Vanilla Sorbet + Remixes

My deepest respect and hearty thanks to all the people from the Plan:et C Gamma / Fusion Festival crew who made this possible.
Thanks to all the dancers in Dubstation, thank you for fulfilling my wildest dreams, thank you for getting your lighters up in the air when Phil Collins kicked in, thank you to the guys who handed me the bottle of champagne to saber. 
That was wild. Thank you for this ride.

Elizen the Emperor at Plan:et C / Fusion Festival 2021

Some songs are like lumps of clay that first need to be carefully mined, then shaped and finally fired so that a vase can be made out of them.

Other songs come out of nowhere and it's like waking up to find a vase in front of you.

This remix is one of the latter. After I was close to despair on the day of creation, because I was deep in a writer's block and already wanted to give up, I started a new project and within 30min I found all the sounds and had already roughly arranged the song.

After a short coffee break, it occurred to me that the song could use a vocal. Another 10min later the remix was already in the can.

If only it was always that easy. 

A short time later I sent the song to @dorianfecht to hear what he thinks of it. Because the song passed the Stiftung-Dorian-Test, he took the song to the 
Rotkehlchenfestival, which was an absolute premiere for me, because It was the first time, that I had the chance to listen to one of my songs on a quite big soundsystem with such a wonderful crowd in front.

A small step that meant the world to me at that moment.

Through social media, the song also found its way to @elizentheemperor, who played the song at Fusion 2021. 

https://soundcloud.com/elizentheemperor/elizen-the-emperor-at-planet-c-fusion-festival-2021

I couldn't have imagined it when I started producing.

And that's the beauty of it. You do what you love, don´t overthink shit for some minutes and that can lead to others having a good time, or being able to let their minds wander for a moment, like yours did.... wonderful.

Thanks to all who have already supported the song up to here and shook their legs on dancefloors, or patiently waited for the release.

Eminem - Without Me (Senior Citizen Remix)

In the time when I created this tune, I stumbled upon an interview with 2Pac and found it quite interesting, how he has been ahead of his time, in the way, that he spoke about problems that surrounded him. 

Nowadays it seems more normal to be, or to try to be aware of disbalances. 

Cause I like his music as well, I thought to use some of his spoken word, to let it be an updated motivation, to think  about everydays and personal blind spots.

Blind Spot  (Vocal Version)

Acid took me down. 

In this case, it was my overconsumption of coffee, wich made me a sour being. 

To get on my feet again I thought about producing a new song, that contains something alkaline to counteract. 

The Invention of "Natron House" was born and lifted me up, faster than I ever thought. 

Therefor I wanna highly recommend to spent some minutes, to let your mind wander and reflect on the status of your acidation. 

Maybe it´s time to enlighten your system with a fresh and cheeky spoon of "Natron House".

----------------------------------
This time I did the master by myself. So if you have any feedback I would love to hear from you.

We got a very spontaneous request to play at the @3000-grad party at Sektor Evolution Dresden from 7-9 am. Thereupon we packed our currently very favorite gems for the tent floor to animate the outdoor area to hip-swinging dance interludes. We wish you a lot of fun listening!

Contrast (No Diggity Version)

Contrast

In 1973 Marvin Gaye released his song „Let‘s Get It On“ which is one out of many, that shaped modern music in this time. 

Few years later we (young timetraveller @marholz & seniorcitizen.wav, formerly known as seniorcitizen.tape) did a remix of this song, to give this hit a new twist and to show our respect for Marvin Gayes work. 

Finally we want to share this little gem and celebrate the first release of @marholz with all of you!

Unsere beiden Dudez "Diskolocke" und "Schnecknostelze" waren wieder auf dem @3000Grad Festival zugange und haben am Freitagnachmittag die Utopia Bühne eröffnet.
Danke an alle fleißigen Tänzer:innen, Musikant:innen für die Musik und Organist:innen für das grandiose Festival!

Faultierdisko @ 3000Grad Festival 3022 - Utopia Opening

This song is a reflection on relationships with good friends, people you love and passers-by.

What do passers-by and strangers have in common? 

Strangers come and strangers go. 

Friends and loved ones stay. 

Maybe not forever. But that little (or bigger) piece in the heart always remains reserved. 

So maybe the song is a love song. But the other way around.

