PLAYWORKS session 007

Welcome Mixtape #192 by Ahau from Chile!

"Blessing i grew up in the south of Chile very close to the Andean rain forest, which always helped me to appreciate the importance of nature and love its sounds. When I got older is when I discovered that these could coexist with electronic music, creating a sub-genre that unifies what I liked most about music and dance with what I loved the most on the planet: its nature and its roots.    
 
So one day I got tired of just dancing and listening and I dared to collect my favorite music and then mix it as a DJ. Luckily my relationship with music became much more serious than just listening to it, mixing it up and dancing it, so I began to feel that it also wanted to express itself through me. After much effort I acquired the skills that allowed me to express everything I had inside.

Welcome to this journey ...

MUSIC IS A FIRST CLASS TICKET DIRECT TO ALL WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE."

Der Jungbrunnen ⛲ Anna Aloka

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 the very tasteful @andremayborn

Andre Mayborn has been evolving as an artist and DJ since early 2016. His music reflects diverse ethnic themes from cultures all over the world that combine hypnotic grooves of African tribes, upbeat Balkan fusions, rhythmic ensembles of the Middle East, meditative chants of Asian temples, Indian shamanism and mystic Slavic folklore.

Often defined as avant-garde downtempo Andre's music takes his audience on a spiritual journey into the world guiding their imagination through mysterious times and places, triggers their deep emotions and thoughts, gives inspiration to their minds. Each performance is an aesthetic interpretation of diverse cultural repercussions with their sacred messages seen from a contemporary perspective.

Andre is a co-founder and resident at AnimaTerra Festival, a global initiative and platform for self-expression which is aimed to promote multicultural electronic/world music, flow and visual arts through engaging creative communities and musical talents all around the world.

About this journey :
Oh the lovely Hawaiian guitar melodies, lazy languishing slide guitars, dubby reverbs and echoey female voices, quirky sounds and unexpected breaks into traditional Polynesian songs, hypnotic tribal drumming and light headed disco airs… As intoxicating as a tropical cocktail, these elements of summer charmed and lifted my spirit.
I’m gifting them all to you here in this playful psychedelic mix.
It kicks off with the enchanting, freshly released, dub version of Pretty Boy, a track by TIGER ON THE MOON, a band led by performer and producer Louie My, in which I have the pleasure to play synth. As the mix progresses things get increasingly dancy until it lands softly on my favorite slow track of the year: Sim Sim Sim by SIMPLE SYMMETRY (featuring Abrao).

Listening is recommended in the sun, preferably with friends or future friends!
- Bathing suits optional
- Roaming pets allowed
- Electronics, zoom meetings, desk chairs and worries forbidden
- Love and celebratory zest for summer mandatory!
As always, thank you for lending your ears.

About Tamara :
Like Marc Bolan’s Cosmic Dancer, in all likelihood, Tamara came out of the womb dancing. With older brothers in garage bands, the walls of household shook all through the 80’s.  
Later, her amorous relationships were based on shared passion for music. That’s how she was introduced to the miracle of late 20th century music and its Kaleidoscopic diversity, from Sati to Flaming Lips, Neil Young to Kraftwerk and Funkadelic to Sphongle.
Much later, stranded on some Caribbean Island and weary of Reggaeton, she finally put all that musical influence to good use and cut her teeth as a DJ on the island’s beach gatherings and Full Moon parties. Her sets are an unexpected combination of electronic, psychedelic and bouncy cuts, infused with every genre from funk, to ethnic folk, rock and disco.
She also plays synthesizer and sings backs in husband’s project Tiger On The Moon. From the womb to the tomb is how she describes her dedication in making people open there hearts and DANCE!

What's Your Dream_

Step into a moonlit river of sound. Session XIX — Lanterns Over the Water drifts through the heart of Japan’s shrine and lantern traditions, weaving non‐lexical shrine chorus hums, shakuhachi sighs, koto glissandi, and taiko heartbeat pulses into a deep, meditative lounge journey.
Inspired by Kyoto’s Gion nights, coastal lantern festivals, and the still elegance of Shinto shrine waters, this session captures a ritual calm where fireflies, incense smoke, and floating lights move as one.

▸ REGION: Japan — Shinto shrine ambience, lantern festivals, Gion street nights
▸ VOCALS: nonverbal shrine chants, breath vowels (“aaa–ooo–eee”), whispered blessings (“mizu,” “tsuki,” “kokoro”)
▸ INSTRUMENTS: shakuhachi, koto, taiko, suzu bells, temple woodblock, night cicadas, water ripple field recordings
▸ MOOD: moonlit stillness • ritual elegance • drifting light on water

🎧 For meditative evenings, incense-lit moments, or midnight walks by water.

Lush is a place: winter gems.

Lush is a Place

Yo homeboy! What up homegirl?

Wads of smoke lurk around the dimly lit room, kickdrums beat the dust out of your ears at a rate below 100 per minute, your head is nodding gently on its own and your thoughts are slowly getting as foggy as the air around you. 

Welcome to the hip hop lounge!

Where the golden era is still very much alive today, just like you stepped through a time portal and got transported almost 30 years into the past, the moment you entered the swinging doors to this hole in the wall. Your sense of time is getting distorted by endless loops and when you leave this place your memory will be coated in a sweetish haze. 

What day is it? Sunday of course. 
It‘s always Sunday around here. 
Sundays are the best.

Something Slow like a downtempo dance session at Hideaway in Vagator?
Instagram: hideaway.goa

We've left the winter in Berlin for a season of weekly slow love in sunny Goa and here in this playlist are the recordings from those events.

Something Slow is all about taking time to enjoy inspirational music and each other...we support the artists that bring us the slow sounds that we love the most.

On Wednesday 3rd February 2021 Chromaderma and Disco Kid gave us a #slow session to remember.

Check out the recording of the talented Chromaderma set and get a sense of the vibe of Something Slow in India.
