Hailing from Leipzig @JantheJanthe a resident at the prominent @institut-fuer-zukunft belongs to a group of aspiring (female) artists and collectives, which advocate for a visibility of females and under-represented people within the scene and possibly becoming representatives for a more equal and fair approach and access to the scene with all its different technical and cultural facets. It can’t be denied that Janthe’s day job tasks in the field of political education and on the contrary her musical commitment coincide and complement each other at the one point or the other just like electronic music or rather the scene itself has always had a political direction in its apolitically entity, even when latter has changed over the years - partly. With Torture the Artists Janthe discusses several ways of changes within the local scene of Leipzig, including the creation of venues for initially mentioned groups to follow musical ambitions among other things regarding the subject and also deviating from it in order to provide personal information how she first encountered the scene and started her musical career.

The 69th podcast of Hapësira coming from Janthe includes the proper sounds of house music between deep house and rolling baselines that slowly transition into hour of an energetic one.

Our journey with Shuray & Walle began with a casual brunch date on Saturday morning. Their only instruction was, "Bring records, guys." As we stepped into their flat, everything suddenly made sense. We instantly lost ourselves in the music together, feeling like we had known each other for years, even though we had never met before. We spent the entire day and night talking, playing records, and vibing, completely forgetting about the planned brunch. Since then, we can look back on countless sessions like this.

So, the 10th episode of the Lotion series is truly something special for us. After being underground selectas for 10+ years, Shuray & Walle have become a cornerstone of Leipzig's house scene. It's a vibe, a feeling you get from their selection of deep, yet minimalist house music. Their driving groove, combined with warmth, soul, and a big, honest smile, just pushes the right buttons – every time! Whether you already know the deal or are just discovering them, now is the time to dive in and enjoy!

Lotion 010

Sunday evening, April 20th, 2025 – Sisyphos was packed, the Wintergarten buzzing with friends, family, and a dance floor full of familiar faces. To celebrate my 50th Birthday, Frazer Campbell, Scuba, George Fitzgerald, and I took turns behind the decks, keeping the room moving from start to finish. It was one of those nights where the music did all the talking – raw, hypnotic, and unfiltered. Moments blurred into hours as we dug deep into our record bags, each drop landing just right, each track a nod to those endless, hazy nights that only Berlin seems to get away with.

This recording is a snapshot of that night – a little slice of chaos, a lot of groove, and a room that never once stood still. Play it loud.

Here comes my solo debut set from 14.06.25 at Cave Plötzensee for Breeze Only!
This is the club recording of the closing set.
I’m really happy with how everything turned out. I only started playing eight months ago, so I’m especially grateful to Cash Only and the Breeze Collective for trusting me as a guest DJ.
Somewhere in the last 35 minutes, someone in the crowd bumped into my needle but we kept the energy flowing. Thanks to the mastering, it almost sounds like a loop, as the needle luckily jumped back to the beginning. So let’s keep looking out for each other on the dance floor and around the booth 🎛️🪩🫶🏾
Thank you to everyone who showed up and danced with us on this unforgettable day/night <3

Guys, we need to talk - since vinyl wizard Dahmar's flawless mix is still orbiting the Olganitz clouds! 

What felt like a mix-up was actually a perfect match: he played right before Prosumer - their resemblance had people guessing and confused the WWW but you should know by now and follow Leipzig's precious treasure!

Next up in our live recordings from NACHTI °25: LIA

A longtime Nachti partner-in-crime, she has that rare gift for place, time, and people. She spun the crowd’s energy into a Saturday night ride with proper soulful vinyl house rollers — a classic one we’ll happily keep stuck on replay.
