▌I What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!
I’m not really into festivals - but Waking Life in Portugal and Paradise City in Belgium seem really nice! As a favorite club, I will name Heideglühen and there are a lot of reasons. Music is the first one, of course, but among others, I can name safety and comfort, and I love that there's always a huge chance to meet someone you know. 

▌II Which artist influenced you a lot?
Lawrence influenced me a lot as a DJ. I can call him one of my favorite DJs. 

▌III What are you missing the most since March 2020?
My parents and my family in general. When the pandemic started, my tickets got canceled just 4 days before the flight. I had a tradition to go to Russia every year in March to celebrate my mother's birthday together with my family. 

I didn't want to put anyone in danger and be a part of the problem. At the beginning of this year, I decided to buy the tickets and finally see the family. I was so happy. On the 24th of February, the war started and it's still going... I'm from a small city in Russia which is very close to Ukraine, the airport in my city is closed, but I also feel quite unsafe when thinking about the idea of going to Russia because of my anti-war and anti-government political opinion.

KEXP - midnight in a perfect world

Kühn b2b Dubtommy [BCR22/05/2025]

We asked friends of Stólar: What kind of music lives inside the Cantilever Desk and Seat Chair by Ben Swildens? 
It looks like a chair.
Feels like a gesture.
Drawn in steel, held in balance —
once a desk in a Paris showroom,
now a memory with weight and rhythm.

Listen to KIM KENIS' answer - our friend from Belgium explores the spirit of this special chair in a manner, no one else could.

Rhythmic Cardiac Arrest

A surge of movement where each spark breathes with radiant force, rising and dissolving in waves of pure momentum. The pulse expands uncontrollably, yet retains a beautiful precision, a balance between chaos and clarity. Energy becomes language: fluid, infinite, and alive in all directions.

Oblivion Veil

2020 is finally coming to an end.. what better chance to use December as a month to reflect on what’s going on in the world and what we learned from it? “What do I have to do to get rid of my anxiety about the future?” is one of the questions which kept the artist behind this year’s December podcast - Soela - busy for quite a while.

Soela is a multi-talented artist hailing from southern Russia who now calls Berlin her home. It is there where she continues to build her presence in the community through her live and DJ sets alongside documenting the local scene and artists through her lens as a photographer. She is an experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely successful transition into electronic music.

Since she took her first footsteps into electronic music, she’s come a long way. In the meantime she produced and released her own music on renowned labels like Detroit Underground, Fauxpas Musik, Shall Not Fade and KOMPAKT. Her productions entail all her musical background knowledge and are hard to put in a box, ranging from downtempo to deep house to techno.

  For Loser Records, Soela crafted this mix from all the tracks she was collecting over the year and even included some of her own productions. Her intention was to summarise all of her feelings and combine them into an one hour long mix of music that she personally loves and listens to extensively.  

To put it into her own words: “I think music from such artists as Efdemin, Leon Vynehall, Hotel Nota, Leafar Legov, and others perfectly reflects my thoughts right now. A bit of melancholy, but still a lot of appreciation to people and this beautiful world, even in such tough times. “

  We could not think of any better way to end this year’s podcast series and say thank you Soela for this wonderful mix and wish you all the best for your future career, once the pandemic has settled.
