Redfreya (@redfreya) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 216████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work?It depends on how many projects I have on the go at once; sometimes I am solely doing music, other times when I am working a 'day job' on the side, it comes and goes, so at those times life is very busy because it's 2 jobs :') . But I think a lot of artists can relate to this - gigging can be very up and down, especially in the phase of 'establishing yourself', and it can be reassuring to have a steady source of income during those phases.Regardless, a few key principles remain...I always start the day with a good coffee (this is like the highlight of my day haha) and a look at the sun (even though in London it's often raining)...I try to prioritise things to take care of my health, and one really important one for DJs is to work on your circadian rhythm - it's important to get outside in daylight first thing in the morning after waking as this exposure to sunlight helps to reset your sleep pattern. Usually I'm getting music admin or other 'day-job' type work tasks done during the day, and then it comes to producing and working on music for DJ sets etc, I prefer to do this in the evening when it's darker. Actually my favourite timing for studio work would be 7-8pm - 2-3am, I feel a lot more creative during these hours (which helps also for the DJ job) !Finally, I have been working on having a proper wind-down routine at the end of the day - it's helpful to switch off all technology, and put the phone in another room / on airplane mode after a certain hour. I will try to do relaxing, present moment things for a bit at the end of the day, like meditate, read a book, take a bath etc, and get into the here & now because when we're working on tasks I think our brain gets so caught up in the future and our goals etc. Sometimes I'm also hitting the gym and sauna on evenings, also important for health!▌II Which artist influenced you a lot?My favourite painter is Rothko and I am very inspired by him, just in use of colour to portray raw emotions. I love simplicity, and I like bold artwork, whatever the medium be it painting or music. I love art where the message is communicated with subtlety. I appreciate raw, distressed and imperfect elements in artwork too, as opposed to a glossy finish. Musically, I've been inspired / influenced by artists like Nicolas Jaar, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Mano Le Tough, Stimming, Recondite and many more of course.▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?Once, during a set, a lighting engineer asked me exactly what mood I want to evoke with my music, and the answer always stuck with me (and I think it's very true in this set). I want to bring about a moody, groovy, hypnotic vibe - melodic, yet subtle and not 'in your face', but layered with quite intense emotional depth and some melancholic elements. I always think that being brought to feeling a bit sad on the dancefloor (or when listening music) is the best and it's a goal when I'm playing or making a mix. It helps you to feel the full spectrum of your emotions & release them. I really hope you'll enjoy this mix :)█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Redfreya (@redfreya) SC - https://soundcloud.com/redfreya █ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#redfreya #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
Soso Klein (@soso-klein) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 215████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?I come from a family where classical music was always played and listened to, and I played piano & harp during my childhood. I later discovered electronic music, then downtempo music from Germany, and immediately loved it. I started DJing in Berlin in the summer 2022 and it's been an incredible musical adventure since, which I can't wait to continue.▌II How would you describe your style?I like to mix different genres of downtempo & mid-tempo in my DJ-sets, driven by groovy bass lines and melodic moments, and I try my best to share a story with the people and take the public on a musical trip.▌III Which artist influenced you a lot?There are 2 electronic music artists who have had a particular impact on me, long before I started djing. The french producer Thylacine and the Leipzig-based band Wide Awake. There's often a track from one or the other in my DJ sets. For this United we Rise podcast, the closing track is one of my favourites by Thylacine: Memories from his album Transsiberian.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Soso Klein (@soso-klein) SC - https://soundcloud.com/soso-kleinIG - https://www.instagram.com/soso__klein/RA - https://de.ra.co/dj/sosokleinFB - https://www.facebook.com/sosokleinmusic█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#sosoklein #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
GIGEE (@gigee6 – Spectrum / Mobilee / Katermukke) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 214████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?Soooo...Getting ready for a set is like laying out a roadmap, sorting through 100-150 tracks a couple of days beforehand. But when I hit the stage and feel the crowd's energy, that's when the real fun starts. I dive into their vibe, see what they're feeling, and let it steer the ship. It's all about being in the moment, reading the room, and crafting a unique experience together. So I pick each track after another based on that. There's something special about that live connection—it's where the magic happens.▌II How does "Babylon" reflect your musical journey thus far? "Babylon" is more than just a track—it's a reflection of my personal and artistic evolution. It draws inspiration from the intricate tapestry of human emotions and experiences that shape us. Each note is a snapshot of where I am in my musical journey, capturing the essence of growth, exploration, and self-discovery. Through "Babylon," I aim to invite listeners into this journey, to resonate with the highs and lows, the twists and turns, and ultimately find solace in the shared human experience.▌III "Babylon" seems to blend various genres seamlessly. How do you maintain this eclectic style while still staying true to your artistic vision? The eclectic blend of genres within "Babylon" is a reflection of my belief in the fluidity of music and the power of genre-bending experimentation. While my sound is often associated with melodic techno and indie dance, I'm not one to be confined by labels or boundaries. Instead, I draw inspiration from a diverse array of musical influences, spanning across electronic, world, ambient, and experimental genres.This approach allows me to infuse each track with a unique flavor and texture, ensuring that every listening experience is fresh and exciting. Whether it's the pulsating rhythms of techno, the infectious melodies of indie dance, or the ethereal atmospheres of ambient music, I aim to create music that resonates with listeners on a deep and emotional level.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ GIGEE (@gigee6 – Spectrum / Mobilee / Katermukke) IG - https://www.instagram.com/gigee6/SC - https://soundcloud.com/gigee6 SP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7mqebOCOql0RKtn1bGUdOd?si=VvBn0rFfR0SPdNf0GmmyVw█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#gigee #spectrum #mobilee #katermukke #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse

