DJ sets

For number 14 in the Junction 2 mix series, we welcome DJ, producer, and Ruta5 label boss Sonja Moonear.
 
One of the underground scene’s most prolific globetrotters, @moonear has been at the forefront of the minimal rising wave since the early 00s. Touted for her distinctive taste in the stripped-back house and intimate techno, the Genevan stalwart became an instant festival favorite after her B2B outings with Nicolas Lutz in 2018 and 2019. Set to continue the mischief on the Albanian Riviera, Sonja will join us for the first edition of ION Festival this September.

Monolink 

Singer-Songwriter and Electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture - which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he's both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.

Enjoy

(Story continued from Witchtape #45)
The little witch was already flying for countless hours over an endless desert, steadily following her inner compass into South/South-Eastern direction.  She was starting to feel tired from all that flying.  Her head grew heavy and her sight grew dim.  She had to stop for the night.  Luckily, she was nearing the other side of the desert as she spotted a few shrubs in the distance.  After a while, she saw some patches of grass and a few beautiful giant trees as she flew over the African savanna.  On her right side there was a breathtaking sunset unfolding… it was high time to land and find a safe place to spend the night.  The witch saw no humans which meant the place was safe.  She landed at the foot of a majestic tree, but didn’t have much time to savor the glorious sunset, as a few hungry lions were stealthily approaching her, observing the witch from close quarter, preparing for a decisive lethal strike.  But while looking at the witch, a feeling of tenderness took hold of the lionesses.  Instead of attacking, they walked slowly into the direction of the girl, who started to talk with a soft voice to the queens of the savanna.  This drew the attention of even more lions and soon they were all lying at the feet of the witch, while she played and frolicked with a bunch of lion cubs - who especially loved to play with the girl’s long hair (the hair of a young witch is of an indescribable softness).  The leader of the pride welcomed the young witch and ordered the other animals to prepare a soft bed of grass for the exhausted girl.  And soon the little witch drifted into a blissful sleep in the middle of a circle of lions, whom had never ever experienced a similarly peaceful presence in the savanna… (to be continued in Witchtape #52)

(Story continued from Witchtape #51)
After a deep, blissful sleep, the little witch woke up just before sunrise.  She quickly realized the little fluffy thing she was holding tenderly in her arms, was actually a lion cub and when looking around, she saw a lioness watching the two of them with endearment … clearly the cub’s mom.  Slowly it dawned to the girl that she had been sleeping in the middle of a circle of lions … easily the best possible protection in the savanna.  Despite being far away from her home forest in North-Western Europe, the little witch felt absolutely at ease.
Soon time had come to say goodbye to the friendly pride of lions and continue to fly into South/South-Eastern direction.  The girl flew over a wide variation of breathtaking landscapes, while the savanna gave way to forests and lakes and marshlands.  At one point, she saw several columns of black smoke rising up from the edge of a forest.  When she came closer, she realized the fires had been lit by humans in a deliberate effort to destroy the forest.  The little witch burst into tears at the sight of this senseless destruction.  Yet she followed her inner compass and continued to fly southwards, over a vast lush green forest.  The European girl had never seen such an immense forest, which was way bigger than all the forests of her homeland combined.  It was lush and green and full of majestic trees.  After flying over this rainforest for nearly one hour, the witch felt how her heart started to throb faster as her inner compass indicated that she was nearing her destination…

