💿 Frohe Weihnachten 💿

💭 Advent, Advent, die Kerzen brennen,
für die meisten heißt es: schnell zum Laden rennen, für die Liebsten etwas Schönes finden
und es nach dem Kauf noch flink binden.
Weihnachten, das ist Familienzeit und intensiv, alle Hildesheimer es zum 25: in die Kufa zum Woodlands Tanz zieht. So werden letztendlich alle Sinne vollends befriedigt, es bleibt familiär und m doch ein wenig beliebig.

🎵 Dieser Weihnachtspodcast entspringt der kreativen Handschrift Isabeau Forts. Besinnlich, harmonisch und einfach rundum schön, pulsieren die Klänge und Töne der Musik. Hell und klar wie eine sternenklare Nacht, rein wie der erste Schnee zu Weihnachten, malen die Werke bunte Bilder in der Fantasie. Voller Lebensfreude und Lebendigkeit wabern die Frequenzen wie warme Strahlen eines Feuers und benetzen die gespannten Lauscher mit Frohsinn.

Dankeschön und beste Unterhaltung 💙

KataHaifisch Podcast 407 - Isabeau Fort

🎵 OrKatz [ at ] Fox&Badge - Studio 338 [ LIve-Special ] 🎵

Not so long ago, we were already in the mother city of breakbeat. Namely in the legendary and enchanting British city of London. But it has so much more to offer. Fancy a round of minimal, techno and house in after-hours garb? Then you've come to the right place today. The enchanting DJ OrKatz has brought us a very fine recording of the Fox&Badge event from Studio 338. Alltime favs included. I only say Nathan Fake....

If afterhour, then here.

As always, here's our interview:

~~INTERVIEW~~

✔️ What are your musical Influences?
My influences draw from a rich and diverse palette. I was originally shaped by the vibrant clubbing scene in Paris between 2004 and 2008, where techno, minimal, electro, house, and tech house defined my early experiences. Artists like Richie Hawtin, Stephan Bodzin, and Legowelt were some of my biggest inspirations during this formative time.
Today, I craft down-pitched journeys that weave together downtempo, darktempo, psy techno, minimal, house, and techno.

In my pharmacopeia of sounds, you’ll also find echoes of jazz and hip-hop influences, enriching the emotional depth and texture of my sets.

✔️ What makes a good Afterhour?
A good afterhour is a moment suspended in time, a transition between the intensity of the night and the stillness of the morning. It’s about creating a space where people can let go, connect deeply with the music, and feel truly present.

✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?
This musical journey is dedicated to a special humpback whale named Sweet Girl. Recently, she offered an extraordinary encounter to Rachel Moore, who captured an incredible photograph of her eye, an image that touched thousands of hearts worldwide. Tragically, just a week later, Sweet Girl was fatally struck by a ferry. Her story inspired me to create this set as a tribute to her and all whales who’ve suffered similar fates. Through this music, I hope to share a powerful message of love and advocacy for whale protection.

✔️ Thoughts about the Set and Club:I loved every beat of my set which was a complete healing journey to me! After 4 pretty challenging weeks, I was so happy to be back in my element, sharing tunes I love and expressing myself, taking everyone, myself included, into a personal journey. Playing a 120 BPM felt also like a nice cruise tempo. The energy on the dance floor was everything! Everyone on the dancefloor was so engaged and expressive! This gave me a sense of deep connection with everybody, which is one of my favorite feelings in the world! I was very thankful for people’s energy and for showing me I’m exactly where I belong when I'm behind the decks playing music. During my set, I included some tracks that left a big impact on me such as Emerge by Fischerspooner or The Sky Was Pink (Holden Remix) by Nathan Fake. Dropping them felt like completing a circle, by giving back what those tracks gave me: this blissful feeling of oneness, infinite gratitude, of falling in love with life.

