⫷ Kiskă. ⫸ I am thrilled to share the set I played at Lusatia Festival! A bit nervous at the beginning, I relaxed while the journey unfolded. In the end, I loved every second. Seeing you all dancing and letting go in the cozy & smoky Wooden Hut stage made me super happy. I loved the intimacy we shared for a moment under this big octopus above our heads! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This set is an ode to Freedom, a tribute to Kiska and Tokitae, two orcas who recently died alone in their tank after 50 years of captivity.

For the story, Kiska was captured from the wild in 1979, when she was only 3 years old. She spent much of her captive life performing alongside other orcas, but by November 2011 Kiska found herself to be the last remaining captive orca in Canada. Having outlived all of Marineland’s captives, including five of her own calves, Kiska was left all alone, not only in complete isolation from her own species, but also any suitable companion species too. As incredibly social, tactile animals who form close bonds, the absence of another orca or any companion at all was incredibly alien to Kiska. She had been left to run herself down, swimming in circles and logging listlessly, while her calls and vocalizations went unanswered for 11 years! 

Kiska was robbed of her wild family to serve a billion-dollar industry, only to end up unwanted and alone at a rundown marine park until her body couldn’t take it anymore.

44 years in total of a torturous lifelong imprisonment where only in death Kiska found freedom. Tokitae, known as Lolita, had the same fate after 50 years of imprisonment, not long after the decision of sending her to a sanctuary was taken. But too late…

As a conscious artivist, I’m endorsing the role of being an advocate for the voiceless and I chose music as an art expression as it conveys a lot within the vibration of each tone. And words for their vibrational power too.

I invite you to dive deep within my musical interpretation of what Kiska’s and Tokitae could have expressed throughout various emotions. I wish to thank all producers for their amazing creations and bringing this set to life.

Orcas inspire my dreams to expand my musical project to a bigger scale to be at service of the Ocean and its inhabitants.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me in the Wooden Hut, and here, right here, right now.

I love you.

It's Once again a really nice downtempo set for listening at home, on the road or at later, or "early" hours at the weekend
It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride, but that's what the boys are know for.

Let yourself be carried along and enjoy the ride with slow revolt!

Striped #11 - slow revolt

⟣ A transition is a shift from one state, subject or place to another as well as something that links one state, subject, place to another - a connecting part or piece. This process at the heart of music making, Djing and narrating can be seen as both an inspiration for and an effect of this wonderful peace of dreamy, immersive downtempo.

⟣ Farn, one of the Founders of @crepitecollective invites us in gently, wraps us up in soft beats and warm melodies and irresistibly draws us into his journey of emotions, light and dark, joyful and peaceful. The carefully crafted reverie incorporates eletronic pieces as well as intrumental music field recordings and lots of love. It's a prime example of the art of narrative podcast creation; an hommage to cozy winter nights and the transparent air of cold January mornings.

⟣ So simmer down, trust in what's inside and step into your inner world to find peace and tranquility.

❖ When our member Flo visited Berlin this summer, he went for a chill Sunday party afternoon at MenschMeier. 

❖ He was surprised and amazed by one particular DJ's performance, and that was Dora's, aka Die Rote Dora. 

❖ Her curated music and her stage presence captivated him so much, he decided to ask her if she wanted to share a podcast with  our Slow Bar. family. 

❖ Now, the long awaited recording is ready to be released. 

❖ We are still amazed by you Dora, and are sure you will be, too.

Dear fellow downtempo lovers,
Can you believe it's been five years already? What a journey it has been! To celebrate our fifth anniversary, I've put together a compilation of some of my favorite tracks released on Talpa Rec. over the years. Going through the over 100 tracks we've released so far brought back so many memories of the time and effort invested in each one.
A heartfelt thanks to all the artists, DJs, and listeners who make our little downtempo bubble so unique. We truly appreciate each and every one of you!
Looking forward to the next five years <3
Nico

chameleon #62 - 5 years of Talpa Rec. by Nico Apolinário

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already, so we started asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but many said yes and this is our 12th Cuddle Cast within one year.

It is a very special one, because it is our second cuddle cast recorded by a couple, namely by @ghostofher & @ditolove. 

We feel the love throughout the set and we hope that you do too.

So grab your special person, get cosy and press play  ❤️