ANGST vor GRETA (@angstvorgreta) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 212████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?I wanted to share some tracks I loved from the past with new more bouncing ones. I really like to make the transitions with my vocals and to create variations that inspire me.▌II Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona?Yes! I met a lot of artists. As no one could be on the roads, it allowed djs & artists to connect more via the internet and it was the begin of great collaborations.▌III Is there some new things you learned in the last while? Did you find more inputs or new topics to focus on?Yes! I focus on what inspires me! There are a lot of new inputs coming and I love to play with them. And I recently learned how a wish can come true: feel the wish & try to forget about it. The day you less expect it, the dream will come true. █████████████████████████████████████████████████ ANGST vor GRETA (@angstvorgreta) SC- https://soundcloud.com/angstvorgretaBP - https://www.beatport.com/artist/angst-vor-greta/1065041SP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/523kilxCABZGEE85KJHYreIG - https://www.instagram.com/angstvorgreta/YT - https://www.youtube.com/@decidelamusic█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#angstvorgreta #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
Gazbee (@gazbeee / Wumanas) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 211████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I How would you describe your style?My style is eclectic - it’s super diverse and I always say I’m genre-agnostic. My approach to music is all about storytelling - twists and turns and building excitement. Sometimes it can be bright, other times trippy, but it’s always groovy. The sets I make really reflect my state of mind at the time and sometimes even the state of the world. It keeps changing.▌II What’s your favorite food?When I’m not doing music, I’m cooking so I’m going to cheat and share my favourite cuisine instead - which is Egyptian food! Not many people know what it is, and honestly it’s hard to describe but there are lots of super delicious dishes like molokheya, koshari, ful and fatta…yummmm. I’ll let you do the research!▌III Which tracks marks a highlight in your set?I think every set has to have many highlights - It’s never just one! A highlight for me is an unexpected track, it’s that moment that gives you this sudden sinking feeling in your stomach (in the best way), heightens your senses or makes you feel these subtle vibrations on your skin. It’s that part that lifts your heart or suddenly makes you smile. You tell me which tracks in my set do that to you. █████████████████████████████████████████████████ Gazbee (@gazbeee / Wumanas) SC - https://soundcloud.com/gazbeeeIG - https://www.instagram.com/itsgazbee/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#gazbee #wumanas #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
Babxi (@babxi / Diskolusion) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 210████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?Since moving away from Canada at 20 years old, living in changing places (Asia, then Europe), dance floors have always been a constant in my adulthood. I’ve even been lucky enough to turn my passion for music and curiosity about the diverse characters of nightlife into professional opportunities, as a journalist – in Bangkok, I had a nightlife column for a major news website interviewing DJs, promoters and performers. In Berlin I’ve reported on diverse aspects of the local scene for international media from Lonely Planet to The Guardian and USA Today.That also brought me to a special connection to United We Stream in 2020 – I wrote about the platform in its earliest days for The Guardian and Thrillist, story about the creativity and perseverance of Berlin’s club scene despite the pandemic shutdown – a story I am very pleased I could help share to the world.During the pandemic, and time spent on a Thai island in a home frequented by touring DJs with no events but plenty of house parties, I was able to watch, learn, practice and really take the leap to translating my love of storytelling to production software and being on the decks.▌II How would you describe your style?I describe my sound as a ‘Dreamcatcher of Disco and House’ – my aim is for my music to feel familiar, fresh… and of course, feel good.With high energy and positivity, I seek to appeal to the free spirits and old souls within us all. I believe that nostalgia is one of the most powerful forces in music, and though we often see samples misused and abused these days, we can all remember times when a certain lyric or melody connected us to beautiful past memories, different times and places. For me, nostalgia can mean digging for soul grooves, Motown samples, 90s vinyl tributing earlier sounds – in this way, I want my music to be a trip down memory lane that’s always intentional, and pay respect to dance music’s roots in amplifying lesser-heard voices.In short, my sound mostly spans worlds of disco, house (especially the early 90s), and when it comes to newer music, a special emphasis on producers who share unique perspectives with their music and provide diverse representation – for example, underground dance music from Asian and diaspora producers, Japanese house, etc.▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?Lately, I’m obsessed with the sounds of 90s disco house – in this mix, you'll find a lot of that, and hopefully, feel that sweet disco influence bridged to 90s house music laced with piano and synths.This mix aims to evoke nostalgia on different levels – bouncy 90s club energy and excitement inspired by earlier times. For me, the authentic feel of 90s vinyl and production with disco grooves is something that just can’t be replicated!This mix also resonates with me especially as a bridge between me and my dad. Everything I know and love about music has been passed down to me by him. Back in the 70s, he had a perm and danced in platform shoes. Playing tracks we always listened to together helps me remember his spirit carries on. He passed away in 2022. █████████████████████████████████████████████████ Babxi (@babxi / Diskolusion) SC - https://soundcloud.com/babxiRA - https://ra.co/dj/babxiIG - https://www.instagram.com/xo_babxi/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#babxi #diskolusion #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
KALEEMA (@kaleema_ba / Wonderwheel Recordings) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 209████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?I've been studying academic violin and piano since I'm 13 years old, later I've studied music production in New York and music composition at the conservatory in my hometown (Buenos Aires). I've been dj-ing for ten years now, I really enjoy it and it's always a creative experience to find new narratives with different musical genres, soundscapes and I like to play a lot with textures.▌II How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?I made the mix on Ableton and my main inspiration was the concept of sincretism, playing a lot with contrasts, break beats, folklore from latin america, spain and africa.▌III Which artist influenced you a lot?BURIAL █████████████████████████████████████████████████ KALEEMA (@kaleema_ba / Wonderwheel Recordings) SC - https://soundcloud.com/kaleema_baIG - https://www.instagram.com/kaleema_LINKS - https://linktr.ee/kaleema_█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#kaleema #wonderwheelrecordings #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
Dave Dinger (@dave-dinger / Bachstelzen / KaterBlau) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 208████████████████████████████████████████████████▌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. █████████████████████████████████████████████████ Dave Dinger (@dave-dinger / Bachstelzen / KaterBlau) SC -https://soundcloud.com/dave-dingerIG - https://www.instagram.com/dave_dingerFB - https://facebook.com/dingerdaveYT - http://www.youtube.com/@Raveandhealth█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#davedinger #bachstelzen #katerblau #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
SKADI (@skadi_music_hh ) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 207████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen?Als ich Techno nach langer Pause für mich wiederentdeckt habe, war für mich schnell klar, dass ich mich tiefergehend mit dieser Musik beschäftigen möchte. Zunächst wollte ich mich zu Hause einfach mit der Technik vertraut machen und Sets zusammenstellen, die ich beim Sport oder auf dem Weg zur Arbeit hören kann. Auch Producing faszinierte mich direkt. Mit Youtube Videos brachte ich mir die ersten Skills auf einem Traktor Controller selbst bei, später konnte ich mit meinem besten Freund in einem kleinen Club in Hamburg an Clubequipment üben. Als ich mich dann ein paar Monate in die Materie eingearbeitet hatte, wurde mir klar, dass ich meine Leidenschaft mit anderen teilen möchte und ich hatte recht schnell meinen ersten Gig.▌II Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert?Vor genau 4 Jahren hatte ich meinen ersten Gig. Natürlich hat sich in der Zeit immer wieder etwas verändert, habe ich mich auf vielen Ebenen weiterentwickelt. Ich habe als Mensch durch das Auflegen mehr Selbstvertrauen entwickelt, traue mir mehr zu. Soundtechnisch habe ich mich eine Zeit lang im Peaktime Techno gefangen gefühlt, die immer gleichen Arrangements haben mich gelangweilt und wenig Spielraum für technische Raffinessen gegeben. Nun wurde mein Sound im letzten Jahr immer hypnotischer, bis ich nun im Hypnotic/Hardgroove gänzlich angekommen bin. Technisch entwickle ich mich noch immer weiter, lerne immer wieder neue Skills dazu und habe mehr Bock, dies auch im Club umzusetzen. So habe ich mir gerade ein Mikro gekauft und experimentiere mit meiner Stimme, das macht mir irre Spaß. Ich begreife mich immer mehr als Artist, nicht mehr nur als DJ, der den Job hat die Massen zu bespaßen (was ich natürlich auch gerne tue).▌III Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben?Am liebsten lege ich 3 Stunden auf. 3 Stunden, in denen ich mit den Ravern durch eine Achterbahn der Gefühle rausche. Es gibt happy parts, düstere Momente, es gibt mal einen Track der dich an ein Sommerfestival erinnert, dann wirst du von einem Rap-Part überrascht oder mit der nächsten Bounce Attacke vom Stampfen ins Shaken gebracht. Ich liebe es, den Menschen eine richtig gute Zeit mit Überraschungsmomenten zu geben. Dafür verbringe ich viel Zeit mit der Auswahl von Tracks, habe oft direkt in mind wie ich was kombiniere, um einen geilen Moment zu erschaffen.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Jo.Ke (@j-ok-e / Feathered Sun, Bar25, Platon Records) IG - https://www.instagram.com/skadi_musicSC - https://soundcloud.com/skadi_music_hhFB - https://www.facebook.com/skadi.music.hh█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#skadi #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse

Habe ihn durchs auflegen ‚wiederentdeckt‘ und mich mit dem Song neu angefreundet. Und dann kamen letztes Jahr die anderen Remixe raus :)Den Monolink Remix von Satie’s Gnossiene Nr.1 feier ich auch sehr ab.▌II Was ist dein Lieblings-Club oder Festival und warum?Lieblingsclub für immer und ewig BAR25, weil es eine komplette Paralellwelt und Spielwiese für Erwachsene war.Lieblingsfestival Garbizc, weil ich da mit dieser Berlin-Community wieder zusammen treffe und auch wegen der musikalischen Vielfalt und der wunderschönen Kunstinstallationen.▌III Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen?Habe in jungem Alter Klavier gespielt und später aus meiner Liebe zum Grunge und ganz besonders Kurz Cobain mit Gitarre und Gesang and angefangen. Wieder entdeckt und wirklich connected habe ich mit meiner Stimme als frischer Vater um meine erst geborene Tochter Anouk in den Schlaf zu helfen. Der Rest kam dann peu a peu und learning by doing.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Jo.Ke (@j-ok-e / Feathered Sun, Bar25, Platon Records) SP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/0RKP3F2s1SHvGpckHuW4S7?si=mgBJMYrUScCwhknx9oCt_wIG - https://www.instagram.com/jo.ke___SC - https://on.soundcloud.com/BZQ2RduQ5JiKyJ6MA█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#jo.ke #featheredsun #bar25 #platonrecords #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse

Nico Tober (@nico-tober / KataHaifisch / Woodlands e.V.) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 204████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club?Seit knapp 2-3 Jahren sehr häufig, Prosecco, Sekt oder Weizen 🧡▌II Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set?Ich achte allgemein immer auf eine schöne Stimmung von Anfang bis zum Ende, dennoch ist das Intro (die ersten 2-3 Tracks) schon mit am wichtigsten (Podcasts), weil es die Leute hoffentlich fesselt 🙃▌III Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben?Ich lege jetzt seit knapp 8 Jahren in Clubs & Festivals regelmäßig auf und habe mich auch vom Sound sehr verändert. Angefangen hat damals alles mit Deep House, danach kam dann Afro House & Melodic Techno bis hin zu Techno also schon etwas schneller. Vor knapp 4-5 Jahren habe ich angefangen mit Downtempo Sets was mich sehr inspiriert hat und auch unser Label „KataHaifsch“ zu dem gemacht hat wo wir jetzt vom Sound stehen :).Im letzten Jahr habe ich sehr viele Indie Dance / Midtempo Sets gespielt. Also häufig immer schön melodisch, basslastig, vielleicht auch manchmal ein etwas sentimentaler Sound der zum Nachdenken & träumen anregt. Und dieses Mal habe ich mich wieder in dem Sound von vor 5-6 Jahren wieder gefunden und mal eine reines Afro House Set aufgenommen. Also ich bin oft sehr vielseitig vom Tempo was mich selber aber auch super glücklich macht, weil man immer wieder was neues entdecken kann und nicht festgefahren ist auf eine Genre.Keep digging ♥️█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Nico Tober (@nico-tober / KataHaifisch / Woodlands e.V.)