Some schools of psychotherapy focus on becoming aware of emotions and naming them in order to understand our inner landscape, to be ultimately able to experience them more consciously and to help regulating them in healthy ways. If you want to practice this skill, Nɨxe’s set is a rich playground opportunities; full of wondrous sights and twists and turns. Through depth and highs, sometimes bold and in your face and sometimes tickling you from behind, it is a journey through different strata, contexts and epochs of slow, electronic dance music. However, while exploring the landscape, it never fails to keep an eye on the dance floor to get you heart jumping, your face smiling and your hips gyrating. If you want the full experience, set aside, what you’ve been doing, listen, turn up the volume a little and drop into yourself to feel those feelings. And don’t worry: nobody said you shouldn’t dance while doing so.

"Dear Baikal Nomads,
I am glad to finally deliver your podcast 🙂 Thank you for your patience !
I’m really happy with the result, it is a very special podcast for me, probably because while making it I ended up finding a lot of what I call  super match, those rare and magical combinations of tracks that fit perfectly together from the beginning to the end, and also because I had to dig in many different places to find the right ones, originals, tracks I edited, tracks I encoded from my vinyl collection, a Soulwax track from a cassette, old stuff and new promos…  all this mix that create those special vibes and already makes of this podcast one of my favourites.
I hope you like it and that the listeners will too 🙂
Much love from the Brazilian’s forest

Wenn du einen Stein ins Wasser wirfst, so eilt er auf dem schnellsten Wege zum Grunde des Wassers. So ist es, wenn Siddartha ein Ziel, einen Vorsatz hat. Siddartha tut nichts, er wartet, er denkt, er fastet, aber er geht durch die Dinge der Welt hindurch wie der Stein durchs Wasser, ohne etwas zu tun, ohne sich zu rühren; er wird gezogen, er lässt sich fallen. Sein Ziel zieht ihn an sich, denn er lässt nichts in seine Seele ein, was dem Ziel widerstreben könnte. Das ist es, was Siddartha bei den Samanas gelernt hat. Es ist das, was die Toren Zauber nennen und wovon sie meinen, es werde durch die Dämonen bewirkt. Nichts wird von Dämonen bewirkt; es gibt keine Dämonen. Jeder kann zaubern, jeder kann seine Ziele erreichen, wenn er denken kann, wenn er warten kann, wenn er fasten kann. - Siddhartha von Hermann Hesse

✍️ „Siddhartha" von Hermann Hesse

I am very glad to share with you the recording of my set last Sunday at Beate Barfuß. 

This set is brings you to the twists and turns of slower music, navigating between 108 and 122 bpm, with some of my favourite releases of the past months but also some timeless classics. 
 
No banger on the carpets, only softer and comfortable music.

This place, and particularly their Sunday events have been a big inspiration for me since I moved to Berlin almost 10 years ago, and an important place for the slower scene in Berlin.  
A unique place and crowd of true music lovers. 

Thank you so much everyone who joined <3 
It was the perfect way to start 2025 with you. 

 




**Recorded on Jan 19 in Beate Uwe - Berlin

Recorder turned off for the last 30 minutes :/

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Lo Nóbrega (@lonobrega)

From the streets of Rostock to the heart of Germany’s underground festival scene, Lo Nóbrega has carved a unique path through music. His journey began in his teenage years, spinning Hip-Hop vinyl and co-hosting a radio show on Lohro, the city’s local station. These early experiences shaped his deep connection to rhythm and storytelling, laying the foundation for his signature sound.

Lo Nóbrega's sonic exploration eventually led him to the iconic Saga Floor of the Bucht der Träumer Festival*, where his sets became an integral part of its legacy. His ability to blend energetic, organic beats with a rich tapestry of influences creates immersive soundscapes that evoke profound emotional responses.

With a deep respect for historical rhythms and an innate talent for fusing diverse musical traditions, Lo Nóbrega crafts introspective journeys—each set an unpredictable yet seamless evolution of sound. His performances are both wild and poetic, a visceral experience that demands presence and engagement.

Now, as he steps into the spirit of the Chinese Year of the Snake, his latest DJ set reflects the serpent’s graceful fluidity, adaptability, and quiet yet transformative power. With organic transitions and hypnotic grooves, Lo Nóbrega invites listeners on a rhythmic odyssey—one that lingers long after the music fades.

Let the journey begin.
