Òlta Karawane returns to Berlin’s concrete womb Sameheads on the 22nd of March with another episode of their party series and invite you for this circuit-bent hallucination. This live recording from last Summer might just grease your poles......

"ZMAR’s Fever-Dream Rewind"
Let’s autopsy last summer’s carnage—this live mix crawled outta the main stage’s dust-choked lungs, still twitching. 

As usual will hemorrhage primal circuitry—a sonic séance with junk-shop prophets & feedback banshees on the guest roster. Bring earplugs & a taste for neon-smeared sweat.

Òlta Karawane - ZMAR’s Fever-Dream Rewind

This mix for Memory Screen was recorded at the legendary 'Hot On The Heels' night at the California Clipper. Shortly after Halloween 2024, the enigmatic Dunkeltier (German for dark beast) played the monthly, mid-week night started nearly 20 years ago and hosted by Beau Wanzer. In his winding 2.5 hour set, Dunkeltier brought the hyper-local Neue Deutsche Welle (the commercial tag) and Kassettentäter (DIY tape scene) sounds to Chicago, exposing party goers to what he considers “THE LATER MUSICAL PENDANT TO THE 20s GERMAN DADA ART MOVEMENT.”

For those curious about the cultural background of the scenes behind the mix, here is an
interview with Dunkeltier for Discus Throwers (Wiener Brut):

»All the hope, the inner struggle, the repose, the sorrow - all of it is contained in the capricious disposition of the sky. It speaks to us in abstract terms each of us decipher in a personal way. This last year, more than any other, has been one of longing for better times, of staring out of the window, finding solace in the slow movement of the clouds.

Apart from a sonic storyteller of extraordinary sensitivity, André Pahl is a usual visitor of the firmament. He took yet another stroll in the wild blue and now tells us all about it in a wide kaleidoscope of human emotions.
	
This mix is a compelling testimony of those states we share with the skies: the longing melancholy of a sunrise, the embracing warmth of the twilight, the peaceful serenity of the rain, the indecipherable gloom of the fog. Lay back, look up and dive in, but be aware: feelings may arise.«
