"It was 9.30am, and Ankali was supposed to have been closed for over two hours already—but it wasn’t. The club was still completely full, so atch22 & Alpha Tracks stepped into the booth, and a spontaneous, trancey 4-hour journey began. I was so happy to see Felix quickly embrace our "endless playground" motto. Hands down, it was the longest Ankali night ever!"

"Edits' set stopped time and reminded us that no matter what happens, everything is as it should be. Everything will be okay. The chaos and rush in Ankali and Planeta Za. The million friendships. The ups when you find your friends on a dancefloor. The downs when you lose them somewhere. A real life unfolding. Edits reassured us that everything will be fine."

Ankali #044 – Edits [extract]

I was so nervous yet so excited. My favorite club, favorite booth, favorite sound system. So much responsibility. But i was ready. If not for the perfect set then for the best time at least. I was told to sleep before my set (13:30), it would be the smart move, but i stayed up. I wanted to enjoy the whole night like i was doing it for so many nights before. But could i trust my skill at this hour? Being 30 hours awake? 

I fucked up many times, now that i have the recording. But i also not fuck up many times. I felt the room was there with me, my friends were there with me. The memory is stronger than the recording. I can still taste that sweet&sour gummy i got, or the beer someone brought me. I can still hear the screams in exact places in the songs and i can remember handing out records for people to cop the tracks. 

I played in Ankali's Planeta Za. My haven for past 2 year or so. I'm super happy and proud and honored and thankful and I just want to go back to that booth again to fuck up little less this time :)

Thank you

"Pablo’s set was the best thing I’ve heard in a while. Didn’t know him before, had no idea what to expect. What we got was a proper tour de force of different genres, tempos, structures and, yes, storytelling (it’s a thing). Slick ghetto house, crazy footwork, UKG, certified bangers (*could have been one, could have been two, could have been three*) - you name it, he served it.

But what really set the set apart (you see what I did there) were the fresh ideas how to put all that shit together – like when he casually mixed an endless loop of that pre-drop swarm-of-bees part  from Joy O’s “flight fm” into his own track. I even had to go and check the players if it was some edit, but nope, mixed right there on the spot. That's how he achieved that mysterious “you get them where you want” state. He created the vibe and eased the crowd into it, which then got super receptive to his experiments as evidenced by all the oohs and aaahs and hurrahs (I might have provided some). That last part also made me realize that Pablo must be the sweetest guy ever – you could see how genuinely thankful and happy he was for all the positive feedback. Top shit, all around."

"It was one of those nights when a DJ saved my night. Two DJs actually. Completely drained and thinking about heading home, I stepped into Planeta Za and got immediately enchanted. The Wiz and the Triple C, mixing explosive chemicals – with those twinkles in their eyes. The place didn’t catch fire only because there wasn’t enough oxygen left to spark it."

“There is a certain smell in a room when the set is good. Your body notices it immediately. It’s a delicate mix of many variables. The sound needs to have all the layers and depth, then it acts like glue. People need to be present so that whenever you lock eyes with someone, you feel grounded. The bodies have got to be responding to music in a way natural for them, and then the bodily fluids start seeping into the air. But all of this can only happen when the music is delivered honestly. With love, intention, opinion opinion, and with a real dedication to sharing and connecting. I felt that when Madeleine and Daniel were playing on Ankali’s 8th Anniversary. The room smelled like the perfect set – and with that, you can’t go wrong. It fuels you to give even more.”

"When I arrived at the beginning of Dash & LuLu’s afternoon set in the Garden, the vibe was soft and calm, the sun was on fire, the air was heavy – the kind of calm before the storm… that actually came later!

Midway through my own Dark Room Service duties, I noticed the sky opened up — some people rushed under the roof, but many stayed outside, dancing in the pouring rain. It was magical: bodies moving as one, soaking wet and soundtracked by stylish prog with a [D]ash of trance. Closing their set on a high, they dropped Spray’s then unreleased remix of Ayū’s track Point Nemo. A full Drew-Barrymore-enjoying-the-rain meme moment with an electronic music twist.

Knowing how much LuLu LOVES the rain, and the Ankali garden, makes me even happier for her! <3"

"It was one of those nights. The hot, heavy and thick air was sticking to my skin. The daylight wouldn’t fade that day, and the whole city was baked. The scorched asphalt stayed warm long into the night. I didn’t want to go anywhere. A tired Friday. I made myself a kombucha with vodka and cola. The ice melted immediately. I grabbed my hip bag and stepped into the dark.

I felt a bit nauseous the moment I hit the street. Excited, I don’t even know why. The night soaked into my t-shirt; I had it under my nails. I let the night pull me willingly, I let go of the reins.

Mu’taism started his set and it was like sliding into old slippers that just wouldn’t stop moving. The vibrating, marsh-like humidity was tangible throughout the whole club. I slowly plunged in so I could keep hearing those voices coming from a strange dimension inside my belly. A few last breaths before the black water surface closes over my head, and I dissolve."

We are honored to have Czech DJ Marie Pradva join our mix series. Marie tells us: This mix was recorded at an event in Ankali club, in coldancefloor with my favorite crew from the Seismic label. I had the pleasure of playing at their festival this summer, but unfortunately, my set was cut short by the police — and to make matters worse, the recording was lost.

With this set, I finally had the chance to make up for it. It takes listeners on a proper journey: starting with deep ambient sounds to set the mood of the night, gradually building energy as the dancefloor fills, and eventually diving into the heavy 140 BPM swamp.