justUS (@justusberlin / Beschäftigungstherapie / Berlin Sound Therapy / Ritter Butzke) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 203████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?justUS - that means something like: my music and stories for everyone - just us! Born and raised in Berlin, drawn back to the hometown of techno after an exciting and inspiring time away from home, on the high seas. I got influenced by different styles & cultural aspects. Let the sailor to the helm, give yourself fully to the musical journey around the world. In 2018 I founded the collective 'Beschäftigungstherapie' / BSTHP [Berlin Sound Therapy] with my partner in crime - the name says it all! The party series established itself as successfully as the podcast series in the Berlin underground. My references include the colorful bouquet of the Berlin club scene. Musical excursions to other European capitals, but also international & exotic places in the past. Further, I´m also a permanent fixture and resident at Ritter Butzke.▌II How would you describe your style?My music can be described as impulsive, profound and melodic narratives - progressive and driving indie dance beats with a melodic techno kick consolidate the storys I tell you.▌III Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club?Discoschorle = sparkling prosecco + energie. Makes me funny & drunk. Try out! ;D█████████████████████████████████████████████████ justUS (@justusberlin / Beschäftigungstherapie / Berlin Sound Therapy / Ritter Butzke)LINKS - https://linktr.ee/just_usWEB - https://www.beschaeftigungstherapie.orgSC - https://soundcloud.com/justusberlinIG - www.instagram.com/justus_ofcFB - www.facebook.com/justUSBERLlN█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#justus #ritterbutzke #beschäftigungstherapie #berlinsoundtherapy #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
KLAUDIA (@musicklaudia / WUZA) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 202████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your favorite food?PIZZA! Could eat it everyday!▌II How would you describe your style?I would describe my DJ style as a dynamic fusion of diverse music categories. My sets are a harmonious blend of melancholy and playful elements, creating a unique and engaging experience for the audience. I particularly enjoy the art of editing and reimagining old songs, delving into music from various eras to bring a nostalgic yet fresh vibe to the dance floor. My goal is to take listeners on a journey through time, infusing moments of introspection with bursts of joy, all woven together seamlessly in the tapestry of my sets.▌III What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!My favorite club has to be Kater Blau in Berlin. It holds a special place in my heart because it's more than just a venue; it feels like a second home. Every time I step through its doors, I'm enveloped in a unique atmosphere where I not only enjoy incredible music but also reconnect with friends. The sense of comfort and familiarity at Kater Blau sets it apart from any other club in Berlin.When it comes to festivals, my heart belongs to Bucht. This year, I had the incredible opportunity to work with them, and it only deepened my admiration. The meticulous organization, coupled with the breathtaking location, showcases the passion and dedication poured into creating a truly unforgettable experience. You can feel the heart and soul of the organizers in every aspect of Bucht, making it a festival that resonates with me on a profound level.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ KLAUDIA (@musicklaudia / WUZA)RA - https://ra.co/dj/klaudiaSC - https://soundcloud.com/musicklaudiaIG - https://www.instagram.com/klaudia_biell/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#klaudia #wuza #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
Elias Doré (@elias-dore / Rebellion der Träumer) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 201████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club?That's an easy one - Secco all the way. I find that it hits quite a sweet spot for me in terms of flow, energy and connection with the music.▌II How would you describe your style?This on the other hand is a tougher question.. since I find that many of the usual genre tags - organic house, melodic techno etc. - are not really capturing the essence of what I play and try to convey musically in a club or festival context. I would say that I play quite a broad array of styles, letting one track guide me to the next in terms of harmony, vibe and energy.. I rarely know in the beginning what direction things are going to take and I love to keep people a bit on their toes. I find there's a beautiful challenge for myself as a DJ in the 'task' of weaving very opposite genres such as disco and techno gently into each other, thereby always surprising the floor and keeping the energy up.▌III What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!Bucht der Träumer* .. hands down :) Even now after the temporary closure of the Helenesee/the lake, its still an absolute feast for the senses with a beautifully diverse lineup, so many friends and companions from countless years and raves experienced together.. and it will always hold a special place in my heart, since my closing of the Atlantis floor in 2018 on Sunday Eve was simply one of the most epic musical experiences I've ever had the luck to have.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Elias Doré (@elias-dore / Rebellion der Träumer)WWW - www.eliasdore.deSC - https://soundcloud.com/elias-doreIG - https://www.instagram.com/elias.doreSP - https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/3MlBF2eUccQgQfeihwUtpJ?si=fNFkZFphQnaZHPrAYt3fXw█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#eliasdore #rebelliondertraeumer #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse

Solvane (@solvane / Ritter Butzke / Stil Vor Talent / Katermukke) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 199████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen?Zur elektronischen Musik bin ich gekommen nachdem sich meine Band aufgelöst hat. Ich wollte weiterhin auf der Bühne stehen und Musik machen, aber eben nicht mehr von so ner großen Menge an Personen abhängig sein, wollte keine Kompromisse eingehen. Im Freundeskreis hatte ich ein paar Produzenten und DJs und das hat mich ohnehin schon fasziniert und nach dem Ende der Band hatte ich dann auch die nötige Zeit dafür.▌II Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set?Ein wirkliches persönliches Highlight im Set hab ich nicht. Ich finde es auch schön wenn ein Set harmonisch und nicht auf einen Punkt hin aufgebaut ist. Klaro ist es immer was besonderes wenn eigene Tracks im Set sind, so wie dieses mal meine aktuelle Nummer Redemption aber grundsätzlich mag ich alle Tracks im Set. Ich hab das Set spontan und intuitiv aufgenommen und es ist sehr bunt geworden. Ich hoffe das gefällt den Hörern und ich bin wirklich gespannt was die Hörer als Highlights in dem Set definieren.▌III Was ist dein Lieblings-Club oder Festival und warum?Ich bin ja seit ein paar Jahren sehr eng mit dem Ritter Butzke verbunden. Mein Einstieg war ne Residency und inzwischen darf ich den Club mitgestalten, was mir wirklich großen Spaß macht. Von daher ist die Antwort klar was mein Lieblings-Club ist, aber grundsätzlich gibt es in Berlin sehr viele gute Clubs. Das Niveau ist sehr hoch.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Solvane (@solvane / Ritter Butzke / Stil Vor Talent / Katermukke)IG - http://instagram.com/iamsolvaneSC - https://soundcloud.com/solvaneRA - http://residentadvisor.net/dj/solvaneSP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3bOQBNZv9K0NMW4WudrKb0?si=ejQBEEmATPOxBIcEsfsr8Q█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#solvane #ritterbutzke #stilvortalent #katermukke #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse

Deep Ghosh (@deep_schismic / Flow Music) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 197████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I How would you describe your style?Eclectic storytelling with a cosmic sensual journey grooving on the deeper along of the sonic spectrum▌II Which tracks marks a highlight in your set?The music of late Daniel Zuur aka KRAUT, IV-IN and Jacob Groening really needs to be heard by more people.Daniel was a brother and inspiration in the realm of organic and downtempo music before the genre ever had a name and was bundled all into "deep house". He tragically passed away this summer in July 2023 (drowning in a lake in Amsterdam) but left behind his posthumous debut Genesis: Seed of Life--tuned to 432 Hz--as a healing and grounding giftIV-IN really gets me, as we share very similar musical backgrounds, he gets sexy psychedelic rock & indie and those baritone vocals: totally what I'm about and what shaped my style. Then there is one of my favourite producers of the electronic genre: Jacob Groening, an absolutely incredible musician and emotional storyteller who just released his debut LP Timefades on his imprint Kamai Music. There are so many gems on it, but the groove on "Traces" just floors me and blisses me out simultaneously.▌III Which artist influenced you a lot?My favourite storytellers: Heimlich Knüller, DADADISCO, Magician on Duty, Leggy BLOND, Just Emma, MadmotormiquelAnd my favourite soundmakers: Viken Arman, iorie / Anna Almani, Nhii, Niconé and Dirty Doering, ElfenbergI also have to make a special mention of the Bridges for Music Academy, whom I support wherever I can. It is an inspirational organization grown from a beautiful idea 10 years ago and changed the lives of many marginalized people in Langa, Cape Town. One of their rising talents, Sakhe the Conqueror is also featured here (remixed by a couple of Berlin legends I consider a huge inspiration ;-D) and to be released on BFM Records (the Lange grown label run by Athie Umgido one of the first alumni of the Academy)█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Deep Ghosh (@deep_schismic / Flow Music) SC - https://www.soundcloud.com/deep_schismicIG – https://instagram.com/deep_schismicFB – https://fb.me/deep.schismic█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#deepghosh #flowmusic #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy #twerk #darkdisco #techhouse
AUDAE (@audaemusic / Akasha MX) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 196████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style?The pandemic became a turning point for me in pursuing music production. With the world at a standstill, I saw an opportunity to delve into something I'd always made excuses to avoid. It was as if time had paused, prompting me to question what I truly desired. I decided to open myself up to music, embracing it wholeheartedly.▌II Did you have a mentor?I am lucky to have three mentors in my life—my sister, boyfriend, and best friend—all of whom are accomplished artists, musicians, and DJs. They play a crucial role in my journey, offering daily support, providing valuable feedback, and being there for me in moments of uncertainty. Beyond being mentors, they have become integral life partners, guiding me through both the highs and lows, celebrating victories, and helping me find my center when I out of ligne.▌III How would you describe your style?My musical style is defined by its groovy rhythms, resonant bass lines, and an ethereal vocals.

Andreas Rauscher (@andreasrauscher / Rummels Bucht / Sisyphos) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 194████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen?Ich habe immer schon elektronische Musik geliebt. Anfangs Synth Pop, New Wave und sowas. Schon damals habe ich von meinem ganzen Taschengeld nur Platten gekauft. Als es dann langsam los ging mit Techno, habe ich angefangen zuhause aufzulegen. Zu dieser Zeit habe ich, um mir mein Hobby zu finanzieren, als „Biervorschenker“ ineiner großen Diskothek gearbeitet. Irgendwann kam der Diskothekenbesitzer zu mir,und fragte mich ob ich am nächsten Abend als Dj einspringen könnte weil der „HausPlattenaufleger auf einmal krank geworden ist!“. So hat das ganze begonnen…▌II Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben?Tiefe, dunkle Bässe mit melancholische Synth Melodien die eine Dynamik des euphorisierten Rausches entstehen lassen.▌III Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club?Am liebsten Wasser und den ein oder anderen Wodka ;-)█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Andreas Rauscher (@andreasrauscher / Rummels Bucht / Sisyphos)SC - https://soundcloud.com/andreasrauscherFB - https://www.facebook.com/andreasrauscher.berlinIG - https://www.instagram.com/andreasrauscher/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#andreasrauscher #rummelsbucht #sisyphos #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave #psy

