kośa (https://soundcloud.com/kosh-a) presents "Remain calm“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.222

Our No. 222 today comes from an artist who has been accompanying me musically more or less continuously for about 2 years. To overhear him is basically pretty really hard. Not only because of his high output and commitment, but especially because of the high quality that can be found in all his mixes. So is the case with ours.

We are talking about kośa who also runs the well-known label Kosa which preferably stands for experimental downtempo that can be classified somewhere between world music and slow deep house. As a solo artist Tarun is very successful on the road. Among other things, he has played at the well-known Berlin club Kater Blau several times.

His recorded mix begins like an ode to the Bronx of the 80s when hip hop played with oriental music elements. As the tape progresses, it becomes deeper and more driving, without losing its slow character. In the process, he reveals a wide range of subgenres...Towards the end, Tarun returns to the starting point, skillfully closing the circle. In his set, he provides equal amounts of release and tension. A perfect formula for an easy-going, danceable afterhour. Fasten your seatbelts...

We thank you so much for this special kośa set. Stunning and surprisingly good. If one-of-a-kind, it's here. Chapeu.

We are delighted.

Unsere Nr. 222 kommt heute von einem Künstler, der mich seit ungefähr 2 Jahren mehr oder weniger ununterbrochen musikalisch begleitet. Ihn zu überhören ist im Grund ziemlich wirklich schwer. Nicht nur auf Grund seines hohen Outputs und Engagement, sondern vor allem wegen der hohen Qualität, die sich in all seinen Mixen wiederfindet. So auch bei unserem. 

Die Rede ist von kośa der zudem das bekannte Label Kosa betreibt welches vorzugsweise für experimentellen Downtempo steht, der sich irgendwo zwischen Worldmusic und slowen Deep House einordnen lässt. Als Solokünstler ist Tarun überaus erfolgreich unterwegs. So bespielete er unter anderem den bekannten Berliner Club Kater Blau bereits mehrere Male.

Sein eingespielter Mix beginnt wie eine Ode an die Bronx der 80er als der Hip Hop mit orientalischen Musikelementen spielte. Im weiteren Verlauf wird das Tape immer deeper und treibender, ohne seinen slowen Charakter zur verlieren. Dabei offenbart er eine große Bandbreite von Untergenren…Gegen Ende kehrt Tarun wieder zum  Ausgangspunkt zurück und schließt somit gekonnt den Kreis. In seinem Set sorgt er gleichermaßen für Ent- und Anspannung. Eine perfekte Formel für eine locker-flockige, tanzbare Afterhour. Schnallt euch an…

Wir danken Dir vielmals für dieses besondere Set kośa. Umwerfend und überraschend gut. Wenn Unikat, dann Hier. Chapeu.

Wir sind entzückt.

Close friends for many years, sharing the same passion for music, one ear for bass and the other for highs, complement each other. We love harmonies and the fusion of tracks. Electronic music has been with us for a long time, but it wasn't until May 2019 that we sat down at the controllers and gave our passion a platform to be fully lived out. Our hearts beat faster with the sounds of downtempo, slowtech and ketapop. Our dedication to telling our stories is possible thanks to all the producers who create such wonderful tracks.

Music is storytelling, bringing to light an individual's self-expression, or spirit.

For the next iteration of our podcast series, we bring you Thommie G's interpretation of Lughat alRouh.

Thommie G (Haarlem, the Netherlands) provides the world with music that takes the listener to places beyond their audio system.
He is an electronic music composer, creating down- and uptempo music, and remixes for artists around the world. In his hometown, he hosts Dansen onder de Sterren events, where people gather inside a greenhouse to celebrate life.

For this podcast, Thommie dove into the realm of dark downtempo. It's a collection of recent and upcoming tracks by the likes of Überhaupt & Außerdem, Pulli & Chomba, Juliano Gomez, Air Horse One, Thommie G himself and others. Hop on the train and enjoy the ride. The ride is free :-)

Thommie G's Interpretation | 82

@Fruiterama (Seasidetrip) is a traveller in music, in love with the melodies of the world and always searching for musical treasures. His mixes are journeys through foreign and traditional harmonies, guided by deep and slow baselines, energetic drums and smooth sounds.
I wanted to do something that differs from my recent mixes so I decided to fasten up for this one.
This mix is the story of a fight which starts slowly, creeping in with just a few misunderstandings, growing bigger while anger and emotions rise until it implodes and calmness slowly settles down.

Fading seasons and a paled sun finally allow soothing and contemplative moments for overstimulated minds. After days and months of more and more, there is now time for rumination and recreation. With elaborated riffs and intricated patterns Lopal (@lopalmusic) allows us to go on an introspective journey, reflecting what has been resting on our minds for a while now. We are very happy to present to you this work of art, introducing a musician we are expecting to make a remarkable way..