Strangers (Original Version)

One-T - The Magic Key (Senior Citizen Remix)_Dub Version

One-T - The Magic Key (Senior Citizen Remix)

For me, forgiveness is a tool for healing. 
A special aspect of it for me has been the realisation that you cannot apologise, you can only ask for forgiveness. 
On the other hand, you can forgive another person, even though they may not be at the point where they see the need to ask for forgiveness. 
In any case, this topic has been very much on my mind over the last few years, as I have felt an intrinsic urge to process experiences and clear up ambiguities and hurts. 
It was absolutely fascinating to experience first-hand how dead ends have turned into open roads and peace has come in where chaos and negativity were predominant before. 
I dedicated the song to this and enriched it with a mixture of melancholy and hope, which accompanied me in moments of dealing with the topic. 
I think it fits well into the current season, with the days getting shorter and shorter, the year coming to an end, which is also the beginning of a new one. 
As I can only encourage you to listen to the song ^^, I can also recommend the topic of forgiveness to you. 
Maybe there is someone who would be happy about a reconciliation or apology. 
If I can contribute even 1%, that would be more than wonderful. 

With love, your Senior Citizen

Forgiveness (Original Version)

Yoo-hoo and welcome to 2023. 
I'm awake from hibernation and proud to announce that my new song "Fire" is finally online. 

This time it is much more forward than my last release and there is again a version with vocal cuts from the song "Funky Heroes" by Africa Bambaataa. 

A controversial personality in early rap history (if you feel like it, you can start a search engine) who has influenced all genres of electronic music with the whole musical movement. Without sampling there would be no hip hop. Without hip hop there would be no house/techno. 

Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to send a telepathic thank you to all the early hip hop heads.

KataHaifisch Podcast 302 - Flave Liveset @ Mensch Meier

The story about a fish who got on his horse to explore the colorful world. Paralyzed by the sun at its zenith and the dry wind in his teeth, he was forced to take breaks again and again. So why not rest instead of rust? No sooner said than done. So he unpacked his blanket, sat down under a fig tree, imagined that it was full of leaves and would give him shade, took his laptop, went briefly in himself and built this song. He named the song after one of his friends, who always helped him with advice and support. He was called "The Fish". Not just a fish. "The Fish."

The Fish

A mixture bewtween the vocals of "Newclus - Jam On It" and a slightly adapted version of my song "The Fish". 

So it´s a kinda crossover-ish remix approach ;)

This weekend was a blast. 
Its hard to describe the pure joy that we felt during our set on saturday evening from 7-9pm. 
But we give it a shot and try to take you with us to this moment. 

First of all, it was raining cats and dogs for most of the weekend, so we prayed for some good weather. 
When we arrived at the stage, while @reyneke was playing his live set, we were shook by his intriguing sound but also the amount of people that gathered in front of the stage, ignoring the rain from toe to head. 

When we started playing, the blessing happened and it stopped raining, followed by the sun, appearing 30mins later for the second and only time at this day. 
To watch the people turning and applauding the sun was just heartwarming and what we wished for. 

The music was a built up, from warmer tones to heavy hitting bangers and back to an outro that released the tension that we built up during the last hour of our set. 

Beside one technical issue, everything went fine, but the issue was to fun, to not share it with you. 

It happened that one player froze while I (Senior) was searching for the next song to play. 
In pure adrenaline, a short evaluation of how long the actual song  should last, I decided to just restart the player. 
After pressing the shutdown button fully in, I noticed, that the playing track was launched from the player that I was up to restart. 

With the finger on the button, fearing to let it go (it felt like stepping on a mine and then noticing, that you now cant move) @marholz calmly decided to just give it a shot and hope for the safety-loop-function that the pioneers should have activated. 

It worked and in the following 15 seconds we picked the next song and mixed it in, hoping, that no one noticed our little melt down, fearing that the music would stop midset. 

But hey it worked out ;) and overall we had the feeling that we could share a special moment with alot of people, regardless of one failure. 

After this little incident we continued and were happy to hand over the turntables to @sahrabass afterwards, knowing that she will turn up the heat for good.

Thank you @friendlyconnections for the invite and to all the people behind the @zugvoegelfestival that made it happen due to the bad weather and all difficulties that come with it. 
To all the people on the dancefloor that expressed their joy and to all the ones that came over afterwards to have a little chat with us. 

