Heute heißt es Studiomontag: @AVEMsdream gibt Einblick und Ausblick, allesamt unbekannt und unreleased, live und aus eigener Feder. Technische Finesse trifft audiophiles Storytelling, fragile Elemente auf eindrucksvollen Flächen, vielschichtig und nie einfältig. Die Götter:innen stecken im Detail, heute ganz besonders.

Zum Skifahren nach Garbicz Partenkirchen

Chris Schwarzwälder Garbicz 2021

⫷ 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝔻𝕠𝕝𝕡𝕙𝕚𝕟 ⫸ Are you aware that Orcas belong to the Dolphin Family? I don’t find it that obvious at first sight because of firstly, their size that is closer to a whale than a « regular » dolphin and secondly because of the name « Killer Whales » that is given to them. Not because they are whales but because they do eat whales sometimes, especially wild transient orcas. Orcas are at the top chain predators. Even great white sharks « fear » them.  Yet, they never attacked any human beings. They like to come close, watch us, play, and interact even sometimes but they have no interest in eating us. Why? What do they have to teach us? 

I sometimes wonder where this chemical attraction I have for Orcas comes from.
And it is now at its highest pick! I understood they are pushing me to dig deep into myself. To go see the darkest parts. And I understand those are the parts that give me my highest potential!

With my friend Julie, we did not swim with Orcas (yet) but we did swim with wild dolphins in the Red Sea of Egypt. This trip and this encounter were some of the deepest we got to experience, on various levels. We dived deep into the clear waters of the Red Sea and facing those wild dolphins was like facing ourselves in a mirror.

And what came out could only be beautiful, liberating, and joyful at the end!

At the occasion of their wedding festival, « La Farfaderie » Julie and her husband Omar, booked me to play… twice in two days! I felt super privileged!

For the first set, nighttime, I had around 2 hours to embark my audience into a special journey. I wanted it dark and crispy, deep and jumpy. So I decided to step out a little bit of my comfort zone that is downtempo and explore other genres like tech-house or melodic techno and even Italo Disco. Also because the Dj playing after me was going to play Italo Disco so I had to adapt to create a smooth transition between us too.

I was a bit tensed when I started playing but a few people came to me to tell me how great it. I was filled with so much support, before, during, and after the gig. It was incredible and those who were there have no idea how much courage it gave me and how it helped me gain in confidence! 🙏


Thank you guys so much for the amazing energy on the dancefloor 

Thank you Julie Dommanget & Omar Larguèche for the family booking, Ronan de Suin, Louis Bourguet and François Donazzan for setting up this amazing stage and my little Chaton François Donazzan, you again for the sound engineering ;-)

And to those who are discovering the journey just now, I hope the energy will sweat through it and give yourself a great time too! 

Welcome to the organic journey of « Dark Dolphin »!

OrKatz | Dark Dolphin. | La Farfaderie - Summer 2021

⫷ ℝ𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕓𝕠𝕨 ℙ𝕤𝕪𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕪 ⫸ Enter the world of an organic psychoactive journey.

༄ Back to my Roots

I’m listening to electronic music since I’m 15. At the time, I was living in Marrakech with my family and it’s where I heard of psytrance music for the first time.

In 2004, I arrived in the urban jungle of Paris. I discovered the Parisian clubbing scene and was spending my weekends at the « Redlight » and the mythic « Rex Club » most times, the « Mix », « Tryptique » or « l’Elysée Montmartre », sometime and after partying at the famous « Follow Me » or  « KitKat ». A great era in which I was discovering the music and night scene, exploring all the good parts of it but also falling down the rabbit hole sometimes. Part of the process… ;-)

4 years later, I decide to go to my first festival. I don’t choose the smallest one, to begin with. Taking my backpack, not even a tent, alone, with a few people I never met, I drive to Portugal and end up at Boom Festival. I let you imagine what the Boom can do to a person that has never been to a festival before! A huge psychedelic journey that blew my mind, opened part of my consciousness, and changed my life forever…

This is a turning point for me and I let down the clubs to rather more decorated parties. People dress up more, it’s also more fun and more spiritual as well. 
Psytrance becomes my world. Psytrance is a generic name like you would say Techno. There are many genres inside and my favorite were: Dark Forest & Dark Psy (140 > 180bpm), High Tech  (180 > 200bpm) but also Dark Prog and Psygressive which are the downtempo versions of psytrance. I kinda know all the genres very well, just ask me :D

The deep, psychedelic, organic strong vibrations of the bass trigger me. It’s visceral. I could dance for hours and hours. I went to many festivals for 5 years until another personal turning point occurred and guided me towards another musical path. I could tell you the story in another post if you want to hear it.

Recently, I listened to « Forest » again and I was happily surprised to see how it triggered me again, how my body reacted. I loved the sensations felt.
I decided that I should do a forest set one day.

༄ Creative & Emotional Process

Two weeks ago, my close friends and I organized a small event called Jambon Burn. I wanted to play one Downtempo set and one Psytech set.
Instead, I designed one and single journey « Rainbow Psyracy ».

Psytech is a form of Psychedelic Techno that is taking the world by storm! It's a hybrid genre that sits between Forest and Techno.
In this pharmacopeia of sounds, I explored the depths of these realms and created this set that starts with dark dirty downtempo sounds. Followed by those psychedelic, crispy, organic sounds. Stepping out of the depth to come back to the surface with jumpy sounds.

The reaction on the dance floor was crazy! Really, guys, a huge thank you for making this moment so unique and magical. I felt like a fish in the water, in my trueness with sensations I had never felt before. High, Raw & Alive.  Happy as f*** ! 

Bold piracy surprises us all.

