🤘 Mila Stern presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 302 🤘

The Halle original and Berlin based MIla Stern joins our podcast series today with an outstanding mix from outa world: Expect a storytelling ride towards your inner side based on hypnotic synths, dubby bassdrums and micro house tracks. Sometimes also electronica. In the middle part of the Mix, she builds up more and more energy, but without overdoing it. That's good. After all, the journey to the origin of being is not yet complete....

Thanks so much for this beautifull mix.


<<< INTERVIEW >>>

✔️ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

I started DJing at DIY squat parties in Halle 17 years ago. That shaped how I play: groove-driven but open to disruption, tension, and contrast. I’m drawn to Post-Punk, Electro, and New Wave’s rough edges, but also to the hypnotic structures of techno and house that allow you to stretch time.
I like artists who push emotional weight into their sets without relying on obvious formulas—who build a world where tracks that feel slightly wrong on their own suddenly make perfect sense.

✔️ What makes good “afterhour”?

A good afterhour isn’t just about playing slower or deeper in my opinion—it’s about shifting the focus. It’s where the night dissolves into something freer, where you can take risks, build tension, create strange moments that wouldn’t work at peak time.

For me, afterhours should feel fluid and unpredictable, and that’s what my track choices reflect. Some afterhours lean into warm, hypnotic grooves that pull people into a trance, others need sharp turns—unexpected elements that snap you out of autopilot. It depends on the space, the crowd, and the energy left in the room. But whatever the approach, a good afterhour should feel earned, not just like an endless loop.

✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

I wanted the set to show different sides of what an afterhour can be—not just one mood stretched for hours, but the shifts, the tension, the looseness. It moved between hypnotic and high-energy, deep and disorienting, groove-heavy and abstract. Some tracks feel like a soft landing, others like a glitch in the matrix. Would I change anything? Probably. But afterhours aren’t about perfection—they’re about creating something that exists only in that moment. The best ones leave you unsure whether you've been dancing for 30 minutes or three hours. That’s the feeling I always try to create.

Wow, I still can't quite believe it happened. Because Gerd Janson had to cancel at very short notice due to illness, I got to play on the beautiful Seebühne (Do 26.06. 17:30-19:30). Of course there was no time to prepare anything, so I just combined a few new tracks with some of my favorites. Despite the simultaneous opening of Turmbühne and a rain shower halfway through the set, the floor was packed throughout the whole set, thanks to all of you dancers and now have fun with the recording <3

Simml (Janson) @ Seebühne Fusion Festival 2025

Golden Pudel | Bladehouse 5YRS Anniversary Tour

Another recording from this year — and one that holds a truly special place in my heart. This time, I had the privilege of being invited by two amazing bookers, which gave me the chance to share my music with you not only on my usual day, but also on Sunday. And it wasn’t just any Sunday — it was a unique, unforgettable set together with my dear friend Jellin @marcin-jellinek .
Playing side by side with him, surrounded by the energy of the crowd, the warmth of the people, and the breathtaking vibe of the festival, felt like discovering Garbicz all over again from a completely new perspective. The lights, the smiles, the dancing — everything came together in a way that made time feel suspended. This place has its own kind of magic, and the people who fill it are the heart of it all.

NOWOSAD B2B JELLIN | LOCO PARAISO | GARBICZ FESTIVAL 2025

That was big fun, Garbicz Festival is still my favorite Festival. Thanks to the Pleasure Island Crew for hosting me and all the dancers who was part of this journey 🙏🏼❤️
