After staying for over a week in the ancestral village of Ishola (Hekske’s lover) on the misty slopes of the Ruwenzori Mountains, the witches kissed goodbye to their friendly hosts and continued their flight southwards, following their inner compass. Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) flew over a wide variety of breathtaking landscapes, like the Okavango delta and the thundering Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya). 
While following the Limpopo River, they saw a breathtaking sunset unfold in the west… it was high time to land and find a safe place to spend the night. The witches saw no humans which meant the place was safe. They landed at the foot of a majestic tree, but didn’t have much time to savor the glorious sunset, as a few hungry lions were stealthily approaching them, observing the witches in their long white dresses from close quarter, preparing for a decisive lethal strike. But while looking at the witches, a feeling of tenderness took hold of the lionesses. Instead of attacking, they walked slowly into the direction of the girls, who started to talk with a soft voice to the queens of the jungle. This drew the attention of even more lions and soon they were all lying at the feet of the witches, and Falke played and frolicked with a bunch of lion cubs - who especially loved to play with the girl’s long blond hair (the hair of a young witch is of an indescribable softness). The leader of the pride welcomed the young witches and ordered the other animals to prepare a soft bed of grass for the exhausted girls. And soon the Flemish witches drifted into a blissful sleep in the middle of a circle of lions, whom had never ever experienced a similarly peaceful presence in the plains. 
After a deep, blissful sleep, the witches woke up just before sunrise. Falke quickly realized that the little fluffy thing she was holding tenderly in her arms, was actually a lion cub and when looking around, she saw a lioness watching the two of them with endearment … clearly the cub’s mom. Slowly it dawned to the girl that she had been sleeping in the middle of a circle of lions … easily the best possible protection in the African plains. Despite being far away from her home forest in North-Western Europe, the little witches felt absolutely at ease. They looked around and saw all these wonderful animals roaming on the plains : zebras, antelopes, giraffes and even a herd of elephants in the distance.
A bateleur eagle had spotted the witches and touched down in front of their feet. The girls understood that the bird wanted to take them somewhere and they kissed goodbye to their friends of the lion pride. The eagle flew straight to a nearby forest, and touched down in a clearing where a group of women were waiting for them. These were local witches, but they looked very different from European witches. They were all wearing colorful long clothes. The witches themselves had all kinds of skin colors, ranging from black, brown to white. When Falke said something in Flemish to Hekske, the local witches smiled and started to talk to them in the local Afrikaans language. Hekske and Falke couldn’t believe their ears … this language sounded just like Flemish, but with a more expressive intonation and some funny expressions. They never expected that witches from this part of the world would speak the same language as them. After the welcome hug, the African witches gave an energetic welcome dance, which they would soon teach to their European guests. This place had such a beautiful energy …

Sous le plexus 
Un rêve de Kida, artiste Rêve Général 
@kida-paris

Poème de Olive O, interprétation du set

C'est comme un conte,
Une histoire qu'on chuchote quand les paupières s'enlacent 
Un murmure que l'on entends parfois quand on tends l'oreille aux forêts et aux pierres mouillées. 
 

C'est un mouvement qui s'éveille
Comme une vague qui prend forme quelque part entre le cœur et le poumons
Quelque chose qui respire pour nous
malgré nous 

--

C'est un cri qu'on ne dis pas où alors seulement avec le corps 
C'est une libération qui s'exprime, une justice qu'on se donne, une liberté que l'on se grave dans la peau à la nuit tombée 


C'est des mondes fantastiques et des jours meilleurs qu'on entrevois dans les interstices, quand l'ordre établi est allé se coucher, et qu'il ne reste que les résistantes au milieu des lumières qui clignotent  et du jour qui se lève 

--

C'est le bruit des frontières qui s'estompent et des réalités qui basculent. Une ligne qu'on gomme entre la fiction et la réalité, mais as t elle seulement un jour existé. 


C'est des peurs qui s'évanouissent dans la nuit, la brume et la musique, des découvertes qu'on fait sur soi quand personne ne regarde, et qu'on collectionne dans une boîte rangée sous le plexus. 

--

C'est une cabane perchée dans les cimes de notre inconscient, et qui se rit des tempêtes et des orages car elle parle aux nuages et est un refuge pour nos cœurs épuisés. 

C'est un songe qu'on a oublié d'oublier, une fois éveillé
Une image rémanente faite d'échos bizarres et doux que certaines appellent des rêves et que moi j'appelle de l'espoir

MONADA BRAHMA 026 : Mikal Aton : Decide To Life

Our dear Berlin based sound wizard Mikal, shaped a colorful MONADA BRAHMA 026 which will magically revive our mandatory paused bodys and revitalize us with his rhythmic sounds. 
We met Mikal the first time a couple of years ago at one of the legendary Spitzi garden parties for Berlin big kids. ;) It's been a crazy and fun weekend filled with amazing music acts, free spirits and lovely souls.. just like Mikal himself who nourished us there with a spontaneous bum shaking and deep driving downtempo set. 
The DJ and vinyl lover who always finds ways to excite and heat up the lively dance floors for Berlin's sweetest fairies & craziest unicorns, loves to surf the outer spaces of deep, organic and elegant grooving sound waves, chasing eclectic tracks and sweet melodies that empower our inner dancer and let our soul spread its wings to fly into the mysterious and unexplored.

Mikal's cover art is provided by Radka Tiarksova and her visionairy art project Radka Soulart. We believe that a combination of different styles of art will allow our senses to expand, feel & see the whole picture within. The name of this beautiful piece is 'Decide To Life'.
And that's the key message of this chapter – Decide to life - no matter what the world comes up with, don't forget life and its preciousness. Don't let yourself be distracted from the game and concentrate tirelessly on your dreams. Let's keep life alive in all it's facetts & colorfulness - that's the true mission!

Mikal: „I`m a plant wizard and DJ from Berlin. I like a wide spectrum of sounds. I listened to many kinds of music even before I was born. That was also the time I quit drugs and music remained my only one. I enjoyed it a lot to do the Monada Mix (Thanks heaps to the Monada tribe for having me and keeping me up ;). I planned the mix as a foggy downtempo one, but the flow took me continuously towards one for the dancing feet. Hope much u will enjoy it.
Love & Upps“

MONADA BRAHMA 026 | Mikal Aton | Decide To Life

Proudly presenting our first BeYond music podcast:

@landhouse begins our journey beyond the ordinary tangible space we call reality.

It is an honour and a privilege to have him with us from the start, sharing with you his absolute otherworldly, fine and deeply soul driven music. In this specially crafted BeYond mix - Landhouse incorporates both old material revised and some fresh tunes.

Many layers for your emotional body, tingling the soft spots of your choice. A journey that brings your heart closer to the hips. This mix is stunning, extraordinary and mystical: with a pinch of sundowner and poetry for the soul.

A spring tale charmingly shivering through and out of the heaviness of winter, stagnation and the seemingly everlasting dystopian comedy which we find ourselves in these days.

BeYond begins with Landhouse, where the sun kisses the forest and the wind lifts your feet. Our deep urge for collective mingling and dancing in absolute clarity and tender touch is portrayed.

His set is a medicine that guides you within. It is balm for the core of your heart. A window into the other side. Today. Tomorrow. Yesterday. A trinity of melodies that carry you on floating ships beyond the possible.

Enjoy the journey and take your time.
But take it.
