Absorbing the world pulsing from within.
Grooves slide like liquid, wonky glides fizz and dissolve into somewhere else - Laid-back, a little dirty and full of sly detail. Feel it soak, filter and return.

🎵 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!

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

"All We Do is Love" is an attempt to turn darkness into light.
Created in a single flow of inspiration, the track captures the raw energy of the moment when the very first spark of the idea emerged.
A special highlight: Jonas Schilling lends his own voice to the song – a rare occurrence in his body of work.

All We Do Is Love

This mixtape is about search/research of authentic sounds/rhythms & their combination. I was inspired by the culture of South America & the art/works presented on the Tchamma Yapu label. Some of them you can find in the recording 😉

From time to time I use different approaches in the mixtapes recording process... Sometimes I prepare a turnkey mix, I think through every track, their sequence, even the mixing points & techniques that I will use. Sometimes I use pure freestyle/improvisation, the maximum I know in advance what the first track will be, the rest born in the process, the flow happens by itself naturally...

Speaking about this mix... It turned out that the truth lies somewhere in the middle... I chose the first and last tracks in advance, prepared together the base/body of the mix from +-10 tracks, pressed the record button and started on a journey 🙂

 The result is 〰️100 min storytelling with elements of downtempo, tribal, ethnic, organic, chillrave, ketapop & many more...

I wish every seeker to have fun while exploring the soundscape of this session ❤

With Oscillation, nacite slows the tempo but keeps the pulse alive. True to its name, the track moves in waves: a back-and-forth between tension and release, groove and atmosphere. Deep synths, layered textures, and subtle shifts in rhythm create a hypnotic flow that draws you in without ever standing still. It’s a slower burn, but the energy never fades, just oscillates in new and unexpected directions.

By @nacitepedelen from Istanbul.

Oscillation

Geplantes Nichtstun once told us his secret: he never uses instruments as the manual suggests. This spirit runs through his discography and shines again in Paradigma, where he bends sounds into rare forms. Small imperfections give it humanity, fitting, as he's a psychiatrist. The track already works on the dancefloor, and many, including us, are excited for this release.

By @geplantesnichtstun from Bern.

Paradigma

Lila Dream reminds us of the meditative dance nights we spent in Berlin. The finest sound art with oriental influences that only come to light through the dub. Very suitable for concentrating, for coming up with new thoughts, for freeing the mind from deadlocked thought patterns. An intellectual challenge – which is fun to master.

By @haoma-music from Tehran.

Release: 15/05/2025

 German producer and dj Sangeet is a frequent guest on dtb these days! Today we present his wonderful set recorded in Goa this spring and we are looking forward to his new release "Nobody goes", which will be out on June 2nd

Sangeet / downtempo, baby! / # 69

Oh God, we've heard the hang drum so many times, and honestly, the fascination faded quickly. But now comes Oedipa Maas, who really took his time to weave it into his music. He works on his tracks until they carry a real piece of his own experience. In Twin Replica, the hang drum has a kind of renaissance. The way it’s processed and presented feels like the start of a new era of spiritual music, one that doesn’t take itself too seriously and keeps the fun alive.

By @oedipa-maas-music from London.

Twin Replica

It’s not widely known that Soble was once a major techno star. After reaching the peak of his career, he chose to slow down and embrace a more downtempo, quieter life. This track is a nod to those intense techno days – a reminder that he can still push boundaries when he wants to, now infused with the emotion and sensitivity of the Latin artist Jesus Soblechero.

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.
