FM4 Swound Sound #1375

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Esmaeili (@jan_sml) & ZHTA (@zhta)

Esmaeili (@jan_sml) and @zhta both come from West Germany, met in Istanbul and are based in Berlin. Ever since, they share a common love for downtempo music and various spheres of slower sounds.

This set is a live recording from the solidarity party for beloved Mensch Meier, in an effort to help the club survive a few more months before it sadly closes at the end of the year. Despite this sad background, it was a great pleasure for the couple to enjoy another sunny and sweaty Sunday afternoon in the Meier garden.

After a dark night of fast and straightforward techno, @esmaeili and @Zhta turned down the tempo and fired up the afterhour dancefloor for two fog and bass-heavy hours. Several wheat beers were emptied and people danced in little paddling pools. 

Thanks to all the wonderful dancers who took part, to @anselmus-berlin for the invitation and to the whole @menschmeier_berlin crew for making the magic happen all these years ♡

I hope you will enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Journey Series

Esmaeili & ZHTA [Mensch Meier Recording] [Journey Series]

Wow...what on earth was that? We are still speechless and filled with happiness when we think back to this unique ride last Sunday at @kater_blau. The four-hour trip was pure delight, which had a lot to do with the incredible vibe on the dancefloor. Thanks to all the dancers for the insane energy, thanks to the best friends in the world who actively provided the very special moments, and thanks to @mattmosphere (you are just the best) for this repeated opportunity and the trust!

This voyage will always have a very special place in our hearts. ❤️

Last but not least, a big thank you to all the artists, without whose great tracks we would never have been able to put together a set like this.

AFTERHOUR SOUNDS COMPILATION VI

During an eventful year, filled with new events at new venues, we did not forget about our oldest and most important passion: Curating music and listening to inspiring artists while still having the talent radar switched on to full power.
Just as afterhours are episodes, oscillating between rest and adventure, our channel has always tried to connect likeminded music-lovers while allowing for individual expeditions. This compilation is an expression of this as it contains productions of various electronic subgenres, reaching from Down- to Mid- up to House tracks.
Curated by our event-bumblebee, Maria Theresia von Eberg (MTvE), we found that a new wish and focus began to take its shape: To provide an opportunity for FLINTA acts to release their productions and encourage collaborations between experienced producers and newbies in this field: To provide an opportunity for FLINTA acts to release their productions and encourage collaborations between experienced producers and newbies within that field. We feel like this intention has successfully been achieved since more than 60% of the tracks have been created by FLINTAs alone or with FLINTA-participation. So, that the release date is only one day away from the International Women’s Day on March 8th seems to be more than a lucky coincidence. 
A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all acts, who contributed to our compilation. We are so grateful for your trust and efforts. This time, we have decided to donate all earnings of track sales to the political initiative "Zentrum für Politische Schönheit", which we consider worthy of our support. Enjoy!

ZHTA & Esmaeili - Juice [ Afterhour Sounds ]

💭 Time is a mysterious construct, and the idea of time travel is an interesting and widely explored concept. Could we build a machine that allows us to travel to the past or future? Just press a button on a control panel, and suddenly, decades pass in the blink of an eye. The concept of time travel has fascinated scientists, philosophers, and storytellers for centuries. While theories like relativity suggest that time may not be as linear as we perceive, the actual construction of a time machine remains purely speculative. It might be possible, but for now, it remains unproven.

🎵 Esmaeili makes his KataHaifisch debut Release with two amazing bangers. Both tracks are melodic, featuring expressive and strong basslines. Precise reese basses blend seamlessly with cool bass stabs that kick in at just the right moment. Embedded in classy leads, the subtle vocals add an extra groove to the mix. "Ride or Die" takes a more minimalistic approach, while "Time With It" carries a catchy potential, making it perfect for massive dancefloors. With love and passion, this EP is crafted for all midtempo enthusiasts and dedicated dancers.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming.

KataHaifisch wurde 2015 als eine Podcastreihe auf SoundCloud gegründet. 
Der Ursprungsgedanke? Neuen Talenten aus der elektronischen Musikszene eine Bühne bieten. Was als Sprungbrett für Newcomer*innen begann, wurde schnell auch zur Anlaufstelle für etablierte Artists und Künstler*innen aller Art.

2020 folgte der nächste Schritt: Aus einem Podcast Projekt wurde ein eigenes Label mit Fokus auf Down- und Midtempo. Seitdem gibt’s zu den wöchentlichen Donnerstagspodcasts auch regelmäßige Releases auf allen gängigen Plattformen.

Ob Neuentdeckung oder Lieblingssound, alle Musikliebhaber*innen sind herzlich dazu eingeladen, bei uns reinzuhören, zu stöbern und zu genießen.
Feinste elektronische Vibes für Seele, Herz & Tanzfläche 😽
