It was the most magical and mind blowing Festival we've been to. We are happy that we recorded our Set at the beautiful Creatures Corner Stage in the early morning hours of the Festivals Saturday, the 9th of September 2023. We hope this recording will take some back to this unique festival experience on the beautiful Polish Island, and others who could not be there, can give an impression of how fun it was...

Special Thanks to all the people involved, who made it become reality, with their hard work, to be able to celebrate such a beautiful Festival in such a unique ambience...WOW - it was an honor to play there!

In autumn's golden hue, she claims her cozy spot,
A girl in the middle of books, you can believe it or not.
She's lost in tales of joy, where adventures bloom,
While cheesy songs embrace her, chasing away the gloom.
With leaves like whispers falling, they dance to afterhour sounds,
And her heart dives deep, like fish, Meeronauten and seahounds.

hello maria,
hello mellow.

🎵 Seyde (live) [ at ] Mensch Meier [ Live - Special ] 🎵

Dear Leon aka https://soundcloud.com/seyde-music from the friendly BeYond collective presents us today with his really successful recording from Mensch Meier. You can expect a relaxed hour of downtempo full of depth. Be curious.

Recording date: 23.09.2023
 Venue: Mensch Meier / Berlin


+++ Interview +++

✔️ What are your musical Influences?

Over the last 10 years I have tried out a lot of different things musically. I played in bands for a while (guitar, bass and vocals), produced techno, hip hop and ambient and above all I paid a lot of attention to my own indie and folk songs. Electronic influences have always played a big role.

✔️ What makes a good Afterhour?

For me, a good afterhour is a soft landing. Taking people by the hand and creating the possibility to give them a place where they can slowly come to rest.

✔️ Thoughts about the set and the event you played?

The set was an attempt to combine two sides that I love about dancing in one hour. Both the exuberant bouncing and the dreamy swaying with closed eyes. 
The gig was my most intense performance so far. I always feel the atmosphere and the faces of the people when I hear this set. It was really indescribably beautiful.

Thx so much for this recording.

Seyde (live) [ at ] Mensch Meier [ Live - Special ]

We probably don't need to say much about the next artist in our beloved down. cast series, as her sound speaks volumes and should be familiar to any downtempo aficionado by now.

Of course, we're talking about @frida-darko, who for years has consistently delivered fantastic and carefully curated sound.

Being a part of the @rebelliondertraumer and @station-endlos-halle crews and having launched her own label project @tipping-point-music in recent months, one can always be curious what this versatile artist has in store for us next.

We're all the more thrilled to have her now as part of our series as well and wish you all a great time with the upcoming mix.

Last weekend I had the pleasure to join the celebrations for Rebellion der Träumer's 10 years birthday at Renate in Berlin.

This was nothing short of a spectacular weekend - with lovely people and amazing music for hours on end. Thanks to the packed, smiling and supportive dancefloor the three hours I was behind decks flew by (and I was super happy to get an extra hour on top of my original two!).

Loving high fives go to the friends in front row and to all the dancers, and a special thanks to those who went out of their way to give a word of appreciation after my set, both at Renate and after the event: I usually get super shy when it happens, but it means a lot.

A huge thanks to Renate for hosting the shenanigans and to the Rebellion gang for the invitation and the care - I felt right at home from beginning to end and look forward to connect with y'all next time ❤

The fantastic dj duo https://soundcloud.com/soso-klein and https://soundcloud.com/eldomjan recorded an stunning closing set at the Chateau Perché Festival 2023. This Mix is for true a gem and includes an wide range of different downtempo music faraway from here and now. Made for an afterhour.


Recording date: 8.07.2023, from 5am-8am & +++.
Venue: Chateau Perché Festival 2023

+++ Interview +++
✔️ What are your musical influences?

Sophie:  I come from a family where classical music was always played and listened to, and  I played  piano & harp during my childhood. I later discovered electronic music, then downtempo music from Germany, and immediately loved it. Today, Ninze and his project Wide Awake are a main source of inspiration for me, but I like to mix different genres in my DJ-Sets.

Damien: I was mainly a huge fan of the 60-70 psychedelic rock or progressive rock but I also loved the blues, soul, disco or Spanish flamenco or French and Italian singer/songwriter. I wanted to be a rockstar at 14 years old and started playing the guitar and the piano. I ended up being a DJ and had the opportunity to play in nice venues. Cool! :)

✔️ What do you think makes a good after-hours?

Being able to offer some change in the dynamic of the party. Giving a fresh air and a new perspective to people to enjoy music in a different way. In our opinion it is often at the end of the parties that the dance floor kinda have a nice unique vibe where you feel that the crowd is really united. 

✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about the gig?

It might sound a bit cheesy like those motivation speeches you can hear or read on the internet but in this case we kind of feel it this way. Doing a set together is not always easy, but in the end we really loved the result because it reflects both of us and we really managed to overlap the songs in a very coherent storyline.

It was awesome since we played this set exactly one year to the day after our first b2b at Kitkat Club in Berlin. It was a great honour and pleasure to be reunited again behind the decks to play for the closing of the main stage " Le Cèdre Olympien" at Chateau Perché Festival in France. We would like to thanks all the dancers who made the ride with us and stayed until the early hours of the morning, Christian Kahl for the invitation,  and the Kamiwaza crew for building this amazing stage. And last but not least, we thank Afterhours sounds for including this memorable set in your wonderful Podcast serie. MERCI <3 We hope you can enjoy this recording.

Easy Tiger X Schöner Tag

This is kind of a special one for us since it is the very first time we have ever stayed behind the decks together.

A couple of days before we both have been excited but also quite nervous, but we think it turned out pretty well… sometimes it’s just a match!

So, we hope you enjoy listening to the set as much as we did playing it.

Much love to the Schöner Tag Family in Dresden! It was a pleasure! <3

The eleventh edition of our Striped series comes from our very own @slowrevolt  

They'll take you on a three-hour journey full of slow goodness.
It's Once again a really nice downtempo set for listening at home, on the road or at later, or "early" hours at the weekend
It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride, but that's what the boys are know for.

Let yourself be carried along and enjoy the ride with slow revolt!

Striped #11 - slow revolt

✨Since so many of you requested it: Voilà - this is my set from the Heimlich Drei König:innen gig which I played on 5 January 2024 from 1-3 at Flucc.👑

I had a special time playing my current favorite tracks and dancing with you.🥰 There were so many of you, tbh I’ve never seen the Café that packed. I still have goosebumps when thinking about that night.🤩

Thank you for your continuous support and big thanks to the Heimlich Crew for the invitation.❤️‍🔥

Enjoy the set💿

More tba!

Love,
Jessi🤍

Heimlich Drei König:innen 2024

Spährisch schwirrende Synthie-Sounds, treibende Tiefen und prägnante Percussions fließen in den Sets von schwalheim ineinander. Zwischen düsteren Einflüssen aus Dark Disco und verträumt-verspielten Elementen des Downtempo liegt zumeist eine leichte Stimmung positiver Melancholie, die in seiner Idealvorstellung die Menschen ein wenig zueinander führt und in wohlige Gedanken hüllt.
In seiner (Sch)Wahlheimat Jena kommt schwalheim seiner Leidenschaft als DJ und Veranstalter nach. Da es in der Stadt keinen Raum für seine Leidenschaft für Downtempo gab, gründete er vor einigen Jahren mit ein paar Mitstreitern das Downtempo-Kollektiv Easy Tiger. Seitdem sind sie prägender Bestandteil der Jenaer Subkultur und zunehmend auch außerhalb Jenas anzutreffen.
