Sydka - Lust (Paul Valentin Remix)

Ich wollte es diesmal langsamer angehen. Naja... hat eher semi gut geklappt würde ich sagen. 
Der erste Track hat mich diesmal ziemlich gut abgeholt und hat mich mit einer Schwofgeschwindigkeit von 105 BPM, runtergedrosselt und mit viel Platz zwischen den Schlägen des Basses, in einen Bann gezogen, der den Mainfloor im Module ziemlich schnell gefüllt und angeheizt hat.
Alles war vereint und der Sound, die Energie, die Menschen haben alles perfekt gemacht. Danke und tusend takk!!!

Danke Module, danke an euch.

We're happy to welcome the talented Live Duo of the guacamolebois from Switzerland to Rebellion der Träumer with their "Phew" EP! 
Their sound is as intricate and thought through as it is groovy and hypnotizing. The two tracks are a perfect sonic illustration of their unique ability to craft organic and complex downtempo tracks that are sure to keep a dancefloor floating on their waves of lush synth melodies and rich instrumentation.

The two musicians from Basel enrich their hybrid DJ sets with live instrumentation ranging from guitars to bongos, saxophone and live vocals.

The two track EP is out on October 17th on all stores.

Ektoplast presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 309

The extremely talented French downbeat producer Ektoplast has been with us since his beginnings, or rather since his first releases saw the light of day. Back then at Talpa Rec., he immediately captivated listeners with his deep, room-filling sound. Add to that the velvety soft but emphatic beat. We could therefore easily imagine a special Afterhour Sounds mixtape. It was really easy to get Clément excited about the idea. But contrary to our expectations, he was determined to record a special micro house-style mixtape for us. Reduced to the essentials, but rich in detail and full of hypnotic moments. Hmm, that sounds good, we thought as a team. And now it's seeing the light of day. Thank you, Clément, for daring to try something new. If it's after-hours, then this is definitely the place to be.
Attached, of course, is our short but sweet interview.

<<<<INTERVIEW>>>>

✔️ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?
Growing up with music-loving parents and four older brothers who are musicians, I was exposed to a wide variety of musical styles from an early age. I dreamed of becoming a professional drummer, and I even imagined starting a stoner/jazz band with two drummers, so I spent my entire childhood studying the instrument, along with music theory, analysis, and other musical subjects.
Later, I discovered electronic music on my own, outside of this family environment, and immediately immersed myself in it, captivated by the infinite possibilities of timbres and textures. This passion eventually led me to dedicate myself to it and to study composition at the conservatory for many years, which profoundly shaped my ear.
Now, when it comes to my daily listening, and if I had to choose just two genres, they would be folk and ambient — two very different worlds that both touch me on a deep level.

✔️ What makes a good “afterhour”?

A moment suspended in time, wrapped in a serene atmosphere, also well surrounded, and, of course, carried by music that keeps everything euphoric : a smooth & gentle in-between. Oh, and if possible, a nice sunrise


✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

First podcast above 120 bpm I’ve done in years — and I had so many tracks I wanted to play! I would’ve needed at least 3 or 4 hours, maybe soon… but here it is: 60 minutes of deep, dubby, micro-groovy house, or call it whatever you want. Hope you’ll enjoy it! And many thanks Afterhour for the invitation :)

If something’s strange in your neighbourhood — who you gonna call?
Yes, there’s a hotline for things like that: Hotline Bikadi picks up the call.
24/7, 420 a day, reachable from every telegraph of the underworld,
spinning the night creature through a ravy swamp,
with fluorescent bass and slightly toxic sweetness✨

Creatures crawling, walking, talking, falling, howling in the night —
nothing more tight than this EP full of spooky delight.
They slither through the swampy frequencies,
half groove, half goo-goo👹

The creatures don’t rest — they molt,
they multiply in the sub-bass,
they shimmer between euphoria and entropy.
One howls, one hums — both bite back2back👁

Creatures crawling, walking, talking, falling, howling in the night —
nothing more tight than this EP full of spooky delight.
They slither through the swampy frequencies,
half groove, half goo-goo👹