༄ Rainbow

Even though this musical journey is rather dark, it brought a lot of Joy, to me and to the dancers.
We turned Sensual Darkness into Colorful Rainbow. Our root chakras liberating themselves from any blockages, freeing the path for the energy to circulate into our entire bodies and minds.
Turns out that the theme of the scenography we designed with my dear friend Sonia Apsara & Adrien Utchanah was « Rainbow ».
Were we inspired? ;-) I like to think we were…

Many many thanks in advance for all the listens, likes, comments, and re-shares.
I wish you to feel sensual & crispy sensations throughout this journey.
Much Love.

NB: Sorry for the long story, it’s a tough task for me to make things short :D

⫷ 𝙼𝚊̊𝚗𝚊 𝙷𝚘̃𝚊𝚕𝚊 𝙰𝚗𝚊̊. ⫸ 
This is the story of a woman.
Walking through the realms of Life.
A bit shy, a bit scared.
Some of her wounds are still open…
Nature heals her.
But some scars take longer.

One day though, a path opened, 
Like a portal towards another dimension.
Taking the shape of a bridge for her to cross.

A little voice inside her calls her.
She is afraid of the Unknown.
But her own nature is stronger.
And she decides to listen better.

From that moment, her life force energy awakens.
A rainbow snake rises, runs through her veins, invades her whole body with fluids of wisdom, sparkles of joy, nourishing love. 

From that moment, she knows.
She is a magnetic enchantress.
She is fierce and authentic.
She is juicy and vibrant.
She is caring and loving.
She is intuitive.
She is a warrior.
She is LOVE.

This woman is you. 
And me.

Måna Hõala Anå means “Life Force Awakening” in Hawaïen, a language I affection a lot and that resonates in my whole body. May you find this force within you and make it your best friend.

Hedoné’s workshops program inspired me a lot to design my set. I wanted it dirty, sensual, and dreamy. Hope you enjoy it and that this journey awakens your playful self! 

My endless gratitude to Hedoné’s community for inviting me to play in what turned out to be a most powerful transformative experience for me. Thank you to all the ones who stayed up all night and did not go to bed to attend my gig on Sunday 10 am, sharing the dancefloor with early risers. The energy was beautiful! 

Thank you Anya Ananda for inspiring me with some of these words of poetry.

The naked duck edition? exactly your cup of tea!
Here is what you need:
Take off your clothes, smile at your friends and strangers because every booty in that room is beautiful. Smell the fresh flowers everywhere, dance naked in the candlelight with nothing but a cup of tea in your hands.

☕️Big thanks to 'TheNakedTeaParty' @thenakedteaparty for creating such a unique experience and opening up a safe space for everyone while serving the best tea and keeping the bonfire alive for hours.

💓Special thanks to Danielle for her visions of freedom and outstanding dedication for body positivity and empowerment.

🦆last but not least: thank you Sisyphos - being back behind your gates has never felt so good.

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.

We are very excited to present our next LOKDcast, this time from our very talented friend Frida Darko.

Being part of the club scene since her very early days (literally), she has worked her way into the heart of the downtempo scene with her unique drive and relentless energy. Her stories are full of unconventional beats, as well as her unique signature darko-grooves.

Frida Darko has won the hearts of her fan-base due to her authentic personality and her honesty at the time of playing and producing music. We couldn't be happier about releasing one of her fantastic stories in our label. 

Thanks Pauli, and welcome to the LOKD-family.

Hey angels,

The team has returned from beautiful Goa. What should have been a day where the Babylon family should reunite in Amsterdam, is now a quiet day. What else can we do than to touch memories of a beautiful time together.

Find yourself in the mind of the master Joep Mencke. We have seen this young man grow the past years in such an incredible performer. Always a super talent in his production and a stage performer at heart.

His set with Amsterdam Dance Event this year was truly remarkable.

With love,

The Gardens of Babylon

The Seekers of Light Babylon at ADE 2021 - Joep Mencke

Goodmorning from Goa angels,

Wake up slowly to another banger of a set by our Geju. Ever since the Russian duo set foot inside our Gardens we have been completely addicted to their sound. The longer they play the more interesting it becomes and like always we gave them a three hour set during our Amsterdam Dance Event together.

Enjoy and tell us what you think. Even though we pick up on the deep and dark sound of the two, it also picks up the pace. Unlike Geju? Or did we enter a new period of time for these supertalent.

Be as it may, we are obsessed once again.

Love,

The Gardens of Babylon

Oh la la.. Let's get excited...

One of the many musical surprises of ADE was thew new Babylon favourite Temple Tears. This young man has a glorious future ahead of him we are sure of it.

Let him take you on a trip around the moon and let us know what you think. 

All the love,

Ein neues Jahr beginnt, schon wieder von vorn, und Déjà-vu und je ne comprends pas reichen sich die Hand und winken den verwirrten Kreisläufern. Auch schon so, doch gerade jetzt, um so schöner und famöser, dass @WIDE-AWAKE-8 mal ganz weit wach zusammen am Flügel saßen: Neue Musik aus eigener Feder, ganz bezaubernd und ganz weit vorne, vertraut aber unbekannt.

»Mit Uns« dazu am Klavier durch den Himmel aus Kerosin. So könnte jedes Jahr beginnen.

Die Türen öffnen sich, leicht säurig. Herein, heraus, in die Cenote. Leicht benetzt ein jeder und ein überhaupt, ganz sanft so über allem. Mitten im Urwald, ganz weit, ganz wach, ganz nahbar und ganz fern, haben @WIDE-AWAKE-8 gespielt und mitgebracht was wir hier hören. Ganz live halt und ganz schön, auch ohne Blätterdach.
