On that sunny and cold morning in early March, the little witch was relaxing on a dry patch of moss after completing the daily inspection round of her forest, saying ‘good morning’ to all the animals and birds.  Within seconds after lying down, her eyelids grew heavy and she drifted away in a blissful sleep.  Soon she was in the middle of her witchy dreamworld, flying away from the enchanted forest in the presence of her trusted friend the Eurasian eagle-owl and heading towards the surreal and mysterious world of the humans.  Since the persecutions of the 16th Century, witches have kept their distance from humans.  A pure being like a witch is in any case not capable to understand the typical human vices like greed, jealousy, discrimination and buying fake soundcloud plays.  For witches, humans look like heartless monsters.  So as a precaution, from the very first day in her forest at age 9, she kept people out of the woods with the help of all forest animals.  But now, a decade later, she slowly had become more and more curious about the human world, which – according to some other young witches – is not all bad and even contains a surprising amount of beauty.
On that day, the girl flew straight to the nearest airport.  For years, she had been watching these silver birds fly high in the sky, wondering what their purpose was and from where they came.  Before touching down, the witch cast an invisibility spell over herself and over her friend the eagle-owl so that they could land discretely near a little bush next to the runway of the airport.  From the thickets, she observed the planes taking off with the loudest roar she had ever heard (in the witch’s forests the loudest noise is the crow’s caw).  But after a while she got kind of used to all the noise and even started to admire the elegant beauty of the airplanes.  A couple of hours later she became more confident and slipped into the arrival hall of the airport.  At first the girl was overwhelmed by the bustle of all these people in a hurry, so she observed the place from a quiet corner of the hall.  When she saw the smiling humans giving so many hugs and kisses to each other in the arrival hall, it dawned to the witch that humans maybe weren’t all mean and bad after all.  The girl also noticed that many people were buying a black-colored beverage from a shop with the logo of a green mermaid.  She saw the drink pouring out of a magic machine.  So she got curious and asked her friend the eagle-owl to stealthily snatch away one cup of this brew (which was the only option given the fact that witches don’t use money).  After that, the girl held the warm cup tightly in her hands and savored the unique smell, before taking a small sip from the mysterious black drink.  It was a moment she would never forget … the very first coffee of her whole life … so tasty and intense.
After that, the witch decided to sneak out of the airport and fly back to the safety of her enchanted forest.  From that day onwards, her friend the eagle owl flew to the airport on every Sunday, bringing back every time a magic cup of warm coffee for the little witch … each time creating one moment of pure magic in the enchanted forest …

Witchtape #90 | Guest Wizards : Tober&Tober

"A mix for Pamela is an imagined love letter to a girl out of reach, it’s a tape made out of longing, lying in bed listening to all your favourite tracks, thinking about the girl in the pink dress.  Pamela is the most popular girl in school, she’s the hottest girl in the office, she doesn’t know you’re there, she doesn’t care.  She’s pretty in pink, she’s everything and more that’s great about being young and in love.  In this scenario, Pamela moved to Ibiza in the 70s to chase a dream.  A calling from Tanit brought her to Pikes, the infamous party hangout in the hills of San Antonio where she was rumoured to be the lover, friend, long lost family member or muse of Tony “the booze soaked pussy hound” who owned the place back then.  This is a copy of the tape he allegedly made for her that was found under his bed when the room was cleaned for the final time after his death.”

I like a good bit of jazz, and having been dreadfully late to the party by only starting to watch Cowboy Bebop recently, I was taken by the amazing soundtrack by Yoko Kanno credited as Seatbelts. The star of the soundtrack is the opening theme, and I wanted to try do something respectful with it by only chopping and swapping, while adding very little besides a beat and percussion. Hopefully I succeeded?

Hailing from Zurich here's Zukunft resident and Phantom Island man Kejeblos (@kejeblos) serving the 15th MFM mix. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Michael, welcome to the series. How are you holding up during these pandemic times?

K: Actually very well, thank you! I’m spending more time with my son than I usually do and I’m getting better at cooking. Besides that we are preparing some new releases for Phantom Island and I’m helping to keep the record store (Hum Records) I work at alive.

MFM: So the internet says you're a man of big taste and that you could write a doctoral thesis about the art of record digging. Can you take us back a little to where and when all that comes from?

K: First I have to thank Bjorn Schaeffner for those kind words. I was interested in music from a young age, but the record digging really started after I moved to Zurich. Here I was exposed to a lot of great record stores and I took an obvious route from House to Disco and got into it deeper and deeper. Lexx was definitely an important figure for me. He was working at a record store called Zero Zero and I was hanging out there a lot. And through that our friendship grew. At one point he invited me to join him to go t a warehouse that was connected to Zero Zero and housed half a million records. After that first visit I definitely spent a lot of time there and everything took its course.

MFM: Zurich is not particularly known for having a vibrant music scene and it's fairly remote from the cities that are. How did you get your fix as a big music appreciator pre-internet? 

K: I grew up in Liechtenstein and went to school in Feldkirch, Austria. Feldkirch is a small city, but there was a bar called Stone Club where you could listen to proper house and techno. I guess that brought me on the right track and sparked my interest. That’s also where I started djing and learned a lot about it before I was introduced to the Zurich club scene. Anyway, I guess I’m not a music appreciator pre-internet as I’m not that old :) But it was still different back then for sure. I was exposed to all the certified classics before getting deeper into more obscure music from there.

MFM: You're kinda connected to club Zukunft, correct? 

K: Yes, that is correct. That started through Lexx as well. He invited me to play there in 2008 and it really meant a lot to me. I used to visit the club regularly and it was always a dream to play there and it still is. For me it has been Zurich’s best club since it opened its doors and it still is after all these years. First and foremost because of always sticking with quality music. But another key factor is probably the diverse group of people who run the place.

MFM: At what point did you get involved in music production? 

K: Some of my old friends from Liechtenstein who also live in Zurich have been producing for a long time. I always hung out at their flat and out of this we formed Wavetest – but I always saw myself as the DJ in that group and still do. Unlike the others I’m not a trained musician. After some time we started to share a studio with Tobi and Ron (Fuga Ronto) and one day, as Flo (Florin Büchel, CCO), and I were jamming suddenly I was kind of guiding the project. That’s how the first Kejeblos record started. Without Flo, Tobi, Sandro, David, Moritz and Lexx that record would never have happened. I learned more about production during and after this first release but I still see myself predominantly as a DJ. If I have an idea, I try to pursue it. But I’m not constantly thinking about making music. 

MFM: Thanks a lot for contributing a mix! What can you tell about it?

K: Thanks for having me! I wanted it to be a reflection of different influences which turned me into the DJ I am now. A mix which flows well and is not just about track IDs and unshazamable tunes. In the best case you want to listen to it more than once. Also there are some upcoming Phantom Island bits featured.
