Sonic Soft Serve

Sonic Soft Serve - Rezeptorcast°2

In tribute to that explosive moment of relief, those long hours of pure celebration, pouring joy and satisfaction. That emotional moment we had all waited for so long and that you all hopefully were now rewarded with. The faces, the smiles, the tears, the smells - the eyes, the utterly intuitive connection - the vibrations, the beat, running deep through your body, the movement driven by crisp sounds tickling your brain. High on humans, wired on music, so raw and so healing.

High On Humans - Rezeptorcast°3

Who would have believed that you can actually ride a cloud? The perfect place for contemplating life from a distance, while soft white matter gives you the most comforting support. Sweet. I think i'll just stick around. Forever. Argh, shit, no! I'm slipping… dropping. Falling towards that concrete world i had just escaped from. Well, thats it then: approaching my final and terminating clash with the real world. I had it coming i guess. Wait, hold on though - can't you feel the rushing air, can’t you touch it, too? Don’t try to grab it, just shape it carefully… to guide yourself to a better place. That works. Here we go, again, drifting off towards alternative realities… until the one and only reality hits hard. The irony.

Feverous Fading - Rezeptorcast°4

We have discovered a new fragment. Join Nehbel in our podcast and listen how he decodes this new fragment.

“Despite an extensive music education at a young age, Nehbel only very recently started to express himself through music more actively. Influenced by 00s techno/house in Hamburg, a dubstep/drum’n’bass driven sub-culture in Edinburgh and a glitch/trap/deep-house coloured festival scene in California, his musical journeys show appreciation for various genres - with more recent inspiration coming from the beautifully evoluting downtempo techno and keta-pop scene across Germany. For his CNXA cast, Nehbel embarks on these past impressions and weaves in some musical elements and colours from all over the world, expressing his interpretation of the CNXA spirit.”

Have a nice journey <3

Listen in on my opening set at “Laufmasche” @ Katzensprung Festival 2022 (Jul 22), kicking off the Conexa Rec. Showcase that took over this beautiful stage all day and night on Friday. Tune in on for a slow, but driven journey with spaced out moments, both warm and dark sounds, accompanied by nifty beats and phat satisfactory bass thumps - working to gently push the listeners into the weekend ahead.

My utmost gratitude goes to Conexa Rec. (@conexarecords) for giving me this opportunity and festival debut, with special thanks to Stiller (@stillerito) for inviting me along for this memorable ride.
Kudos to all the other Conexa pilots, you were all amazing: Leirum (@leirumslin), Pärchenurlaub (@paerchenurlaub), Nur Simon (@nur_simon), Pulli & Chomba (@pullichomba), Stiller (@stillerito) and Arnau Amatista(@arnau-amatista).
Thanks for you support and also for listening <3! Let’s do it again some time!

Nehbel (https://soundcloud.com/nehbel) presents „Transcendence“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 251

Der liebe Simon beschenkt uns heute mit seiner Version einer Afterhour, die ihr euch auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen solltet. Der Mix ist gespickt mit viel Tiefe, Gemächlichkeit und verträumten Passagen, die das Innere nach Außen kehren lassen. Definitiv ein Stilmittel, dass in vielen seiner Mixe zu finden ist. Daher solltet ihr euch neben diesem vorzüglichen Mix auch seine Rezeptorcast Reihe anhören. Lohnt sich.           << https://soundcloud.com/nehbel/sets/rezeptorcasts-n >>

Anbei noch seine Stellungnahme zu unseren Fragen:

• Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?

Eine gute Afterhour ist für mich, wenn die Menschen, die schnelle Befriedigung brauchten, gegangen sind; wenn verbleibende Zombies mit warmen Frequenzen vertrieben werden wie Vampire vom Sonnenlicht; wenn die Semi-Überzeugten ins Bett gefunden haben und nur noch über ist, wer einfach nicht gehen will und weiß, dass die Belohnung nach hinten raus funkelt; wenn mögliche Erwartungen an die endende Nacht sich in Luft aufgelöst haben und einen ausgelassenen Menschenhaufen zurücklassen, bestehend aus den freundlichsten Gesichtern die sich vielleicht vorher noch nicht begegnet sind, aber doch zutiefst vertraut sind - harmonierend, wie man es mit niemandem für möglich gehalten hätte - auf einer Welle schwingend und zelebrierend, als würde der inzwischen zeitlose Moment einfach nie enden.

• Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?

Ich entdecke aktuell verschiedene Genres neu, welche ich in Zukunft weiter erforschen und in meine Sets mit einbringen will - ob noch mehr Deep House, Chicago House, Italo / Bretter Disko oder auch Tech-House. Allerdings, nach diesem Jahr, in dem nach meinem Eindruck Tech-House und (Trash-) Remixes überhand genommen haben - geprägt von einer kompromisslosen Vorwärtskultur mit einer ordentlichen Prise Trash und Spotify Recommendations - fühle ich mich mit diesem Afterhour Sounds Cast eher in Momente und Stimmungen zurück, wie sie für mich am schönsten waren, auch wenn sie teilweise noch aus einer Zeit vor COVID stammen.

• Was sind deine musikalischen Einflüsse? Was ist dein musikalischer Hintergrund?

Trotz einer umfassenden musikalischen Ausbildung in jungen Jahren, habe ich erst vor kurzem begonnen, mich aktiv durch Musik auszudrücken. Beeinflusst von Techno/House der 00er Jahre in Hamburg, einer Dubstep/Drum'n'Bass-getriebenen Subkultur in Edinburgh und einer Glitch/Trap/Deep-House-gefärbten Festivalszene in Kalifornien, zeigen meine musikalischen Reisen eine Wertschätzung für verschiedene Genres - mit neueren Inspirationen aus der sich wunderbar entwickelnden Downtempo-Techno und Keta-Pop-Szene in Deutschland.

