Wie eine frische Brise ausm Palmengarten wedeln uns heute @ener-stelzenlaeufer konstant stabile Downtempo Vibes in die Ohren.

Von leichtem Südwind - laid back und wohlig warm - bis zu Böhen bei denen einem glatt die Salakfrucht vom Hirnstamm purzelt servieren die beiden liebevoll Sound um sich richtig wegtragen zu lassen - Hauptsache es gefällt!

FRUITCAST #79 I éner & stelzenläufer I daydreaming away in a salak-garden

After yet another January storm, the wind finally abated just after sunset. The weather had been particularly miserable this winter, and now that the snow has melted, the whole enchanted forest had become soggy and swampy. After being clouded for over a week, the sky finally cleared up, just in time to see the near-full moon rise over the eastern horizon. 
Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) welcomed their friend Quintine, who had woken up from a 414 year hibernation a couple of months ago. The witches huddled together while watching the bright moon, which had a rare blue glow that night. 
After some time, Falke looked around and saw a faint light in the distance. Apparently there were more visitors on the way. Given the fact that none of the spotter owls had raised the alarm, the witches knew that they had nothing to fear from these visitors. The light came closer and closer, and after a while they could see that there were actually several lights. 
Finally they could see the contours of their visitor, a bearded man with a long cloak and a cone hat. This was obviously a wizard.
The man took of his hat and greeted the witches politely. He introduced himself as Eoin, the Irish wizard of light. And he was not alone. He was accompanied by 8 young wizard apprentices who were all carrying glowing crystals. The boys launched a myriad of floating lights in a circle around the clearing. And all mushrooms started to glow, each in a slightly different color. Eoin smiled and announced solemnly that this is the festival of lights, a ceremony which he is performing every year in January, to chase away the darkness of winter and make the forest ready for Spring.
The wizard gave 3 crystals to the witches, who held it in the palm of their hands. The crystal of Falke had a subtle yellow glow, while Hekske’s crystal had a mesmerizing pinkish glow. And Quintine’s crystal emitted a purple pulsing light. Intuitively, the 3 witches came together and brought their hands close together. And this had an amazing effect on the 3 crystals, which now really came alive. The witches just couldn’t believe their eyes …

“There is light in the dark”, Nico Tober is back. 
For the second time he serve us from the best audio plates in downtempo, and if they aren't 'down', he will make them. Somehow Nico manages to balance vocal melodics and lush harmonies with the more unpredictable beats. The goodiebag is open, from the Sofa we bow and give him a high-5-support.

💿 Ein Schneckspress rollt heran 💿

💭 Ein Festival wird maßgeblich hinter den Kulissen getragen. Doch wer stellt schon diese Fragen? Keiner, wenn es wie ein Uhrwerk läuft. Denn dann ist am Ende auch niemand enttäuscht. Also lasst uns kurz innehalten und all jenen gedenken, die sich einsetzen und ihre Energie den Festivals dieser Welt selbstlos spenden.

👨‍🎤 Man nehme sphärische Melodien, wabernde Basslines und knackige Claps. Würze das Ganze mit psychedelischen Synths und streue ein paar vocodergetränkte Stimmen darüber.
Et voilà: Es entsteht eine köstliche Komposition, geeignet für diverse Anlässe und Gelegenheiten. Fulica Acktras Sets erschaffen eine malerische Klanglandschaft, irgendwo zwischen Exosphäre, verwunschenem Wald und 80s-„La Dolce Vita“-Diskothek. Langsam, aber irgendwie schnell zugleich.
Als Teil des Love-Foundation-Kollektivs und CoSy Festivals spielt Fulica Acktra gerne Midtempo, noch lieber Downtempo und am allerliebsten für den guten Zweck 🙌

💿 In Wellen 💿

💭 Das Leben ist ein Auf und nieder. Mal geht’s nach oben, dann ebbt die Welle wieder. Routinen werden fortgespült, der Wesenskern aufgewühlt. Ein neuer Wendepunkt ist erreicht, findet man sich zeitnah neu und zielgerichtet geeicht?

🎵 Heute haben wir die Kunstgemeinschaft Aufbau mit einem Podcast auf KataHaifisch zu Gast. Dieses Producer Duo fand sich 2021, schaltet und waltet in Halle und hat seither zahlreiche Clubs sowie Festival- und Open Air Locations bespielt. Für ihr KataHaifisch Debüt wird es trippy, verträumt und schunkelig. Feinste Midtempo-Power umgarnt die strapazierte Seele. Mit diesem Set wird regeneriert und die persönlichen Ressourcen wieder aufgefüllt.

Wir sagen Dankeschön und wünschen beste Unterhaltung 🧡

💿 Living the Live 💿

💭 Eine elektronische Live Performance ist eine Kunst für sich, intuitiv, der Crowd entsprechend und durchaus ansehnlich. Der Bass pulsiert, die Menge lebt, der warme Klang uns zusammen webt. Dankbar für die vorgebrachte Spontanität.

🎵 Heute haben wir den französischen Artist Mula mit einem Podcast auf KataHaifisch zu Gast. Seine Vita zieren unzählige Releases auf renommierten Labels sowie zahlreiche Gigs auf Festivals und in Clubs weltweit. Für dieses anderthalbstündige Set wird es organisch-housig. Perkussive und leicht verdauliche Kost erweichen Gemüter und lassen musikalische Herzen höher schlagen. Völlig gelassen und entspannt grooven wir in den Vizefreitag und bedanken uns für diesen musikalischen Input.
