After 15 years of collecting music, there are a lot of tracks don’t ever find a home on a dance floor.. they don’t need to, they are for other purposes.. for mellow afternoons, moonlit nights in the garden or cozy couch sessions with rain drops knocking on the windows. They are the kind of tracks that are discovered while endless digging sessions on Bandcamp, or they pop up when riding my bike home, and they make me stop at the side of the street since I want to save them and throw them into my big dreamy track pool.
Here’s my current selection of these tracks, all weaved into a continuous story. A mellow, soft and slow story.. one that hopefully takes you to all these places that I envision, when I listened to them for the first time. Enjoy 💫

Somewhere on a magical beach, close to the restless pulse of the city, yet hidden in an oasis full of connection and creative expression.

I hope this recording brings you moments of inspiration, whether you’re creating, traveling, working, or simply relaxing ❤️

Much love,

🍃 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.

It's a set prepared for our upcoming label tour. I want to illustrate a more moody downtempo soundscape to the Chinese local audiences. There are also some great productions from my label Autumn Equinox.

In einer Welt in der misogyne, machtgeile, alte, weiße cis Männer Hass schüren, Kriege führen, spalten und gegeneinander aufhetzen und Femizide an der Tagesordnung sind, ist Liebe ein Akt der Rebellion. 

Manchmal fällt es mir schwer mutig genug zu sein in dieser brutalen Welt mein Herz offen zu lassen, aber wir brauchen Liebe, Geborgenheit und Wärme gerade vielleicht mehr als je zuvor. 
Also lasst uns zusammenrücken, laut und groß lieben und uns öfter sagen, wie lieb wir uns haben. 

Ich wünsche mir, dass wir in einer Welt leben, in der jeder Mensch lieben kann, wen er/sie/ they fucking nochmal lieben möchte. 

Und denkt immer daran: Hass ist krass, aber Liebe ist krasser. 

In aufrichtiger Liebe 

Eure Coco

FM4 Swound Sound 1464

Une pulsation fluide qui glisse sans effort. Le groove se construit autour de micro-variations organiques, de percussions fines et de mélodies légères. C’est un mouvement constant, naturel, qui évoque l’eau, la respiration et l’équilibre intérieur.

🌬️✨ SACRED AIR / ALBUM

SACRED AIR est un voyage intérieur dédié aux éléments invisibles : le souffle, la lumière, les rêves, la nuit, la terre et le ciel. Chaque track explore une forme différente d’aération spirituelle — du vent qui murmure aux lueurs de l’aube, de la profondeur terrestre à l’ascension céleste.

L’album se déploie comme un rituel moderne :

des basslines chaleureuses,

des percussions organiques,

des pads expansifs,

des textures sacrées,

et une progression émotionnelle lente, cinématique, méditative.

Dans SACRED AIR, chaque morceau est un souffle, un espace, un passage.
Un équilibre entre le terre et l’air, le corps et l’âme, le visible et l’intangible.

C’est une ode à ce qui nous traverse sans que nous puissions le retenir — un hommage à la beauté de ce qui ne se voit pas mais se ressent profondément.
