Casual Creation Issue 12

Fusion Festival 2024 b2b with my dear friend Nacho Isa at my homebase Panne Eichel/ Bachstelzen floor.

this wasnt an easy year for me during a palestinian boycott of the festival as i stand with my friends from palestine and the arab world during these terrible times of an ongoing genocide. but i decided to be there and talk to people and see what is going on at our beloved fusion festival. 
in the end i was happy to see many artists standing with palestine and speaking up , and many people wearing Kufiyas in solidarity with palestine.
we had a great time playing and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did <3

Madmotormiquel & Nacho Isa - Fusion Festival 2024

Luca Marano is back on Escapism Musique, this time with his friend Allen. The EP contains an original floor killer track and two remixes, one from famous Ray Okpara and one from the label-owner, Mindhacker. Enjoy !

02. Allen & Luca Marano - Maniac (Ray Okpara Remix)

"How can you know what I feel? How can you know if you don't listen to me? Raised to be silent, not born to be silent. Born to live, to be free, to be human, to find our own language. We still want to talk, to exchange, to trust and to try. It exists: one language; but it is not taught to us. All the horror, the facts, almost unbearable but we live, we feel. Finding what is inside us, what we are born with. So much to unlearn, that seems to be the motto. Where are those who give us hope, who accompany us? We are not the freaks, that's completely others. We are not evil and violent but we are rageous and tender. Tenderly feeling and searching for love and peace, for humanity..." 
INTRO translation (Track: Verteilt Euch-Decha)

Really one of my favourite Fusions ever. Still delivering the sweetest, craziest unique atmospheres like always. Such good music, people, vibes. My set was the cherry on top for me with a truly solid energetic Dancefloor. I am super thankful for everyone who made this epic event possible...♥︎

Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey into the sunset on Sunday evening at the Wald floor. It was a true honor and so much fun!

Franca @ Wald - Garbicz Festival 2024

Our first various artists release in 2015 features 4 deep groovin’ productions carefully crafted by Junior Gee & Lewis Boardman. Although both artists already established their signature sound in previous projects, these tracks all strive for the same energy and vibe, making them a perfect fit for a VA-Release. With Gee & Lewis each contributing two tracks, this EP is locked & loaded with quality tunes just waiting to be played out loud!

I am SO excited to share my set from Shipwrecked Festival with you today. Without a doubt the highlight of my last couple of months on tour and one of my favorite sets I’ve ever played 🫠

Sometimes everything just falls into place... 18.000km from home, the vibiest of all sunsets, surrounded by so many smiling faces, sandwiched in between some of my very best friends, the most insane curation from start to finish… I’m still speechless when I think of this weekend and all the joy that it brought me.

I’ve put quite some thought into this set and I think it all came together just right. I hope it brings you, my dear Kiwi’s, some heart warming memories of summer - and for my friends in the northern hemisphere, a little taste of what’s ahead of us 🌞

Thank you so much Shipwrecked & Logan Baker for having me and for facilitating one of the most beautiful and heartfelt festivals I’ve ever been to, thank you Sound of Silk for making this whole New Zealand tour possible and thanks Madhat NZ & Louie Carrol for making the humming hut hummmmm! 🫶🏼

I’ll cherish this memory forever!

Hope you enjoy the ride 🎢

Fusion, thank you. 🎶🪩🚀

My hybrid set from Friday Morning on Sonnendeck is out now on Soundcloud. I hope you enjoy it!

 It was my first Fusion, definitely not the last. One of the most inclusive, affordable, sustainable and badass events I had a chance to see. The level of creativity, the quality of sound systems, the absence of authority or security, yet the feeling of safety and community. An impressive and powerful sonic city that shows us how the world can be when we work for a greater purpose, together, with strong values. 

This set represents a lot for me, after quite an heart opening trip in Beirut, Lebanon right before Fusion, getting closer to the war opened my eyes to the energies, challenges and times we are living in, while being fuelled and inspired by the beautiful resilience of people. ❤️

The dancefloor as a revolution. Music as a way to heal. The community as a foundation to rebuild the world from the heart space. 🌍   Gratitude to the Sonnendeck crew for the invitation, to everyone who came to dance for the morning session, and big love to old and new friends who made this journey memorable.

Fusion + 20 years Bachstelzen <3

Michi and I were set and ready to take over from Mimi Love @spreedelay, but during our third track, our mixer unexpectedly dropped out. It was a bumpy start, but once we switched over to the backup mixer, everything took off and what a ride it turned into! We decided to keep the recording as it was: raw, real, and true to the live experience. Sometimes these little curveballs are just part of the journey.

The photo perfectly captures how we prep our sets—and also explains why our backs and shoulders are always in recovery mode! 😂 (Thank you, Em, for the snap!)

A heartfelt thank you to the entire @bachstelzen crew and Fusion for having us, to the producers behind the tracks, the sound techs, our amazing friends who held space for us, and every dancer and twerker who shared the moment on the floor.

@madmotormiquel, thank you for your constant support, and for being the best samba dancer and twerker a Brazilian could dream of!

P.S. This year marked Fusion’s 26th anniversary and Bachstelzen’s 20th. These collectives have shaped and inspired generations of ravers, myself included. I truly wouldn’t be who I am today without them. Happy birthday, and here’s to many more years of magic!

Kotoe & Madmotormiquel - Fusion Festival 2025 @ Panne Eichel

To play the closing before the daytime break at Turmbühne on Saturday morning was such a bliss and all my nervosity was blown away from the excitement to play one of my fav stages at Fusion Festival. Especially after 15 years of visiting, dancing, taking days of for my ravecation, strolling around, getting lost, meeting new people, reuniting with friends from all over the world, discovering new artists I'm so honored to have finally played the mother of all stages there. Probably the best dancefloor on the planet.

Hey, you!

♥

Thank you for checking out and listening to this.

This is my recording of the opening of the Sonnendeck stage on Wednesday this year at Lärz.

Wait... actually, the stage itself opened with Peter Licht's beautiful track "Sonnendeck". Of course, I thought about this as well, but only "Sonnendeck" plays "Sonnendeck" on the decks.

It was an honour to play at this amazing event, which was made possible by the hard work of many great people.

♥

Thank you to everyone at Sonnendeck. Really, thank you!

Thank you, dancing people! I was very overwhelmed and couldn't really look up during my whole set... but wow!

Thank you, friends, for your support. Sorry I was complicated. Fusion only happens once a year.

Thank you, Fusion. You always create a place that gives me hope in humankind, even more so at times like this.

Thank you, Taraneh, for letting me take this photo this morning and for letting me use it as my cover. Thank you for having a great time with you all.

Thank you, dear listener!

It took me a while to upload this set because my MIDI controllers had many issues while playing, and fixing some things to make it listenable took longer than expected — it took me five times to export this set because of mistakes I made and longer export times due to higher plugin settings.
I'm still not really happy because I put too much pressure on myself and encountered some MIDI controller issues, but there's always room for improvement.

♥

I hope you like it!

Live at Sonnendeck Fusion Festival 2025

Some sets are just perfect from the start and some are more difficult for so many reasons. If it's how much i sleept to the technical conditions, the weather, the vibe and many reasons more. This set started actually a bit bumby for me and ended up quite epic...very rare...Fusion love 4ever...Panne Eichel and Bachstelzen love 4ever
