must admit that i’ve been having a lot of fun while producing music recently—new ideas are flowing and i’ve been learning lots of new processes along the way. somehow this set feels like a bit like the reflection of that: boundary-free and full of exploration. 

big thanks to @mira_kater for inviting me once again to this very special event, i was very nervous as always but the amazing vibe and feedback from the people that were there made it all so worth it. i’m so grateful to be able to share my sounds in such a cool setting.

Downtempo Delights #003: Adomani

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

☀️ Habikat [ at ] Kompaz Festival [ Live-Special ] ☀️

A new member has arrived at the charming Afterhour and is treating us today with his deep and hypnotic downtempo sound of the very highest quality. Immerse yourself and enjoy a top-class warm-up from the Kompaz Festival.

<<>>

✔️ What is your musical background?

My first important contact with electronic music came with my dear friend Dennis (Ganji) who carried niche Downtempo genres into my Munich suburban bourgeoisie environment when I was a teenager.

However, the main influence for my DJ project were - believe it or not - intense sonic confrontations with Full-On Psytrance in 2022. Luckily, once I had my first controller Downtempo and Tech genres took over my library published by labels like down., Talpa Rec. and Crépite and produced/mixed by artists such as Riyoon, Frida Darko, Reyneke, Temple Tears, Antaares, Matildoutz, LENI and - of course - Ganji.

 

✔️ In your opinion, what makes a good afterhour?

Self-confident but mellow and conscious people. No phones, a deep gripping yet suave sound. Eye contact that gets replied with a smile, a caring question or a friendly chat.

 

✔️ How did you feel about the gig?

When Benja from Kompáz asked me to open the event, I did not know what to expect and started planning from creative scratch. Though not many people arrived this early at the Salon floor and  personally I was very troubled beforehand, the time behind the decks was my perfect start for a deeply touching and wholesome weekend.

Habikat [ at ] Kompaz Festival [ Live-Special ]

🐈 It's been quite a few weeks since we set sail at @kater_blau with all of you. But let's come back for one more ride. In between pink water, one or two dolphines and of course where @soso_klein turned Acid Bogen upside down and gave us all a great time! 💥
🌊Thanks to everyone who was there. At this special occasion she arrived from the beautiful french riviera  to our beloved Spree and took us on a special kind of afternoon swim. Groovy sounds await you on the deck, with dark disco and indie dance beats. So pick up your floaties and goggles  for one more time and dive into this wonderful set!🤿🐬

💦What does true happiness mean to you, and have you found it yet?
Wow, that's a lifelong question! :D  For me, true happiness is when you live your life aligned with your desires and values. It's an ongoing journey, as our desires are constantly evolving. But what's certain is that every time I am DJ-ing, or I listen to music I like, I'm absolutely in a state of true happiness!"

❤️What song best captures your current mood?
It's summer, so I'd say the closing track of this Kater blau set perfectly captures my current mood: it's a sunny mashup by the French electro swing band LMZG - thank you @lamuzgueul for sharing this banger! <3 

⛵If you could perform at an event anywhere in the world, which one would it be, and why?
Definitely the Sonnendeck stage at Fusion Festival. It's one of my all-time favorite stages globally, and I'd be incredibly honored to play there one day.

The 2025 festival season is over, so I am very excited to share my new live set with you here on SoundCloud. It includes many new songs that don't have a name or final structure yet. But they will see the light of day very soon. 

I would like to thank my wonderful friends who always support me. Everyone who keeps our festival and party culture alive with their personal commitment. And everyone who spreads good vibes on the dance floors of this world and looks out for each other.


Live Set 2025

Hej people,
here is the set that I played at Kater at the wonderful liminal Event on September 26th in 2025. It's hard to play fluffy downtempo these days and because I didnt feel like playing filthy downtempo I dug deep into the fluffy deep house sound of the 2010s. 27 of these 40 tunes are released before 2015, most around 2010/2011. I hope you like this fluffy driving ride <3
if you want to know any IDs, feel free to ask in the comments :)
