(Fairly tale continued from Witchtape #96)

It was now two weeks since the 9 year-old blond girl had arrived in the witch’s forest and so far the speed and ease of her transformation from human to witch was absolutely stunning.  Every day, the green-eyed little witch was teaching the blue-eyed little girl about the plants and animals of the forest, as well as her very first fun witch spell, making little floating lights at night.  So far the little girl had a very pleasant stay in the witch’s forest, but she was also a bit lucky that it was the time around the summer solstice, which is probably the easiest month of the year to walk around barefoot and spend the night in the open air.  On that day though, the long spell of fine weather came to an abrupt end as dark clouds amassed above the woods and the rumbling sound of thunder came closer and closer.  As witches live in the open air, they don’t have much shelter for the rain.  A small rain shower is easy to weather as the witches go and stand under a big beech tree.  But the little witch saw immediately that this thundershower was just too big, so she activated plan B to avoid them ending up soaked to the bone.  The little witch and the blonde girl went to the tree nymph and all 3 women slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and gave them to a family of badgers, who tucked them away in a dry place in their underground network of tunnels.  
And then they all waited for the rain to start and the magic to happen.  They all heard the soothing sound of the rain coming closer and closer, until they felt the thick raindrops fall on their naked skin.  The blonde girl was amazed how pleasant this feeling was, with the warm summer rain gently massaging her skin.  The 3 girls spontaneously started a rain dance around the totem pole which had been erected on the trunk of a dead tree.  This tree had been cut down 5 years ago by a wicked logger (see Witchtape #14 by Phil.Ok!) and the beautiful totem pole had been patiently carved out by a family of woodpeckers, in honor of the defunct tree.  The girls also danced around the little oak tree which the little witch had planted as a replacement for this ill-fated tree and which is destined to live for 1000 years and become the future mother tree of the forest.  After that, the 3 women sang a few sweet ancient songs, before wading into the nymph’s pond and floating gently on the water surface, while the thick raindrops gently massaged their faces.  It was so much fun that the little blond witch started to giggle spontaneously.  
And after the rain had stopped near sunset time, the girls got out of the pond, dried their bodies and hair and slipped back into their immaculately white dresses, before wrapping up this beautiful day with a long and tender group hug …

kośa (https://soundcloud.com/kosh-a) presents "Remain calm“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.222

Our No. 222 today comes from an artist who has been accompanying me musically more or less continuously for about 2 years. To overhear him is basically pretty really hard. Not only because of his high output and commitment, but especially because of the high quality that can be found in all his mixes. So is the case with ours.

We are talking about kośa who also runs the well-known label Kosa which preferably stands for experimental downtempo that can be classified somewhere between world music and slow deep house. As a solo artist Tarun is very successful on the road. Among other things, he has played at the well-known Berlin club Kater Blau several times.

His recorded mix begins like an ode to the Bronx of the 80s when hip hop played with oriental music elements. As the tape progresses, it becomes deeper and more driving, without losing its slow character. In the process, he reveals a wide range of subgenres...Towards the end, Tarun returns to the starting point, skillfully closing the circle. In his set, he provides equal amounts of release and tension. A perfect formula for an easy-going, danceable afterhour. Fasten your seatbelts...

We thank you so much for this special kośa set. Stunning and surprisingly good. If one-of-a-kind, it's here. Chapeu.

We are delighted.

____________

Unsere Nr. 222 kommt heute von einem Künstler, der mich seit ungefähr 2 Jahren mehr oder weniger ununterbrochen musikalisch begleitet. Ihn zu überhören ist im Grund ziemlich wirklich schwer. Nicht nur auf Grund seines hohen Outputs und Engagement, sondern vor allem wegen der hohen Qualität, die sich in all seinen Mixen wiederfindet. So auch bei unserem. 

Die Rede ist von kośa der zudem das bekannte Label Kosa betreibt welches vorzugsweise für experimentellen Downtempo steht, der sich irgendwo zwischen Worldmusic und slowen Deep House einordnen lässt. Als Solokünstler ist Tarun überaus erfolgreich unterwegs. So bespielete er unter anderem den bekannten Berliner Club Kater Blau bereits mehrere Male.

Sein eingespielter Mix beginnt wie eine Ode an die Bronx der 80er als der Hip Hop mit orientalischen Musikelementen spielte. Im weiteren Verlauf wird das Tape immer deeper und treibender, ohne seinen slowen Charakter zur verlieren. Dabei offenbart er eine große Bandbreite von Untergenren…Gegen Ende kehrt Tarun wieder zum  Ausgangspunkt zurück und schließt somit gekonnt den Kreis. In seinem Set sorgt er gleichermaßen für Ent- und Anspannung. Eine perfekte Formel für eine locker-flockige, tanzbare Afterhour. Schnallt euch an…

Wir danken Dir vielmals für dieses besondere Set kośa. Umwerfend und überraschend gut. Wenn Unikat, dann Hier. Chapeu.

Wir sind entzückt.

