By the year of 2021 Takkra has evolved into a 7 piece live band as the core team joined by 3 vocalist: Molek Keri, Julcsi Szomr&aacute;ky and Donna Terra.

Consequently vocals have become more prominent and the live shows turned into real ecstatic medicinal therapy seances.

During our jams the songs have naturally reshaped in terms of arrangements, structures and melodies, the overall vibe has drifted towards a more organic, live sound.

Reactivated was recorded during several live sessions and gigs between 2012 and 2023. 
We felt it is important to share these tunes in their raw, unpolished form that perhaps capture some of the magic of the live Takkra shows.

Recorded and mixed by Mr Dure and David Vigh.

·-·=» MŎNɅDɅ BRɅHMɅ 034 : FRIENDS OF HANNES : WHAT IS REAL? «=·-·

The Monads keep moving – and the ride just gets wilder!

Say hello to the next dazzling chapter in our MONADA BRAHMA podcast series: „Friends of Hannes“ in da monadic house! Always ready to surprise, this duo refuses to be pinned down to a single genre. Their sound oscillates between raw, bass-heavy drive and delicate, melancholic finesse - each tune an unexpected gem.

Hailing from Munich and Berlin, electronic duo Friends of Hannes crafts immersive soundscapes that effortlessly blur the lines between 🌌 techno, 🏠 house, and 🌿 downtempo. Peter and Max first met during their Munich studies and have since transformed their cross-city partnership into a creative edge - fusing the distinct electronic cultures of both German metropolises.

Opening with the timeless question “What is real?”, their MONADA BRAHMA podcast takes listeners on a sonic voyage through shadows and light, sprinkled with a selection of Monada tracks, handpicked just for the ride. Beginning with spacious downtempo textures, the mix gradually unfolds into darker, faster, and more introspective territories - always maintaining an undercurrent of hope and dreaminess 🌱. Deep, pulsating basslines, organic percussion 🥁, and hypnotic rhythms weave together into a contemplative yet uplifting experience. This is no short trip - expect an extended journey full of nuance and detail.

And the story doesn’t stop here: Friends of Hannes have already joined further monadic projects. With juicy remixes and fresh originals on the horizon, we’re beyond excited to see what culinary delights they’ll cook up next. But for now - it’s time to buckle up and dive into their “What is Real?” MONADA BRAHMA. 🎶

Stay wild, stay vibin’!

🍃 Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308 🍃

[ GER] 
Nach einer etwas längeren Pause in unserer Podcastreihe begrüßen wir heute Xia Ke aus Shanghai. Der sympathische Producer, DJ und Labelbetreiber mit dem Hang zu organischen Klängen im deepen Downtempogewand ist uns bereits vor einiger Zeit aufgefallen. Seine Mixe bestechen durch eine große Dichte an Atmosphäre, welche durch überwiegend cineastische Übergänge erzeugt wird. Quasi ein Sound der auch gut zu unserer Reihe passt. Ein wenig angepasst hat er diesen aber trotzdem. aber hört selber und findet den Unterschied. 

Tausend Dand Xia für diese feine Reise ins Dickicht der organischen Afterhour. 

<<-->>

[ ENG ]
After a slightly longer break in our podcast series, we welcome Xia Ke from Shanghai today. We noticed this likeable producer, DJ, and label owner with a penchant for organic sounds in deep downtempo guise some time ago. His mixes captivate with their dense atmosphere, which is created predominantly by cinematic transitions. It's a sound that fits well with our series. He has adapted it a little, though. But listen for yourself and see if you can spot the difference. 

A thousand thanks to Xia for this fine journey.

>>> INTERVIEW <<<

About this mix:
Once upon a dream, the dreamer suddenly realized that he was the creator of it all. In that instant, magic unfolded: boundaries dissolved, and music rose like a hidden bridge to parallel worlds. Invisible dimensions, always present along the path, revealed themselves to his heart, guiding him on an endless journey in service of evolution.
Luca
Il était une fois un rêve. Et dans ce rêve, le rêveur découvrit qu’il en était le véritable créateur. À cet instant, la magie prit forme : les frontières disparurent, et la musique surgit comme un pont secret vers des mondes parallèles. Des dimensions invisibles, toujours présentes sur le chemin, s’ouvraient à son cœur, le guidant dans un voyage éternel au service de l’évolution.

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome ELIXIR (@schaklelixir)

Recorded live at the Mystic Creatures Festival in Poland on September 7th, 2025, this set captures a magical moment in time—the closing sunrise of an unforgettable festival season. After a stormy Saturday, the skies opened as the first rays of light broke through, blessing ELIXIR’s final festival performance of the year with warmth and radiance. It was a moment of synchronicity—music, nature, and community merging into one.

ELIXIR is more than a name—it’s a potion. A mixture of (E)lisa & Lexy, equal parts intoxicating and enchanting. Their sound blends the allure of dark indie dance with the pulse of nasty melodic house, infused with sultry vocals and drops that hit with undeniable force.

Since coming together five years ago, the duo has honed their alchemy on international stages, from German clubs such as the legendary Kater Blau to renowned festivals including Fusion and Bucht der Träumer*. With roots behind the decks dating back to 2014 and 2018 respectively, ELIXIR continues to brew a sound that is both dangerous and irresistible—poisonous but delicious.

Their Journey Series recording from Mystic Creatures Festival is not just a set—it’s a vessel of memory, energy, and emotion. A gift from one season of magic to the next.
