We are delighted to usher in the darker season with a lovingly crafted creation from Leipzig based LENI.

LENI's sonic signature is defined by its resonant basslines and an artistically fluid ambiance. By blending a spectrum of musical genres and employing extended transitions, she skillfully crafts an engaging, dynamic journey that takes listeners on a captivating rollercoaster of emotions, moving effortlessly between highs and lows.

Sink into your favorite chair, watch the autumn leaves gently tumble, and let the music mix take you on a journey.

Behind LOKD Doors 32 – LENI

We probably don't need to say much about the next artist in our beloved down. cast series, as her sound speaks volumes and should be familiar to any downtempo aficionado by now.

Of course, we're talking about @frida-darko, who for years has consistently delivered fantastic and carefully curated sound.

Being a part of the @rebelliondertraumer and @station-endlos-halle crews and having launched her own label project @tipping-point-music in recent months, one can always be curious what this versatile artist has in store for us next.

We're all the more thrilled to have her now as part of our series as well and wish you all a great time with the upcoming mix.

I'm still absolute buzzed and without any words after this really beautiful weekend in switzerland. Thank you dancers for staying with me until the lights went on and thank you aka tony for inviting tvísker, christian hüllshoff and me to play at your first "down to earth" party at KAUZ. It was a truly unforgettable night with all of you! 🌞

happy listening x
Francesco

Francesco Rizzi @ Down To Earth | KAUZ | OCT 23

You all got your Pumpkin Spiced Latté ready? 🎃 Perfect, than throw it away, because  this month Traumcast Nr. 43 by @matildoutz-paris is everything but cozy! 

Grumpy basslines carry you through a mesmerizing forest of quivering synthesizers inhabited by a garrulous vocoder band. Saturated by a marching troop of percussions a starstruck landscape of dancing will-o'-the-wisps enrolls in this two hour journey.✨ Let yourself dive deep into this void of manifold sound textures and be guided through the shivering pictures of your imagination.

Three queries ring through the nocturnal shades:

🌊 What is your favorite procrastination activity?
Sitting by the sea with friends and watching the tides rise and fall to the rhythm of the moon and sun.

🧸 If you could live in any fictional world from a book or movie, where would you choose to live and why?
The Ewoks' village in "Return of the Jedi". It's a place I've always dreamed of visiting, with those cosy tree houses you'd love to settle your nest. Walking through the forest, from footbridge to footbridge. Not just one tree house, but an entire village - what a dream!

☕️ What do you normally eat for breakfast and on what time?
The only routine would be a coffee. For the rest, there are no rules. It depends on the day mood.

Matildoutz - Traumcast Nr. 43

🎵 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

+++ 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.

Hej lovelies,
here is the set that I played last Sunday at Beate Barfuß at Beate Uwe. It has a few weird tunes, but I was so excited to play a proper downtempo set again, that I wanted to share it with you anyway :)) Thanks a lot to everyone who came out and grooved to this <3<3<3

Tracklist

Iorie auf Socken @ Beate Barfuß, November 2023

Seven years without missing a single one of these winter interludes where Time is turned completely upside down for 3 dreamy days of celebrating life with old and new friends. This year it was 40 hours of rave in this mythical club that invites us to celebrate one of the Women of my life, for all that she represents.
Playing  at Acid Bogen on that Sunday evening is one of the greatest gifts anyone could have offered me, but it's also a huge honour.
Seeing all those bodies move as one to the sound of the music was like meeting the groove itself.
It's almost hard to come away from this trip, and hard to explain in detail as it was so intense.
Hope you'll enjoyed this ride as much as I did

Happy Birthday Sweet Mira 🐈‍⬛💙✨

The eleventh edition of our Striped series comes from our very own @slowrevolt  

They'll take you on a three-hour journey full of slow goodness.
It's Once again a really nice downtempo set for listening at home, on the road or at later, or "early" hours at the weekend
It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride, but that's what the boys are know for.

Let yourself be carried along and enjoy the ride with slow revolt!
