Sultry midtempo/deep house

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome @holosoundnyc

Holosound (aka Alex Fish) is a DJ/Producer from NYC that’s been at it since 2004. The past decade+ has seen him dot the globe with appearances in over 23 countries, every major city in the US and release records and remixes on labels like Nurvous, HNQO’s Playperview, Glasgow Underground and (a long time ago) Ultra.

His sound has evolved over the years but has always maintained a subversively sexy vibe that’s built atop a bed of low slung deep and afro house with a sweet spot for melodic techno.  Notable gigs in the last few years include Gazgolder in Moscow, D-Edge in Sao Paolo, Tulum, Helsinki, Rio De Janeiro, Dubai, Toronto, Bogota, Kazantip festival for Flying Circus, London, Medellin, Panama City, San Jose Costa Rica, Quito, Piknic Électronik in Montreal as well as appearances at Burning Man for Robot Heart and many more.

He is a resident of the talented Bespoke Musik crew and when in New York can often be found playing for their events or at the newly reopened Gospel in Soho. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Holosound [Journey Series]

In aller Seelenruhe lasse ich mich durch den Club treiben. Ziellos verweile ich hier, dann mal dort. Um mich voll und ganz auf die Stimmung einlassen zu können, schließe ich meine Augen. Ich verschmelze mit der Menschenmenge um mich herum und wir fusionieren zu einer einzigen, feiernden Masse. Während wir so dahin wogen registriere ich eine Anomalie. Irgendjemand- oder etwas holt mich aus der Masse heraus, zurück zum Dasein eines Individuums. Ich fühle mich von dieser Präsenz wie magisch angezogen und gehe dem Impuls nach. Dann sehe ich sie. Langsam aber sicher führt mich mein Weg durch die Menge zu ihr. Wir tanzen mit- und nebeneinander, wortlos. Jedes Mal wenn sich unsere Hände berühren, steht die Zeit für einen kurzen Augenblick still. Ich habe sie noch nie zuvor gesehen, doch sie kommt mir so bekannt und vertraut vor. Trotz dieser vielversprechenden Umstände spreche ich sie nicht an. Ich genieße einfach nur ihre Gegenwart, ihr schönes Erscheinungsbild und meine Gedankenwelt. Irgendwann endet der Moment und sie verschwindet in der Menge. Ein wenig enttäuscht über die ausgebliebene verbale Kommunikation, suche ich meine Freunde. 
Ich würde schon gern wissen wer sie ist … Werden die unbekannte Schöne und ich uns irgendwann Wiedersehen?

Julya Karma ist heute auf KataHaifisch zu Gast. Aktuell lebt sie ihren Traum in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, genauer gesagt in New York City. Von dort aus tourt sie als DJ durch die Welt, produziert eigene Musik und genießt die Freuden des Lebens. Bereits im Alter von 6 Jahren begann Julya Karma mit dem Klavierspiel. Seitdem begleitet sie die Musik und das musizieren durch alle Etappen ihrer Biografie. In ihren Eigenproduktionen erzählt sie Geschichten über das Leben und über das Geschenk des Seins. Dabei kombiniert sie Elemente aus den unterschiedlichsten Subgenres und kreiert ihren individuellen, doch universal verständlichen Sound. 
Nun viel Spaß mit dem neuen Set von Julya Karma, welches das Beste aus alt und neu miteinander vereint. 

Dankeschön <3

Leyl Master Black Proton Radio Guest Mix

⧚⧚⧚ ΛＦＲ♢ＴＲΛＣΞ ⧛⧛⧛ The art of mood setting!

Recorded live at Members, on May 27th, 2022 playing alongside our dear Sarkis Mikael. 
Let yourself immersed into a journey of Middle Eastern sounds, tribal percussions and hypnotic indie dance tunes. 
A journey of self discovery through sound, emotion and movement.

If in this mirror it is your reflection you seek, 
You must go beyond.
What is it you are looking for
behind the glassy pools of your eyes?
Clarity,
Inspiration,
Love and purpose?

Within you
Within me
There lies a connection, 
each of our selfs enchanted by the music into limitless being

If you truly seek the answers, let us dance with our reflections,
and observe the slow melt into collective energy moving in the mirror.

Our next podcast comes from @magicianonduty. 

Magician on Duty is well known as a curator for both his successful Organic House label and his lovingly selected podcast series. He represents a new wave of supporting artists and projects that manifest a desire to incorporate other influences, moods and genres rather than explore the limited terrain of what’s already been established. 

Words can’t describe how happy and honoured we are to announce his contribution to the Easy Tiger “Striped” podcast series. He asked to give a lion tiger stripes to represent the stormy energy of his well selected musical journey. Close your eyes and let yourself drift with the pulsating waves of Magician on Duty <3

MY GIFT TO YOU ALL ON THIS GREAT DAY...

Love Yourself

Light will someday split you open
Even if your life is now a cage,

For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,
Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain
You hold the title to.

Love will surely bust you wide open
Into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy

Even if your mind is now
A spoiled mule.

A life-giving radiance will come,
The Friend's gratuity will come

O look again within yourself,
For I know you were once the elegant host
To all the marvels in creation.

	- Hafiz

Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?

Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.

Flow down and down
in always widening rings of being.

	- Rumi

Recorded live at the Skyway Love gathering in the Oakland Hills. February 11, 2017. Beaucoup new material I sourced for this mix, much of it from a playlist I compiled for two dear friends exquisite celebration of union a month ago.  Yours in light and love ...

Open (live February 2017)

A couple of years ago, I played at an event in Flagstaff called Innerspace. This installment of the event was called InnerDimensions. I really like the Innerspace theme, and it caused me to think deeply about individuality, interrelation, solitude, introspection, and presence. I assembled a batch of music for crafting a heady and introverted journey into the self, a return to source. It was a very memorable event, with a dancing crowd and a great vibe, and we all had fun – but I also encountered some nifty technical difficulties, which disrupted my flow, limited the tracks that I could play, and diminished what I had *really* meant to do - which later got me thinking even more…

There are many substantial interactions and opportunities in life that one must get right the first time, and not so many that can be corrected and crafted over time. What can be accomplished when practice can be made perfect? What if there were as much space and time and understanding as needed to say the right thing at the right time, with a clear message of truth and integrity? What if there were the opportunity to get things right a second or third time? What if more people took the time to learn and understand themselves and others, and saw eye to eye? What could people heal and communicate and accomplish with maximal self-awareness? What if I just remade the Innerspace set with all the music I had wanted to play, and made it into something much more?

This recording is for thinkers, doers, and dreamers. It is for answering one’s own questions and solving one’s own problems. It is for those who value substance over status, actively listen, and don’t look gifts from the heart in the mouth. It is for those who like to go deep within, and hang out there. It is for innovators, collaborators, fine-tuners, forward thinkers, unsung heroes, and lifelong friends.  It is for those who revel in well-crafted music, and well-crafted life. It is for adventurous road trips and dancing around in your living room. It is still flawed, still human - but still precise and specific. It is more as it was meant to be the first time.

Every one of us is an individual, and a continual work in progress. One must know and experience oneself to grow and achieve, with mind in the big picture, eyes on the past, present, and future, and heart in the right place. One has to look deep inside of things to know their true value, and then great gratitude comes.

I've been on a substantial inward journey for a few years now. I recommend it. Massive thanks and love to all friends and family, for being there with and for me over all these years.