Karina (@karinamusic / Zoo Project Ibiza, C&K, Decay Records) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 191████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?Ibiza, Berlin and New York - these huge influences along with my international upbringing in Norway, Egypt and Poland and my family deeply rooted in classical music have certainly affected my approach to music in general, both in regards to DJ'ing and production.Being one of the residents and co-creators of Ibizas weekly open-air party The Zoo Project on Ibiza had me living on the mediterranean island for more than 10 summers. Berlin, that I would always call my second home in the winter, exposed me to its raw creativity helping develop my production skills whilst playing at venues such as Kater Holzig, Sisyphos or Kitkat. My first visit to New York resulted in a collaboration betweenThe Zoo Project and Brooklyns finest warehouse parties Blk Market. Several years in a row I flew over to play at different warehouses of Brooklyn to share the decks with the likes of Robag Wruhme, Seth Troxler or Daniel Bell just to name a few. Being the first DJ to ever play at Panther Room/Output I soon started to frequently tour North America performing in top notch spots such as Housepitality in San Francisco, Creme de la Creme in Dallas, Smart Bar Chicago, Eaton Hotel in Washington DC and playing at several venues in my favourite Detroit. I have definitely incorporated a more soulful and groovy deep house and disco selection thanks to my trips to the U. S. of A., exploring the big cities and buying records at legendary record stores such as Gramophone (Chicago), Amoeba (San Francisco) or Detroit Threads (Detroit). In Europe I tremendously enjoy visiting the Berlin record shops such as Melting Point and Spacehall, where I dig for dub house, minimal and slow techno.▌II Which tracks marks a highlight in your set?The highlight of this set for me is mixing in the recently released C&K "January" track on Decay Records, which is a collaboration between Connie Yin (Resolute, NYC) and myself. So happy to finally have that out on vinyl! Great remixes on that EP as well, but I chose our original! :)▌III How do you make use of technology?I play strictly vinyl since 1999. My collection is around 10k records spanning across different electronic music styles and moods. I remember the artwork, not names, so playing vinyl comes very natural as I recognise the designs of the covers. I really love playing on rotary mixers, but this particular podcast was recorded in one go on two Technics 1210's and an A&H Xone two channel mixer. I do use software together with machines to create music and I appreciate the modern technology, but will stay true to the old school records as that is what I love and choose since over two decades.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Karina (@karinamusic / Zoo Project Ibiza, C&K, Decay Records)SC - https://soundcloud.com/karinamusicFB - https://www.facebook.com/karinadjmusicIG - https://www.instagram.com/karina_chaczhttps://music.beepd.co/card/karina█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#karina #zooprojectibiza #c&k #decayrecords #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

Thommie G (@thomas-gaarthuis / Magician on Duty, Sol Selectas, Monada) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 189████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!My favorite club is actually not really a club but it's the place where I've been hosting events since late 2015. It's a small venue in my hometown. Inside a greenhouse we dance the night away. It's like being in your own living room with your best friends.Regarding my favorite festival... this is a tough one. But I think I will go for Wildeburg, the (much smaller) equivalent to Fusion in terms of getting lost, decoration etc. The crowd is very nice, the location is magical and the whole production is just top notch. I've been part of it for some years now and it's always a highlight.▌II Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style?During the pandemic, I kind of stepped away from the more organic downtempo sound and explored the more electronic/deep house spectrum. As I like many styles of music, I don't like doing just one thing, I get bored easily. So I still keep creating a lot of stuff. There are a few EPs in the works, excited to share it soon.▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?I just got back from a lovely time in Berlin, playing in Klunkerkranich :-) We did a labelnight with the Magician of Duty family. It inspired me to work on this mix the week after I returned. The mix contains some of my upcoming releases, some edits I play in my sets, and tracks by other talented people.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Thommie G (@thomas-gaarthuis / Magician on Duty, Sol Selectas, Monada) SC - https://soundcloud.com/thomas-gaarthuis IG - https://www.instagram.com/thomasgaarthuis/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/ThommieGmusic/ SPOTIFY . https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UXTvRhVBnD36tvJKk32TuBC - https://thommieg.bandcamp.com█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#thommieg #magicianonduty #solselectas #monada #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

Kahl & Kaemena (@kahl-kaemena / fernab) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 184████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Wie waren die Vorbereitung für den Mix? Woher kamen die Inspirationen?Christian war für die Trackauswahl zuständig und entwickelte eine erste Vorstellung, welchen Klang unser Podcast bekommen sollte. Seine Idee war es, ein Set zu kreieren, welches einerseits von treibenden, deepen Baselines und andererseits von vielen warmen Sounds lebt. Der Podcast sollte somit ein Kontrast zum heutigen Sound in der Clubszene darstellen - welcher von uns oft als stetig härter, schneller und weniger deep wahrgenommen wird sowie mehr auf ekstatischen Abriss abzielt. Wir haben hierbei bewusst mehr Songs mit Vocals als üblich genutzt und auch ältere Songs ausgewählt, die für uns sinnbildlich für eine Zeit stehen, in der Social Media für Musiker:innen noch nicht diese immense Rolle eingenommen hatte und es in Clubs noch mehr Raum für tiefere, zartere Klänge gab.▌II Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert?Über die Jahre haben wir uns musikalisch mehr aus dem Downtempo herausbewegt und fühlen uns mittlerweile im Midtempo-Bereich am wohlsten. Dabei darf es gern auch ein bisschen progressiver als früher sein. Dennoch bleibt unsere Vorliebe für deepe, melancholisch anhauchende Klänge bestehen. Diese Note ist weiterhin nahezu in jedem Set von uns herauszuhören. Insbesondere der vermehrte Einsatz von Pads und Synthesizern hat unseren Sound seit der Pandemie verändert. Der Fokus liegt nicht mehr rein auf dem Klavier oder E-Piano, sondern auf Diversität. Wir denken, dass unser Stil somit noch ausgewogener klingt.▌III Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set?Matthew Herbert - It's Only (DJ Koze Remix) aus dem Jahr 2012 stellt für uns eine ganz besondere Nummer dar, die uns damals mehr oder minder das Tor in deepe, melodisch verspulte und dennoch tanzbare Musik geöffnet hat. Die Stimme von Dani Siciliano verzaubert uns auch über 10 Jahre später noch immer und versprüht eine Mischung aus Melancholie und Glanz vergangener Tage.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Kahl & Kaemena (@kahl-kaemena / fernab) SC - https://soundcloud.com/kahl-kaemenaIG - https://www.instagram.com/kahl_kaemenaFB - https://www.facebook.com/kahl.kaemena█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#kahl #Kaemena #fernab #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? My story began at the age of 16. I always wanted to make music, but this is the only thing that was forbidden to me. my parents took me to clubs from the age of 4 and I always asked to send me to a music school but they did not do it and I had to learn DJing by myself little by little
▌II Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work? first breakfast with tea and coffee and then I start working with music and during the break I have to train in the gym.
▌III How would you describe your style? crazy electronics =)))))))

▌I What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? Beer and Water and Tequila... Aaaaand what ever :)
▌II What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? Well, my father had a CD-burner in the mid-nineties. Somehow a bit later I had a huge music collection. We had a youth-dance around '97. A DJ was needed, I tried. Nobody danced - until I played "Backstreet Boys - Everybody". Everybody danced. I was hooked. This was followed by a ten year journey through Hiphop, Reggae, Dancehall, Jungle, DnB and finally led me to House and Techno, electronic music in general... Here I got stuck until today.
▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I did not at all, I forgot completely about the mix until now. Got a message and went into panic mode. Luckily I recorded some sets. So, let's start the time-machine.... Woooooosh, we are at Kater Blau now, it's a rainy Sunday afternoon in March or April. I arrived in Berlin just a few hours earlier, took the train in the morning from home... It was a loooot fun :)

▌I Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? Schwierige Frage, weil ich wirklich jeden einzelnen Track richtig gern mag, alle sind irgendwie besonders für mich in dem Set und haben ihren wohlverdienten Platz in dem Set. Aber ich würden wohl Evolutionary Ritual von Mayro wählen - ich liebe den Track weil er von so interessanten Sounds gespickt ist und so einen spacey Vibe hat, schön treibend ist und gleichzeitig so subtil daherkommt.
▌II Hattest du einen Mentor / eine Mentorin? Ja! Christian Hülshoff war sozusagen mein Mentor und hat mir den Weg zum Auflegen gezeigt und geebnet :).
▌III Kannst du eine positive Entwicklung durch die Pandemie beobachten? Im Zuge der Pandemie haben auch unbekannte Künstler*innen wie ich vermehrt die Chance bekommen zu zeigen was sie können. Vor der Pandemie, so nehme ich es wahr, haben es neue Gesichter kaum auf die Line-Ups geschafft. Schön, dass das nun anders ist :)

▌I How would you describe your style? I don't like being pigeonholed into a certain style. It all depends on where and when I play, but the most favorite genres are Indie Dance / Melodic Break / Dark Disco / Progressive Sounds
▌II What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!
I have two favorite clubs in Poland - The first is Ciało ( Wrocław / Breslau) - energetic and aware audience. The second is Tama (Poznań / Posen) - in my opinion one of the best Indie Dance bookings. Best festival? Definitely SUMMER CONTRAST (Rogalinko/PL) great bookings, but most of all preserving its uniqueness, despite the fact that it has turned into a large project from a small local festival. Beautiful place with wonderful people.
▌III Which artist influenced you a lot? Rebolledo - I had the pleasure of hearing him a few years ago at the Garbicz Festival and this year at Tama in Poznań.

