Midtempo | Indie Dance

We are delighted to welcome Nümphe to the GKS family. As a recent Leipzig resident, she got the crowd going with energetic Midtempo and bouncy SlowTech tunes. 

Check out Nümphe: @nuemphe

Nümphe - Morphosis 08.12.2023

The most recent member of our GKS family was not shy to deliver some nasty sound on the still crowded dance floor at closing hours. Bad, bouncy and beautiful, she sent shockwaves into our bodies that keep vibrating to this day.  
There are some turbulences ahead, but don’t be afraid, they’re the most beautiful kind. Take a bow, here comes our courageous Nümphe, we are so lucky to have her!

Nümphe @ Synergies

After the first episode of Max & Paco, we continue our spree of local artist promotion. This time, a fresh recording of Nümphe is under the spotlight… Member of the Leipzig-based GKS collective, Nümphe paid us a visit during the last party where she had the heavy task of warming up the crowd. We did not miss out on the opportunity to record her set and upload it to the cloud of sounds, for your ears only. Enjoy a nicely mixed selection of mid-tempo bouncy grooves <3

UD Clubmix 003 I Nümphe

i had the immense pleasure to play the closing set @ txpx in Leipzig two weeks ago.
this one was very special for me, and i hope you enjoy the set as much as i enjoyed playing it. come and listen for a ride that starts full of dark & dirty midtempo and moves towards more flowy organic tracks just as the morning light tried to sneak in through the windows ✨ thank you for everyone who made this event possible, and for everybody staying up until the morning hours to dance with me. 

note: due to technical issues that night, this is a re-recording xx

Einmal Schlund und zurück... Nümphe @ Grethenfest

When she came into the collective, we loved her from the start for being the most kind and loving creature. But we didn’t expect the nastiness that would come out of her behind the decks! Having played awesome sets on opening and closing duty, her pumpy sound and immaculate aura now made people go crazy in early peak-time. We are so proud of how she evolved in a blink of an eye and won’t forget our goosebumps during her performance. She’s our head of awareness and head of nasty bounce, enjoy 90 minutes of Nümphe at Synergies²!

Versumpft unvernümphtig durch die Station Endlos und eine Runde schön in den Mai getanzt. Danke an @sumpfkruege für die Einladung und gemeinsames Veranstalten mit @afterhour-sounds und @philia-116839171, das war ein unfassbar schönes Event und Open Air! 

Zudem: alles nichts ohne die tollste Mukke von so vielen Producer*innen.

UNVERNÜMPHTIG IM ENDLOS - 30/04/25  - Afterhour Sounds x Philia x Sumpfkrüge

This b2b brought two fantastic news: adrionaut, our visual magician, stepped out of the shadows and made his GKS debut behind the decks. And Nümphe, known for her deep dives into driving downtempo and bouncy midtempo grooves, cranked up the tempo and got to live out her passion for high-energy tech-house. And wow — what a debut. Together, they kept the crowd going late at night with a fresh, unexpected synergy — a night of firsts we won’t forget anytime soon.

So schön war's, MIT DIR, mit euch, mit den tollen @sumpfkruege in der Backstube und die Gelegenheit, diese wunderschöne Afterhour mitzugestalten! Ich hoffe, euch schmeckt's <3  Danke @schief-torkeln für die Einladung und @herrzinnober für's Mastering!

Melaune & Nümphe [ at ] GKS Synergies IV [ Live-Special ]

We met the extremely likeable Michi from the phillia collective at our joint party at Station Endloss. We were already familiar with his snotty dark disco style. Although we asked him for a podcast, he ended up coming up with a very special live recording that we simply couldn't refuse. Together with the enchanting Nümphe, the two created a mixture of bounce, dark disco with tech house elements and many deep moments in the slower BPM range. It's really fun and definitely not something you hear everywhere. And let's be honest. Slowly but surely, it's starting to bounce. It's time for new creations, and here we have a very tasty one. Thank you both.

>>> INTERVIEW >>>

✔️ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background? 
A:// At some point in 2024, the paths of MELAUNE and Nümphe crossed from two different collectives. Both share a love for bouncy-dirty beats and powerful basslines. MELAUNE most recently played indie dance and Nümphe is known for down-tempo and mid-tempo music. And together? A small explosion of groovy vibes and good humour, sprinkled with a dose of crashing drops. 

✔️ What do you think makes a good after-hours party? 
A:// In our opinion, after-hours is not a time of day, but a feeling. It's about letting go, the grin you can't wipe off your face, tired legs and yet an unbroken desire to dance. And music that moves you, but doesn't overwhelm you. 

✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about your mix? 
A:// Multiply Nümphe by Melaune and what do you get? Exactly: It's hits, hits, hits!
No, seriously: This mix was pure joy for us to play, and we feel that the synergy of our two musical backgrounds has created something completely new that has really infected us both. 

✔️ What was your experience of the set you recorded? 
A.// It was packed! And it was great. But it was precisely this mix that got us in the mood, and the dance floor seemed to really enjoy it too

MELAUNE & Nümphe [ at ] GKS Synergies IV [ Live-Special ]

With a forward-driving bass and bouncy flavour, Nümphe blends dark and groovy tunes with playful melodies. Originally rooted in slower tempos, she’s this time moving towards a healthy dose of indie dance, touched by a hint of tech and progressive house. She began playing in Göttingen in 2022, grew within Leipzig’s subculture in the last couple of years and now appears on festivals like MIT DIR and Tarmac.

Mit dem Bass nach vorne verbindet Nümphe dunklen Sound mit verspielten Melodien.
In den langsameren Geschwindigkeiten fühlt sie sich zuhause – dort, wo sich der Bass in seiner ganzen Tiefe entfalten kann. Ihr Sound lebt vom Kontrast: zwischen krachenden Tiefen und zarteren Klängen, zwischen fließenden Elementen und einer ordentlichen Portion Energie.
Musikalisch bewegt sie sich im  Midtempo- und Indie-Dance-Bereich, ergänzt durch sanfte bis düstere Downtempo-Elemente oder einer Prise Tech House.