By day or by dark, in light or in fog —
they stumble, sway, and shimmy — shimmy yaaaa, shimmy yay!
Drunk on distortion and moonlit delay🌪

These are the Creatures in the Night and Creatures in the Light —
siblings of the swamp, orbitologists with a muddy addiction,
feeding on ecstatic basslines and wobbling goblins👺

But don’t be afraid...
ANGST vor GRETA appears — dissecting the light creature,
turning it inside out, and outside in,
over and out-out — check the cloud!☁️

If something’s strange in your neighbourhood — who you gonna call?
Yes, there’s a hotline for things like that: Hotline Bikadi picks up the call.
24/7, 420 a day, reachable from every telegraph of the underworld,
spinning the night creature through a ravy swamp,
with fluorescent bass and slightly toxic sweetness✨

The creatures don’t rest — they molt,
they multiply in the sub-bass,
they shimmer between euphoria and entropy.
One howls, one hums — both bite back2back👁

So keep your lights dim and your volume high —
because once they start crawling through your cortex,
there’s nothing left but light in the night,
feeling bright and tight at the same time⏳

Creatures in the Night

2Mult • Creatures in the Night (Original Mix) • [KRUG020]

Release: Should I?
Artist: Tlazohtla ft. R3NATA
Label: MŎNɅDɅ
Cat-No.: MND099
Release Date: 2025-10-31

➟ Download/Stream: go.protonrad.io/rlD9KG0b2RnLE
➟ Beatport: beatport.com/de/release/should-i/5516155
➟ Bandcamp: https://monadaproject.bandcamp.com/album/should-i

With our fresh "SHOULD I? EP", we once again open the doors for all dancers, dreamers, and time travelers alike. And this time, we’re thrilled to warmly welcome "Tlazohtla" & "R3NATA" - the creators and curators of the original track & this sonic ceremony.

For this whole musical spectacle, a wonderfully vibrant constellation of artists gathered to weave their frequencies into one pulsating ritual. Familiar monadic companions and fresh creative spirits joined forces - "Tlazohtla" & "R3NATA" brought in "Rodrigo AM", "dramasquad", and "Matija & Rich", forming a collective full of color, depth, and drive.

Fueled by passion and sonic courage, each track emerged as its own unique voyage - self-contained yet inviting to all who listen. Every beat feels like an open gate: because with these tracks, there’s no “Should I?” - there’s only GO. Let’s dive in, no hesitation, no overthinking - just movement, feeling, and flow. . .

“Stop thinking, start feeling --- life’s simple !"

Sometimes the best things unfold when we stop questioning and start trusting. When we move instead of pause. When we live instead of think about living.

Emotional yet grounded, raw yet refined, every interpretation channels a deep sense of storytelling - reminding us to trust our own visions, stay loyal to what moves us, and just do the damn thing without getting lost in doubt.

And since music always speaks louder than words - let’s hit PLAY, get swept away, and lose ourselves in this sound together.

See you in the melody!

Tlazohtla - Should I? ft. R3NATA (dramasquad Remix)

We are happy to have the wonderful @kaybeeats with her set from Sanctuary Sessions bringing us the deepest depth of downtempo!
Enjoy!

Serafin Sinfonia OP. 117 - kayḆe - Sanctuary Sessions

Zwischen 103 und 105 BPM bewegt sich dieses Set durch dunklen, organischen Sound – gespielt bei der wohl knarzigsten Veranstaltung Hamburgs.

Im Turtur, einem Ort, an dem Töne Zeit bekommen, sich zu entfalten.
Irgendwo zwischen dunklem Organic House und knarzendem Downtempo.

Tiefe, warme Texturen schaffen Weite, während rollende Basslines nach vorne ziehen.
Der Anfang ist ruhig, fast zurückhaltend – Schicht für Schicht wächst Energie, bis sich Bewegung von selbst ergibt.
Musik, die nicht anschiebt, sondern mitnimmt.


Knarzig - Tiefdruckgebiet im Turtur
