Step into the immersive soundscape of maaje’s latest mix for BeYond – a sonic journey that invites you to move beyond the surface and into something deeper. Blending atmospheric textures with smooth, thoughtful transitions, Maaje crafts an experience that feels both expansive and deeply personal.

Each layer of sound unfolds with intention, drawing you into a space where time slows down and the mind begins to wander. It’s not just about listening – it’s about feeling, drifting, and exploring your own emotional landscape through sound.

This mix is perfect for late-night reflection, creative flow, or moments when you simply want to escape the noise of the everyday. With every beat, maaje offers a subtle invitation: to let go, tune in, and travel inward.

Enjoy.

BeYond with maaje | 35

On an exceptionally sunny day in May, a man took his faithful dog for a walk in the countryside. Unlike other days, the dog was pulling his owner towards the nearby forest, which they had never visited before. 
After entering the woods, the man got overwhelmed by the serene and peaceful atmosphere. It even felt otherworldly. As they ventured deeper and deeper into the woods, they came across a bunch of animals which you would normally never see together : deer, foxes, rabbits, badgers... 
Strangely, all these animals were flocking together without the slightest sign of animosity and they all slowly walked into the same direction. The atmosphere was so peaceful that it even felt like a procession. 
Without hesitation the man and the dog joined the procession. The deeper they stepped into the forest, the more animals joined the procession and the more serene the atmosphere became.
Then the procession suddenly ground to a halt, on a little mound near the edge of a clearing. The man saw a pond in the glade, surrounded by wild spring flowers. This place felt like heaven on earth. 
Then something unusual happened. Two young women in long white dresses slowly strolled through the flower field. They stopped at the edge of the pond. One women was around 20 years of age and had long brown hair, while the other one was a 10-year old girl with shining blond hair.
The man got a bit ashamed and looked away. He is absolutely not a voyeur. Then an owl flew to a branch next to the man, and spoke with a soft voice : ‘it’s okay to look at this spectacle. They are two witches, Hekske and her apprentice Falke. They are going to perform a spring ceremony’.
Then a third woman entered the glad. She looked really old and had long grey hair and walked with a limp. The owl whispered ‘This is Quintine, she is 439 years old and she recently woke up from a 414 year long hibernation to escape from the persecutions of the 17th century.’  Meanwhile 2 other girls welcomed Quintine with a long hug.
A little later, the youngest witch lit up a fire with a floating spark which she launched with a gentle hand movement. They put a small cauldron on the fire and prepared some kind of brew, which – after cooling down – they all shared. This all happened in such an unhurried way that it made the man lose his sense of time.
After finishing their drink, the 3 witches went to the edge of the pool, where they shucked off their long white dresses. The man quickly looked away, but the owl reassured him and told him to keep on watching, as a very important part of the ceremony was about to happen.
The 2 young witches helped the elderly witch while they slowly waded deeper into the water. When the women were deep enough, they started to swim. Or rather : float on the water. This made some ripples on the mirror-like water surface. These ripples had a soothing and hypnotic effect on the man, his dog and all the animals around them. Even the birds had stopped singing, and the forest became completely quiet. There was even no wind. It was as if the earth had stopped turning.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the witches decided to get out of the water. With slow movements, they waded out of the pond. The animals who were watching from the mound got very excited at that moment. At first it wasn’t clear why, but after a while it dawned to the man that the elderly witch was able to walk independently. Even more astonishing, her grey hair had turned red. She barely looked 25 now. All the animals first looked in awe, until they all erupted in cheers : the badgers growled, the foxes screamed, the owls hooted and all the birds sang their most beautiful song. Also the dog barked from pure joy.
And this was only the start of a long celebration which would last until deep in the night.

PREORDER ALBUM
https://afarlive.bandcamp.com/album/changing-rules

Psychedelic Krautwave wrapped in analog warmth, raw guitar bursts, and machine-driven pulse, carried by a mesmerizing voice. Songs that stretch time, reject convenience, and crave the real. A romantic revolt against the daily noises that numb and distract – slow, honest, and widely aware. For those who still long to long and refuse to get comfortable. Changing Rules is the third studio album by Berlin-based duo AFAR – a sonic manifesto of presence, eruption, and resistance.

ALBUM PREORDER

AFAR - Body On Body (LULLP009)

What a gift.

Wamanzi takes us on a journey that lingers long after the last note – a set that doesn’t just play, but gently moves something within.
The opening is delicate, almost poetic: soft, emotional, filled with longing. Like an open window into the soul.

With a graceful, flowing build, the set unfolds into warm piano chords, harmonious transitions, and a thoughtful blend of sound. Ethno-inspired elements, colourful melodies and layered vocals come together in a radiant, uplifting tapestry.

At times tender, at times playful, always fluid – this mix uplifts, brings joy, and lets the heart dance.

Melodic, beautifully mixed, and full of vibrant emotion. A lovingly crafted journey – thank you, Wamanzi.

Akasatki from China takes us on a deep, trippy journey – starting with soulful saxophone, moving through earthy percussion and shimmering melodies.

Rooted in downtempo and rich with ethno textures, the set flows like candlelight through desert winds – feminine, emotional, and full of vibrant colour.

In its final moments, a clear voice rises – carrying a message like a mantra: this is more than music. It’s a calling.

Warm, grounded, and soulfully psychedelic.