Anna Aloka (@anna_aloka / Nova Era, Katerblau, Kureni) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 179 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? I started my journey in the music world at the age of 17 when I went on stage for the first time. It happened during a Vanilla Sky concert in Kyiv's Maydan Square, where I was in the fan-zone. Since then, my love for music has only grown stronger.
As a music journalist and photographer, I've had the privilege of attending many gigs and meeting big names like Linkin Park, Depeche Mode, RHCP, Placebo, and more.
I later ventured into social media, PR, and band management in the music industry. I organized festivals, parties, and lectures of all sizes in Ukraine. In 2019, I even got the opportunity to be part of the Sziget festival team.
It wasn't until the summer of 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, that I discovered my passion for DJing. I met my DJing teacher while working on another music project and became fascinated by the beautiful DJ equipment. Despite initial doubts from my team, I dove into learning DJing with enthusiasm.
And now, in 2023, I've already performed in 90 gigs. I began DJing during the pandemic and faced the challenges of war in my country. In the summer of 2022, I went on my first European tour, playing at famous venues like Katerblau and Klunkerkranich, and performing at festivals such as Bucht der Traumer and Zugvogel fest. All of this became possible thanks to the amazing community I've built around myself.
▌II How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I aim to showcase the most powerful music that currently captivates me, breaking the boundaries of what I "should" play. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about featuring the music of Ukrainian producers, so this set is brimming with incredible creations from my friends and other local creatives.
I dare say that if you turn up the volume on this mix, you might inadvertently start a mini festival.
▌III What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why! My favorite club is Kureni in Kyiv. It used to be an old restaurant specializing in Ukrainian cuisine. A few years ago, it underwent renovations and transformed into a stunning music venue. The main highlight of Kureni is its distinctive architecture, multiple levels, and its location in trees on the hills overlooking the Dnipro River. When you combine high-quality sound and a crowd of beautiful people, you truly experience the essence of Kureni.
In my opinion, the Bucht der Traumer festival in Germany is hands down my favorite festival experience. The picturesque location by the lake amidst the enchanting forest, combined with the captivating lighting and consistently incredible music across all stages, creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? My history with music started when I was 6 years old and I entered my musical school studying fortepiano. I graduated in 10 years, and since then music had always been a part of my journey. I stated Djing in 2010, and what at first was just a hobby, turned into a serious game for me in 2015 when I became a resident of Ukraine's most famous club - Ibiza Beach Club. I did warm-ups for many well-known Djs there (David Guetta, WhoMadeWho, Monolink, Black Coffee, CamelPhat, Artbat etc.) and performed in Berlin, London, New York soon after.
▌II What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? Water.
▌III What’s your favorite food? I love healthy food, my favourite is probably Avocado Toast with Salmon. But I do enjoy pizza too!

▌I Welche Künstler:in hat dich maßgeblich geprägt? Ich denke das ist ein Mix aus vielen verschiedenen KünstlerInnen der letzten 20 Jahre. Aber natürlich haben mich gerade die Artists aus dem Katerholzig/KaterBlau sehr geprägt und ispririeren mich auch noch heute immer wieder aufs neue.
▌II Hast du etwas Positives aus der Corona-Zeit ziehen können? In der Zeit als die Clubs durch den Lockdown geschlossen hatten, habe ich mit dem produzieren begonnen. Das hätte ich wohl nicht so fokusiert, wenn es diesen Break nicht gegeben hätte. Ich hatte dadurch einfach mehr Zeit und die Motivation, da auflegen ja nicht mehr möglich war, ich aber unbedingt Musik machen wollte.
▌III Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? Melodisch, Deep, Technoid - und mit dem "Rhytmus, bei dem man mit muss" :-)

▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I wanted to give the listener a musical summary of my work as a producer. I just love working on new music in the studio, it's a kind of therapy for me. But I also like to be a DJ, that there is now a podcast only with my own tracks was in the end a little coincidence. But it´s 100% me and i think it couldn't be more personal.
▌II Which tracks marks a highlight in your set? It's one of those things with liking..., I love all the tracks but at the same time I get annoyed with them sometimes. But my little highlight is the second track, „Thorn“. I did that with my close friend Ronny (Mollono.Bass) under our alias Green Lake Project. I love spending time with him and he's one of those people you just like to have around all day.
▌III Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work? This is how it usually works for me: Get up at 8 o'clock in the morning. How it really works is more like this... I start the night before to set the first alarm clock at 7:30. From then on it rings every 5 minutes until I finally fall out of my bed, of course totally annoyed, because it´s 8:10 allready . In this critical phase of the day, not even Iron Man would dare to address me. On the direct way to the espresso maker I then make my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth and as soon as I hear that the coffee is ready, I stand with the cup in hand ready for my morning liter of youth and inspiration. Depending on the day, I sit around 08:30 freshly dressed in the car on the way to the 3000Grad office or in the dirty T-shirt from the day before in my studio. Around 14:00 either the hunger or my dear girlfriend reminds me of my breakfast and after the second studio round, (around 18:00) i try to end my work. Except on days like today ;-) (22:19) In the evening I like to go for long walks with my girlfriend and enjoy the time with her. 00:00 I lie in bed with remorse, because I have forgotten the last half hour … absolutely lost in social media.

Lemonella (@lemonella / && / Plant Poetry) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 175████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?I think preparation begins, subconsciously, the moment I agree to make a mix. Once that seed is planted in the soil of my mind, ideas swirl and I am sensing into which direction I want to go right up until I record it, and hopefully the fruit turns out ripe and sweet! I decided to go for a more upbeat dance mix, to usher in the summer. I am, as always, inspired by many genres and timelines - right now I'm loving everything from 'celestial' house, minimal, breakbeat, indie, and included lot of tracks from South Africa/with African rhythms. As a poet, I am a sucker for lyrics. Also, it doesn't matter if a track was released yesterday or 10 years ago, if I feel it in my soul its always current to me.▌II How would you describe your style?Eclectic, poetic, fun and deep.▌III How do you make use of technology?Someone once said to me, 'technology is like an angel'. I interpreted that as, machines can can be, in a poetic way of thinking, animated by the energy with which you go about using them. You 'feed' them energy, and that energy amplifies. I once had a silly but profound moment with my musical setup during a period when I felt disconnected from being a DJ and all the ego and stereotypes, and didn't feel like touching the cdjs much. Late one night I turned them on, and just watched them glowing back at me, and that kind of melted my heart, as if it were some sort of spaceship, and I thought 'right okay, what is my spaceship about, what frequency do I want to transmit?' And the answer came immediately, that it is all about love and connection. Reminds me now of a wonderful track by New Jackson... 'put the love in it.'█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Lemonella (@lemonella / && / Plant Poetry)SC - https://soundcloud.com/lemonellaIG - https://www.instagram.com/lemonella_musicSPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/artist/5U408XqGkgn2azH0ka7M2FFB - https://www.facebook.com/lemonellamusic█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#lemonella #&& #plantpoetry #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave
Athlete Wippet (@athlete-whippet / Toy Tonics) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 174████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?I got into music through the guitar which tbh my parents kind of made me play as a child. It took until I was about 12 or so that I really got into it I think. i started playing in bands, mostly rock throughout my teenager years and then all sorts of other stuff once I got out of school. Production came next when I got into blending some of that organic instrumental music I'd been making with electronics and realised I could record things my self and experiment with it. I'd actually say DJing was the last piece of the puzzle for me, which I'm really glad I got into. It did make me connect with music in a new way, like an additional layer. I do love dedicating some of my time now to that way of engaging with other people's music now, on top of making my own.▌II What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!If we focus on Berlin, then I'd say in summer it's Heideglühen and in winter it's Zur Klappe! Heideglühen just do really well with bringing on the right sounds for a sunny afternoon that can or cannot go into a long night - and the water sprinklers above the dance floor are priceless. Zur Klappe is tiny and dingy, which I love in winter, and makes for a perfect personal and unpretentious night out.▌III Welche Künstler:in hat dich maßgeblich geprägt?Overall and all things considered that'll be David Bowie for me and I'd given you the same answer if you'd asked me at any point over the last 15 years I reckon.

Dario Klein (@darioklein / Bar 25 / Heimlich / Rebellion der Träumer) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 171████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs?Am liebsten verbinde ich analog und digital, um das Beste aus beiden Welten zu holen. Da kann es im Studio gerne schonmal passieren, dass ich akustische Instrumente durch den Modular jage und die Aufnahme danach am Computer komplett in Einzelteile zerlege. Dadurch kann sich gerne auch mal die komplette Ästhetik eines Klangs verändern. Alles kann - nichts muss! Mal so, mal so. Ich finde, es ist wichtig da eine gewisse Offenheit mitzubringen, um immer wieder neue Klangwelten zu eröffnen.▌II Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set?Eine absolute Premiere ist für mich das erste Stück im Set namens "Bleep". Ich spiele den Song zum ersten Mal und es ist auch der allererste Track, der in meinem neuen Studio in Köln entstanden ist. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, den Track live zu spielen!▌III Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen?Ich spiele Gitarre, seitdem ich fünf bin aber hab mit dem Auflegen erst mit Anfang 20 angefangen. Damals war ich für ein Jahr in Istanbul und brauchte etwas Kohle, also haben mich Freunde gefragt, ob ich auf ihren Veranstaltungen spielen möchte. Von da aus ging es dann recht schnell in Läden wie Suma Beach, Kloster oder auch der Kasette weiter. Die Clubs gibt es zwar alle nicht mehr, aber die Erinnerungen bleiben. Vor allem an die Acid Sundays am schwarzen Meer denke ich ganz gerne zurück.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Dario Klein (@darioklein / Bar 25 / Heimlich / Rebellion der Träumer) SC - https://soundcloud.com/dariokleinFB - https://www.facebook.com/dariokleinliveIG - https://www.instagram.com/dariokleinlive/SP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7y74TX2TQFdSQWpVTjJviqWWW - http://darioklein.com/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#darioklein #bar25 #heimlich #rebellionderträumer #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

Woher kamen die Inspirationen?Noch bevor ich DJ wurde, gab es eine Handvoll Tracks, die ich gerne gehört habe, wenn ich glücklich oder traurig war oder wenn ich träumen wollte. Diese Lieder habe ich vor zwei Jahren zusammen gemischt und nie veröffentlicht, weil ich die Geschichte, die sie erzählten, sehr intim fand. Als der Podcast für United We Stream anstand, habe ich gespürt, dass es endlich an der Zeit ist, dieses Set zu teilen, zumindest teilweise. Ich habe es mit meinen neueren Lieblingsliedern ergänzt und das ist daraus geworden. Ich hoffe, die Musik begleitet euch und gibt euch so viel Kraft und Liebe wie mir.▌II Wie sieht ein normaler Tag bei dir aus? Von deiner Morgenroutine, Arbeit und deinem Abend?Ich liebe es mir morgens Zeit zu nehmen und Kaffee oder Tee im Bett zu trinken. Wenn ich lieber alleine sein möchte, dann verbringe ich meinen Tag am liebsten damit spazieren zu gehen, Podcast zu hören und zu malen. Die Arbeit wird dazwischen gelegt. Meinen Tag lasse ich am liebsten mit Yoga und einem Buch ausklingen.▌III What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club?Gin Tonic <3 oder Apfelsaftschorle.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Lara Schick (@lara-schick / Walinkula / Campus Festival Konstanz) SC - https://soundcloud.com/lara-schickIG - https://www.instagram.com/laraschickdj/FB - https://www.facebook.com/LaraSchickDJ/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#laraschick #walinkula #campusfestivalkonstanz #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

