top selection, awesome mix, really enjoyed it ;)

Ha! Always so happy when I spot this track in a mix :)

On this gloriously sunny day in July, the wizard was standing on a high mountain in the Black Forest, a vantage point with a spectacular view over the Rhine valley and the Vosges mountain range, which dominated the Western horizon.  He was on his way to his fiancée, the little witch who is living in her forest in Flanders, and the Vosges is the last mountain ridge which separates him from his girlfriend.  It’s still 300 miles to go, but for a giant (2m40) wizard that’s no big deal, especially after returning from a 9 month trip to his ancestral village in the African Rainforest.  
The wizard was in a frisky mood and descended to the river Rhine, while whistling some age-old African songs between his teeth.  That day it was really hot in the Rhine valley, reminding him of the scorching heat of the African Savanna.  When the overheating wizard finally reached the river Rhine, he didn’t hesitate for one second, slipped out of his clothes and waded into the refreshing water.  He quickly found out that the current of the mighty river was pretty strong, but he didn’t worry and let the water sweep him away, floating gently in northern direction, shortening his trip by a few miles in the process.  Finally, a couple of hours later he reached the other side of the river, where two herons were waiting for him with his clothes.  After that, he decided to rest in the shadow of huge oak tree and spent the night in the company of a flock of friendly sheep.
The next morning, the wizard got up very early, gave a goodbye hug to all the sheep and set off for a new day of hiking.  It was a pleasant walk in this remote area, only crossing the path of one Swiss guy who was hiking the 63 miles from Basel to Colmar.  Soon the giant left the Rhine valley behind him, and the endless wheat fields made way for a lush green forest, while the road got steeper and narrower.  A few hours later he was already halfway up the slopes of the Vosges mountains, and he was happy to find out it was not as hot as in the Rhine Valley.  Luckily, it was the blueberry season, so the wizard ate quite a lot of these delicious berries, which gave him fresh energy.  When the sun was going down, he followed a little stream and entered a particularly beautiful section of the forest.  He started to look for a place for the night, when the path led to small clearing where a young witch with red hair and mesmerizing green eyes was waiting for him, with an owl sitting on her arm.  The witch smiled at him and told that they all had been waiting for him.  She added ‘Welcome to the annual parliament of owls … you are the special guest this year’.
The wizard looked around and in every tree he saw dozens of owls from all kinds of species :  burrowing owls, tawny owls, great horned owls, barn owls … and even a couple of snowy owls who had flown all the way from Archangelsk.  He had never seen such an impressive gathering of birds.  After a few minutes the red-haired witch stretched out her arm and immediately a Eurasian eagle-owl landed on her arm.  The eagle-owl was the oldest member of the parliament, so he was unanimously appointed as the speaker.  Now the session could begin…

Hekske (https://soundcloud.com/the-house-witchtapes) presents „I have a Mriya“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 242

Unsere Nr. 242 kommt heute von einer besonderen belgischen Künstlerin und Kuratorin, die für ihren ausgesprochen, guten Musikgeschmack und der Liebe zum Detail bekannt ist.  
Die Rede ist von Hekske, welche der internationalen Downtempo und House Szene ein Begriff ist. Mit ihrer Reihe Hekske ❋ The Magic Witchtapes (https://soundcloud.com/hekske) erreichte sie in einem wahnsinng schnellen Tempo eine unglaublich treue Hörerschaft. Egal ob Künstler oder Tänzer. Jeder war sofort von dieser besonderen, nämlich storytellenden Reihe angetan. Die Texte sind exakt auf den Künstler und deren Musik abgestimmt, verknüpfen dabei immer wieder geschickt die Episoden miteinander. Man merkte von Anfang an, dass ihr an dem Podcastprojekt sehr viel liegt. Und dies bestätigt sie nun schon seit fast 5 Jahren mit anhaltend hoher Qualität. 

Nach drei Jahren des Kuratierens entschied sie sich dann selber hinter ihrem Projekt hervorzutreten, um ihre eigenen Geschichten musikalisch zu erzählen. So auch in unserer neusten Ausgabe…aber dazu später mehr. 

