Magician On Duty ✨ Journey ✨ Series

Wenn gemeinsam Träume wahr werden... Was ein Festival, was eine Insel, was ne Crew, was ne Crowd und was ein morgen! Da ich mich erst vor 2 Jahren auf den Events der @mystic-tales-berlin in Downtempo verliebt habe, war es schon ultra schön zu hören, dass die Mystics uns vom BeYond Kollektiv dabei haben wollten um ihre schöne Insel in Polen in eine zauberhafte Parallelwelt zu verwandeln✨. Dass @thisisrakaethe und ich dann auch noch den Mainfloor für @hhaller einheizen durften war ein einziges Träumchen. Nur schön und unfassbar aufregend die eigenen Lieblingstracks und die ersten eigenen Produktionen auf so einer Anlage zu betanzen.  Und wieviele Lieblingsmenschen mit uns in der Hitze breit grinsend sich wild tanzend in der Musik verloren haben werde ich literally nie vergessen. Wir können die nächsten gemeinsamen Abenteuer kaum abwarten🚀

Dickes fettes Dankeschön an die @mystic-tales-berlin die für so viele Menschen in Polen Träume haben wahr werden lassen. Nur Liebe an @beyondcollectiveberlin für den traumhaften Familienausflug nach Polen💜
Und Merci fürs knallige Mastering @kollektivsheesh

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨


When dreams come true together... What a festival, what an island, what a crew, what a crowd and what a morning!  Since I fell in love with downtempo only 2 years ago at the Mystics events, it was super special to hear that the Mystics wanted us from the BeYond collective there to turn their beautiful island into a magical parallel world. That @thisisrakaethe  and I were booked to heat up the mainfloor for @hhaller was literally a dream come true. Just beautiful and incredibly exciting to dance to your own favorite tracks and your first own productions on such a sound system.  And I will literally never forget how many of our favorite people lost themselves in the music, smiling brightly and dancing wildly in the heat. We can hardly wait for the next adventures together.
Big big thank you to the @mystic-tales-berlin who made dreams come true for so many people in Poland. Only love to @beyondcollectiveberlin for the dreamlike family trip on this mystical island.
And Merci for the bangin mastering @kollektivsheesh

🎵 Soso Klein b2b Domjan [ at ] Chateau Perché festival 2023 - Le Cèdre Olympien Stage Closing[ Live - Special ] 🎵

The fantastic dj duo https://soundcloud.com/soso-klein and https://soundcloud.com/eldomjan recorded an stunning closing set at the Chateau Perché Festival 2023. This Mix is for true a gem and includes an wide range of different downtempo music faraway from here and now. Made for an afterhour.


Recording date: 8.07.2023, from 5am-8am & +++.
Venue: Chateau Perché Festival 2023 
https://www.facebook.com/ChateauPercheFestival

+++ Interview +++
✔️ What are your musical influences?

Sophie:  I come from a family where classical music was always played and listened to, and  I played  piano & harp during my childhood. I later discovered electronic music, then downtempo music from Germany, and immediately loved it. Today, Ninze and his project Wide Awake are a main source of inspiration for me, but I like to mix different genres in my DJ-Sets.

Damien: I was mainly a huge fan of the 60-70 psychedelic rock or progressive rock but I also loved the blues, soul, disco or Spanish flamenco or French and Italian singer/songwriter. I wanted to be a rockstar at 14 years old and started playing the guitar and the piano. I ended up being a DJ and had the opportunity to play in nice venues. Cool! :)

✔️ What do you think makes a good after-hours?

Being able to offer some change in the dynamic of the party. Giving a fresh air and a new perspective to people to enjoy music in a different way. In our opinion it is often at the end of the parties that the dance floor kinda have a nice unique vibe where you feel that the crowd is really united. 

✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about the gig?

It might sound a bit cheesy like those motivation speeches you can hear or read on the internet but in this case we kind of feel it this way. Doing a set together is not always easy, but in the end we really loved the result because it reflects both of us and we really managed to overlap the songs in a very coherent storyline.

It was awesome since we played this set exactly one year to the day after our first b2b at Kitkat Club in Berlin. It was a great honour and pleasure to be reunited again behind the decks to play for the closing of the main stage " Le Cèdre Olympien" at Chateau Perché Festival in France. We would like to thanks all the dancers who made the ride with us and stayed until the early hours of the morning, Christian Kahl for the invitation,  and the Kamiwaza crew for building this amazing stage. And last but not least, we thank Afterhours sounds for including this memorable set in your wonderful Podcast serie. MERCI <3 We hope you can enjoy this recording.

