So much has happened in the world since our last event - our 5 year birthday in February 2020. That fantastic night feels like a very long time ago.
While the world around us is slowly finding its way back to "normal", we, behind Folkets Haus, are now in a different place in life than we were back then. After more than 40 events over a 5-year span, we decided it was time to channel our energy in other projects.
So, friends, join us for the final round of Folkets Haus! 
One last dance, and then goodbye.
We wouldn't want to go quietly, but decided to do it with a bang. Our final dance will be part of our beloved Folkets Hus' 50 years anniversary - and we can't wait to take over the café one last time.


In the past few days, since we announced this would be the last round of Folkets Haus, we received a large number of messages, questions and comments. Many of these, both online and offline, pointed out that it was sad, that this adventure of ours was coming to an end.
While we understand the sentiment (and share it to a certain degree), when we look back on the past 6½ years (!) and - with this - 42 events (!), we couldn't be happier and prouder of what Folkets Haus has been and has become.
What began as a rough and unfinished concept, turned into a solid format that reached many of the goals that it was set into life to achieve.
Firstly, hundreds of thousands of kroners were channeled to fantastic, radical, revolutionary, inspiring projects. From groups working with asylum and migration, to queer collectives, climate camps, alternative education platforms, racialized activists, international solidarity projects and many more, we are proud to say that our dancefloor energy turned into actual kick-ass projects and real-life change.
Secondly, we like to think that we were part of bridging that gap, that back then we perceived as very deep, between the two "scenes" we felt we belonged to and loved: the activist, autonomous left and the raver scene. The first was presented with electronic music within the house, something that wasn't that common up until then, and with party formats that many might have not known. The second, the "ravers", set foot into Folkets Hus for the first time and got a glimpse of all the people and projects that have been part of the house in the past 50 years.
Lastly, we worked as a playground for heaps of talented, upcoming, local artists - admittedly ourselves among these. Many had their debut or played some of their first gigs at Folkets Haus, and many more, that often were left out of "normal" parties because of, for instance, their gender or sexual orientation, got their turn behind our booth. A huge thank you goes to all of you, who played at our parties during these years 🙌
When we were asked if we wanted to bring Folkets Haus to the café during Folkets Hus 50 years old birthday, we were confronted with the fact that we hadn't talked about Folkets Haus since before the first lockdown. It became clear that our energy had moved to our projects, and that we felt that Folkets Haus had kind of fulfilled its role. Yet, we wouldn't want to let the pandemic swallow us, so that we would disappear without a word. So here we are: going with a bang and a tjack and a bang and a tjack like the best house tune, and with a feeling of satisfaction within us.
We can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow - we know it will be special ❤
Plus, as Douglas Adams taught us, 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything else. So it seems pretty appropriate to stop here

Niju (https://soundcloud.com/niju-1) presents "bazar des émotions" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 224

Our No. 224 comes today from an artist who accompanies me for what feels like an eternity and since then always knows how to inspire with his new productions. You can definitely call him a connoisseur of downtempo, because he stands for me emblematic for the rise of the subgenre and has shaped the scene globally with his countless pieces - no still does.

We are talking about Niju who is always good for a surprise with his very special, organic but mega fascinating sound. No matter if alone or together with Ninze & Okaxy as Wide Awake (@wide-awake-8), he always provides with his playful and atmospheric way in his productions, remixes, edits and also sets for special experiences on the dancefloors, living rooms, bedrooms as well actually on all ears in the world. At least on all those who can appreciate downtempo. Definitely for me as a big downbeat fan. Then, now and tomorrow definitely too. I'm sure of it.

His set recorded for us is emblematic of his sound. To me, the whole tape basically feels like a typical Niju production, only in XXXXXXL format. At the beginning velvet soft and dreamy, yet discreet groovy and later from and then also danceable. And all garnished with a good portion of hypnotic elements like cranky voices and partly indefinable sound fragments. Great. Definitely a typical Niju, who joins our podcast series with his 2.5 hour journey like painted.

Buckle up... I can only repeat myself, but you can expect a journey made for an afterhour. Not a phrase, not fake news, but honest words from a music loving Spessarter.

