((Story continued from Witchtape #110)
After having passed the test of the cold under the frigid waterfall, and the test of the heat in the hot spring, Hekske (the little witch) followed in the tracks of the 2 Eldnorns who were climbing to the summit of an intimidating active volcano.  The Eldnorns are an old tribe of fire witches who live in a remote area of Iceland.  After a long and gruelling climb they finally reached the rim of the volcano.  The little Flemish witch (who had never seen a volcano in her whole life) was curious how the crater of a volcano would look like.  She peered over the rim and to her great surprise, there was a frozen lake inside the crater.  The view from the summit of the mountain was absolutely breathtaking and the 3 witches had a majestic view over a rugged landscape of volcanoes and glaciers.  For the little witch (who was used to her cosy green home forest in Flanders), it felt as if she was on another planet.  Just at that moment, the volcano started to rumble once again.  The Eldnorn witches didn’t seem to be the least bit worried and the 3 women started to descend into the crater, led by the eldest Eldnorn (850 years of age).  The barefoot witches cautiously descended over the sharp rocks which had surreal colors, ranging from deep red over emerald green to bright yellow.  Finally they reached the edge of the frozen lake.  The ice was very thick and had uncountable shades of blue and looked absolutely mesmerizing.
The barefoot witches stepped onto the ice and cautiously ventured around the frozen lake.  For Hekske it was a surprisingly pleasant feeling on the soles of her feet.  After a while they returned to the shore and the youngest Eldnorn (only 502 years of age) opened the bag she had been carrying all the time.  To Hekske’s great surprise, she pulled out 3 pairs of white ice skates.  The little witch had never worn skates of her whole life (or shoes for that matter) so the Icelandic witches helped her into her skates.  Before stepping onto the ice, the eldest witch uttered a spell.  Hekske was astonished to find out that the skates somehow knew exactly where to go, and she started skating effortlessly.  After making 3 counterclockwise tours of the frozen lake, the 3 witches got together and started to perform a spontaneous ice dance, moving around with graceful movements in their sparkling white dresses with the mystic orange Eldnorn symbols.  Finally the 3 witches converged near the centre of the lake, where they touched hands and formed a circle.  The little witch sensed that the crater lake was very deep at this point, and that there was even a direct connection all the way to the centre of the Earth. The witches sang some sweet age-old Eldnorn songs, which resonated back from the near vertical inner slopes of the crater.  After finishing with singing, the 3 witches stood still, closed their eyes and enjoyed the absolute silence of their environment.  Then all of a sudden a rumble emerged from straight below, louder and more menacing than ever before.  The little witch clearly felt the ice tremble.  And when looking down, she noticed that air bubbles were forming underneath the ice.  The Icelandic witches still didn’t seem to be very worried, but decided anyway that the ice was getting too hot under their feet.  After getting out of their skates, they climbed back to the rim of the crater, while the volcano rumbled intermittently with increasing frequency and intensity.  Finally, there was a really long and loud rumble which lasted for minutes, while the ice of the crater lake had become completely white because of gases building up under the ice.  Then there was suddenly an eerie silence.  It was as if mother earth was holding her breath … the 3 witches looked at each other and waited for what was to come …

Mein Set vom 12.11.2022
Das Leben und die Liebe feiern 2.0💙✨

Verweber @ Das Leben und die Liebe feiern 2.0 12.11.2022

This set is about freedom.
Freedom to live freely, 
Freedom to be who we are, 
Freedom to think and act in respect of Mother Earth and all living beings.

This set is dedicated to Kohana, a 20 years old female orca who recently died in captivity. She spent her whole life privated from her freedom to live in the Ocean, among her pod.

Through this musical journey, I set the intention of honoring Kohana, her being, her spirit, her courage to live in captivity for so long. I secretly hope she had experienced joy in her life and even if it was in an aquatic park, I’m sure she had moved a lot of people and planted seeds in people’s consciousness who saw her as who she really is : a magnificent creature of the seas, and not only there to serve human’s desires of being entertained. 

She is now FREE, swimming in the cosmic consciousness! 

During my whole creative process, while I was playing, while I was recording again the set (the first recording was totally saturated and unusable), and even now, while I’m writing these words, she is with me, giving me force and confidence.

I’m amused to think that while I was jumping on the decks, it was her jumping through me.

Therefore, in this musical journey I had to honor to share with you during O’Tawa - Okinawa, I explored various emotions (sadness and anger but also uplifting joy and peace) through different genres, mostly down/darktempo but also melodic techno, downpitched techno, psygressive and house. 

I want to thank all the incredible musicians who made this set happen. 
I have lots of respect for these producers who bring their art into the world and inspire us at every listen.

The artwork is made by me. I picture KoHana spirit, swimming peacefully and freely.

Thanks again O'Tawa for your invitation and thank you all for dancing and honoring Kohana with me.
It was for sure a dance for her and our energies combined to support all the orcas still in captivity to give them force, courage and feelings of joy.

Noelle from Zurich, also known as Noona, earned respect after her initial appearances on Soundcloud. As a result, Tony and Eve invited her to perform live on March 22 (Hotelbar ZRH) and submit a set. Its a great hour of music. Enjoy.

Chameleon #67 by nuancé mirrors the unpredictability of spring and the sea—constantly changing, waves coming and going, always different yet familiar.
Melodies, tones, and beats intertwine subtly. Shifts from soft to deep, slow to fast, dark to vibrant, explore the nuances of sound. It evokes a somewhat synesthetic quality as tones and colors blend.

Ich war noch Beate-Jungfrau, als ich am Sonntag barfuß über die flauschigen Teppiche trat. Es war erst halb acht, doch die Party war bereits in vollem Gange – @ghostofher und @ditolove begeisterten die frühen Downtempo-Lovers.

Die Freude und Dankbarkeit, hier spielen zu dürfen, wuchsen noch ein Stück. Um 23 Uhr war es dann soweit: Die Feierei lief dank @lucamusto auf Hochtouren, als ich die Decks übernahm.

„Oh shit...“, schoss es mir durch den Kopf. „Die ersten Tracks meines vorbereiteten Sets sind zu langsam und zu energielos für diese ausgelassene Stimmung.“
Doch ganz im Gegenteil! Die warmherzige Crowd schätzte den Stil- und Tempowechsel beim Aufbau des Sets und feierte mit Hingabe, bis es 2 Uhr schlug.

Vielen, vielen Dank an alle Tänzer:innen – eure Energie hat mich umgehauen! Ein großes Dankeschön an die Beate und vor allem an Julia, die Mut bewiesen hat, mir als Frischling diesen Slot zu geben.

Much love! ❤️