This is kind of a special one for us since it is the very first time we have ever stayed behind the decks together.

A couple of days before we both have been excited but also quite nervous, but we think it turned out pretty well… sometimes it’s just a match!

So, we hope you enjoy listening to the set as much as we did playing it.

Much love to the Schöner Tag Family in Dresden! It was a pleasure! <3

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Esmaeili (@jan_sml) & ZHTA (@zhta)

Esmaeili (@jan_sml) and @zhta both come from West Germany, met in Istanbul and are based in Berlin. Ever since, they share a common love for downtempo music and various spheres of slower sounds.

This set is a live recording from the solidarity party for beloved Mensch Meier, in an effort to help the club survive a few more months before it sadly closes at the end of the year. Despite this sad background, it was a great pleasure for the couple to enjoy another sunny and sweaty Sunday afternoon in the Meier garden.

After a dark night of fast and straightforward techno, @esmaeili and @Zhta turned down the tempo and fired up the afterhour dancefloor for two fog and bass-heavy hours. Several wheat beers were emptied and people danced in little paddling pools. 

Thanks to all the wonderful dancers who took part, to @anselmus-berlin for the invitation and to the whole @menschmeier_berlin crew for making the magic happen all these years ♡

I hope you will enjoy this episode as much as I did!

I'm extremely grateful for all the friends and producers who contributed to this magic, for the shared moments of jumping, for countless happy grinding bass faces, for dancing to my favourite Knarz on this insane sound system and for enjoying special moments of dancing to mind-blowing sets by @true.nature.frequencies @leonseyde @tonda.music. I've honestly never experienced such a vibe and energy on this very special floor as during our @beyondcollectiveberlin showcase which fills my heart. Taking over from @deep_aendi and handing over to @jpattersson was also super special for me. I cant wait for our next adventure. 

Who can find the 3 new tracks of @leonseyde and me?

Our first mix of the new year comes from a remarkable trio. It features our dear friend @r_3_n_a_t_a collaborating with @kg-aufbau, whose distinct sound quickly chases away the winter blues.

Playing my first gig at Acid Bogen was a dream come true. 

Warming up the floor for my friends @akra_ondo & @cocobinat, and playing a slightly faster set than usual was super fun and I enjoyed every second of it! 

A heartfelt thank you to Matti for the trust, the lovely crowd and to my friends who joined this exhilarating ride that night. It meant a lot to me! 

Enjoy! <3

On this edition we welcome Arturo (@arturo_grooves)

Arturo is a multifaceted artist, known equally for his prowess as a DJ, selector, curator, and event organizer. His passion for his craft is palpable in every endeavor he undertakes, driven by a profound love for the art of music.

Hailing originally from the Caucasus region, Arturo's lineage is a colorful tapestry of Gypsy, Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Russian heritage. His journey in music began at a tender age when he migrated to Germany as a young child. It was there, amidst the vibrant cultural landscape, that he took his first tentative steps into the world of rhythm and melody, his tiny feet dancing to the beats emanating from the screens of MTV and Viva.

While his musical tastes initially spanned a broad spectrum, Arturo's affinity for gritty, pulsating sounds soon emerged. It was during his time at the University of Heidelberg and amidst the electric atmosphere of Saarbrücken's techno scene that he found his true calling in synthetic and psychedelic sounds.

Since those formative years, Arturo has been a fixture behind the decks at numerous open-air events, raves, and club gatherings in and around Mannheim and Heidelberg. His involvement in various youthful rave collectives marked the beginning of a journey that would lead him to the forefront of the electronic music scene.

A pivotal moment in Arturo's career came with his association with the creative music collective "Slow Bar" and his residency at Frankfurt's esteemed event series, "Kabinett der Kuriositäten." These experiences further honed his skills and expanded his artistic horizons, paving the way for his relocation to Berlin.

In Berlin's dynamic musical landscape, Arturo has left an indelible mark, gracing the stages of renowned clubs such as "Klunkerkranich," "Beate Uwe," "Remise," and the legendary "Kater Blau." His sonic palette defies categorization, blending elements of Slowrave, Flowwave, Ketapop, and a myriad of other genres into a seamless tapestry of sound.

For Arturo, there are no rules in the realm of music, only boundless creativity and limitless expression. His sets are a testament to this philosophy, weaving together moments of magic with pulsating, progressive beats. From smashy and sexy grooves to trippy soundscapes and bumpy drum patterns, Arturo's signature style is characterized by its versatility and innovation.

In a world where genres are mere constructs, Arturo stands as a beacon of musical freedom, pushing boundaries and transcending limitations with each electrifying performance.
