Saphear | Firespace | Fusion Festival 2023

We played the opening spot on the alternative floor at the second edition of Tempest at @suedpol-hamburg. 
Besides the psytrance and psytechno floor, we were aiming to open the third floor with a sound that captures psy-elements and varies in flavours, styles, tempi and genres, as to roll up the red carpet for @Triptune who overtook the DJ booth with a smashing drum 'n' bass set followed by a genius psydub set of @its-surreal.
As for this, we had the chance to slowly evolve our journey from psydub and ended with drum 'n' bass tunes. 
Emphasising @chrystal-chris's selection and storytelling, @sawatzki has the gift to improvise to the occurring sounds with his electric violin and diverse effects. This combination amplifies the psychedelic experience the mix aims to create.

The atmosphere in the tent in this cold November night with minus degrees was something special with an open audience following our musical footsteps. Thank you for listening & dancing and especially your euphoria <3 

Enough said, we welcome you now to listen to the whole set.

Yours, Psypheareos

Saphear *live at Tempest | Südpol Hamburg | November 2023

Hi fans,

here is our DJ-Violin-mix from Sunday evening at the one and only Firespace at Fusion Festival.

We started our musical journey with 76 bpm and ended up with 131 bpm. 
Our interpretation of the mix: It's like climbing the stairs to an aspiring mountain. You slowly get faster to reach the top where you finally have a breathtaking wonderful view of your surrounding and feel the whole world inside of you - and that makes you happy ;)

Coincidentally, we played and mixed a lot of tracks by artists who also played at Fusion this year, for example tracks from @oh_why, @jaschahagen, @arutani, @polygonia, @vril_01, @Kiasmos and @Max-Cooper. It can be seen as a short summary of the musical landscape and variety at Fusion, even if there is much more to discover - we know ;) 

Enjoy the trip!

Much love, Chrissy & Raphael @chrystal-chris & @Sawatzki

One year ago, an island called Wuza came down mysteriously from the clouds. For its first earthday, Saphear brought you closer to the myths of this legendary tribe alongside other intergalactical storytellers. 
By listening to this set we will meet you in the field when the world is too full to talk about and where only frequencies shiver your soul with depths of the unknown.

Thank you @rebelliondertraumer for the invitation to @kater_blau. We had an absolute great time at Acid Bogen together with all the other rebelling dreamers.

Our friends of Rebellion der Träumer were our hosts
and with our sonic adventure we awakened some ghosts."

DJ Set & Live Violin Improvisation

About:
After years of traveling and changing residencies, @Chrystal-Chris arrived in Berlin, where she met @Sawatzki.
Their shared passion for deep, complex electronic music led to their first performance on a pristine lake – and so, Saphear was born.

Sawatzki, a trained jazz violinist with a classical background, improvises live to Chrystal Chris' carefully curated DJ sets. This synergy creates performances that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Their soundscape blends Ambient, Electronica, Deep House, UK Bass & Breaks, and neo-classical elements, offering a captivating musical journey.

This fusion shines in its own uniqueness, resonating between sadness and felicity, light and darkness, yin and yang. Like crystals thrive with other solute molecules, Saphear grows steadily by attracting people through their enthusiasm and passion for music.

Catch their highly energetic performances – where new crystals take shape.
