"Hey, I told you that I want to take the next few weeks easy - and by easy I´m talking about my duties first and foremost."
"I'll smoke a bag of coriander then and look straight into the eye of the machine, if you know what I´m talking about."
I give her a goofy artificial wink, hoping she's satisfied.
The look on her face says she thinks I'm sufficiently certifiable.
As I put my sunglasses back on, I get right into it, pondering about the opening for our set tonight.
I already feel that tingling in my ears.

Like a puppeteer, always hidden, yet the centre of attention. At best a guiding hand for the entire floor, all united within this person in eternal shadow. Ever since my first visit, I have been magically captivated by the booth and the phantasmal labyrinth behind the scenes into which the virtuosos disappear - fascinating like an orchestra pit. And the floor is auditorium and spotlight at once. So the floor becomes auditorium and is spotlight at once. What will it feel like behind, how do I get there? Where lies the secret of this place?

Intriguing how light a feather is. It weighs barely nothing and you only need a few palmfuls of them, arranged correctly as if by magic, a late fall and they carry an entire living being along with its ideas through any weather till the South Seas. The call from afar. Take a run and soar as learned. With your goal firmly in mind, you can achieve the unimaginable. Feel the air on your face, take a breath and go!

The silence is torn by a loud hiss and I see the door slowly opening. As I unfasten my seatbelt, I feel much less resistance than expected. Almost light-footed, I wriggle out of my vehicle and take a leap onto the barren soil. My shoes kick up dust, almost as if an aura traces their silhouette. I look around and enjoy the harsh vast. I catch a breath and get back behind the wheel. A quick glance, a pause, then I hit the gas and enjoy the rush.

Flying at 2000 kilometres per hour with nothing more than my shirt and pants on. Levitating just far enough above earth, so that I can still see the pulsating veins of the cities, but also slightly feeling like I'm touching space if I just stretch my hand up high enough. I hold on to your wings, which seem like paper to me. Which nevertheless have so much strength to carry both of us throughout orbit. So the rhythm, the beats carry us like strokes of wings through the hours that lie behind us and those that are yet to come.

Wizard Of Doom by @enkosound

--------

Schlag für Schlag höre ich meinen Puls. Er kommt aus den Boxen vor mir und ordnet den Raum samt meiner Gedanken. Kurz bevor alles durch mich hindurchfließt und jeder Gedanke in seiner richtigen Schublade verstaut ist, beginnt dieser Ruf, diese Stimme, die ohne Worte das klarste Thema anstimmt. Ein Thema, dem für den Moment das Universum gehorcht. Ich könnte, wenn ich wollte, denn ich dürfte, weil es keinem so gut passte wie mir im Vergleich zu allem.

--------

Beat after beat, I hear my pulse - it comes from the speakers in front of me and arranges the room along with my thoughts. Shortly before everything flows through me and every thought is tucked away in its drawer, this call begins, this voice that intones the clearest theme without any words. A theme, obeyed by the universe for the moment. I could if I wanted, because I´m allowed to, because compared to everything it suited no one as well as it suited me.

Welt Verstehen (Beginner) by @alec-troniq & @phillson

--------

Flimmern in den Ohren. Schneidend blau strahlt der Himmel. Du erahnst die Sonne blinzelnd durch die zerbrochenen Fenstern hinter der ehemaligen Munitionsfabrik Nord. Die grauen Betonplatten unter deinen Füßen, schmeckst du noch Rauch, fühlst Stahl und Backstein, während dir deine warme, innere Stimme beruhigend im Takt der vergangenen Nacht zuschnurrt: „verstanden.“

--------

Flickering ears. A sharp blue sky. You get a hint of the sun, squinting through the broken windows of the former, northern ammunition plant. Concrete slabs beneath your feet. You still taste the fume, you feel bricks and steel and your warm, inner voice purrs soothingly in last night's rhythm: „understood“.

