Daisychain 310 - NIKS

Recording of my set on new years day 2025 at Horst Club. Playing from 9.30 until 12.30 in the garage. 

This was a gig which was very dear to my heart. Playing while the first light of the new year hit the outside world, we celebrated in a small corner of the Horst club called the garage. A stripped down stage with a focus on quality sound. When I came in at eight in the morning energies were still very high and the atmosphere was very open. My aim was to maintain this energy for a while then to easy everyone into the afternoon.

"It starts within yourself." The DJ, vocalist and producer talks about self-improvement, moving to rural Portugal and working alongside long-time partner Steffi.

There may be no voice as rich, vibrant or easily distinguishable in today's house and techno scene than that of Virginia. The Brazilian-German DJ, producer and singer has earned a name for herself as a hybrid house vocalist and a resident at Panorama Bar, where she plays sets featuring her own live vocals. Born in Munich to a family of musicians, she became enamoured with the soulful singing of artists like Sade, Whitney Houston and Tracy Chapman, who became her early guiding lights. It wasn't until her adolescence, when her sister took her to a nightclub, that it crossed her mind to begin blending these two musical worlds. By the mid-2010s, Virginia had relocated to Berlin to earnestly pursue a career in electronic music and create a new, house-focused musical vocabulary that's become completely her own. 

It was around this time that Virginia met her long-time partner, fellow DJ and producer Steffi. In this week's Exchange, she speaks with Chloe Lula about their personal and creative relationship, and their love of collaborating together in the studio and behind the decks. After more than two decades in Berlin, the couple relocated to rural Portugal in 2020, a move that's opened up a world of abundant rest and opportunity. They opened up a studio and residency called Candy Mountain (so called for its veritable candy shop of synthesizers and hardware), where they've found a new appreciation for taking things slow: going on walks in the countryside, engaging in botany and inviting friends and collaborators over to work on music. She reflects on what it means to step away from the demands of Berlin's bustling music industry and why her voice has remained such a powerful source of energy and inspiration over the course of her career, and her forthcoming album with Steffi on Dekmantel, Patterns of Vibration. Listen to the episode in full.

Nefeli @ GIMIC - 27 February 2025

Pai-lin returns to Litmus for the penultimate set of the night. Going full-steeze-ahead on an hour of early prog and tech-trance in effortless style. She keeps it subdued, deep and heads-down, maintaining an almost haunted atmospheric quality driven by way of tunes from Echotek, Phony Orphants, and Vibrasphere. It's the classics, done with absolute grace. Smoke out the room. Tip.

O//TXT – I Believe

Believing is not an act of faith,
it is an act of resistance.

When everything fades and light becomes memory,
what remains is the will not to dissolve,
to keep vibrating even within silence.

“I Believe” is the breath after the storm,
the moment when consciousness chooses to stay,
despite the fracture, despite the oblivion.

To believe means to rebuild oneself
with the fragments of what has been lost,
to transform pain into form,
and the end into possibility.

Faith is not elsewhere.
It lies in the very act of rising again,
and continuing to create light
even when the world holds none.

Acknowledgements

A special thank you to Heni Lasut for the wonderful collaboration,
for giving voice to what lies beyond words.
Your voice became light, your emotion became faith.
Through this union of frequencies, I Believe found its true meaning:
the strength to rise, to feel, to exist once more.