Witchtape #71 | Guest Wizz : HΛKÏM

(Story continued from Witchtape #70)
After taking off from the slopes of Mount Hermon, the little witch flew in southern direction for a long, long time, guided by an Arab teenage witch who knew exactly where they were heading for.  The vegetation underneath them gradually became sparser until finally they were flying over an endless desert, while the scorching heat became almost unbearable.  She was relieved when they reached a majestic mountain range where temperatures were bearable and the desert made place for some patches of vegetation here and there.  A little later they dived into a narrow canyon which looked like a garden of Eden, and gently touched down in the middle of lush green surroundings at the foot of a cascade of waterfalls.  The witch could never have imagined that there were such beautiful green spots on the Arabian peninsula.  But she didn’t have much time to savor the splendid nature as she was soon surrounded by 7 ebullient little girls in long white dresses, who were dancing and yelling from joy after seeing the European witch.  All the girls had long and shiny black hair, and sparkling black eyes.
The teenage Arab witch explained that these little girls were all the witch-apprentices and that she – at age 14 – was the oldest witch on the peninsula.  This came as a surprise for their visitor, as witches tend to be much older in Europe, sometimes 500 years or more.  She quickly realized that Arabia is the land of the future, with a  vibrant, talented and very young population.  All the girls knew they wanted to become witches, but there was nobody to teach them as there were no elder witches on the peninsula.  
So the little witch spent many hours with the girls, teaching them about the non-violent nature of witches and the strict prohibition of black magic, and most of all, the unconditional love and dedication to mother nature and planet earth.  And she taught the girls their very first secret spell.  When sunset was nearing, they all took a bath in a beautiful natural pond with crystal clear water which had been carved out in the bedrock by a little stream.  All the girls were happy they could finally cool down from the sweltering heat.  And after that cleansing bath, all the girls got dressed in long black clothes and head scarf.  Now they were ready for their very first mission, while looking down to a dusty town in the distance.  Until a few decades ago, it was still a pleasant green oasis but now all the trees had been cut down to make place for buildings, turning the town into a hot, polluted and unpleasant place.
But all that was to change in a few hours’ time.  All the little witches were holding a pouch with a precious load of palm tree seeds.  When everybody was asleep, the girls sneaked into town, gently planting the seeds at the most suitable places before uttering the magic spell they had learned earlier that day.  
The next morning, the city dwellers couldn’t believe their eyes.  The whole town was full with beautiful palm trees, giving shadow to the people and purifying the polluted air.  The children ran on the streets and played and danced under the trees.  From the first day onwards, it was clear that a cool microclimate had settled over the area and everybody realized that the dusty town had turned into a pleasant green oasis once again.  And all the inhabitants swore that they would protect the trees and even plant many more trees in a circle around the town, making this place a green paradise in the middle of the Arabian desert…

(School trip continued from Witchtapes #46, 47 and 63)

Our bus was slowly crawling on the bumpy highway from Dresden to Berlin (which had been constructed in the Nazi-era and hadn’t seen much repairs since then).  The slow speed was due to a suspension failure which couldn’t be repaired in communist East-Germany so we just hobbled towards Berlin, with even the primitive Trabant cars overtaking us.  But the Belgian school girls on the bus didn’t mind the slow speed and we were all in an excellent mood after a very pleasant 2 day stay in Dresden.  The shockingly awkward crossing of the Wartha-Herleshausen border checkpoint and the eerie misty night in the ghost town Erfurt 3 days ago were already long forgotten and we were all looking forward to our stay in Berlin, or rather East-Berlin as the town was still divided into a (capitalist, democratic) Western half and a (communist, totalitarian) Eastern half, with both sides hermetically separated by the infamous Berlin Wall.  Back then (and mainly because of the division of the city), Berlin must have looked pretty sleepy in comparison with the vibrant, thriving, artistic city it became after the reunification of Germany.
Like Dresden, East-Berlin was full of friendly people and we chatted quite a lot (in our broken German) with the local youth, demolishing for good our prejudices about brainwashed broken-spirited people on the other side of the Iron Curtain.  Yet, there were also some awkward moments, like our visit to the telecommunication tower at the Alexanderplatz.  It was dusk time and from the observation platform we could see the sharp separation between both halves of the City, with West-Berlin bathing in light while  East-Berlin was plunged into near-complete darkness… everything was scarce in the communist East, also electricity.
After returning to the hotel, we went to the bar and ordered a beer.  So far, all foods and beverages which we consumed in East-Germany were absolutely dreadful, so I didn’t expect much of this pint of beer.  The name of the beer was ‘Budweiser’ but luckily this brew had nothing to do with the watery American substance with the same name.  On the bottle I could read that this beer came from the town of Budweis (České Budějovice) in Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic) and the taste was absolutely fabulous … probably the best non-Belgian beer in the world.  And this beer was not only tasty, it had also a magic effect on my German language skills (despite drinking only one bottle) and for the first (and last and only) time of my life I was capable to have fluent conversations in German with some locals.  It was our last evening in the communist world and we were really having a great time.  One of my roommates even got so much carried away that she briefly smuggled a Czechoslovakian schoolboy into our hotel room.  Despite (or thanks to) the fact that we couldn’t communicate (he only spoke Czech … or was it Slovak?), he was a real cutie … but it was clear that things were maybe getting a bit too cozy in the East and it was time to go home …
The next day, we crossed Checkpoint Charlie into West-Berlin and – after the bus got the much-needed repairs – we headed back to Belgium, leaving behind the mystifying parallel world on the other side of the Iron Curtain.  Little did we know that only a short time later, the Wall would suddenly collapse and Berlin would finally rise from the ashes …