Move by @drumcomplex & @franksonic

--------

Aus den Tiefen des alles verschlingenden, jeden tragenden Floors sehe ich diese Gestalt – nein, nur ihre Silhouette - die mich, ohne erkennen zu können, was es ist, geschweige denn wer, magisch in ihren Bann zieht. Ein Aufeinanderzugehen, ohne dass wir uns näherkommen. Ein Verschmelzen, oder vielmehr die Gewissheit bereits eins zu sein. Wir sind der Takt, der Moment, die Synthese.

--------

From the depths of the all-devouring, yet everybody carrying floor, I catch sight of this being - no, just its silhouette - which, without recognizing what it is, much less perceiving its true nature, magically captivates my whole self. Getting closer, without converging. Fusing, or rather gaining certainty about being one already. We are the beat, the moment, the synthesis.

After 2 days of driving, we suddenly stop. For me, this inhospitable world consisted of monotonous, metallic noise and an odor of oil. I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Then you get off. I swiftly shake the dream off my mind and see the lucidity and fragility of the clearing. An island in the middle of nothingness. It's about time to take a deep breath and stop the clock.

For hours I've been awaiting that one moment. Did those DJs even take notice of us? As inconspicuously as possible I try to keep everything in view while being quite restless. A few winks later I'm completely freaking out on the floor. That, moments ago, must have been it.

Just as we begin to wonder what the night holds for us, our new passenger passes a tape from the back seat to the front. The time-worn cover can only be kept from breaking apart and spreading all over the car with a high level of dexterity. Our driver slides the shiny translucent cassette into the deck that looks like a spaceship control centre and we all eagerly follow the rattling silence. With the first kick our spacecraft takes off and 4 hours later I find myself on a dancefloor with the desire to repeat this journey as soon as possible.

As I open my eyes, it takes a few minutes until I see something and recognize where I am. Deeply focused, I try to feel this chill and fresh air that flows into me with every breath. I realize myself slowly recovering consciousness but yet there is a veil covering everything. I still don't rightly know what happened last night, but I have a hunch that this is the beginning of something magical.

You'll have a hard time finding such a group! One crazier than the other. 200 years of concentrated underground rave experience. Rebellion is engraved on our foreheads. I can hardly remember anything that we haven't experienced right from the beginning. "Look, they seem to be new," I say. Apearing almost a bit wet behind their ears, but with this sparkle in their eyes, they stumble unsteadily through the crowd. The impelling crowd just swallows them. With a wry smile, I imagine how nice it would be to experience a first rave again.

I sit on the back seat, for about an hour now I'm looking out of the window letting the woods pass me by. It almost seems as if someone's stroking a still wet picture with quite a soft brush. "Have you ever noticed that you can't really tell where the forest begins and where it ends?". "What do you mean?", sounds a somewhat lackadaisical grumbling from the passenger seat. "Well, when you're in the thick of it, you know you're inside of it. When you're far away, you know you're outside, but at the boundary it's like the penumbra of a spotlight or the edge of a cloud." Silence in the car for a while. "Look, the first billboards and lights. There's our exit already".

Lass uns einfach fahren. Was hält uns hier fest in unserem Korsett aus Alltag und Pflichten. Wir könnten wie Nomaden leben und immer der Sonne folgen. Oder viel besser noch, wir bringen die Sonne und unsere Vorstellung von Techno, Gemeinschaft und Freiheit mit. Pack deine Sachen, vor dem Morgengrauen geht‘s los!

Rau, industriell, zwischen Backstein, Beton, hohen Decken und Glasfenstern entsteht ein Sound, der seit 12 Jahren Menschen prägt. Aus diesen Wurzeln ist ein Label entstanden, das für mehr als nur einen Musikstil steht. Es steht für eine Art, Musik zu hören, zu feiern, die Welt zu erleben, ein Lebensgefühl. Stets verwurzelt mit der östlichsten Stadt des Technodreiecks, verbindet das Label Künstler:innen, die kompromisslos der elektronischen Musik verfallen sind. Diese Welt teilt sich für das Label in die von klassischem Techno und starkem Electro geprägte Evolution-, und die deutlich härtere und schnellere Revolution-Welt. Beide verbindet Bodenständigkeit mit nie so ganz vorhersehbaren, anachronistischen und futuristischen Ausflügen.