Ihr aufgenommenes Set wartet mit einer gewissen Melancholie und gehörigen Portion an Deepness auf. Nach ihrem gewohnt samtweichen Intro, macht sie recht schnell klar wohin die Reise geht. Nämlich auf den Dancefloor. Die Klänge sind drückend, hypnotisch und mit einer Menge an groovigem Bass angereichert, wie zum Beispiel der fabelhafte Track https://soundcloud.com/katahaifisch/premiere-atric-frida-darko-low-battery-temple-tears-remix. Hin und wieder blinzelt aber auch die Sonne in Form von organischen Elementen, wie Bongotrommeln, durch. Angereichert wird das Ganze fortan mit sphärischen Passagen, die nun auch zum Träumen und Verweilen in dem Gemütszustand vollkommener, innerer Ruhe einladen. Eine spannende Mischung. Diesem beschriebenen Stil bleibt sie fortan bis zum Ende treu und schafft mit ihren zwei letzten Tracks den berühmt, berüchtigten Bogen zu ihrem Intro Track zu schließen. Inklusive einer Live-Aufnahme vom letzten Flug der Mriya. 

Zurück bleibt ein kaum beschreibbares Gefühl von positiver Trauer. Positiv, weil sie mit ihrer Musikauswahl zugleich eine Aufbruchstimmung transportiert, das Schlimme vergessen machen zu wollen. Schließlich sollte jeder von uns eine Mriya im Herzen haben…
Die Zerstörung der letzten Mriya (An-225 Mriya) während des russischen Angriffskrieges vom 24.bis zum 25.02.2022 im Kampf um den Antonov Flughafen, steht so die Vermutung, symbolisch für die Tragödie des Krieges und dem Verlust, den so viele Menschen erlitten haben… Aber auch für den Glauben daran, das Positive und die Zuversicht nicht zu verlieren. Etwas was in der heutigen Zeit, mehr denn je von besonderer Wichtigkeit ist.

Wir danken dir vielmals Hekske für dieses besondere Set. Umwerfend, tiefenergreifend und erfrischend gut. Bitte bleibe deiner Linie treu. Chapeu.

1. Wie kommt dein Künstlername zustande ?
Ich wurde in einer Zeit auf der Arbeit immer mit einem Tony Williams verwechselt. Ich selbst heisse ja Thomas Williams. Als ich dann fälschlicherweise zum hundersten mal ein Mail oder einen Anruf erhielt der für Tony bestimmt war, nannten mich alle Arbeitskollegen plötzlich Tony. Dies war die Zeit, denke so 2009 als ich mein SC Profil anlegte. Darum wurde dies auch mein SC Name. Damals dachte ich aber nie, dass ich mal unter diesen Namen auflegen werde.
2. Seit wann legst du auf ? 1985
3. Lieblingsclub ? Ich liebe kleine, unprätentiöse Clubs. Grosse angeberische Clubs oder Clubbetreiber können mir gestohlen bleiben. I really mean it.
4. Lieblingszeit bei Auflegen ? 2400 bis 0200
5. Lieblingsfarbe ? Blau
6. Lieblingsessen ? Rösti im Restaurant Eichhörnli, Zürich
7. Lieblingsplaneten ? Erde

Trip 138 ~ El Batos ~ from there to here

Creating a track list is always an adventure, it’s a journey with low visibility on where the selection process would end up. When I started to prepare for FM4 Liquid Radio, I just decided to focus on leftfield downtempo music – pure electronic tracks with rough edges and raw power. 
The outcome was amazing: The NERD mix is a journey through a dark and wintry landscape with some minor mood swings – probably the right feeling for a January hangover. Thanks to all the wonderful creators who made these mixes possible.

Finepod #028 By Thias Raun

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one on a Sunday and the world stands still. 

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The beautiful set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one. 

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes. 

Julia aka @ismetra from our friends at @otawa-rec contacted us a while ago with the idea of making a sensual podcast and hence it was only logical to have her kick off the series, which will from now on be released every two weeks on Sunday morning. 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and get ready to let the love birds fly ❤️
