This is my set on the @ Extravaganza Floor @ Fusion Festival
Sorry for the technical issues at the beginning, you can hear nothing happens after the first track... the mixer died and we needed to change. it took me a while to do that: 
But then we managed thanks to the technician. And thanks to the crowd, my friends and Family dancing through that heavy rain. 
I did not expect anyone to stay... :)

It was a fucking blast.Thanks thanks and big love. 

And a huge thanks to all of the crew from Extravaganza for creating this magical Floor

Defying the norms of chaos and driven by the hedonistic old sounds of hypnotic & industrial techno YET ï  is an unknown scape that’s looking to set ascending graphs in this current alternative music phenomenon. His ideas and his creativity has influenced from a wide range of spectrums that are mystical, unknown alike to his personal way of being. His sounds transcends the listeners into a space of unknown yet known like the character YET ï  i.e is very much alive in the snow clad mountains but not to be seen but when around his massive presence of energies are felt. His influences of creating dark, raw and abrasive soundscapes are absorbed from his love for the city of Berlin and its history with electronic music, typically getting his audiences into his own scape of dark, dirty sweaty techno. Y E T ï delivers magnetic and tranquillising sound each time he sets his    ‘Big Foot’ on the console.

SNAGCAST 002 - ARIEL

Stell dir vor du suchst ne Nadel im Heuhaufen - und der Heuhaufen liegt irgendwo inner Wüste.🌵 

Stampede zwischen emotionalen Durchmacherinnen und Sonntagsticketfrischi's. Im Endeffekt eh perfekt - denn ich freu mich euch endlich den heterogensten Setauflauf meiner Musikzeit aufzutischen. Irgendwo zwischen Gefühl und Abriss liegt dieser ganz persönliche Happy Place. Erste Stunde: Abriss. Zweite Stunde: Emotion.

& so pipapo 10 Jahre nach meiner allerersten Fusion kann ich immer noch kaum fassen, dass beinahe alle keken Cuties die mich so lange nun schon durch die Musik begleiten zu so einer unchristlichen Uhrzeit auf dem Acker zum Sektfrühstück warn - Ich lieb euch alle so unendlich doll.

Very special Thanks an meine Süßmaus @francis_ff fürs Intro einsingen, an @vonspazier für die geilen Wüstenvibes in den ersten 1,5min, an @andys-echo für den ersten Bangertrack, und an @buchneroberst & @seebo1 für die letzten zwei (bei denen ich selbst ganz schön weinen musste). Und an @soerioesqrios, @djockelt, @hhaller & @sinamin_sound für die geile umsorgung davor & danach!

Never forget this Wüstenride <3

Fusion Festival 2025
Tanzwüste - Sonntag 10-12am

Dickes Danke ans Südpol für euer vertrauen 🤌🏼

☆ Ciao 3lla @ Fusion 25 // Tanzwüste Sunday Closing <3

this set is just like me. it’s far from perfect. it’s colorful, chaotic, wild. sometimes it’s too loud, sometimes too silent. sometimes you think: huh? then maybe again: oh, how lovable.
yes i know, i maybe waited a bit too long to upload it. the hype around the fusion sets is slowly dying down. like always, i compared myself (and my set) to all the others and i thought it's not even good enough to upload. nor special enough.

what actually was special and means much more to me than this recording was the set itself. the two hours full of love and ecstasy in the blazing sunday-afternoon sun on what is (for me) the most beautiful stage of the festival. extravaganza :)) i'm forever thankful for this experience.

thank you, dear moynfestival crew, for making that possible.
thank you to all my amazing friends who supported me before, during, and after my set. really, i almost cried when i saw so many friends and old acquaintances somewhere in the middle of my always smiling crowd 🧡
thank you metatext for creating my extravant intro. 
thank you to all the producers whose tracks i used in this set.
thank you also to all the producers whose tracks i didn’t use. i received sooo many great unreleased tracks and would have loved to give everyone a platform 🫶 
and finally, thank you to all the people who helped me master & upload my set. i don’t even deserve that much help! :D

LOVE U
