@disfunctional_disco is coming in hot straight out of Copenhagen with an absolutely juicy mix full of grooves, with a whole bunch of cracking upcoming promos fresh for your ears.

********************
Good morning Lars 😊

➢ Tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

 That varies immensely, its rarely anything electronic though, although i have been making a playlist lately, with old classics (in my opinion) with vocals, like Stimming - Close the curtains, Dapayk & Padberg - Island feat. Caro (Nôze Remix)… these really sets my mood at top level :). Or else its more traditional songs and can be anything from Norah Jones to radiohead and everything in between.

➢ Disfunctional Disco is a great name. Tell us the history about how it became your artist alias?

Uffff, that is an old story, to cut it short, we were sitting at an afterparty…..MANY MANY years ago, and in our godlike knowledge mode(as you know you achieve at afterparties), we were trying to redefine the term house music, and my best bid was, thats it basically started out as “Disfunctional Disco”, and it stuck ever since.

➢ You co-manage the label @sofa-beats-1 . Give one piece of advice you have learnt running Sofa Beats to someone who is looking to start their own music label?

DONT DO IT…hahaha, no im kidding. Be sure its not just a vanity project, you have to bring true value to yourself and the artist involved, and by that i mean, get involved, read about rights, royalities and all the boring legal stuff, be professional from the start, that is i think the most important thing…be professional from the start.

➢ Since the pandemic it has been difficult time for the music scene, how has it changed in Denmark and what do you think will be different when things return to a certain “normality”?

Its such a difficult question to answer, in copenhagen the clubs have suffered hard, and have been forced to look into fundraising etc. to survive, thats the biggest impact, that our clubscene is hit really hard, and to be honest its hard to say if they will survive at all. When society opens up(its happening now actually), im not sure we’ll see big changes to be honest, people will take the necessary precautions to get to a party, slowly the restrictions will fade to normal, Pirate parties will reign supreme in the beginning, but i think in a year or so, we will be back to were we were just before the pandemic.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

Im spoiled in the promo department, so i always try to put in something i know few people have heard yet, i usually start to collect tracks 2-3 weeks prior to a podcast or mix, then i play around with the material, checking keys and transitions, then i usually get angry cause i think its sound like shit:)….then ill get a few more tracks, maybe even a classic tune, play around some more, until i dance around like a mania…then i know its there :)

RAMPUE Live  | Honolulu, Hawai'i

"Playing the Sunday morning closing set at Robot Heart at my first Burning Man was one of the most touching and rewarding moments of my musical adventure so far. I have always made music with the desert in mind, and this felt somehow like coming home, sharing it in the perfect environment. 

The manifestation of an intention - a full circle. 

Thanks to everybody who believes in my work and has helped me get this far on my journey, and to all the beautiful souls and amazing creatures who shared this moment and made it a special morning.  

Much love"

Sunday morning, deep playa at Burning Man, 2015.  Be Svendsen.

(Story continued from Witchtape #45)
The little witch was already flying for countless hours over an endless desert, steadily following her inner compass into South/South-Eastern direction.  She was starting to feel tired from all that flying.  Her head grew heavy and her sight grew dim.  She had to stop for the night.  Luckily, she was nearing the other side of the desert as she spotted a few shrubs in the distance.  After a while, she saw some patches of grass and a few beautiful giant trees as she flew over the African savanna.  On her right side there was a breathtaking sunset unfolding… it was high time to land and find a safe place to spend the night.  The witch saw no humans which meant the place was safe.  She landed at the foot of a majestic tree, but didn’t have much time to savor the glorious sunset, as a few hungry lions were stealthily approaching her, observing the witch from close quarter, preparing for a decisive lethal strike.  But while looking at the witch, a feeling of tenderness took hold of the lionesses.  Instead of attacking, they walked slowly into the direction of the girl, who started to talk with a soft voice to the queens of the savanna.  This drew the attention of even more lions and soon they were all lying at the feet of the witch, while she played and frolicked with a bunch of lion cubs - who especially loved to play with the girl’s long hair (the hair of a young witch is of an indescribable softness).  The leader of the pride welcomed the young witch and ordered the other animals to prepare a soft bed of grass for the exhausted girl.  And soon the little witch drifted into a blissful sleep in the middle of a circle of lions, whom had never ever experienced a similarly peaceful presence in the savanna… (to be continued in Witchtape #52)

