🤘 Hop'n Honey present Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.303 🤘

Today we'll keep it short and let the music do the talking. Enjoy it.

<<< INTERVIEW >>>

✔️ What are your musical influences? 

At the end of the summer of 2023, we organized a FLINTA DJ workshop as a collective - and participated ourselves. Just try it out, we thought. We liked it so much that we immediately borrowed some players and a mixer and tried it out non-stop at home. Shortly after that we played our first gig in Hildesheim. Musically we were inspired by a lot of things around us, especially downtempo. But it soon became clear that we wanted to go faster, bolder and with more vocals - and that's exactly what we did.

✔️ What makes good “afterhour”?

Fast, loud, cheeky or slow, harmonious and driving. What makes a good afterhour for us is above all the mixture of atmosphere and music - no pressure, no expectations, just people who are ready for music and let themselves drift.

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

Our set is an invitation to let go.

PREMIERE: Hamza Rahimtula, Rajasthan Folkstars - Baras Baras [ Sol Selectas ]

Release Title: Origins LP
Artist: Hamza Rahimtula, Rajasthan Folkstars
Label: Sol Selectas
Catalogue No.: SOL121
Release-Date: 24 April 2025 

Buy Link: https://www.beatport.com/release/origins/5004020 

Promotext: 

Sabo's record label, Sol Selectas, presents a sensational collaborative organic house album by Hamza Rahimtula and the Rajasthan Folkstars. It's an Indian folk fusion that combines the artists' Indian heritage with traditional house music from the Western World.

The tracks on the album transition between organic house with Indian vocals and traditional instruments, through to jazzy, soulful house, inspired by the classic sound of Chicago.

Hamza Rahimtula is already an established producer who has released music through various Sol Selectas compilations. This is the first time he has done a full release of original material for Sol Selectas, and his tracks can also be found on other prestigious record labels ranging from Nervous Records to his own WindHorse Records. He is also one of India's most in-demand underground DJs.

All ten of the tracks have been made in collaboration with the Rajasthan Folkstars who with this album are making their first official release. Rajasthan Folkstars are a group of Indian musicians who add live vocals and instruments to Hamza Rahimtula's DJ sets, and this time they have joined him in the studio to augment his album with vocals and live instruments.


"Baras Baras" is a soulful house track with jazzy piano chords and thought-provoking, spoken word vocals layered over a deep bassline, while a traditional Indian string instrument called a Sarangi plays a haunting melody. This track on the album is the most in-line with the classic sound of Chicago house.

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. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