💿 Was können wir wissen 💿

💭 In der Geschichte der Menschheit gibt es schier unzählige ungeklärte Ereignisse. Das beginnt beim plötzlichen Verschwinden der Hochkultur aus dem Industal vor 3500 Jahren, geht über den Bau monumentaler Gebäude aus Stein und endet (nicht) bei Sichtungen und Berichten über UFOs. Unsere Welt erscheint als gründlich erforscht und wissenschaftlich akkurat dokumentiert, jedoch gibt es noch so viele Geheimnisse und Ungeklärtes zu lüften. Zum einen gibt uns die Kleinstwelt der Teilchen und Quanten, als auch das große Ganze in Form des Weltalls, Rätsel auf. Zu unseren Lebzeiten werden unmöglich alle Ungereimtheiten aufgeklärt und entschlüsselt. Vieles bleibt weiterhin im Verborgenen, und uns nur die Spekulation. Im Schnitt wissen wir viel weniger über die Welt, als wir annehmen. Ein Grund mehr, sich in demütiger Dankbarkeit zu üben.

🎵 Der Podcast von San Miguel beginnt mit samtweicher Melancholie. Es ist die Sehnsucht nach einem Tanz, umgeben von schönen Menschen in einem Setting der Hingabe. Dieser Drive erscheint ebenso mystisch wie tiefgehend und durchzieht den gesamten Podcast. Außergewöhnlich fesselnd zieht die Musik die Aufmerksamkeit in ihren Bann. Hier verlieren sich Gedanken in Emotionen und am Ende bleibt nur der 4/4-Takt im großen Ganzen.

Dankeschön 🤍

"Still waters run deep, nautic seas run deeper. Born and raised in northern Germany and landed in Berlin, Isabeau Fort is dancing proof that constant winds and high tides shape for life. From light breezes to solid waves, her sets deliver impact – always on point, with a stunning sense for vibe and vivre. She creates sonic atmospheres born in the moment, but lasting the whole night and day. Forget the Beaufort Scale and dive into the Isabeau Fort Effect"

mixed by @isabeaufort

Capitŭlum XXXVIII | Isabeau Fort | "Endless Blue"

Big thanks for an unforgettable bash! The mingling, the dancing, the deep convos, and the music that just wouldn't stop – absolute epicness. Much appreciation for getting booked for the after party, too – seven solid hours of swing that had the place buzzing, especially in the company of my beloved friends in the comfort of the magical lada. 

I've crafted a mix from a chunk of that set, but nothing beats the magic of the live moment. The present always packs its own unique vibe. Dive into the slow flow and enjoy the ride!
Loads of love, Sandra! 🌟

The wonderful guardian of mystical forests, an honor to have a Witchtape on Sunset Grooves. To be honest no need to introduce Hekske's music and everything you need to know can be understood through the mix and the lovely interview. One of those mixes you just click and let yourself float... 

Interview with @Hekske 
*********************
Good morning Hekske 😊

➢ I hope you agree to answer a few random and fun questions to share with our listeners?

Sure, it’s the first time of my life I’m doing some sort of interview (and probably the last time as well). So let’s do this 😊

➢ To start you off tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

Well, generally I already wake up in a good mood every morning so no need to listen to music. Occasionally I’m listening to ‘4ware’ from Deadmau5 to pump myself full of energy for the whole day.

➢ About three years ago you decided to invite your first DJ guest onto your witchtapes podcast. Tell us briefly what was your dream then and how has it maybe changed today?

Well, in early 2017 I made the very first mini-mixes of my life (these are witchtapes 1-2-3). At that point I was contacted by a Tunisian artist named Samer Soltan and he asked whether he could release a mix on my soundcloud page. I replied that my page was not a channel, only to change my mind 24 hours later, so we gave it a go and that became Witchtape #4. And the rest is history. It was only 8 months later (with Witchtape #14) that I started writing fairy tales about the now-famous little witch. So it really took quite a while before my channel really took shape. At the start of my channel I was basically just clueless so there actually was no dream or vision … it just happened.

➢ As someone who also runs a podcast series, what are some of the criteria when inviting artists to do a mix for you?

When I sense that an artist is resonating with the mystic-magic vibe of my channel, an invitation may follow sooner rather than later 😊

➢ 2020 has been a difficult year for the music scene, how has it changed within your hometown and what do you think will be different in the future?

Oh well, my hometown is easily the sleepiest town in Belgium, with no such thing as a music scene, apart from a carnival band named ‘Fret Tet & The Swinging Tepelboys’ which you can translate as ‘Fred Tit & The Swinging Nippleboys’. But given the dramatic corona situation in Belgium, the nipples have stopped shaking in 2020 … the carnival parade of 2021 has already been cancelled so I guess the nipples will only resume swinging in 2022.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

Last summer, while doing some paintwork in my house, I was listening on repeat to ‘Long Story Short’, an absolutely epic podcast from Vincent Gericke from 3 years ago. I decided to make some kind of tribute mix and picked 3 tracks from ‘Long Story Short’ and started weaving some new tracks around that, while preserving most of the original atmosphere. After that I got a bit stuck for a few weeks until out of the blue an unknown DJ gave me the id of a track I had requested over 1 year ago. So that became my opening track. Still the middle section didn’t work out, until all of a sudden I realized that I had an unreleased Vincent Gericke track somewhere on a USB stick (which he sent to me 2 years ago). And suddenly all pieces fell together
