🎵 Luft & Lube [ at ] ectstatic.cuties im GLASHAUS [ Live-Special ] 🎵

Recording date: 14.02.2025
 Venue: Im Glashaus (Botanischer Garten Marburg)
Event: ecstatic.cuties

Today we have some unknowns in our luggage, who captivated us with their sensual and very hypnotic sound. This is regularly a hybrid set with the addition of a Roland HD20, which is used at appropriate moments to create a special event.

We welcome the duo Luft & Lube from the tranquil city of Darmstadt. As part of the Slow Bar. Label, they have already rocked several venues. 

Attached as always our sweet interview:

<<<INTERVIEW>>>

✔️ What makes a good afterhour?
For us, what makes a good afterhour is that people let themselves be touched & that you can feel this fine atmosphere on the dancefloor, that dancing & living together is possible, that everything is allowed to be & that there is a connection beyond the wild party night, that this bound remains.

✔️ Any thoughts about the event and experiences during the gig?
Fauna rising!
What a wonderful night - like in a tale with fog, love, lots of special plants & flowers, mystic creatures, with water dripping from the glass, lights mirroring in the water, bass shaking the botanical greenhouse, lovely hugs & talks!

We were enchanted in a very unique & magical place - between plants, mist & various art. An evening like a dream. A very special space created by the lovely ecstatic cuties crew: Ecstatic energy on the dancefloor, admiring the exotic plants, workshops & ginger shots. A sober party where the focus was on experiencing together & getting in touch with each other. Amazement & letting go completely in dance. An invitation to experience an aware space & to live it up. We loved the atmosphere on the floor, the fiery, irrepressible energy of the dancing beings, to whom we had to play three encores... A profound experience for us that we won't soon forget. So wonderful, because the focus was not on consumption, but on togetherness, co-creation & art - that's how we love it.

The recording is a hybrid set, which allowed us to keep reigniting the fire & create moments where people were just screaming, whooping & joining in the music. Towards the middle of the set a lot of people started clapping along to the beat & at 1:03:00 there is a moment in the set when the music suddenly shuts down for a second - we did that so people could hear
themselves because they were clapping so loudly at that moment. It was a magical moment for everyone who was there! Can you catch the vibe?
Our impulse for the set (& at the same time our message in general:)
Go to a party sober, take good care of yourself & your loved ones & drink enough water!

<<<< INTERVIEW >>>>

✔️ Was sind deine musikalischen Einflüsse? 

Ich habe im Berlin der 90er Jahre angefangen elektronische Musik aufzulegen und zu produzieren. Aufgehört habe ich damit bis heute nicht. 


✔️ Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?

Die große Kunst, niemandem mit seiner Musikauswahl auf die Nerven zu gehen, ist wohl das Qualitätsmerkmal eines jeden Afterhour DJ's. 


✔️ Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?

Stell Dir vor Du stehst am Meer, auf einer kleinen Insel ca. 800km über dem Polarkreis. Die Sonne knallt Dir ins Gesicht, der Wind weht stark und Du steckst Barfuss im kalten Sand.

✔️ Wie hast du den Gig empfunden?

Das Set wurde am Sonntag Mittag auf dem Soria Gathering Festival (Midnight-Sun Festival) auf der Norwegischen Insel Værøy, Lofoten aufgenommen.

Es war das Sommersonnen-Wochenende, was so weit über dem Polarkreis, 24 Stunden lang Tageslicht bedeutet. Die Bühne stand direkt am Strand und die Kulisse der rauen Norwegischen Landschaft war wirklich sehr beindruckend.

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.

PREMIERE: Rambal Cochet - Infect Me [ Sengiley Recordings ]

SENGILEY WAX rolls out the second part of the Russian series - and it smells fried.
Inbound, Volta Cab. Rambal Cochet on the way out. A man with a history, but here history is not important. What matters here is a sound that doesn't try to please. It just exists. Thick, straightforward, addictive.

Magma Resort LP Volume.1 is the producer's musical spectrum here and now, ranging from canonical Trance to dips into ambient, as well as reviving the sound of progressive house music.

Constantine recounts: ‘This album was created using a Reason DAW, Korg Minilogue and Korg Electribe. It was inspired by the magical atmosphere (in Krasnodar it always is), my move from St Petersburg to Krasnodar, as well as nostalgia for something new, but at the same time so familiar’.

B1. Infect Me - proggy hyper pop vibe with sci-fi illusions.

Promotext:

Lion, The Lion is Definition's summary of a phase of life. It roars with an unmistakable sense of strength, woven into every resonating beat and drifting melody.

