Garbicz 2023 (Crazy Paradise)

Voilà - my opening set from this year's Garbicz Festival!
Which after the great opening ceremony with fortune tellers, witches, casino, magic slushy, voodoo lounge, sensual tunnel, transformation station, love shack and restaurantino, awakened the dancefloor from its "sleeping-beauty-slumber"!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make this paradise so wonderful and crazy! And of course to everyone who swung their dancy legs above the forest floor!
May there be many little paradises in all possible parts of the world through this recording!

Another thanks goes to Hanna Desmond (Instagram: @mittendrinissimo) for the amazing cover photo.

Radio Rapha @ Garbicz 2023 - Crazy Paradise

Another year, another pilgrimage to Garbicz. But this time was an extra special one. Just an hour before our set the sky burst open and it started pouring nonstop. Yet given all the chaos, the confusion and the mud deep deep in the forest we all just vibed, danced and frolicked together. The only thing that really mattered in the moment was music and music only. That is a feeling that will be engraved on our hearts forever. Much love to everyone there.

Garbicz Wiese 2023

Mira & Chris Garbicz 2023 Wiese

Experiencing Garbicz festival's utopian spirit for the first time was something truely special. 💫
I had the chance to enjoy the purest pleasures life has to offer: connection, discovery, creation, contribution and shared experiences. 💕
I met a bunch of familiar faces and strangers who turned into friends. Disconnected from life, outside the gates, in between the trees, the grass, the earth, the moss, the water and everything mother nature has to offer. 🌳 
We created moments of beauty and creativity together, which I took back home from Garbicz. 🪄
I am so grateful for this magical experience in a stunning atmosphere filled with light, Love and compassion. 🥰
Thank you for your lovely feedback, your kind words hit me hard. 🥹 And thank you to my dearest friend and partner in crime @helenewhen , sharing this experience with you meant a lot for me. 👯‍♀️

Lueasa @ Buk Corner | Garbicz Festival 2023

♢ ⧫ ∗ Once again I feel so greatful that Garbicz ground always provides a limetless playground for my dream of a perfect dancefloor. Once again I feel so greatful to have this memory of a very special set. 
People where super ready and I loved how the energy at the floor shifted into a intensity that I had the feeling you can touch the air in the end ∗ ⧫ ♢

Mimi Love @ Seefloor ⌘ Garbicz 2023

I had the incredible honor of closing out the festival after hours alongside the beautiful Garbicz main crew 🙌🏼 So many good energies, connections, synchronicities, just an unbelievable experience at Garbicz festival again. 

Thank you all who were there and shared that magic closing moments, enjoy the vibes!

since a bit of linear time has passed, I was undecided whether or not to post this mix. It began slowly, strangely, even confusingly... but from that point it was about digging out of the literal and metaphorical mud, and find the way flying. Looking back, I loved it all... this time spent in Crazy Paradise, where I needed to hold on and let go at the same time. There were the crazy dancers, one of whom accidentally pulled the plug with some serious moves but somehow became the perfect addition to the journey. Then came the rain that didn't relent for days, where many people left and many wonderful artists didn't get to play. So to all the messiness of the X year Garbicz, 
reflected here. 

Here are some key lyrical phrases.. 

we must be careful or we will never be free / cucoo! / choice / before i realise just how high i am / with a mind more resilient / i’m a survivor / i listen more than i talk / love is an opening / that’s the way i like my freaks / in heaven / there is sufficient credible evidence / that day i will always remember

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.

Madota is the musical lovechild of urban shepherds Behnam & Mehran. Iranian by birth, Canadian by upbringing, these two have come a long way from their own journeys before reuniting in Berlin.

Realistically they didn't start playing the ukulele at the tender age of 3 nor did they buy their first drum machine in kindergarten. What we know is that their deeply rooted love for electronic music led them to storm Vancouver's nightlife as DJs since 2011. This in turn prepared them to start their experimentation with making music that pulls influences from their hyphenated backgrounds. Today they embody a sound capturing their lust for soulful elements coupled with their itch for darker grooves.

Their music has already taken them to perform in renowned parties such as Garbicz Festival in Poland, Acidcase x Mayan Warrior in Berlin, Stereobar in Montreal, Katerblau in Berlin, OFF Sonar in Barcelona, ZERO in NYC and Woomoon in Ibiza.

If we think of those magical moments out on the dance floor, what likely comes to mind is that moment when the DJ and the crowd find each other in a rare kind of symbiotic balance of give and take. If you see this happening between two DJs it becomes obvious that two of a kind have found one another.
Those who love this kind of confluence will adore watching Mira and Chris Schwarzwalder doing
what they do best; playing back to back.
Having influenced the East‐German techno scene throughout the last twenty years, Mira established her musical home in Berlin’s legendary Bar25. There, she shaped her very own unique sound that can be considered as a story of these endless nights full of intensity.
Bar25 was also the place for her to meet DJ and producer Chris Schwarzwalder. Moving from his Hip Hop­‐roots towards electronic music, it was not by accident that Chris followed the beat of time to Berlin.
Anyone who has experienced their endless sets already understand why Berliners speak of the particular sound being created by both of them.
A soulful, mesmerizing sound that you will sense sinking under your skin and leaving you with a feeling of deep warm­‐heartedness.
What happens is the perfect chemistry of classic mixing skills along with ingenious live productions that really deserve to be called a moving experience.
All of their styles and sounds can, not only be discovered live behind the decks, but also on prosperous vinyl and digital releases.