Luca Bigote (@iambigote / Tiella Sound / LYL Radio) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 155████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?I grew up in a family not very connected to music, but at some point that changed when my brother Benny started deejaying and introduced me to a lot of alternative music of the time, especially so called "French-Touch" house music.▌II How would you describe your style?Eclectic and open-minded. Fortunately, over the years I have come into contact with music of different genres and with artists involved in very different situations. I can easily select from ambient to techno, via house and organic grooves, and I can show my 'fluid' approach especially during DJ sets lasting several hours.As Donato Dozzy said: "How I play as DJ is always variable. It all depends on the space and the people". I agree with this very much, it sums it all up pretty well.▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?When I started thinking about what to propose during this mix, I immediately felt the urge to propose something that would take me to one of those nights when I play peak-time in some dark, smoky, sweaty club, during that hour when I like to push a little harder than usual.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Luca Bigote (@iambigote / Tiella Sound / LYL Radio) SC - https://soundcloud.com/iambigoteIG - https://www.instagram.com/luca_bigoteFB - https://www.facebook.com/luca.bigote█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#lucabigote #tiellasound #lylradio #noqueue #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

Emorine (@emorine / Wannabe A Frog Records / Klunkerkranich) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 153████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Which tracks marks a highlight in your set?This is the last track I produced, I worked a lot on it these last weeks. That's why I'm especially happy to have been able to include it in this set. It is now unreleased because it will be part of my EP in the making.▌II What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club?Depends of the gig and the mood, but mainly beer, water and ginger shots.▌III Which artist influenced you a lot?There is not only one, there are many who inspire me by their musical universe, offbeat and unbridled. I like to be surprised and not knowing where the music will take me. Lately I like a lot Jimi Jules, Cioz and O/Y.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Emorine (@emorine / Wannabe A Frog Records / Klunkerkranich) SC - https://soundcloud.com/emorineFB - https://www.facebook.com/emorinepierre/?fref=tsIG - https://www.instagram.com/emorine.music/BP - https://www.beatport.com/artist/emorine/567837SP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3lYDFjAAIuD3rL04ZgHgnRRA - https://ra.co/dj/emorine█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#emorine #wannabeafrogrecords #klunkerkranich #noqueue #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave
Eleonora (@eleonorazaripovamusic / beanape / Katermukke) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 152████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?It all started with "Nine Inch Nails - Copy Of A", which not even end up in the set after all. However the song set the bpm and the mood :) Now you can imagine, all of it is very very fast and varies in genres and moods from major to minor etc. That was fun! ▌II Which tracks marks a highlight in your set?Röyksopp - What Else Is There (Trentemøller Remix). If not for this song, I might would not have ended up in electronic music or would be coming there way later. This piece of music is pretty old but yet the first one I heard as a child that blew my mind (there were more songs of course, but this definitely moved me to the direction "I want to do THIS!"). Otherwise, all tracks are selected carefully and touch my deepest feelings. If I'll start talking about each of them, this answer will turn to a very long book :)▌III Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona?Yes, this finally gave me the time to pick up on my learnings and understanding what is missing in my own music productions, own development. Not sure when it would have come if not the break. Life is always busy, it is very easy to lose the direction or thoughtlessly exist in happenings.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Eleonora (@eleonorazaripovamusic / beanape / Katermukke) SP - https://open.spotify.com/artist/2VErfOOcXOkiHhc823g50rBC - https://eleonorazaripova.bandcamp.com/BP - https://www.beatport.com/artist/eleonora/23482FB - https://www.facebook.com/eleonorazaripovamusicSC - https://soundcloud.com/eleonorazaripovamusic█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#eleonora #beanape #katermukke #noqueue #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave
Amo (@itsmeamo / Wuza / Euforiq) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 151████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona?A few weeks before the pandemic lockdown, I got back from a tour in Mexico and had already made arrangements to move from Oslo to Berlin with my girlfriend. At that time, the whole topic of "Coronavirus" was something I didn't even take seriously until I started seeing emails from all the booking managers, one club after the other, canceling all their events. With no plan of getting a full-time "normal" job, I was shocked and a bit paralyzed at first. I was able to get a job and could feel a bit more relaxed, but there was of course something missing. My fingers were itching to play and I started recording countless mixes and also got back to working on producing music in Ableton. This of course gave me some form of stimulation, but the thought of not knowing how long it would be until my next gig or even just going to a club was pure torture. What I did realize after a few months was that I was able to really relax and find some kind of inner calmness, something which was pretty hard considering my very hectic life before that. I also had time to get to know the beautiful city of Berlin in a way I'm sure I would never be able to if circumstances were different. It also gave me a lot of time to put focus on other different projects, music collectives, and labels that I'm currently very much in love with. Such as United We Stream! I've followed your project since the beginning and I am more than thrilled to finally be a part of this!▌II Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style?Most of the people that have been with me for some time, know that I liked to play pretty versatile sets. Considering my love for most genres, I tried not to make it too experimental and "artsy", but I always found it fun to surprise the audience with something. Just to hit them with something surprising and different. Thinking back to before the pandemic. I definitely enjoyed playing around back home in Norway, but not so much in other countries. I believe my focus was to give the audience something more consistent since I was probably not as comfortable doing that with people in other places in the world, as much as I would with familiar faces that I would see on almost a weekly basis in clubs around Norway. Now, I find myself aiming to give people an experience that goes along with the music that I myself want to produce. Also, I want to have a style that people can relate to more and expect from me at most of the shows that I get booked to. I'm not gonna lie, you will surely find me doing something playful and out of the ordinary sometimes somewhere. Just for old times sake!█████████████████████████████████████████████████ Amo (@itsmeamo / Wuza / Euforiq) SC - https://soundcloud.com/itsmeamoFB - https://www.facebook.com/amomusic.no/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/amomusic_no/█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#amo #wuza #euforiq #noqueue #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave

BOCK & FUCHS (@bockundfuchs / TRAUM / gART.n) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 149████████████████████████████████████████████████▌I Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen?Ich komme aus einer ziemlichen musikalischen Familie. Ich erinnere mich, dass ich seit dem ich 8 war unbedingt Schlagzeug spielen wollte. Das haben meine Eltern dann erstmal unterbunden und ich musste die "Musik-Theorie" am Keyboard lernen. Mit 11 hab ich dann Schlagzeug Unterricht bekommen und das auch für gut 15 Jahre sehr intensiv gespielt. Ich hatte dann eine Band mit der ich viel unterwegs war. Dort hab ich auch die Aufnahmen gemacht und immer mal wieder elektronische Parts eingebaut, darüber kam ich dann zu Ableton, Synthesizern und der elektronischen Welt. Letztentlich hat mich House, Techno und so weiter nicht mehr losgelassen und ich hab mich immer weiter reinvertieft.▌II Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert?Über die letzten Jahre auf jeden Fall immer wieder und das find ich auch ziemlich gut! Es besteht ja sonst die Gefahr, dass es langweilig wird ;) Am meisten hat sich glaube ich mein Produktionsprozess geändert, nachdem ich "raus aus der Box" also hin zu analogen Geräten weg vom Laptop gegangen bin. Das ist einfach viel spielerischer und der Sound verändert sich stark. Was ich auch immer versuche ist, dass ich die "perfekten" Computer Sounds aus der Dose, die jede Zählzeit treffen und fast immer gleich klingen, zu verändern und zu verfremden. Letztendlich werden sie dadurch unperfekter und menschlicher. Und das macht meiner Meinung nach einen runden und interessanten Sound aus!▌III Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set?Der erste Track ist für mich besonders. Grund dafür ist, dass ich ihn noch nie live gespielt habe und auch noch nie in einem Set hatte (er hat bisher nichtmal einen Namen). Der Track ist letzte Woche fertig geworden und ich wollte ihn unbedingt in den Podcast reinnehmen. Normalerweise spiel ich einen Track erst ein paar Mal im Club bevor er rausgeht, aber den wollte ich einfach mal mit reinnehmen. Er ist auf jeden Fall kein klassischer Intro-Track, da er direkt ziemlich nach vorne geht. Mit der fetten Snare eher ein bisschen Disco/Indie Dance, was ich ganz nice finde.█████████████████████████████████████████████████ BOCK & FUCHS (@bockundfuchs / TRAUM / gART.n) SC - https://soundcloud.com/bockundfuchsIG - https://www.instagram.com/bockfuchs/BP - https://www.beatport.com/artist/bock-and-fuchs/594218█ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global)FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/█████████████████████████████████████████████████ HASHTAGS#bock&fuchs #traum #gart.n #noqueue #accessallareas #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave
Nelken (@nelken / Klunkerkranich) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 148 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? I've been a collector and supplier of music to my friends before I was a DJ. Always on the lookout for new sound. I basically stumbled into DJing. It started when I worked as a barkeeper and put on my music and got encouraged by the feedback. The first 6 month of DJing I used itunes and an ipod as source, before shifting over to i guess more professional tools. But it kinda teached me to listen, if that makes sense.
▌II Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona? I learned a lot about my self. I guess a crisis will do that to you. It stripes away all the distractions you build up over time.
▌III How would you describe your style? I guess "deep afro/organic house".

