It’s been 3 weeks, and I’m still vibrating - still a little incredulous about playing live at Kater Blau, a venue that has been on my bucket list since it was still called Kater Holzig. It’s home to so many great artists I admire, a place that has long extended its magic beyond Berlin’s borders, and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to fill it with my music. 

I’ve been thinking about putting my live set together for a long time, so when the opportunity to premier it at Kater knocked on my door, it was crunch time. 2 months to conceptualize, dissect, render, rehearse - most of that time was spent on figuring out what doesn’t work. Many times I thought about changing to a DJ-Set instead, but ultimately, and last minute as always, I got to a point where I felt comfortable enough to take it out of my little garage studio here in Brooklyn all the way to my home country’s capital. 

These two hours on the Heinz Hopper floor went by lightning fast, and it all feels a little dreamlike still. Of course it wouldn’t be a live set without a few hiccups here and there (see if you can spot my „launching a whole scene, instead of just one clip“-mistake in the early part of the set haha), but I think that’s what makes it come alive in the first place. I learned so much from this experience, and got back to my studio/garage with plenty of ideas on how to grow from here. I want this to be a malleable work-in-progress, evolving together with me - unique, non-repeatable, moment-capturing, responsive, alive. 

Thank you to everyone to came out and got hot and sweaty with me on the hottest weekend in Berlin, literally and figuratively. A warm welcome indeed.
Thanks to all the artists who were involved in this event - you inspire me, you make me push myself, you made this weekend one for the books!
Thanks of course to @kater_blau - everyone was so welcoming, easy-going - so much love in this place. 
Thanks to @janosch-ulm for a smooth soundcheck and for turning it up.

And THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to @caleesi and @sarahkreis - without you I wouldn’t write this post. Thanks for your support, your artistic input, your endless drive to make magic happen. I’m so glad I met you and to be able to call you my friends.

This was hands down the most special party of the year. We didn't plan to upload this recording but the vibe was just outstanding at Acid Bogen so we couldn't resist. Thank you so much to the lovely Mira for trusting us once again, we love you and we loved playing this set on our favourite floor, in our favourite club, in our home town of Berlin. To all the ravers who went down the rabbit hole with us - thanks for creating this moment together with us even though the dance floor was so packed! Nights like this remind us why we do what we do. 
Much love
C&S

What we need now - maybe more than ever - is love. Not the image of love that we often carry around in clichés, but love in its true essence, its inescapable core. We need love in a radical way that unfolds its strength precisely in its fragile vulnerability, is aware of its fallibility and is therefore committed to the process and growth. A love that places the WE and not the EGO at the center of its actions. In other words, a love that is aware of its social and political responsibility, is active and wants to shape and heal. 
Imagine a world immersed in this love, in which we use all our knowledge, our skills and our wisdom for the benefit of all and not to maximize profit. 
In this spirit and full of love, I now share this summer memory with you. It was a hot dream on an august night at the Garbicz Festival. But whoever comes to action after dreaming creates new realities. So my biggest thanks go to all those who have supported me in making this dream come true. 

Wherever you are and however you spend these next few days, be good to yourselves and to each other and don't forget the paradises we can create together when we unite instead of divide. 

Always love, 
Your Alma

Wild Geese - Alma Linda & The Rainbows @ GARBICZ 24

There is a quiet optimism running through Umarga’s SEEKK EP, even as the drums stay scuffed and the bass keeps its teeth. The title track rides clipped electro percussion and a low, rubbery line, but the synths open like a window, letting in a little dawn air. This mixture of classic vibes and electro's unique vision for the future mark this record out as something a little special.

Capacity tightens the groove into something more skeletal and direct, a drum tool that hums with feeling around the edges. Snappy Snaps finds swagger in negative space, all dry hits and a bass line that wouldn't feel out of place on a Larry Heard record. This track nudges the floor forward without shouting but also without rest. 5loWs is the thick and textured slowdown, the afterglow, chords blooming over a steady pulse that feels almost idm.

Across four cuts, Umarga keeps the pressure high and the arrangement subtle, but never loses sight of small human details. It is dirty, yes, but the dirt catches the light to complete the texture. Out October 24, 2025 on Circuit Grooves.

PREMIERE: Umarga - Snappy Snaps [Circuit Grooves]

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Nach all den Brettern, die die Welt bedeuten, packt der Herr mit Stimmband und Synthie heute seine Plattenkiste für Luises kleinen Hobbykeller. Legt euch auf den Läufer, denn Monolink​ bleibt auf dem Teppich, sitzend wie der Kopfschmuck, der alles wieder gerade rückt.

In diesem Sinne: Jazz, Jazz, Jazz.

Late Autumn

I'm so lucky to have been able to play twice at Fusion this year <3
Here is my second set at Panne Eichel/Bachstelzen floor on Monday for the afterhour, after the Dutch sweethearts Yor Kultura and before the one and only Mimi Love.
It's a huge honour to play at Bachstelzen and I'm very grateful to Michi aka. Madmotormiquel for giving me the chance to play at my favourite floor, with so many friends, peers and smiling faces. Thank you so much! :)

Love love love,
C.

Thank you Garbicz!  

No words can express the madness that overcame us all that day at Seebühne, but we’re going to try anyway because that doesn’t happen every day :)  

All hands up, hundreds of smiles and goosebumps and giggles all around us. It was a magical kind of madness that we shared with so many people, and we just wanted to say thank you to those who were there for creating this insane vibe with us. 

Special shout out to the ravers out there who started the flash mob. That was epic <3 

Love, C & S

Gemütlich und gemächlich schallt es aus dem Speaker. 
Mit Superleckerlis im Gepäck verpasst uns Gina eine gediegene Schelle nach der Anderen. Geflasht von den sanften, akustischen Backpfeiffen, spacen wir völlig weg und fühlen uns wie am Ostende auf der Slowereastside. Wem das noch nicht genug ist, kann gerne noch ne Afterhour mit dran hängen, passt nämlich vom Sound her.

Danke @gina-sabatini <3

We had the honor to play the closing at the little festival 'Zu einer Zeit... in Gardelegen' organized by Plattenfreunde Neukölln in early summer 2017
We found this forgotten beauty on my hard drive and thought it's a good moment to share these good memories with you <3
Happy Easter to everybody!

If we think of those magical moments out on the dance floor, what likely comes to mind is that moment when the DJ and the crowd find each other in a rare kind of symbiotic balance of give and take. If you see this happening between two DJs it becomes obvious that two of a kind have found one another.
Those who love this kind of confluence will adore watching Mira and Chris Schwarzwalder doing
what they do best; playing back to back.
Having influenced the East‐German techno scene throughout the last twenty years, Mira established her musical home in Berlin’s legendary Bar25. There, she shaped her very own unique sound that can be considered as a story of these endless nights full of intensity.
Bar25 was also the place for her to meet DJ and producer Chris Schwarzwalder. Moving from his Hip Hop­‐roots towards electronic music, it was not by accident that Chris followed the beat of time to Berlin.
Anyone who has experienced their endless sets already understand why Berliners speak of the particular sound being created by both of them.
A soulful, mesmerizing sound that you will sense sinking under your skin and leaving you with a feeling of deep warm­‐heartedness.
What happens is the perfect chemistry of classic mixing skills along with ingenious live productions that really deserve to be called a moving experience.
All of their styles and sounds can, not only be discovered live behind the decks, but also on prosperous vinyl and digital releases.
