This is a very late tribute to the 2023, long after the days of this past memorable year are numbered. Maybe, it took so long for me to upload this set because I was busy, maybe because it was harder to say goodbye than expected. To finally do so, I would like to share this recording with you guys, which was played at @suedpol-hamburg on Dec. 16th. 2023. "Trio Infernale" refers to my two very dear friends and me, who accompanied me.

Being one of the first electronic night clubs, I have ever visited, it means the world to me that I got the opportunity to debut in the holy halls of Südpol in 2023. THANK YOU so much for the invitation!!! For me, this venue has somehow managed to not only maintain its attraction to a vibrant & colorful crowd, but thereby also its unique vibe, I fell in love with years ago. 

About last year:
Let’s be honest... I didn’t feel too nostalgic about 2023 coming to an end since it has been a non-stop freaking hassle, - serving challenge after challenge with little to no time for rest & recreation. 

It was the year, I found myself struggling at various tasks/ areas in life, leaving me to feel lonely & insecure at times. It‘s been the year, my organization skills oscillated between catastrophic & respectable, resulting in me finally achieving an additional degree, a lifelong appointment in my academic career & taking over new responsibilities for my @afterhour-sounds family.
It was the year, I got the chance to debut at Fusion & Fiasco Festival, Kater Blau & Mensch Meier, I travelled to Jordan & Oslo, only to name a few amazing venues/ places, I‘ve been lucky enough to visit/ perform at. 
It’s was the year, I spend 316 hours on trains or /and got stranded somehere on the way. And finally, it was the year of goodbyes & new beginnings, of leaving my old home & stumbling upon a new one - shattering my future plans to make room for new adventures. 

Though, that’s okay because DJing, or music in general, is remaining the one passion in my life, that will always be there, in which I find comfort whenever it’s needed & that nobody can take away from me. But equally important is that this love has lead me to (re-)meet inspiring people, old & new ones, many of which have remained or grown close friends. 

So, thanks to all my dearest companions for your love, support & patience with me - I can’t wait to embark on the Expedition 2024, hopefully at some point towards Südpol again 🔬💥🔭

Thanks to @bisu-andyou for the skilled mastering.

Trio Infernale @Expedition Südpol, Dez. 2023

Finally, here is my Station Endlos set, played in November 23. 
I played this one for a very curious and intimate crowd. The beauty of a crowd like this is, it gives you the chance to - after gaining their trust - musically send them from here to there to everywhere and play some weird shit you normally would not dare to touch… so that is what I did ;) 
Hope you enjoy coming with me down the rabbit hole for this wilder than usually journey! 
Thanks to Station Endlos for inviting me. 
Lots of love <3

Lisa Filou very wild @ Station Endlos

▌I What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club?
I’m happy to have stopped drinking alcohol. It was a long tough way to admit that I have a problem with it and that I’m actually scared of trying to play without it. 
Plain fact is, that I function better when I’m sober, emotionally and technically. 
So for now Club Mate is mostly the weapon of my choice, with pretty similar results. I loose control while I’m playing, drinking much more than it is good for me and feeling fucked up on the day after.  So while I work my way slowly towards drinking plain water, I practice other methods to deal with my insecurities than grabbing a drink. Dancing for example😅

▌II Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work?
My morning routine to fight berlin winter depression:
I have a cold shower first thing. Always. 
Half a liter of green tea followed by half an hour of breathwork to get my mind and feelings straight. 
Then I do half an hour of qigong to fight the chronic pain in my body. 
If there is time I go for a dip in the river Spree. Yes!
Then I’ll have a luxurious porridge for breakfast. 
After that I try to organize my life for the rest of the day. 
That’s a good day. 
On a bad I was sleepless half of the night so I can’t get up. There is nothing more attractive than sleeping, escaping the overload with all the things I should do and a feeling of being incapable of taking care of myself. And I’ll sleep all day, ending up sleepless at night. And repeat. 
Morning routine works quite well, currently I’m trying to establish an evening routine.
And honestly in don’t know how to find time to do anything else in-between.