Through shimmering synth textures, driving basslines, and subtle vocal traces, it carries you across a spectrum of emotional states—from feverish, pulsing energy to meditative introspection. Each track feels like a small yet significant battle won, a testament to resilience in the face of challenges.

Percussion elements build tension, then dissolve into moments of calm, highlighting the dynamic interplay of fragility and power. Beneath its surface lies a constant wave of determination, anchoring the album’s softer elements in a foundation of raw strength.

Twisting tempos and sudden shifts in atmosphere propel you forward, ensuring that no section remains complacent or still. There is both grit and grace here, fused together in a complete experience that summons courage from the very first note.

As the journey unfolds, a quiet resolve emerges, a promise of hope amid challenging times. Ultimately, the record stands as a moving ode to perseverance, asserting that true might resides not in grand gestures, but in the steady, unwavering pulse that keeps us going.

🎵 Padouc (live) [ at ] TURTUR [ Live - Special ] 🎵

The fascinating artist and thoroughbred musician Padouc has been accompanying us at Afterhour Sounds for several years now. The Hamburg native is known for his individual, organic sound with a penchant for melody and deep sound density. Cinematic music in other words. He also plays instruments during his live sets. So he's not just a live artist with a DAW and a drum pad. We booked him ourselves once, and we had him with a TRACK on one of our compilations. 
Today we can enjoy an exclusive recording of his latest live set from the Turtur.
_______________________________

<<< INTERVIEW >>>

✔️ What are your musical influences? 
I always have different musical phases and listen to a lot of different music. Some artists that have influenced my sound a lot are: Rampue, Kerala Dust, Levon Minassian, Boygenius, Fred Again, Lazarusman, Medium Build, Holly Humberstone and my friends: Gogi Gunia, Bliz Nochi, Marisa Lia, Martin B, HVDN and DJ Sharky. 


I started learning drums when I was 12 and played in metal/grunge/cover bands. 

When I was about 20, I started DJing in Innsbruck. 

Later at 25 I added piano/guitar and then vocals and duduk. I have been producing music for about 8 years now.

✔️ What makes good "afterhour"?
Outside, in good weather, somewhere in the shade, preferably with someone with a large roof terrace! Everyone is lovely with the guarantee that no one outside will let the fun pass at any time. Matching set: Rampue live* 2015 Fusion.

✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set? What was your experience of the set you recorded?

My live set is a never ending process and there are a lot of people in there that I have met or that have shared music with me that I have worked on. 100% of the set is unreleased material that can only be experienced there or in the recording. That's why every set is very special and personal to me, because emotional and creative moments are saved there. I'm not a diverse act, but at least the music is. I am very interested in languages, cultures and details.

The gig was at Turtur. A very nice club in Wilhelmsburg on the other side of the Elbe. It was the reopening that night, I had the perfect slot 11:30-1 and the club was packed! So many of my friends were there and everything went really well. One or two tears of joy were shed. Afterwards we hung out at the fire bowl in the chill area, a dream! (THANKS to Batte for the booking)

🤘 sophya presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 306 🤘

Today, sophya takes us on an extremely slow but very groovy journey through the world of downtempo electronic music. There's something of 2005 about it, but nothing oldschool here. Quite the opposite, in fact. The bass pushes, the drums rattle, and the groove will literally lull you to an hypnotic state. There's also a hint of disco, deep house and definitely keta pop. It's great fun to spend almost two hours with her. If afterhour sounds, than here. 

Thanks so much for this beauty made of dreams. 

<<< INTERVIEW >>>

What is your musical background?

I come from a very musical household – I learned to play piano and guitar at an early age, and music has always been a way for me to process my emotions. Before I got into electronic music, I lost myself in all kinds of other genres, and that still shapes how I approach music today. I don't want to tie myself to one specific sound – I try to follow my intuition and blend different genres together.

What I always connect with, though: bounce, deep and emotional tracks, and a good dose of trash.


What makes a good afterhours party?

For me, the afterhours are now often the best part of a night out. It's when the loud, lively night is over and we move on to a more relaxed setting with a small group of people hanging out. For me, a good afterhour needs the right people, a cosy place, lots of mischief and laughter, good drinks and snacks, and of course, the right soundtrack.


What would you like to share with us about your mix?

After a long night, I'm often exhausted and like to make myself comfortable somewhere. When the music picks me up and slowly breathes a little energy back into me while I'm still on this dreamy, tired but satisfied wave, that's one of the best experiences. That's what I've tried to achieve with this set.

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  🌈 🎵 🪩
