As a trained jazz violinist with a classical background, Sawatzki improvises to Chrystal Chris' carefully curated selection of tracks, making each performance a unique experience.
Their sounds take you into ambient spheres of avantgarde, electronica, deep house and neo-classical sounds.
This fusion shines in its own uniqueness, resonating between sadness and felicity, light and darkness, yin and yang.

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

Lars Kracht die Seebühne | Fusion 2024

Now we´re landing slowly... this was a really special Fusion this year. i returned again after a decade and I am very happy to be able to play a gig at the casino.
I´ve recorded this at sunday morning and I'm still speechless about the fantastic lighting team that accompanied me.

Leorion @ Fusion 2024 Firespace

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

Thank you to all the beautiful souls who moved their feet with me on this lovely Thursday morning <3

Mettle @ Palapa Bar - Fusion festival 2024

At the 25th fusion festival an absolute dream of mine came true. I got the spontaneous opportunity to play a set at the bar in front of subardo. I still can`t quite believe this thing really happened. To cover up my almost paralysing nervousness, I asked the grandios Kira Kete to join me. 

Thanks to my good friend Nümphe who gave the starting spark for this gig. And now I will shut up and let the music tell the rest…….

Saphear: DJ Set & Live Violin Improvisation – A Unique Fusion of Beats and Strings

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.

For Chrystal Chris, DJ sets are a mosaic of evolving beats, rhythms, and frequencies of life — woven together across genres and retold through the lens of perfect imperfection. 
Her genre-defying mixes blend Electronica, Hypnotic Techno, Breakbeat, and UK Bass — creating immersive soundscapes that transcend boundaries.

More musicophilic projects of Chrystal Chris:

@oceanofqi: Chrystal Chris brings life to this musical project, blending genres like Ambient, Glitch, Psydub, Dubtechno, and IDM to craft soundscapes for deep relaxation, mindful reflection, and gentle movement.

@Saphear: Partnering with violinist @Sawatzki, Chrystal Chris combines her DJ sets with live violin improvisation, delivering performances that are both dynamic and deeply emotive.