Thank you so much Niko for this special set. Stunningly profound and refreshingly good. Chapeu.
___________________________

Unsere Nr. 224 kommt heute von einem Künstler welcher mich seit einer gefühlten Ewigkeit begleitet und seither immer wieder mit seinen neuen Produktionen zu begeistern versteht. Man kann ihn definitiv als Connaisseur des Downtempo’s bezeichnen, da er für mich sinnbildlich für den Aufstieg des Subgenre steht und mit seinen unzähligen Stücken die Szene global geprägt hat – nein immer noch tut.

Die Rede ist von Niju  der mit seinem ganz speziellen, organischen aber mega faszinierenden Sound immer wieder für eine Überraschung gut ist. Egal ob alleine oder zusammen mit Ninze & Okaxy als Wide Awake (https://soundcloud.com/wide-awake-8), so sorgt er stets mit seiner verspielten und stimmungsvollen Art in seinen Produktionen, Remixen, Edits und auch Sets für besondere Erlebnisse auf den Dancefloors, Wohnzimmern, Schlafzimmern….ja eigentlich auf allen Ohren der Welt. Zumindest auf all denjenigen, die dem Downtempo etwas abgewinnen können. Für mich als großen Downbeat Fan definitiv. Damals, heute und morgen auch. Da bin ich mir sicher. 

Sein für uns aufgenommenes Set steht sinnbildlich für seinen Sound. Mir kommt das ganze Tape im Grunde vor wie eine typische Niju Produktion, nur im XXXXXXL Format. Anfangs samt weich und verträumt, dennoch dezent groovig und später ab und dann auch tanzbar. Und alles garniert mit einer gehörigen Portion an hypnotischen Elementen wie verschrobenen Stimmen und teils undefinierbaren Klangfetzen. Klasse. Definitiv ein typischer Niju, der sich mit seiner 2,5 stündigen Reise wie gemalt in unsere Podcast Reihe einreiht. 

Schnallt euch an… Ich kann mich nur wiederholen, aber es erwartet euch eine Reise, die wie gemacht für eine Afterhour ist. Keine Phrase, keine Fake-News, sondern ehrliche Worte eines musikverliebten Spessarters.

Ich danke dir vielmals Niko für dieses besondere Set. Umwerfend tiefenergreifend und erfrischend gut. Chapeu.

Winter-Wind

Tagelang waren wir eingeschneit und förmlich von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten. Immer noch sind die Straßen mit Schnee bedeckt, flankiert von weißglänzenden 
Kristallbergen. Doch endlich hat die Sonne   ihren Weg zu uns gefunden. Der Winter-Wind hat gedreht und die Welt atmet auf. Nun kann die winterliche Landschaft voll und ganz ausgekostet werden. Schlitten werden ausgepackt und jung und alt braust enthusiastisch durch den Schnee. Während der Winter-Wind mit seinem eiskalten Atem in die geröteten Gesichter bläst. 

Apaj ist leidenschaftlicher Musikproduzent. Seine Schaffenskraft investiert er vorzüglich in die Produktion von Downtempo & Organic House. In der Vergangenheit prämierten wir bereits zwei seiner Werke auf unserem Channel. Nun hat Apaj auch einen Podcast für uns gestaltet und aufgenommen. An diesem Vizefreitag gibt es den optimalen Soundtrack zum Tauwetter und allgemeinen Aufbruchsstimmung. 
Wir sagen Dankeschön und wünschen beste Unterhaltung <3

chameleon #42 - Temple Tears

Mowo - Conditions
First single coming March 24
Full album then April 13 :) 
------------
The chameleon (lat. Talpa) was once the fastest animal living on our planet, way before the humans walked on earth. It was faster than any Jaguar hunting in the jungle, faster than any cheetah running in the savanna and even faster than the beat of the hummingbird’s wings. One day the chameleon was running through the jungle again not knowing the son of Mother Nature was visiting the jungle. With all its hectic and speed the chameleon ran over Mother Nature’s son and the whole jungle was shocked. Every animal was looking at the chameleon, which was clearly embarrassed over its action. It helped the son to get back up on its feet and swore him to never be stressed and hectic ever again. Since this day the chameleon is the slow and relaxed animal we know today. 

When we first heard of this story, we thought this still fits really well into todays society. Slow down a bit and enjoy the moment!
