fucking Tunes 🤘🤘🔊🔊🔊🔱🔱🔱

Love your mixes. What a pretty tune! Who's this by?

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.

Afrika Burn 2025 - Deep Techno Set - 8th Day of Creation

Sharing the decks with an artist you deeply admire and call a friend brings a wild mix of excitement, nerves, and the kind of energy that pushes you to your limits — and sometimes beyond.
The idea first came up after my birthday last year. We kept dreaming and talking about it… and it finally came together in a 3-hour journey I can only describe as a true musical love affair.
We didn’t plan anything, just flowed into it naturally and at some point, it turned into a full-on jam.
It was one of those moments that felt like pure magic.

🎵 Dario Klein, jofunk & Max Härtel - Live @ Myzel im Friedenspark Köln (30. Mai 2025)🎵

Shortly after Arkadiusz arrived at Dario Klein's flat in cologne, he was taken along to a Myzel collective open-air event. Rumour had it that they would be jamming spontaneously. What happened next was simply beautiful and perfect for an open-air event in the middle of summer. The atmosphere was sunny and positive, with funky interludes and a great groove.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<

✔️ What are your musical influences? 

We are an improvisation project from Cologne, working with different instrumentalists: Sometimes in our Cologne studio, and sometimes on stage! All our sets are created completely in the moment. Nothing is planned or pre-produced, which allows us to move in different directions and react spontaneously to the dance floor.

We produce all the sounds with our instruments: Dario Klein plays the drum machine and electric bass, Jofunk plays the keys, and Max Härtel plays the saxophone and flute.

This set was created at a sunny open-air party organised by the Cologne Myzel Kollektiv, who hold events at various off-site locations in Cologne.


Although we have different musical backgrounds, this set showcases our shared passion for grooving. Influences from soul, funk, jazz and breakbeats can all be heard in the set. All in all, it's bouncy but emotional!


✔️ In your opinion, what makes a good afterhour?
The best after-hours events are always spontaneous! If spontaneous, then full power!


✔️ What thoughts would you like to share with us about your mix?
The most important idea we pursue with our live sets is to live in the moment. We don't plan everything down to the smallest detail because it's bound to go wrong! But we do it with a smile on our faces. The principle behind our sets is simple: Think less, just do it! Nothing can go wrong without a plan!

 
✔️ How did you feel about the gig?
We found this gig particularly exciting because the three of us had only met once before. Namely, at the dress rehearsal.

#157: Arutani *live - Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise

Durch Raum und Zeit getragen,
ein Planet auf sanften Wellen

Im petit:chateau, so weich, so klar,
schwebten wir

Zwischen Bass und Sternenstaub,
verlor sich alles

EUPHORIC XTC TRANCE PART 2 OF 4

Michael "SHMIKESSS" Veltman is a Cape Town–based cinematographer, DJ, live performer, and producer whose sophisticated sound creates immersive narratives. Drawing from themes of collective consciousness, his sound blends dub, melodic, atmospheric, and psychedelic textures with progressive house, minimal, and deep techno.

As co-founder of Tomorrow's Monday Records (@tmrwsmdy), one half of @thelostboysza duo and creative director and curator of @pandorafestival , SHMIKESSS is building a community that bridges Cape Town’s underground with a global network - hosting transformative events and fusing music with cinema, photography, and visual art.

His rapid rise has already seen releases on Berlin’s iconic Katermukke and its sister label MUKKE, alongside South African imprints Back To Funk and Imprint, as well as his own Tomorrow’s Monday. With a growing catalogue of unreleased tracks tested exclusively in his live sets, SHMIKESSS is gearing up for multiple EPs and an album on the horizon.

Known for boundary-pushing performances, SHMIKESSS weaves storytelling, deep emotional resonance, and unconventional methods into his sets - including his innovative use of mushrooms to trigger sound through wired biofeedback frequency.