🧡 your @marholz & @seniorcitizen_wav 🧡

MARHOLZ & Senior Citizen - Zugvögel Festival 2023

Tech N9ne - Like I Ain´t (Senior Citizen Remix)

Anticipation flooded me, when I got invited to play at the legendary Theater Floor at Mensch Meier. 

There are many approaches on how to play between 6-8am. From slowing down to going full throttle the options seem endless. 

I decided to pack lots of favorite, bouncy and good vibes songs and merge them into something 
re-energizing. 

After waking up at 3am to attend the party I needed some time to get my heartrate pumping. Therefore the one or other transition is a bit bumpy, but I had fun from the very first minute. 

As some of you may wonder… „where are the first 30 mins?“

I tested some unreleased tracks and think that there are some changes to be done, before putting it out on SoundCloud. The feedback was great, so for all of you that shared these moments, we had a kind of exclusive listening session together and the tracks will be released in 2024. 

For the SoundCloud community, here are 90mins of „let’s go“ Senior Vibes. 

👨🏼‍🦳🧡

It's that time again—early September marks the launch of our next compilation! We can hardly believe it ourselves, but it's already down.tape °9.

As always, we've worked hard to bring you a mix of emerging new artists alongside some seasoned veterans who have yet to be featured on our compilations. The soundscape spans from fresh, summery open-air vibes to driving beats perfect for the night, once again showcasing the incredible diversity of our favorite genre.

We want to thank all the artists for their unique contributions, as well as Kilian Van de Water for the artwork and Haunted Water for the mastering. Enjoy the music!

Senior Citizen - Get Down (Original Mix)

What was that? 
Five beautiful stages that close to the sea. So many kind and experienced party goers celebrating the last edition of this festival with a long history. 

Therefor I still feel thankful to got invited and contribute the music that I love. 
It all went down on Sunday afternoon. People slowly started to gather, came by and stayed. So many smiles. Such a good back and forth between the dancers and me. Played a couple of new and unreleased songs. Sun was shining. 

Thanks to all of you that came by after the set to talk to me and all the other ones that texted me on the socials. 

Thank you to the whole Backstage Crew for inviting me and being such overall caring and kind people. 

Thank you for giving me extra 40mins of playtime, that led to 3hrs and 40mins in total of playing time. 

Always a blessing when you have the feeling that you are onto something and everything is flowing and you can keep going for a couple of songs more. 

Aaaaaand thank you @yoni_dadon from @atb_za for letting me use your voice note as an intro. Wisdom delivered from South Africa ;) 

"There is no winning in music. It´s all art. It´s all beautiful." 

This is a cut of the first part out of the whole set.
Who can find the unreleased Songs?

Much love and see you next at Bucht der Träumer Festival

"Ravers" is a ode to all the hours I was blessed to spend on dance floors. 
But not just some dance floors. The ones where there is a good mixture of groove, melody, warm and driving elements seasoned with some pinches of funk here and there and as the cherry on top... some (i call them) space sounds. 🛸

Thank you @ruben_coslada for your take on this song and the overall professional work as well as all the laughter and good times that we spent during this project

Did this remix of @mita-gami -  "Sun" to participate in a remix contest from https://www.bpm-music.com/

A true pleasure to give this song my own twist after playing the original for so long. 

Much love to all the other participants. Your so creative takes are amazing.

Had the pleasure to play from day into night, choosing some of my current favorites between Indie Dance & Funky House.

If you´ll ever consider partying in Milan definitely keep an eye on @odd_organization_for_daylight_dancing . With their day to night parties the curate a truly familiar vibe and event that sets itself apart from the commercialization of dancefloors, aiming for creating a safe space of togetherness. 

Therefore another big "thank you" has to be said, for inviting me being part of your event. I felt at home with you guys.

Another thanks to @daniel-neuland-030 for borrowing your recorder and cutting and mastering the recording.

Senior Citizen @ ODD, Masada (Milan, Italy)

My first job wish was to become a pensioner. 

When I´m on the road I have Disco, House, Funk & Indie Dance in my pockets. But when I´m on my terrace, rocking the wheelchair, I like to produce Downtempo and Midtempo as well. 

The so called "Balance". A rest. Even though its energetic most of the times. 

Enjoy listening to the music and thanks for stopping by. 🧡