Wednesday morning somewhere in nowhere & day 3 on the playa of that magical place called Burning Man where your imagination is not limited, where money doesn't exist and everything could be possible where we had the great opportunity to play a sunrise set at Opulent Chill and couldn't be more proud of the recording and our inner playa soundtrack.

We also would like to thank each and everyone of you we met and who made this burn so special and a special thanks to @opulent-chill for inviting us to their beautiful, chilled camp and the great hospitality and everything <3

Please listen carefully this content contains trippy ingredients

See you next year 

With love

The intention with Festival No.23 was to leave better than you came. Grateful that all those around me, including myself truly accomplished that. 

Greatly inspired by my musical soul brothers @deep_schismic & @bhakti-vardhana-goode-art on this one. Downtempo, mid-tempo, deep, world, whatever you want to call it - this one came straight from the soul 💓

Free download. Hope you enjoy x

Sriracha ⁕ Festival No.23

This month's episode focuses on Panama, a country diverse in rich wildlife, biodiversity and mixed culture.

I became fascinated with the somewhat electric energy of its musical traditions, ranging from salsa to reggae, jazz, cambia, pastille and tamborito. A country first influenced by the indigenous populations of Kunas, Teribes, Ngobe Bugle and others, then by the black population who were brought over, first as slaves from Africa, between the 16th century and the 19th century, and then voluntarily (especially from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Saint Lucia) to work on the Panamanian Railroad and Canal projects between the 1840s and 1914.

This lead to a diverse culture and sound.
Here is my take on what I found when digging through the musical history books of Panama.

On the one side there is the Zindagi, a Hindustani word of Persian origin which means ‘life’. For Buddhist people this is the endless cycle of personal reincarnations, each characterised by individual choices resulting in joy and suffering. According to that ancient culture, each choice we make marks the path to the next reincarnation. On the other hand there is the Nirvana, which is the freedom from that endless cycle, the extinction of individual passion, hatred, and delusion: finding the peace of soul and rejecting the concept of self.
The delicate equilibrium between selfness and its rejection was the inspiring force for @katabtu to produce his ethereal EP. This comprises two original tracks titled Nirvana and Zindagi, accompanied
by three powerful remixes by @danbaymusic, @ackssek, and @jati_div.
Katabtu is part of a music collective named ‘@kollektiv-liebe’, whose purpose is raising funds for social projects by means of musical events and releases. Such a valuable and selfless decision taken by the collective resonate with the theme of the Nirvana EP, and to the importance of individual choices. Just like they affect the cycle of reincarnations in the Buddhist culture, daily individual choices affect our immediate future, and the future of our societies. A chain of hardly predictable events is activated every moment. Thus, every moment we live and act altruistically, we have the chance to care about others, about nature, about the world we live in. Mind small choices, tame the
self. Doing so, Zindagi and Nirvana may meet in the quotidianity.

Katabtu - Nirvana (Original Mix)

Huii. Da wird es langsam richtig frisch auf der Apollo 12. Das gefällt dem gewöhnlichem Tarabianer so überhaupt nicht. Dann darf er nicht mal in die Clubs um sich a bissl warm zu tanzen. 
Doch Rettung naht. 2 Girls 1 Club bringen uns zwar nicht in die Discos aber heizen uns mit ihrem total gemütlichen, fluffigen Sound  schön ein und bringen unser Hinterteil zum schunkeln. Saunagang in Musikform.
Zurücklehnen und genießen ist hier die Devise.

Mehr warmes und herzhaftes gefällig?

It's your toes in the sand
It's the smell after the first rain
It's the warm breeze while the sun sets
It's freeing your mind from all movement