"Intimate events inviting you to listen and dance to only the primest of sloth and downtempo techno music, frequented and appreciated by a only small number of true slow-burn connoisseurs - that’s how Slow Punchhh lives in my memory, their parties and the label embodying a key entity in my perception of a that particular Hamburg sound that shaped my taste in music so eminently. Consequently, my Slow Punchhh Mix leans on and deepens this impression, pushing down on the BPMs without regret, neglecting any possible lack of popularity of downtempo music in the currently trending clubs.
Enjoy, bring some patience and embrace any lengthy sections to be rewarded with even greater payoffs, driven by those satisfying slow punches that will leave you wanting more.
Thank you, Slow Punchhh, for inviting me to contribute to your wonderful series 🙏"

Nehbel...in the Mix 045

Tune in on my set recorded @ Jupiter | Hanseatische Materialverwaltung (HMV im Exil) on 30/04/23, playing all Sunday afternoon with the sun smiling down at us. I was gifted with the perfect setting for getting out some of the finest tunes from my house collection, crafting a nice slo house ride, ranging from dub to deep to chicago. Be prepared for some good vibes, just hanging out on a sunday afternoon with friends to embrace the spring and this years first serious sun rays. Although “faster” than my previous sets, you should find yourself rewarded with some very deep and slow-rolling basslines that take it as easy as you are, accompanied with some sweet-savoury melodic grooves and topped off with some relaxing down-pitched vocals.

Vielen Dank für die Einladung liebe Hansematz <3 !!!
(und hoffentlich bis schon ganz bald wieder)

P.S.: Although I actually played for 5 hours, I decided I will only upload the first half of the journey for now - the 2nd part may or may not follow =)

Nehbel @ Hanseatische Materialverwaltung | Jupiter - “Mit Kind oder Kater” (Süßer Sonntag 04/23)

Listen in on my set at "Château Chapeau" @ Pastanaga Festival 2023.
Be prepared for a very late morning after hour sound that hopes to slowly pick everyone up after a long and celebracious first night, and ease them into the second day of this wonderful festival.

Danke @pastanaga-hh <3!!!

Listen in on my set @ Pastanaga Festival 2024.
Hop on, take another ride on the Karussell of your dreams, finding your way back into the groove of pure cozyness, getting comfortably stuck in a seemingly endless loop of weirdness, love and joy.

Danke @pastanaga-hh <3!!!

Nehbel @ Pastanaga Festival 2024 | Im Kozyritt um's Karussel

Listen in on my Set @ Mystic Creatures Festival 2024 - my attempt at crafting a vibe and journey through the latest night, with darkness still holding at the wonderfully intimate "Spirit Space". Dial in for an anti-hectic, yet driven and deep mood, building on determined bass lines, merged with novel and intriguing sounds that work to captivate your mind.

Thank you so much @mystic-tales-berlin for the invite and for the wonderful Festival 🙏❤️! I would love to come back and contribute again to this beautiful happening!

Danke @piapanundheyoka @tvisker 💕

Listen in on my Set @ Zugvøgel Festival 2025 - where I was invited to play at the wonderful “Sauna und Floora” stage on Saturday night, 1-3am. Starting off with a deep but rather groovable sound, i ended up leaning more into the very dreamy vibe of this lovely stage and mood there, featuring some more minimal/melodic and dreamy downtempo techno elements. The result being a hopefully very satisfyingly deep and slow burning journey, that keeps moving between grooviness, darkness, lightness and dreaminess. Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you so much to everyone who was present, honestly it was a bliss to have so many of you listen to my set and dance and sway - i’m super grateful for all the smiling and vibing faces I saw, it means a lot to me.

Special thanks go out to Tilman (@til_mensch), Katja, and Kulturbüdchen for inviting me to their wonderful stage - thank you so much for all the hard work you put into creating this cozy space and great festival (@zugvoegelfestival <3), it’s greatly appreciated!

Nehbel @ Zugvögel Festival 2025 | Sauna und Floora

Listen in on my Set @ Mystic Creatures Festival 2024 on the Funky Float stage on Saturday - honestly the best possible stage i could have imagined for the particular sound i had in mind. Definitely my favourite stage at this festival and possibly even the coolest floor I have ever seen or been at. In the spirit of this beautiful place and it’s name, I ended up pitching a variety of sweet slow-burning house tunes, with some proper fat grooves, savoury-funky vibes, and side-twists in different directions, in what ended up being a completely freestyle on-the-go set. >Open House< style.

Since the weather did not quite go my way, I am even more thankful to everyone who came out to dance and play with what turned out to be the most on-point, fun-sized, cheerful and funky dance-gang i could have wished for. Hoping to be back next year with more sunshine to peel everyone else out of their tents and join us, too, to seek refreshment and recovery, and grant an even more rewarding and playful time in the water as well.

Thank you so much @mystic-tales-berlin for the invite and for the wonderful Festival 🙏❤️! Big thanks also go out to the Funky Float Crew, you guys honestly did such an amazing job, i loved this year’s upgrades and honestly can’t wait to be back grooving on the Float. 🕺

Danke @piapanundheyoka!

Nehbel @ Mystic Creatures Festival 2025 | Funky Float

Starting slow and working its way up from there - should it tickle, don't hesitate to embrace the anticipation and maybe even let out some movement. After all it's desirable to get some of that dopamine flowing again [¹], in these dopamine-deprived times. Be with someone if possible and/or imagine those times when you will be able to share beautiful moments with heaps of friends and strangers again, and you might just get some of that oxytocin flowing, too, which your body and mind long for - so desperately.

Recorded for my Dearest - so you may not forget over there what nice music sounds like <3