Witchtape #76 | Guest Wizz : Lars Neubert

That rainy winter morning, the little witch woke up in a wet and windy forest.  With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven (which always happens in a different location and in the ever-changing company of two other witches).
After finishing her daily inspection round of the muddy woods, the barefoot girl washed her feet in a little stream, said goodbye to the forest dwellers, and flew into the unknown.  She knew she would – as always - reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.  
This time she flew straight to the East and it was a really long flight.  Never before had she ventured this far eastwards.  After a couple of hours, the rainclouds dissipated and soon she was flying over a snow-covered winter landscape under a glorious blue sky.
While passing over a huge forest, she sensed she had reached her destination and gently touched down in a clearing.  To her great surprise, she wasn’t welcomed by two witches but instead of that, two female wolves were waiting for her.  After a long hug with both animals (hugging a fluffy wolf is particularly pleasant when it’s freezing cold), it appeared that warm clothes and boots were waiting for their guest, with exactly the same grey color as wolf fur.  After putting on the comfortable cape, the little witch felt a very special energy descending over her body … and she immediately knew this was pure wolf energy.  And to her amazement, all of a sudden she was capable of speaking wolf language fluently.  Then the two wolves took the little witch deeper into the woods.  It was an old forest named Puszcza Białowieska, one of the very rare primeval forests in Europe and most trees were already centuries old.  With the immaculately white snow carpet, the majestic trees looked like pillars of a natural cathedral.  Finally they reached the biggest tree the girl had ever seen of her whole life.  The wolves explained this oak tree was named ‘The Guardian of Zwierzyniec’ and its circumference was a staggering 658 cm.  The wolves led the girl to the other side of the tree, where she found an ancient book, lying on a carpet of moss and fern leaves.  The eldest wolf explained that this holy book used to belong to an old wise witch, who was sadly burned at the stake during the persecutions of the 16th century.  Luckily, the old woman saw her fate coming and managed to hand over the holy book to a pack of wolves, who protected it ferociously for over 50 generations.  And since a few years, on every full moon day one random witch is being invited to come and read this venerable book.  And on that snowy day it was the little witch’s turn to get the honour to discover this hidden treasure.  With cautious movements, the girl opened the ancient book and started reading.  On page 1 she found out that the writing of this book had commenced on the 1st day of February of the year 1202, which was that day exactly 819 years ago.  After that, the girl browsed further and deeper into the book and soon she was completely absorbed into this invaluable treasure trove of wholesome magic spells, but it also treated more mundane subjects like a recipe of horseradish stew, a dish which the little witch had so far failed to get right.  The witch was so immersed in the ancient book, that she kept on reading all night long (with the help of some floating lights which she created using a spell which came straight out of the book).  The next morning, the girl was full of new energy and insights, thanked the two female wolves with a (long and fluffy) goodbye hug and flew back westwards to her own forest, wiser and more accomplished than ever before …
