The Deep Way" Series by Michel Heukrodt

„The Deep Way“ is a heartfelt project that celebrates the love for Dubtechno, experimental sounds, and electronic music in its purest form. This series captures the hypnotic, meditative quality of Dubtechno and merges it with the deep, emotional themes of self-discovery and spiritual journeys. The signature sound of Dubtechno – with its cool, often detached atmosphere – becomes a central element of the narrative.

At the heart of the series lies the power of electronic sound, particularly the unmistakable 4/4 rhythm that defines the Techno genre. This penetrating beat forms the foundation that supports the entire musical structure of the series, providing listeners with a steady, driving flow. Furthermore, the electronic bass drum, often the backbone of the music, is combined with subtle, repeating effects like reverb, echo, and phaser, which are characteristic of the Dubtechno style.

These effects not only create a deeper, immersive soundscape but also reflect the inner journey of the characters. The drifting, distorted sounds and expansive reverb spaces generate an atmosphere of detachment and reflection. They invite the listener to dive into the recurring patterns of the music, discovering new dimensions of the self that go beyond the ordinary. The music thus becomes a vehicle for emotional and spiritual unfolding.

The warmth, often almost melancholic atmosphere created by Dubtechno is more than just a sonic feature in „The Deep Way“ – it is a narrative dimension. It underscores the sense of inner emptiness while simultaneously highlighting the quest for enlightenment, which forms the core of the series. The characters in „The Deep Way“ undergo processes of transformation, amplified and supported by the electronic music.

It is not only about the sound itself but about the experience: The love for Dubtechno and experimental sounds becomes a metaphysical journey, where music acts as a guide. It invites the listener to question familiar perceptions and concepts and to find a new, deeper connection to the world and to themselves.

„The Deep Way“ is therefore not just a series about music but a journey through the complex world of electronic sounds, in which the love for Dubtechno and experimental sounds forms the foundation for a deeper engagement with the self and the world around us.

Geopard Tourist was formed from a childhood friendship in 2020. Its main driving force is the feeling of rock n roll and the love for catchy but dirty sounds. They played together in several bands before they ended up behind the dj deck. Living in Hungary in the middle of europe they were inspired by lot of types of electronic coming from the west and east as well. Their first official ep arrived in 2022 on Playground Records. The remix for one of the tracks was made by the Australian cosmic sherpa, Dreems, whose more psychedelic sound is also a big influence for them. Their first vinyl release together with turkish Vedat Akdag came out in december titled ‘Little Bag of Hope’ where they start to craft their post rock sound.

The Deep Way #12

Love letter from DJ Chichi 💌

Today is a special day, Chichi brings us flowers and pralines. Everyone who’s heard her play will know what to expect: A variety of well chosen records, played in a fine mixture of vinyl and digital. Nothing less than an hour of deep diving into soundscapes and emotions. A connoisseur set - wrapped with love, with tracks by Dj Plead, Acidfinky, Miles Amillion, David Löhlein and others.

You can almost grasp the concentration seeing Chichi play, leaving a remarkable feeling of seriousness about the craft. That is also what she transports while talking. She feels deeply connected to the scene, being the reason why her and the xcuse:u events are demanding change without just opening another hedonistic space. Having organized the 8-to-the-floor-event at Alte Münze, hosting a show on Refuge Worlwide, having played at OXI, Mensch Meier and our beloved Kiek Beyond Festival, Chichi has become a crucial part of the scene.

In episode 12 of the Visionscast, DJ Chichi moves around through genres and moods, from groovy percussions and vocal samples over deep house to proggy and breaky sections, presenting her whole toolbox of electronic joy. This joy has also reached Visionskultur, which is why Chichi has not only played one of the legendary B2Bs with BBY G at Humboldthain Club for a Visionskultur Club Night or taken over the Nest floor at our festival, but has also evolved to being a very much appreciated and loved human being <3
