Catch

After an epic one-week stay in Iceland, time had come to fly home.  Hekske, the little witch, gave a long farewell hug to her new Eldnorn friends, the Icelandic fire witches who had taught her the art to master extreme heat and cold, and many other witchy secrets.  The eldest Eldnorn witch gave her one precious present, a pouch with ash from the Kerið volcano in South-western Iceland, which she had collected after the powerful eruption they had witnessed a couple of days ago (see Witchtape #115).
After one last kiss to her Icelandic friends, she flew towards the east over the North Atlantic Ocean.  It was an uneventful flight, with only one short stopover on the Faroe Islands to collect her immaculately white dress which she had left behind during a hurricane while on the way to Iceland.  The return flight was a million times easier than the grueling slog through the rain and the gale force winds one week earlier (see Witchtape #103).  And after a pleasant and sunny flight to Flanders, the little witch touched down in the center glade of her home forest, where she was welcomed by Falke (the 9-year old witch apprentice) and Lalita (the Asian tree nymph), who were intrigued by the white Eldnorn dress the little witch was wearing, with its unique orange flame patterns.
After a refreshing bath in the nymph’s pond and a good night’s sleep, the little witch told many stories about the mythical Eldnorn witches to her friends, after which she took the pouch of volcanic ash and made a tour around the witch’s forest, while still wearing the white & orange Eldnorn dress.  The girl spread small amounts of ash at dozens of different places around the forest, where it will serve as fertilizer for the plants and the trees, but at the same time spreading the wholesome energy of the fire witches all over the forest.  And after completing the tour around the woods, the little witch returned to the middle, where she spread the last bits of volcanic ash around the little oak tree (which is only 3 feet high but destined to live for 1000 years and become the mother tree of the forest).  The next few minutes nothing happened, but then the little tree started to react by emitting a faint orange glow, which started to pulsate like a heartbeat.  This pulse slowly became stronger, and gradually spread around until the whole forest was resonating with this pulse … spreading the unique ‘ice & fire’ energy of the Eldnorn witches all over the forest …

Recording from my closing set @ perlekos 
Playtime: 03-06
Location: Perlen, Oslo-Norway

Closing - Perlekös

unders | los angeles | open to close

i usually don’t let my poems rhyme
in an attempt to not let history repeat
itself in perpetual cycles
but my attempts remain 
in vain
ha! there she goes 
fractals of relapse
my hands tremble
as i try
to remind
i can only be brave when i am in fear

A trip through the depths of the night into the first light of morning. "Lady Joker - Over ‘n After" is a set woven for that liminal space—where time blurs, bodies move instinctively, and the music carries you beyond exhaustion into something new. Recorded live at Lady Joker: Over ‘n After in The Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, this mix pulses with the energy of the dancefloor, shifting between hypnotic rhythms, deep basslines, and moments of pure euphoria.

For those who were there, this is your afterglow. For those who weren’t—this is your invitation.

Lady Joker - Over 'n After | Recycle Lounge Gallery Club | 2023

A groove as warm and earthy as sunlit sand,
where afro-tinged rhythms meet sizzling hi-hats
and brass lines swirl like a breeze with attitude.
Cool and confident, the mix moves slow but never still –
playful, poetic, and made to dance barefoot on kitchen tables.

Fragments of whispered desire shimmer through the air,
a sensual murmur speaking in riddles.
Then suddenly – cheeky and deep – the vibe smirks,
half-lidded and knowing.

As the journey softens,
a voice reminds us the play goes on –
and this mix?
It leaves its verse glowing gently,
like the last light of day.

Slomosensual 84 by Disfunctional_Disco

On an exceptionally sunny day in May, a man took his faithful dog for a walk in the countryside. Unlike other days, the dog was pulling his owner towards the nearby forest, which they had never visited before. 
After entering the woods, the man got overwhelmed by the serene and peaceful atmosphere. It even felt otherworldly. As they ventured deeper and deeper into the woods, they came across a bunch of animals which you would normally never see together : deer, foxes, rabbits, badgers... 
Strangely, all these animals were flocking together without the slightest sign of animosity and they all slowly walked into the same direction. The atmosphere was so peaceful that it even felt like a procession. 
Without hesitation the man and the dog joined the procession. The deeper they stepped into the forest, the more animals joined the procession and the more serene the atmosphere became.
Then the procession suddenly ground to a halt, on a little mound near the edge of a clearing. The man saw a pond in the glade, surrounded by wild spring flowers. This place felt like heaven on earth. 
Then something unusual happened. Two young women in long white dresses slowly strolled through the flower field. They stopped at the edge of the pond. One women was around 20 years of age and had long brown hair, while the other one was a 10-year old girl with shining blond hair.
The man got a bit ashamed and looked away. He is absolutely not a voyeur. Then an owl flew to a branch next to the man, and spoke with a soft voice : ‘it’s okay to look at this spectacle. They are two witches, Hekske and her apprentice Falke. They are going to perform a spring ceremony’.
Then a third woman entered the glad. She looked really old and had long grey hair and walked with a limp. The owl whispered ‘This is Quintine, she is 439 years old and she recently woke up from a 414 year long hibernation to escape from the persecutions of the 17th century.’  Meanwhile 2 other girls welcomed Quintine with a long hug.
A little later, the youngest witch lit up a fire with a floating spark which she launched with a gentle hand movement. They put a small cauldron on the fire and prepared some kind of brew, which – after cooling down – they all shared. This all happened in such an unhurried way that it made the man lose his sense of time.
After finishing their drink, the 3 witches went to the edge of the pool, where they shucked off their long white dresses. The man quickly looked away, but the owl reassured him and told him to keep on watching, as a very important part of the ceremony was about to happen.
The 2 young witches helped the elderly witch while they slowly waded deeper into the water. When the women were deep enough, they started to swim. Or rather : float on the water. This made some ripples on the mirror-like water surface. These ripples had a soothing and hypnotic effect on the man, his dog and all the animals around them. Even the birds had stopped singing, and the forest became completely quiet. There was even no wind. It was as if the earth had stopped turning.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the witches decided to get out of the water. With slow movements, they waded out of the pond. The animals who were watching from the mound got very excited at that moment. At first it wasn’t clear why, but after a while it dawned to the man that the elderly witch was able to walk independently. Even more astonishing, her grey hair had turned red. She barely looked 25 now. All the animals first looked in awe, until they all erupted in cheers : the badgers growled, the foxes screamed, the owls hooted and all the birds sang their most beautiful song. Also the dog barked from pure joy.
And this was only the start of a long celebration which would last until deep in the night.

Angola

Rhythmic whispers rise like auroras through the mist, weaving indigo hues with pulses of memory. Each heartbeat carries forgotten names and luminous echoes, until the sky below us dissolves into a neon silence.

We have several things to say in the description of this set, and first comes the text Niki emailed us: "I'm dedicating this to a good friend of mine and the unconditional love and support we have for each other no matter where we are and what we are going through in life." Next comes an excerpt from a poem by Pablo Neruda we came upon on @nikisadeki's page and found it to be exhilarating: "Let’s try and avoid death in small doses, always reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort by far greater than the simple fact of breathing." And perhaps the fact that today is the International Women's Day and we would hardly be able to choose a better day for publishing this mix.
