Downtempo

Deep Forest

Since "Downtempo" is still misunderstood as "Organic House" or even Chill Out, that is not made for dancing, this is a little reminder from @iorie about what Downtempo is and contains even a little tutorial in how to move your body to it! Enjoy!

Summer is flying by and it's time for our next compilation again. This time we have put together a large selection of artists for you whose sound we have been liking lately.

Downtempo is a very diverse music genre with many different styles and directions. As always, we want to address all these influences we like with our compilation and bring them under one roof. So there should be something for everyone on this release, whether to chill out on an open air or inside in the fog of the night.

We are very grateful to have represented so many different and talented musicians on our label and we would like to thank all artists involved. Especially our Mastering Engineer Haunted Water & Kilian Van De Water for the gorgeous Artwork again.

We are enormously stoked to close this exhilarating year with an equally exhilarating release.

Sydka debuted on MŎNɅDɅ with his massive track ""Night Creed"" as we closed last year's chapter with PɅRŎUSIɅ IV V/Ʌ. Followed by his equally loved and successful track ""Halcyon"" which found its place on the label shortly after. His sound is unmistakable and is able to open up new spheres within the versatile downtempo genre. Sydkas productions are to the point, crisp and with a deep groove. Whoever has heard him once, will recognize him again and again.

Dark Hill comes with 3 Originals and has been enhanced with remixes from Nada, Urem, Rubén Coslada and Katabtu, which stylistically underline the release skillfully and are on a par with the originals in the finest way.

We're soul happy to have this talented artist with his groundbreaking sound script back on our side and are equally grateful for the stunning company of remixers on Dark Hill. We can't wait to have that sick sounds swirling us potently through the holidays & new years eve.

____________________________________________________________
So langsam reicht es dann jetzt auch mit dem Winter; eben noch die ersten Sonnenstrahlen durch jede mögliche Körperzone inhaliert, grüßen uns dann doch noch mal kurz ein paar eisige Temperaturen. Nichtsdestotrotz sitzen wir schon tief in den Plänen für den kommenden Sommer.
Einige von euch dürfen sich freuen, auf das, was so kommen mag. - Was meinen die da bloß? -

Aber ganz entspannt, erst einmal wollen wir gemeinsam mit Arkadiusz aus dem wunderschönen Spessart, DJ & Curator von Afterhour-Sounds, ne ausgiebige Runde auf unserem Karussell drehen. 
Den meisten wird er durch seine fein abgestimmten, fluiden Sets ein Begriff sein, mit denen er uns schon seit einigen Jahren beglückt. Viele verbinden eher Downtempo mit ihm, doch auch unter dem Begriff „Hypnodance“ lässt er mal eine etwas andere, schnellere und auch deepe, gefühlvolle Seite raus. Wer sich davon überzeugen lassen will, sollte sich unbedingt den Mitschnitt von seinem kürzlichen Ausflug in der Waldschänke Dornheim reinziehen – grandios!

Nun, aber hier und heute gibt es wie gewohnt einen sehr harmonischen Mix der Kategorie Slowrave.
Was sollen wir jetzt dazu noch sagen? Wieder mal ein Meisterwerk, mit dem du uns hier eine knappe Stunde mitgenommen hast. Wir bedanken uns, dass du dabei bist und freuen uns auf deine baldigen eigenen Releases in diesem Jahr - jap, ihr habt richtig gehört!
 
Haltet die Ohren offen, bis dahin.

🌀🦔

💿 Eine Frage des Timings 💿

✍️ Die Anziehung zu einem anderen Menschen geschieht einfach. Zwar haben wir einen gewissen Einfluss auf diesen Vorgang, können ihn aber weder kontrollieren noch direkt steuern. Der Verstand würde zwar gerne, doch die Qualität des Herzens ist meistens mächtiger. Es mag hunderte rationale Gründe geben, warum es gerade nicht passt und sein soll. Der Kopf findet immer einen Makel, eine Unstimmigkeit oder etwas Mangelhaftes.
Dennoch ist es wichtig zu erkennen, dass Timing eine entscheidende Rolle spielt. Manchmal treffen zwei Menschen zu einem unpassenden Zeitpunkt aufeinander. Einer von ihnen bereits in einer Beziehung, der andere eventuell beruflich oder persönliche stark eingespannt. In solchen Momenten mag die Anziehung zwar spürbar sein, doch äußere Umstände verhindern eine potenzielle Verbindung. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass der richtige Zeitpunkt irgendwann kommt. Manchmal müssen wir geduldig sein und darauf vertrauen, dass das Leben zusammenführt, was zusammen gehört. Es kann eine Weile dauern, bis beide Personen dafür bereit sind. 