Ale Castro (@alecastromusic / Love & Loops Records / Heat Up Music / Esuoh) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 147 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work? Hello everyone! Well, I have recently become a father so my routine has changed remarkably in a very short time, but basically 70% of my day is focused on music. Listening to demos for my labels, discovering new music for my sets, producing new songs (or at least trying to finish the ones I started earlier), running the labels' schedule of podcasts & radio shows, and during the pandemic between various alternative jobs ( and not very satisfactory) that I did to survive I decided to fulfill my dream of having my own vinyl store, which although it is online also demands a lot of time, and of course go on tour through clubs and festivals to play music, which without a doubt It is the reward for all the sacrifice and dedication mentioned above. The other 30% of my day is now spent spending time with my baby, eating and sleeping (although with very little success hehe)
▌II What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why! This is an easy question to answer: Sisyphos in Berlin! Why?: I am from Argentina, where parties usually last 6 hours, and very rarely in events in the afternoon plus the evening you can have 12 hours of partying, after that if you want to continue you have to go to an after party and In general, most of the time the music and the sound system are not so good, and if you are one of the brave ones who wants to continue the party, you have to go to the after of the after, and as expected, the situation only gets worse. In addition to the wild party style from Friday to Monday morning that guarantees you can go anytime and have fun, it also has all the amenities so you can get stuck in that rave bubble without missing a thing, the pizza is very tasty and ideal to recover a little energy after many hours of dancing, the kiosk can provide everything you forgot at home, and the whole team is very funny, we have shared so many laughs & good moments in there! Also the fact that the line ups are somehow secret until you arrive there and the booking team is not only focused on big names like other Clubs gives you the possibility to discover many artists that maybe are not very popular but are playing amazing music! I have discovered many DJ's and Producers that were totally off my radar and I have even been able to create many friendships that have lasted over time. I think it goes without saying that the Wintergarten it's my favorite place to play.
▌III What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? I do love Mezcal <3 And if i am in Germany, i love to drink Spezi! They dont have that magical & perfect drink in many sides of the world!

▌I Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? Kommt ehrlich gesagt immer ganz darauf an, auf was für einer Party ich gerade spiele. Es gibt auf jeden Fall einige Tracks die ich gerne immer mal wieder spiele wenn es passt.
▌II Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? Jetzt gerade würde ich sagen, eine gute Mischung aus House, Italo, Early Tech House und ein bisschen Trance zwischendurch. Nicht zu verspielt dafür groovig, energetisch aber trotzdem nicht zu hart.
▌III What’s your favorite food? Pizza & Pasta.

AIEMELLYVEN aka Eric Brwn (@rugsound @sounddocktrine / RUG369) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 145 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Wie bist du zur Musik bzw. zum Auflegen gekommen? Ich war 11 Jahre Profi Basketball spieler. In diesen Jahren ist mir klar geworden was ich wirklich wollte und meine wahre Leidenschaft ist. Die Kreation und Wiedergabe von Musik. Die Menschen ein Gefühl zu geben welches sie lieben und sich darin wohl fühlen.
▌II Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? In den letzten 7 Jahren habe ich mich sehr entwickelt bzgl Genre und Stile. Grundsätzlich komme ich aus der Hip Hop Welt und fing da schon an Tracks zu mixen und samples zu spielen. Das gleiche Prinzip ist es auch im elektronischen Bereich meiner Musik. Da ich sehr auf Groovy'ge und drums lastige moods fixiert bin, könnte man es Richtung Warehouse sehen. Meine Track Auswahl bedeutet einen konstanten Drive zu haben. Mit meinem Alias AIEMELLYVEN habe ich mein alter ego erweckt um mich peripher auch in der Warehouse zu begehen. Meine DJ Karriere basiert sich auf Eric Brwn. Detroit Techno und Warehouse.
▌III Wie waren die Vorbereitung für den Mix? Woher kamen die Inspirationen? Als ich durch das Katalog durchgegangen bin ist mir aufgefallen dass ich einen anderen und untypischen Sound heraus holen möchte. Somit dachte ich mir eine Trackauswahl aus, wo Drums und Percussions in Vordergrund stehen, zu mindest für meine Ohren und Wahrnehmung. Man stellt sich vor, in einem Untergrund Club in NYC, Freitag Abend, orangenes Strobo Licht, der Nebel schießt sein Kontingent aus und nun dazu Mein mix. So entstehen mein Sets.

DJ Zurückbleiben Bitte (@dj-zurueckbleiben-bitte / Un:seen) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 143 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I wasn't initially sure what direction to take with this mix. For podcasts or radio I often like to do something a bit different, but this time I wanted to make a mix that was a good representation of my current taste and style. All the tracks in this mix are ones I've found in the last 3 months and many I have already played out at clubs or festivals. There's quite a few different genres mixed in – I always like to mix genres – and a couple of my absolute favourite bangers. I guess on reflection this podcast is almost like a memory of the wild summer of 2022!
▌II How would you describe your style? I kind of hate answering this question (which is maybe why I picked it?). I struggle to define my style by genre because I like to play a lot of different things (Minimal, Garage, Breakbeat, House, Progressive, Trance, etc). I think the things that I look for in music aren't related directly to genre – I tend to go for tracks that are upbeat and playful, and have a good driving rhythm and bass. Unless you want me to describe my fashion style – that's much easier – purple 90s sport jackets!
▌III What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? I try not to drink toooo much... but my fav would probably have to be Sekt Maracuja!

Ansonica (@ansonicamusic / Habitat) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 142 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? I have been growing up in Italy with spaghetti and disco music. My parents were obsessed with Italo disco and they influenced me very much since I was a kid. I have been in the clubbing scene since a very young age, working as DJ host in central Italy, always in the background, always admiring with eyes (and ears) wide open the DJs and hoping one day I could be one of them. We did not have many female DJs back then and it was really hard to be taken seriously. This made me feel very insecure and hesitant, so despite being very passionate about music and djing I have only played for myself or for small group of friends and for long time I have never dared to play for a bigger public . In 2015 I moved to Berlin and after a few years focused on building confidence, improving my knowledge and skills I have finally decided to put myself out there, creating my own music style fully shaped on my taste and personality and start playing, with a clear vision of making disco, in all its different declinations, inclusive and exciting again, bringing the dancers on a fresh, energetic, fun and always a “little bit italian” journey.
▌II Did you have a mentor? My mentor and role model has always been Claudio Coccoluto. He was a good friend of mine too and I have been inspired by him very much especially on a personal level. Unfortunately he passed away before he could see me playing but I like thinking that he helped me bringing all my confidence out and believing that with passion, focus, hunger and hard work we can overcome our fears and make our dreams come true.
▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I prepared this mix selecting tracks from my favorite Italian producers, thinking about taking you on a trip around Italy. Beautiful and joyful, sometimes rough and loud, is the country of contradictions, where everything non-sense will somehow make sense eventually, where your brain gets totally confused and lost but certainly your heart will be always warmed up and you will never feel alone.

Sheila (@sheila_wn / Südpol Hamburg) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 141 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? Seit ich denken kann habe ich mich für Musik begeistert, zunächst durch Singen, später dann ebenfalls durch Klavier spielen. Mit den Jahren habe ich allerdings elektronische Musik immer mehr für mich entdeckt, über Jungle und Drum n Bass, Dubstep und Psytrance, bis ich schließlich bei Techno/Techhouse/House geblieben bin. Durch viele meiner begabten Freund*innen kam ich dann in der Pandemie an die Decks. Ich habe zunächst nur aus spaß angefangen aufzulegen, dann jedoch schnell gemerkt, dass sich daraus eine Leidenschaft entwickelt hat.
▌II Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club? Am liebsten trinke ich den Hausdrink aus dem Südpol - einen "golden Schröder", spiele ich nicht im Südpol habe ich allerdings immer einen Sekt-Mate an meiner Seite! Schnaps darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen, da sind meine go-to Schnäpse Sambuca, oder Pfeffi -Wodka
▌III Hattest du einen Mentor / eine Mentorin? Ja, es gibt sehr wichtige Menschen in meinem Leben, welche mir das Auflegen gezeigt, haben. Von ihnen kam die Inspiration und der Support. Ihnen habe ich sehr viel zu verdanken- künstlerisch und menschlich! Einen Track von ihnen findet ihr auch im Set!

▌I Was ist dein Lieblingsgericht / Essen? I love Italian food! Pizza, pasta…. I could eat that every day.
▌II What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? I always start with water and beer… with the time I switch to Wodka Bull or Gin Tonic
▌III Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? Both of my parents were musicians in a band, so I got in contact with music very early. I started producing at age 16 and came to electronic music at 21- djing was not interesting for me back then. That just came after releasing on renomated labels.

▌I Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? I actually released my first EP Drum Love during the pandemic, but I remember really needing to create some warm and sunny vibes, while looking through my window at the beautiful grey Berlin winter sky!!! Now I try to transcribe those warm percussive vibes to the dancefloor :)

▌I Did you have a mentor? We didn't grow up in the same city and had very different mentors in the game. For Mikael it is the legendary danish DJ/Producer/label owner/party starter Kenneth Bager who is truly an icon in the Danish music business as well as abroad on particularly Ibiza. He helped out with a lot of questions and specifically with regards to producing music and arranging tracks for the dance floor. Fun fact: Kenneth was in the DJ Mag Top 100 the first time it was created back in 1993.
For Jens it was was Rene Christensen better known as Noir who was a great guide both in the how to DJing as well as giving out production tips already back in 2005.
Safe to say we are very privileged to have some very wise mentors and we pay back many times to the local artists in Denmark and sometimes even abroad with questions in our DM in Instagram.
▌II Which artist influenced you a lot? A lot of inspiration comes from Maceo Plex from the earlier times with his kind of indie dance/disco style with immaculate baselines. Patrice Bäumel with his loopy atmospheric sound designs.
▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? This mix was designed differently than most our dj mixes because it was designed with a starting track and then we went into melodic keys that matched throughout the set in the keys of Em, Gm, Bm. This also means that it isn't the "usual" lots of Track ID's to make it new and interesting. Because of last few years it means that so much music has not been played out so we do like to honor some of them by ensuring we don't forget these productions.

