet a powerful one if you immerse in its wide and open sound spaces where every musical element is given all the more attention, the opportunity to unfold its essence and to say what it has to say. Rolling basslines will pave the way while spherical synth leads do the guidance once you’ve embarked on this journey, ready to lose yourself in an epic story told by @zhart & @truenaturemusic. We're super delighted to have two @beyondcollectiveberlin legends join our podcast series on a joint mission - thank you both for serving us some legal ecstasy with your mix here!

>>Wer seid ihr und woher kommt ihr? 
Wir sind Justus und Sina und leben in Berlin.

>>Wie kamt ihr zum Auflegen? 
Ob Aufwärmsound bei Handballspielen, Musik, um die Sonne im Freibad zu genießen, oder der Auswahl der genau richtigen Lieder, bevor eine Autofahrt losgehen kann - Justus war schon immer derjenige, der die Stille gerne mit passender Musik füllen wollte. Als ihn sein bester Freund fragte, warum er eigentlich nicht auflegt, wurden ihm die Augen geöffnet. Er hat sich daraufhin direkt einen Controller bestellt und die zharte Reise fand ihren Ursprung. Sina wurde von ihrem früheren Mitbewohner dazu inspiriert. Einen Monat nach ihrer ersten tief empfundenen Rave-Erfahrung hat er während einer Party in ihrer damaligen Gemeinschaft vorgeschlagen, dass sie vielleicht auch mal spielen sollte und sie direkt dabei unterstützt, einen ersten Track zu spielen. Die damalige Weisheit „wenn's ein Banger ist, juckt der Übergang niemanden“ hat den Einstieg erleichtert, hat sich allerdings mit der Zeit als Trugschluss herausgestellt. 

>>Was hat euch für das Set inspiriert? 
Wir hatten Lust, mal wieder gemeinsam unsere Liebe zu 95 BPM auszudrücken und erfreuen uns sowieso an den mittlerweile wieder wachsenden Überschneidungen unseres Sounds. Die Freude darüber konnten wir bei Justus' WG Party im tiefsten Nebel ausleben. Kommt gerne dazu geschwebt.


>>Was gefällt euch besonders an "langsamer" Musik? 
Mit langsamer Musik verbinden wir viel Attraktives drumherum. Zu Downtempo tanzen geht für uns mit ganz anderen Gefühlen und Zielen einher als zu jeder anderen Musik zu feiern. Durch das verlangsamte Tempo bekommen alle Töne mehr Raum um zu wirken und können so ganz bewusst und gezielt wahrgenommen und betanzt werden. In einer Welt, in der einem alles zu viel und überwältigend sein kann, fühlen sich die kuschligen, warmherzigen und unaufgeregten Räume, die mit Downtempo einhergehen, aus vielen Gründen wertvoll an. Neben den meditativen Zuständen, die wir durch das Tanzen zu langsamen Beats immer wieder betreten dürfen, ist die Downtempo Bubble einfach super wohltuend, achtsam und einfach eine süße Herzenscommunity, in der fühlen und gezieltes reagieren fernab von Hektik und dennoch mit Ekstase ausgelebt werden kann. Außerdem gibt es in der Welt auch einfach schon genügend Schnelligkeit 🙂

INKAA - deep & smooth #140

The coming of spring - a process, repetitive but always amazing in its vibrant aliveness. A lightness still new, a sun warming but not piercing and leaves, so many leaves, sprouting all around. In this season of beginnings and fading memories of snow, cozy gatherings and long, long nights, we received a living gemstone, flowering with vibrant colors and promising renewal and return. A story of stories, a fragrant garden of calm in the midst of life’s storms.
Lucidity stands for clarity, clarity, maybe even simplicity. Lucid’s music reflects this wonderfully - minimalistic, yet full, sometimes powerful, sometimes soft, but always warm and emotional; an ever pulsating kick drum the solid ground from which minimalistic rhythms, soaring melodies and ethereal ambiences grow.

Enjoy the journey!
