HOVR @ Fusion Festival 2025 🔮 Palapa Bar

Took me a little while to wind down and process what happened at Fusion. Pfiouuuuuu… what a ride 🚀

So grateful to have gotten the chance again to contribute to this incredible festival. Playing sunset at Seebühne on Saturday evening to a sea of people, friends, family & so many familiar faces was such a dream coming true! Thank you all for coming & the vibes 🥹

I actually got the request to play at Seebühne quite last minute, just 3 weeks before the festival and with just 1,5 weeks left in the studio… F*ck me, this was stressful - as it was so important for me to show you what I’ve been working on in the studio, to play a set that’s fresh, truly feels like me and tells a story, like I always try to do. I also wanted it to be uplifting and create something that feels like a little breather - with everything that’s going on in today’s world.

It was pretty stressful and everything but easy to finish all these tunes in such a short period of time & find the right puzzle pieces (probably also because of my high expectations to myself) but from all the love and sweet messages that I’ve been receiving so far I guess I must have done an alright job 🫠

So yeah, thank you so much for all your love and appreciation and for more than 10k plays already! Truly means a lot🫰

…and it can’t be said enough, thank you Fusion! You absolutely nailed it!! So grateful for this wonderland without phones on the dancefloor, filled with so much love, art, surprises, the best music & most insane production… ❤️‍🔥

Sunset @ Seebühne I Fusion 2025

Fusion + 20 years Bachstelzen <3

Michi and I were set and ready to take over from Mimi Love @spreedelay, but during our third track, our mixer unexpectedly dropped out. It was a bumpy start, but once we switched over to the backup mixer, everything took off and what a ride it turned into! We decided to keep the recording as it was: raw, real, and true to the live experience. Sometimes these little curveballs are just part of the journey.

The photo perfectly captures how we prep our sets—and also explains why our backs and shoulders are always in recovery mode! 😂 (Thank you, Em, for the snap!)

A heartfelt thank you to the entire @bachstelzen crew and Fusion for having us, to the producers behind the tracks, the sound techs, our amazing friends who held space for us, and every dancer and twerker who shared the moment on the floor.

@madmotormiquel, thank you for your constant support, and for being the best samba dancer and twerker a Brazilian could dream of!

P.S. This year marked Fusion’s 26th anniversary and Bachstelzen’s 20th. These collectives have shaped and inspired generations of ravers, myself included. I truly wouldn’t be who I am today without them. Happy birthday, and here’s to many more years of magic!

Kotoe & Madmotormiquel - Fusion Festival 2025 @ Panne Eichel

To play the closing before the daytime break at Turmbühne on Saturday morning was such a bliss and all my nervosity was blown away from the excitement to play one of my fav stages at Fusion Festival. Especially after 15 years of visiting, dancing, taking days of for my ravecation, strolling around, getting lost, meeting new people, reuniting with friends from all over the world, discovering new artists I'm so honored to have finally played the mother of all stages there. Probably the best dancefloor on the planet.

This year I felt the calling to play something a little different to my “usual“ sound. With everything going on in the world It was really about raising the vibration. And also to use the opportunity to move out of my comfort zone as an artist - literally shaking things up a bit. So it’s faster, more housey. The heavy rain started 5 Minutes before my set and made the beginning a little chaotic and the booth and everybody pretty wet. So very grateful most of you just stayed. Thank you! I know it was a LOT of water in those 20min. I was very nervous , even more in the chaos of the weather. The last days leading up to the show , my nerves made me seriously questioned my decision but I followed my gut to go through with it. Instead of listening to my head just telling fear stories. As playing this big events always feels a bit like a dream afterwards, I took my time to revisit and relisten to it. But now here it is. 150min of 126bpm high vibration sounds. I hope you enjoy it as much as I had playing it. Thank you to everybody who came along for the ride. Stay save out there. I love you.

Thank you to the entire Bachstelzen & Fusion Team for the amazing production. All the hard work that goes into creating this little parallel universe is insane and cannot be honoured enough! Special thanks to Mr. Madmotormiguel for the invitation!

Mira&Chris_Garbicz 2025_Seebühne_Monday Aug 4th

Truss [Minimal Groove Concept]

Bonded

Bonded (Single)

As a producer, musician, DJ and serial collaborator, Chris Schwarzwälders distinctive style of deep, restrained house is hard to pin down, but you’ll always know it’s him when you hear it. 

Born in Frankfurt am Main in the 80s, he started playing hiphop in the 90s. While making beats on his MPC2000, he dropped into Offenbach’s Robert Johnson club and fell in love with techno. 

In 2009, Chris moved to Berlin and started DJing at KaterHolzig, where he found a group of people who thought about music in the same way he did. In contrast to the trends of the late 00s, the sounds being made from this little paradise on Berlin’s river Spree were slower, softer, and more soulful than a lot of what was being played in clubs at the time. 

It was here that Chris began to cement his reputation as both a solo producer and collaborator, who was capable of bringing his trademark sounds to a whole number of side-projects - many of which have gone on to play to crowds around the globe. He joined the Feathered Sun collective in 2013, together with a group of friends including Acid Pauli, Nu, Jo.Ke and Raz O’Hara. Dreamy, groovy and often improvised, the collective represented a special kind of musical freedom in which a group of producers came together to create something new in a singular, live moment. 

At the same time, Chris’ friend Mira was making moves of her own, and they started to play back-to-back sets, soundtracking the legendary Monday mornings of KaterHolzig, and now, Kater Blau. The two, who are both residents at Kater Blau, have now been playing together internationally for almost a decade, and have formed a common musical understanding that translates throughout every one of their sets - deep, clubby and melancholic. This partnership has also carried on into the studio, where they have collaborated on numerous hits. 

His most light-hearted side comes out in collaboration with Iannis Ritter, where the two musicians take on a weirder, more melodic & electro approach than Chris’ other proejcts. 

If you were to ask him, Chris would describe himself as reserved, logical, rational, melancholic and humorous. Which is why you’d never hear him telling you about the hundreds of nightclubs and festivals he’s played around the globe, or the number of hits he’s had with his productions. If you’re lucky though, Chris might tell you about his favourite synthesizers, and get lost in a conversation all about electronics and sound. Which is exactly where Chris wants to be - lost in electronics and sound.
