The Call is not about picking up the phone, as some might assume. For Beat Laudan, it's about answering a deeper, inner calling—a powerful urge to create epic melodies that carry his inner worlds out into the open. Formerly known under the alias Nu'bal, the Swiss-born artist now embarks on a fresh chapter of his musical journey, returning with a series of heavy-hitting tracks on Amselcom / Spirit Dance.

Written by @beatlaudan in Sardinia.

AFTERHOUR SOUNDS COMPILATION VI

During an eventful year, filled with new events at new venues, we did not forget about our oldest and most important passion: Curating music and listening to inspiring artists while still having the talent radar switched on to full power.
Just as afterhours are episodes, oscillating between rest and adventure, our channel has always tried to connect likeminded music-lovers while allowing for individual expeditions. This compilation is an expression of this as it contains productions of various electronic subgenres, reaching from Down- to Mid- up to House tracks.
Curated by our event-bumblebee, Maria Theresia von Eberg (MTvE), we found that a new wish and focus began to take its shape: To provide an opportunity for FLINTA acts to release their productions and encourage collaborations between experienced producers and newbies in this field: To provide an opportunity for FLINTA acts to release their productions and encourage collaborations between experienced producers and newbies within that field. We feel like this intention has successfully been achieved since more than 60% of the tracks have been created by FLINTAs alone or with FLINTA-participation. So, that the release date is only one day away from the International Women’s Day on March 8th seems to be more than a lucky coincidence. 
A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all acts, who contributed to our compilation. We are so grateful for your trust and efforts. This time, we have decided to donate all earnings of track sales to the political initiative "Zentrum für Politische Schönheit", which we consider worthy of our support. Enjoy!

Embraced by the serenity of the night, I found myself seated in a dimly lit room, lost in dreams of unfathomable realms – worlds that lay beyond my grasp of reality yet felt oddly familiar, like the everyday experiences I know so well. Sublime cosmic sounds reached my ears, touching my very essence and compelling me to intuitively weave them together into a spontaneous musical sequence. In that moment, I observed as art effortlessly created itself through my soulful vessel, transporting surreal images of visionary worlds onto the canvas of my trusted musical tools...

Art of Downtempo is thrilled to present the headlining original composition from Room 420 – the label’s debut EP by the ingenious sound weaver I’m Mady. With a distinctive signature sound and unparalleled creative vision, I’m Mady crafts a captivating sonic experience seamlessly blending contemplative, moody tones with deep introspection, at the same time inviting hypnotic reflection and a profound journey into uncharted dimensions of musical thought that subtly push the boundaries of the genre.

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  🌈 🎵 🪩

Amselcom has forever been near the forefront of change, exposing new ideas and giving insight through music and creativity. Our goal is always to bring the world closer by removing barriers and letting sound and rhythm demonstrate humanity's true, loving nature.

My name is ARTUR NAHRATOV. I'm from Minsk, Belarus. I’m fond of djing more than 10 years. Since 2018 I have been addicted to downtempo, ethnic, midtempo, organic, ketapop, tribal, folktronica, chillrave 📿

Since then, a lot of slow rave parties in Minsk (Belarus) have been organized & many sets at different venues & cities played, among them Istanbul, Tbilisi, Milan, Ericeira/Lisbon, Ponta Delgada/Azores and others 🌍

Over the last 6 years, more than 30 mixes have been recorded for different worldwide downtempo communities/labels such as @cosmovisionrecords, @kosamusica, @octorecords, @plurpurarecords, @planetibiza, @shango-records, @somethingslow and more 🎶

MELAMANOS is my new & actual dj-project. Under this name I'm playing different types of downtempo & midtempo music 💚

ALPAQUA is my downtempo ex-project. It's about relaxed and smooth music, which is chillrave, chill out, ethnic, organic, tribal, ketapop, slow house & techno, multicultural electronica etc. 🤍

AN13 is also my ex-project, specialized in minimal, deep-tech-melodic house & techno directions 🖤