▌III Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona?
The biggest benefit was that I deleted 10.000 shitty tracks from my music collection, haha. 
No, seriously, i spent the first lockdown living in a little pop up community out in nature. After some weeks i realize that I hadn’t spent that much time in one place in decades. Also I was feeling happy for the first time in years. 
And I had capacity to contemplate. 
I had spent over 20 years on the fast lane successfully running away from myself and everything else. 
I have been deeply unhappy for ways too long, living the dream of a 20 year old while being in my forties.
What was my plan for the other half of my working life? 
I didn’t have any. 
And I liked the smell of freedom and adventure in it. 
So I did a professional training for somatic bodywork and started another, longer one for Bodypsychotherapy which I’m still into. 
In a way I’m doing what I always did, I help other to connect with their body and emotions, and show them how to let go of bullshit. 
And I had the call to talk about all that stuff, to show myself as what I really am and how I really feel and give others the chance to do the same. 
So i started a podcast RAVE & HEALTH which will go online in April.

Was ein wunderbar mystischer Morgen in diesem theatralisch roten Salon. Es war uns eine Ehre, sowohl den Mystic Creatures Abschied als auch das Wiedersehen im ehemaligen Mensch Meier - jetzt Abstrakt - bespielen zu dürfen.
 
Wir danken all den tanzenden und unseren lieben Mystics für eure Energie und euer Vertrauen auf dieser musikalischen Reise. Das gilt nichtzuletzt für euer Feedback, was uns wirklich viel bedeutet. 
Vom ersten bis zum letzten Takt haben wir die Zeit mit euch mehr als genossen und schwelgen in Erinnerungen. Um diese festzuhalten sowie die Stimmung in euren Alltag transportieren zu können, findet ihr nun das Set online. 
 
Wir freuen uns wie wild auf das nächste Mal. Bis dahin eine gute Zeit. 
 
Caroline & Julian

Ein Morgen im roten Salon || Mystic Creatures - Abstrakt Opening

As the sun rises, champagne corks pop, and pulsating beats reverberate from all corners - that's when Frau Rü invites you on her musical odyssey. Sometimes it's melodic, other times she unleashes the bass from the speakers."
"There's nothing I love more than dancing into the sunrise with others.

Wuza Waves #085 - Frau Rü - Rave against the patriarchy

It’s almost four weeks ago that we welcomed spring together at our big Easter Rave @renate.clubberlin. Today we give you a little throwback to the moment, when night took over and the beloved play of twilight began. When @audaemusic took over the decks and mesmerized us with her aura. 💖

Between percussions, the stakkato of dark disco synths and soulful vocals you find the playfulness of the neverland. Tempting each other in a never ending dance, rawring energy guides us deeper and deeper into the loving arms of devouring grooves. ✨

Three never-getting-old questions to audae: 

🍊 What's on your agenda for 2024?

For 2024, I plan to release my next songs and produce my first full-length EP. I'm also looking to develop my live set and establish a home studio, creating a dedicated space for my music production and a safe sanctuary for my body and soul. Performing my songs live for an audience is a major goal, as is spending quality time with my loved ones. I am also planning to travel and reconnect with my roots by spending some time in the south of France.

🍊 Which historical moment would you like to have been a part of?

I would have loved to experience ancient Egypt, observing the construction of the pyramids and meeting Cleopatra. Immersing myself in the rich culture and mysticism of this civilization would have been truly fascinating.

🍊 Can you share a recent moment when you stepped out of your comfort zone, and what did you learn from it?
Performing live has been a big step for me. Singing my own songs in front of people, especially since I used to be shy, feels like a dream come true. It's not just about the music—it's also about learning how to handle all the technical stuff that goes into a live performance. Overall, it's been a big challenge but also a really rewarding experience. I hope to continue sharing it for example this week end in Paris!
