I recorded this set at my last gig at the old location of the infamous @distillery-leipzig - a club close to my heart since this is one of the places where I learned how to rave. The Distillery is the oldest clubs in eastern Germany. Playing there is always so much fun for me - I love the crowd and the sound and the vibe and I was happy to get the opportunity to wave goodbye to the old location at the easter weekend. I'm looking forward to checking out the new location soon(-ish).

🤘 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.

Premiere: Mira (Berlin), Mila Stern - The Ghost Between Us [MiZi MuZiK]

Booking: sari@neptunemusic.net

Mila Stern’s far over a decade-long career as a DJ and producer has taken her from squat parties in Halle, where she first learned her craft, over the pulsing motley of Tel Aviv, to her adopted home of Berlin and the epicenter of electronic club music. Her calm, commanding skill as a selector rapidly made her a sought-after artist with regular appearances at premier festivals like Fusion, Nation of Gondwana, and Garbicz, and residencies at Berlin’s legendary Kater club and Station Endlos in Halle. Since then, she’s transcended the boundaries of the Berlin underground, bringing her standout style to the international circuit from Mexico to Kazakhstan.

Mila delivers a groove-heavy aesthetic that draws on fringe soundscapes informed by Post-Punk and Electro. What sets her apart is a willingness to embrace unorthodox sounds, explore the beauty in harshness and dissonance, and embed jarring moments in a robust and rolling substructure. As a DJ, she transports a vision of rave culture as a purist aesthetic free of nebulous superstructures, and her extended closing sets in particular powerfully encapsulate the non-judgmental freedom and eclectic expressiveness of the rave circuit. From the early days, Mila’s sound has been informed by a sense of counterculture and breaking normative boundaries. She draws on risqué sounds, has boldly carved out her niche, and relentlessly pursues her vision despite the antagonism female DJs and producers faced in the late 2000s and still do today. As a DJ, producer, event organizer, former radio host, and label co-founder, she pushes the envelope, rejects the status quo, and is driven to take her aesthetic to the limit.

In 2025, Mila co-founded electronic music label MiZi MuZiK with long-time friend and collaborator Mira. Together, they co-curate a purist platform showcasing the music they bring to stages around the world. Here, too, Mila uncompromisingly manifests her raison d'être as an artist: spotlighting raw musicianship and forward thinking music free of considerations of reach or notoriety. Few artists move on the fringe so comfortably, make avant-garde so accessible, or pursue their vision with the same bright-eyed conviction. Mila Stern brings her groove-heavy eclecticism to sound systems across the world, challenging paradigms in dance music, and forging a genre of her own.

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.
