Mila Stern - Station Endlos - New Era

The word "festival" was originally used as an adjective from the late fourteenth century, deriving from Latin via Old French. In Middle English, a "festival dai" was a religious holiday. It's first recorded used as a noun was in 1589 (as "Festifall"). Feast first came into usage as a noun circa 1200, and its first recorded use as a verb was circa 1300. The term "feast" is also used in common secular parlance as a synonym for any large or elaborate meal. When used as in the meaning of a festival, most often refers to a religious festival rather than a film or art festival. In the Philippines and many other former Spanish colonies, the Spanish word fiesta is used to denote a communal religious feast to honor a patron saint. The word gala comes from Arabic word khil'a, meaning robe of honor. The word gala was initially used to describe "festive dress", but came to be a synonym of festival starting in the 18th century.
A festival is an event ordinarily celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or cultures.
The music festival emerged in England in the 18th century as an extension of urban concert life into a form of seasonal cultural festivity structured around a schedule of music performances or concerts. It is generally an annually occurring event with more regular and extensive programming than more spontaneous or improvised forms of music festivity. Music festivals are generally organized by individuals or organizations within networks of music production, typically music scenes, the music industries, or institutions of music education. The music festival is the largest and one of the most important performance institutions in music life, a place for experiencing where the culture is at.
I had a real festival feeling at this year's Wilde Möhre festival after quite some time playing at the Puppenräuber Stage at the Maskenball edition Friday night. Thank you, to all the dancers!

Finally @mira_kater could celebrate her infamous (un-)birthday party at @kater_blau again. I was lucky enough to play right after her on Sunday afternoon at Heinz Hopper at 44,5 Ersatz Katzern tanzen auf'm Tisch.

Friday morning 8.30 am I played the set I was the most nervous before ever - at Fusion festival - the mother of Festivals on the mighty Tanzwüste floor 🚀 💃🏻 🏜 After half an hour it began to rain but most of the crowd stayed and when the sun came out again the floor was super crowded ☔️ ☀️ I even played half an hour longer as planned. It was so nice to see so many friends from different places and times of my life. A big thank you to all my friends and all the strangers who shared the three hours of sweaty dancing with me. Thank you Tanzwüste crew for the stage and taking such good care of me!

My perfect first Nation of Gondwana

I always knew I would fall in love with you if I ever met you but somehow I still waited until now, dear Nation of Gondwana. When the booking came in I was blown away - even more because it was to play on the incredible Wiese floor.

So my first NOG looked like that: after arriving at home from a night at another festival my artist shuttle came just in time. I arrived at the festival site only 10 minutes before my playtime. So I went directly from the artist check in on stage and I was kind of shocked about the incredible sound, thousands of faces and the whole vibe. 

I played and it was so so nice to see so many friends and also so many friendly strangers having the best time together. I will never ever forget these 2,5 hours. I stayed at the festival site until Monday early morning and since I came home I still float on a cloud... I still wait for my voice to come back, too :)

Thank you to everyone who works at / for the Nation of Gondwana and especially Julia, Laura, Melissa, Friedel, Fleisch, Toschi & Esther, Vica.... who made my Realitätsflucht possible + everyone I spent time with!

I recorded this set at my last gig at the old location of the infamous @distillery-leipzig - a club close to my heart since this is one of the places where I learned how to rave. The Distillery is the oldest clubs in eastern Germany. Playing there is always so much fun for me - I love the crowd and the sound and the vibe and I was happy to get the opportunity to wave goodbye to the old location at the easter weekend. I'm looking forward to checking out the new location soon(-ish).

I decided to upload the recording of my set at Bucht der Träumer since I fell in love with this festival. I am really happy I was invited to play at the Porto Loco stage early Saturday morning. I began playing in the darkness of the night and finished when the sun came up ( #kitsch ) in front of some friends and many strangers. When I turned around I saw a huge engine, the lake and one or the other lonely rubber duck floating around ( #surreal ).

As every year one of my besties (Mira) celebrated her birthday at Kater Blau. 42 Katzen tanzen auf'm Tisch. 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈💃🏻 I am very happy I was invited to play at this famous party the 4th time. I am even more happy to have her as a bestie to travel together, to have ice cream on sunny days, to have tea on grey days, to have coffee on all days and that she gives me a kick in the pants when I need it ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤💖

Recording of the Marshmallow Roasting Workshop
photo: @mira_kater

I recorded my workshop about roasting marshmallows at the beach at the Bucht der Träumer holiday camp last weekend. Leading this workshop was by far a highlight of the last months and I am very grateful that some of the people I've shared the worst moments of 2020 together were there to roast some marshmallows with me. We had to interrupt the workshop a few times to remind everyone to wear a mask. The announcements were not recorded so I cut out the blank spots. Go, visit the startnext campaign of the Bucht der Träumer Festival so we can dance there next year again!

On a Sunday afternoon on Ocotber 25th  the Tunnel floor at Sisyphos was introduced to me. The three hours I spent there were among the best I had this year. Thank you to all the masked dancers! I took many mental photos of the great moments we shared. i will need these to survive the next months without going completely insane.