🎵 Der heutige KataHaifisch Podcast ist mal wieder ein absoluter Stimmungsmacher und musikalischer Sonnenschein. Kreiert wurde das Set von Kosi, einem passionierten DJ aus Hannover der dem Veranstaltungskollektiv Dunkle Vorahnung angehört. Im Rahmen dieses Zusammenschlusses hat Kosi bereits unzählige Partys und Events im und um Hannover kuratiert und bespielt.

Wir sagen Dankeschön und wünschen euch viel Vergnügen mit diesem erheiternden Schwingungsleckerbissen! <3

PREMIERE: Farry - The Flying Dutchies (AiRKA & luçïd Remix) [ Crépite. ]

What if you were forced to spend your life on a mostly deserted island in the middle of the ocean? In such a thought experiment, hundreds of impressions come to mind. How would I obtain water and food? Are there wild or dangerous animals on the island, and would I be able to produce or find the necessary tools? Alongside these existential issues, questions about social connections and interactions also come up. Are there other individuals on the island, and if so, would they be friendly towards me? Considering it as a long-term situation, such an island life would likely be challenging to sustain. However, as a short break from everyday life … Nusa by Tim Tenhoff and Ru Yan reminds us of a long-gone and more emotional era of electronic music. The track awakens the desire for a white sandy beach and a starry night. Sipping an ice-cold cocktail at the bar while listening to the waves crashing. A deep conversation and a tear on the cheek perfectly complete the scenario as we walk arm in arm back to our bungalow.

PREMIERE: Kalipo  - Shinigami feat. Joy Tyson [ Iptamenos Discos ]

Track: KauzAudio feat. Lio Hartmann - Teilchenbeschleuniger (Original Mix)

The track by Swiss artist Manuel kicks off with a driving bass drum, building up a mystical tension until the curtain falls. We welcome to the stage Dr. Mautzi to premiere his invention, the Teilchenbeschleuniger (particle accelerator). Of course, it is summoning a roaring commotion, and - who would have guessed - as the track unfolds, a modern, synth-heavy suspense arc leads to a powerful, crisp drop. So, buckle up! But wait, where do we get our stardust from...

 AFTERHOUR SOUNDS COMPILATION V

We are happy to present you our latest Afterhour Sounds compilation. After almost a year it was about time to publish a new, in-house release. Our goal with each compilation is to share our understanding of an afterhour with you.

An afterhour has always been something special. An episode of rest and yet also of departure. Always individually different and yet somehow categorically the same. This is exactly the spirit we try to musically depict with each of our compilations.
Finally, this time we have also included exciting downtempo, midtempo and uptempo tracks. Each track is completely different in terms of mood and energy, but due to their atmosphere and playfulness, they fit perfectly into every (afterhour) playlist. Surely there is something for each of you.

Our newest compilation is as usual a "Free Download" with voluntary donation. For this you can use the Bandcamp link below and decide for yourself what the project is worth to you. A donation via the Paypal link bellow is also possible. This time, we have decided to support the aid project "Blind-Spots" with the proceeds, which we consider among many currently still worthy of support. Enjoy!

In Roswitha Nash's upcoming single on The Other Side "Walhalla”, a narrative about growth unfolds. The melody, a gentle hum, moves around playfully throughout the track. It invokes the submersion of an altering experience, coming out on The OtherSide refreshed and changed. Following the success of their latest single, "Don't Go Asking," the latest creation from The Other Side's resident artist release is imminent. With remix duties assigned to the talented Kon Faber and El Mundo, the upcoming release of "Walhalla"promises a fresh perspective on the evocative melodies and harmonies that have become Roswitha Nash's signature. As the composition concludes, a sense of serenity prevails. "Walhalla" is meant as a musical getaway, gently guiding the listener through their own inner currents towards a sense of tranquility.
