🍃 Xia Ke presents "Get Lost" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 308 🍃

[ GER] 
Nach einer etwas längeren Pause in unserer Podcastreihe begrüßen wir heute Xia Ke aus Shanghai. Der sympathische Producer, DJ und Labelbetreiber mit dem Hang zu organischen Klängen im deepen Downtempogewand ist uns bereits vor einiger Zeit aufgefallen. Seine Mixe bestechen durch eine große Dichte an Atmosphäre, welche durch überwiegend cineastische Übergänge erzeugt wird. Quasi ein Sound der auch gut zu unserer Reihe passt. Ein wenig angepasst hat er diesen aber trotzdem. aber hört selber und findet den Unterschied. 

Tausend Dand Xia für diese feine Reise ins Dickicht der organischen Afterhour.

After a slightly longer break in our podcast series, we welcome Xia Ke from Shanghai today. We noticed this likeable producer, DJ, and label owner with a penchant for organic sounds in deep downtempo guise some time ago. His mixes captivate with their dense atmosphere, which is created predominantly by cinematic transitions. It's a sound that fits well with our series. He has adapted it a little, though. But listen for yourself and see if you can spot the difference. 

A thousand thanks to Xia for this fine journey.

This was definitely one of my favorite gigs this year, played on the strawberry floor at monkey business II.🍓🍓

The dome, warmly lit in shades of red, cradled barefoot dancers tuning into the frequencies of music. the bass reverberating the space outside, as people gathered together and flow artists weaved their magic.🍓🍓

it is these intimate settings that truly touch my heart & weaving this set in the moment touched a vulnerable space within, bringing a sense of inner peace, flow and freedom. '🍓🍓

Thank you to all of those who brought life to the music, and to all the producers for their creations. '

Enjoy!

Hello! The song "Luke" here replaced with correct thing. Sorry for mispreciness... :)

Ephesians chapter 6 verses 13 - 17

Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the witch apprentice) gazed at the bright light of the near full supermoon and they were already feeling excited about their next witch coven. But this month, their bodies started to feel ticklish one day earlier than normal, so the witches decided to take off and fly in South-Eastern direction, following their inner compass. The girls flew much further than ever before, to a land which was much warmer than their home forest in Flanders. It was also drier, yet way more varied and diverse, a mosaic of Mediterranean shrublands interspersed with lush green valleys with olive and fig trees, which the girls had never seen with their own eyes before.
The girls flew straight towards a low mountain range, which was greener and cooler than the coastal areas. Then they saw a woman waving at them at the foot of an old tree. Hekske and Falke sensed that this woman was a witch and that they had reached their destination.
The witches gently touched down and got a warm welcome from the witch, who introduced herself as Suha. She pointed at the olive tree and told her guests that the tree had the same age as herself… a bit over 2000 years!!
Hekske and Falke looked in disbelief at each other and realized that the history of this part of the world goes much further back in time than in Western Europe. In fact, this area is the cradle of the sisterhood of witches! Suha explained that they were in the middle of the lush green Ajloun Mountains. For a long time, she was the only Palestinian witch left in the area, and she admitted that it was too much work to take care of all the trees. But now a new generation of witches is rising up. Suha pointed in the distance where 6 young witch apprentices were running towards them. The girls were full of energy and fire and gave a lot of hugs to their European guests. Soon these young witches would be ready to take care of the trees in all corners of the Levant, replacing non-native plants by native species, in order to restore the original ecosystem of this part of the world.
Then one of the girls pointed at the sky and they saw 3 witches flying towards them. These were all friends of Suha: Mona from Mount Druze, Hannah from Mount Carmel and Juliana from the Beqaa Valley. The people from this part of the world rarely get along these days, but inside the sisterhood of witches it’s all friendship, respect and love.
Suha led her guests to a nearby river, where they all slipped out of their white dresses and took a refreshing bath in the crystal-clear water, after which Suha gave new dresses to all her guests and to the 6 apprentices. These long dresses were all white with beautiful green, black and red patterns along the seams. Suha and the 6 girls had been working for 10 days to stitch these dresses together. They all tried their dresses on, and miraculously these were all a perfect fit. After this, Mona took her bag and pulled out another surprise: she had brought apricot paste from Syria (which is known to have the finest apricots in the world). The women immediately started preparing Qamar al-Din, a sweet traditional apricot juice. 
And Suha had also prepared ma’amoul, which are semolina cookies filled with figs, dates and pistachios from nearby groves. All the girls enjoyed these delicious cookies with Arabic coffee and a touch of cardamom. 
The women had such a great time that they hadn’t noticed the sun had already gone down. This would be the start of a long and unforgettable night, full of mystic ceremonies and ecstatic dances…

Funga Frequencies – A Sonic Tribute to the Kingdom Beneath 🍄✨

Recorded live at the closing party of the Pilzfestspiele 2025 at WUK in Vienna, this mix is a deep dive into the psychedelic landscapes of downtempo – a sonic adventure dedicated to the hidden, mystical realm of Funga.

It celebrates a milestone in ecological awareness: thanks to visionary mycologists like Giuliana Furci, fungi are now officially recognized as a kingdom of life alongside flora and fauna.

Sharing the stage that night with the mind-blowing Cosmo Sheldrake, the enchanting Sanna Lu Una (the “Björk of Vienna”), and Knobs, one of my all-time favorite techno producers. What an unforgettable finale to a wild, inspiring week of mycelial magic.

Welcome To Funga

Every drop is different. Every beat is the same.
Long Coffee is an album to experience, not just listen to. Infinite love for electronic music 👽👽👽

Long Coffee (Decaf Dream)

Badawan (Tsunami) is a multidimensional being of many names and forms, also known as Jolie Roger and Looping Louie.
Badawan grew up in the jungle and drum and bass scene, playing gigs as Jolie Roger for Tsunami and WCC. Helping to establish the infamouse Lost In Nature festival. Meanwhile his musical focuse transformed and is now meandering between psychedelic influenced Downtempo, santeria-sattelschlepperstep, galloping dancefloor soundscapes and dark progressiv sonic adventures.

Badawan moves between deep, psychedelic textures, hypnotic grooves, and driving rhythms. With a storyteller’s sense for flow, he guides the crowd from shadowy, progressive passages into bright, kaleidoscopic moments. Rooted in underground culture, his sound blends raw energy with fine detail and atmospheric depth – a mix of instinct and precision that lingers long after the last beat.