Witchtape #66 | Guest Wizz : Stelzenläufer

After a short but hectic flight, the little witch touched down in an unfamiliar forest.  A few minutes earlier, an owl – in a state of near-panic – flew to the witch’s forest and had begged her for help.  It turned out many animals of this nearby forest were very sick from a mystery illness and some animals had even died during the last few days.  To make things worse, every day this illness was infecting more and more animals at an increasing rate, making all forest dwellers desperate.  Luckily, an old owl knew there was a young witch in a nearby forest and that’s how she arrived here.  The girl immediately realized it was crucial to separate the healthy from the sick animals and isolate them in a remote corner of the woods.  And she understood this forest was located too close to the human world, which meant it was suffering from all kinds of pollution, including noise pollution, which caused stress to the animals and weakened their immune system.  So the little witch started to sing a sweet song, which cancelled out the noise pollution and brought all animals into a state of blissful hypnosis.  The soothing voice of the witch had an instant effect on the sick animals, and they all started to recover.  And the sweet presence of the girl also had a calming effect on the healthy animals and boosted their immune system, so that they didn’t fall ill.  The little witch also prepared a magic potion of spices and berries, and the vitamin-rich brew boosted their immune system even further.  And on top of that, she ordered all animals to get some sunlight every day and get enough sleep every night.  This made the animals quite a bit stronger.  Yet, this seemed to be a really vicious virus which meant complete rest was needed for full recovery.  The animals even had to continue resting for 5 days after the symptoms had gone, as this was a virus which took a long time to get completely out of their system.  During this time, the little witch continued singing with her sweet voice, accompanied by all the birds and eventually these sounds completely cancelled out all noise pollution and the whole forest seemed to calm down, finally – after over a century of turmoil - becoming once again an oasis of peace and quiet… And after all animals had been cured from the virus a few weeks later, they threw a big party which would last until well past midnight under a beautiful rising moon…

Witchtape #66 | Guest Wizz : Stelzenläufer

The wonderful guardian of mystical forests, an honor to have a Witchtape on Sunset Grooves. To be honest no need to introduce Hekske's music and everything you need to know can be understood through the mix and the lovely interview. One of those mixes you just click and let yourself float... 

Interview with @Hekske 
*********************
Good morning Hekske 😊

➢ I hope you agree to answer a few random and fun questions to share with our listeners?

Sure, it’s the first time of my life I’m doing some sort of interview (and probably the last time as well). So let’s do this 😊

➢ To start you off tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

Well, generally I already wake up in a good mood every morning so no need to listen to music. Occasionally I’m listening to ‘4ware’ from Deadmau5 to pump myself full of energy for the whole day.

➢ About three years ago you decided to invite your first DJ guest onto your witchtapes podcast. Tell us briefly what was your dream then and how has it maybe changed today?

Well, in early 2017 I made the very first mini-mixes of my life (these are witchtapes 1-2-3). At that point I was contacted by a Tunisian artist named Samer Soltan and he asked whether he could release a mix on my soundcloud page. I replied that my page was not a channel, only to change my mind 24 hours later, so we gave it a go and that became Witchtape #4. And the rest is history. It was only 8 months later (with Witchtape #14) that I started writing fairy tales about the now-famous little witch. So it really took quite a while before my channel really took shape. At the start of my channel I was basically just clueless so there actually was no dream or vision … it just happened.

➢ As someone who also runs a podcast series, what are some of the criteria when inviting artists to do a mix for you?

When I sense that an artist is resonating with the mystic-magic vibe of my channel, an invitation may follow sooner rather than later 😊

➢ 2020 has been a difficult year for the music scene, how has it changed within your hometown and what do you think will be different in the future?

Oh well, my hometown is easily the sleepiest town in Belgium, with no such thing as a music scene, apart from a carnival band named ‘Fret Tet & The Swinging Tepelboys’ which you can translate as ‘Fred Tit & The Swinging Nippleboys’. But given the dramatic corona situation in Belgium, the nipples have stopped shaking in 2020 … the carnival parade of 2021 has already been cancelled so I guess the nipples will only resume swinging in 2022.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

Last summer, while doing some paintwork in my house, I was listening on repeat to ‘Long Story Short’, an absolutely epic podcast from Vincent Gericke from 3 years ago. I decided to make some kind of tribute mix and picked 3 tracks from ‘Long Story Short’ and started weaving some new tracks around that, while preserving most of the original atmosphere. After that I got a bit stuck for a few weeks until out of the blue an unknown DJ gave me the id of a track I had requested over 1 year ago. So that became my opening track. Still the middle section didn’t work out, until all of a sudden I realized that I had an unreleased Vincent Gericke track somewhere on a USB stick (which he sent to me 2 years ago). And suddenly all pieces fell together