Shimanski (@shimanski030 / Disco Bizarre) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 134 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? Musik hat mich vom Kindesalter an geprägt. Mein Vater war/ist Musiker in einer Ostrock Band und meine Mutter war Tänzerin. Wir hatten zu Hause einen Plattenspieler, der ständig in Betrieb war. Hits von "Earth, Wind and Fire" oder "Michael Jackson" gehörten zur Tagesordnung. Als ich dann anfing die Berliner Clubszene kennenzulernen, wurde mir ganz schnell klar, dass ich selber auflegen möchte. Eine eigene Dynamik für die Crowd zu schaffen und Musik zu spielen, die ich liebe, war ein Traum für mich. Und somit kaufte ich meinen ersten Traktor Controler, welcher nach ein paar Jahren gegen CDJ´s und Plattenspieler ausgetauscht wurde.
▌II Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club? Sekt auf Eis.
▌III Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? In meinen DJ Sets vereine ich verschiedene Elemente aus klassischem Disco, Italo, NuDisco und Wave.

▌I What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? I love champagne, I could drink it in my sleep.
▌II Did you have a mentor? Peggy Gou has definitely been a mama to me and supported me a lot in my come-up, I've been very grateful to have been selected by her for gigs, even when nobody else would really book me.
▌III How would you describe your style? My sound is everything. It's Disco, it's House, it's Darker, it's Harder - I strive to surprise that every time you hear me, you don't quite know what to expect, but the basis of transmission of love through my music will always be there.

▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I put together this mix purely with the dancers and club floor in mind, it's big energy, big melodies, big feels. I want to sweat and move and shake, feel the rush of adrenaline and euphoria in unison, forget everything and be with you. An ode to my love of the rave.
▌II Which tracks marks a highlight in your set? There's a new, unreleased tune of mine in there, which I'm excited to have heard in the context of the mix. My favourite moment when performing is sharing my own records and seeing people connect with them. Testing things I make in the club informs the music I make so much, I noticed the difference during the lockdowns and absence of parties and festivals since 2020, the tunes I made had a very different tone. Now that we are able to dance together again, I'm feeling the essence of the doof very much and my output is turning to these sounds again. It brings me a lot of joy.
▌III Is there some new things you learned in the last while? Did you find more inputs or new topics to focus on? I've been focusing a lot on my live show the last couple of years. I had the pleasure to perform it in Berlin, Leipzig and Amsterdam before the pandemic hit and I'm happy to say now gigs are flowing back in and I'm getting to perform live again. There was a lot to learn, the best ways to incorporate hardware, create a visual component to make it more immersive, ways to make the setlist flexible so I can perform a little like djing and choose tracks depending on the crowd and setting. I'm very much in love with this extra way of sharing music with people, I'm super excited to see where it leads.

Hanna Baertig (@hannabaertig / Aller Ende Anfang) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 130 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Wie waren die Vorbereitung für den Mix? Woher kamen die Inspirationen? Für diesen Podcast hab mich in der Vorbereitung ein bisschen selbst gechallenged, haha, und versucht, all das, was ich für eine Listening-Session, aber auch im Club spielen würde, im Prinzip also meine komplette Stil-Bandbreite, in einem Mix zu vereinen. Herausgekommen ist eine energetische Mischung aus 4tothefloor-Beats, melancholisch melodischen Sounds und Breaks, die aufeinander aufbauen oder sich kontrastieren und quasi kleine Atempausen in between zulassen. Mir ist die Dramaturgie in meinen Recordings und Club-Sets sehr wichtig und so inspirieren mich gerade vor allem Künstler*innen, die es schaffen, die unterschiedlichsten Tracks dramaturgisch so zusammenzubringen, als würden sie zusammengehören. Das sind zum Beispiel Djrum und Marie Montexier.
▌II Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? Auf jeden Fall CZ3000 Dub von Skee Mask. Irgendwie findet sich seit geraumer Zeit in quasi jedem meiner Podcasts ein Track von ihm wieder, ich weiß nicht, ich liebe eigentlich alles, was er produziert, haha. Der Track markiert für mich den "heimlichen Höhepunkt" des Podcasts und lässt jedes mal durch seinen glückseligen und gleichzeitig aber auch leicht melancholisch und wehmütig anmutenden Charakter mein Herz hüpfen. Einfach so ein tolles Stück Musik!
▌III Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? Als Schülerin der 10ten Klasse stand ich noch auf Schul-Partys in meinem kleinen Heimatstädtchen in Südbrandenburg auf dem Dancefloor und fand alles, was irgendwie elektronisch klang, scheiße. Kurze Zeit später hab ich dann von einem damaligen Freund gezeigt bekommen, wie man zwei Fader und zwei Jogwheels bedient und hab von da an selbst auf fast jeder dieser Schul-Partys vor allem 80er und 90er aufgelegt und mir dann Beatmatching selbst beigebracht. Mit Freunden hatte ich damals auch schon eine Crew, mit der wir in unserer Stadt jährlich ein Festival und unzählige Parties geschmissen haben. Da konnte ich dann immer ganz viel üben. Irgendwann in dieser Zeit kam dann das Feel Festival in unmittelbare Nähe meiner Heimatstadt und ich dachte - elektronische Musik - das ist eigentlich doch ganz cool! Das Auflegen begleitet mich also eigentlich schon seit ich 15 bin.

▌I Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? Ja ich denke in diesen fast 30 Jahren hat sich meine Art und Weise schon mehrmals geandert da sich die Technologie sehr schnel nach vorne bewegt . Musikalisch war ich schon immer sehr offen . Ich spiele gerne verschieden Genres und probiere auch gerne mal etwas anderes aus.
▌II Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? Ich verwende sehr gerne neue Technologien jedoch bin ich sehr froh dass ich gewisse alte Angewohnheiten sehr pflege . Ich mag eigentlich beides.
▌III Wie sieht ein normaler Tag bei dir aus? Von deiner Morgenroutine, Arbeit und deinem Abend? Ich stehe meistens um 6 Uhr auf und arbeite 3 bis 4 stunden im Studio . Morgens geht das immer am besten wenn mein Kopf frisch ist. Um 10 Uhr bis Mittags gehe ich jeden Tag ins Fitness . Dieser Ausgleich brauch ich . Das mache ich allerdings erst seit 2 Jahren . Nach der Mittagspause erledige ich auch kleine Dinge im Studio . Abends triff ich mich gerne mit Freunden jedoch bin ich um 22 Uhr schon meistens platt. Diese gesunden Angewohnheiten werden natuerlich am Freitag sowie Sastag nicht gepflegt :-) .

▌I What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why! I would have to say Freerotation. Steevio and Suzy Bee are the creators of this festival and there dedication to quality and good vibes is felt through out. I played in 2019 and I have never seen or heard any other place with such masters of their art. To say the least, it was very inspiring and I hope they will have me back one day.
▌II How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I imagined a hot and sweaty afternoon dance on a beach which I guess I was a big wish for me, being that in my apartment there was 40 plus degrees and I had corona.
▌III What’s your favorite food? Japanese hands down. Mochi foever haha.

VRuno (@vrunomusic / Stil Vor Talent / Sounds Of Khemit / Akumandra) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 126 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? To be honest I think that a podcast is like a weekend, one is always willing to give the best of oneself and give with great love and happiness to the surprises that life gives us... The selection of music is obviously important, and for me it's a lot of fun since I have my roots as an artist in downtempo, hip hop, reggae, dub... and after 7 years living in Berlin I've already uploaded almost 30 bpm's hahaha, and that's life, like a podcast ! haha a beautiful journey that with its rhythm guides us towards beautiful unexpected surprises!
▌II What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? I am a music composer, a conservatory student, and my mother 'forced' me to study music since I was 5 years old hahahah, my two grandparents are musicians, my mother who accompanies me wherever I go (in her spirit) played the guitar and sang Chilean folklore, I have very good memories of her and the meetings in our house! I think one comes directly from there, from our inherited history, from the dreams of other generations, from the love driven to share, to give and to see people happy, cheerful... with bright eyes, and huge smiles... that It's my happiness... your happiness... that's where my spirit lives. That's why I love making music and music has always put me where I have to be...
▌III What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? "After more than 300 presentations that I have been lucky enough to play live, I can say that: - If it's hot and we're at the beach, I'm sure I'll go for mineral water and white wine. - if I'm in a small club and this is very funny, and it generates this hot atmosphere, like disco-sauna hahahah I NEED my 'skinny bitch', I love vodka, I love bubble water and I love lemon! perfect dose of vitamin C, hydration and energy! :D - at festivals they usually always give beers, which from experience I never accept more than 1, since we all know what happens after 5 beers and 2 hours glued to the stage, yes, I must say that one learns to control, but even I can see how my face changes from happy :) to stressed :( hahaha and you don't want that..."

Janna N (@janna_n / Klunkerkranich) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 125 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? Yes, absolutely. The pandemic was a kind of death and rebirth for me in many ways as an artist and creative. This was also largely because in 2020 I enrolled in my studies for Sound Engineering and Audio Production, which has completely transformed the way I hear and understand music. During the peak of the lockdown between 2020-2021 I felt quite defeated, like many, when I thought of my DJ career and future opportunities, and I surrendered to possible end of it. However, I was lucky in that I was still fully engrossed in music from other directions and I dove deep into understanding and doing sound design and mixing/mastering, as well as I became kind of obsessed with learning about the evolution of electronic music from 1900s avant grade to present day genres. I was producing a lot of experimental pieces and really got into deconstructing sounds and elements of dance music. I also got interested in how instruments and analog equipment are used in different ways across electronic music. All of this completely transformed who I am as an artist and of course, as a DJ. Previously, I was almost exclusively playing downtempo deep/organic house and now I have a thirst for more genres and more sounds. I would say I am still evolving because I am still learning and haven’t stopped exploring all that I mentioned above, but I am having so much more fun mixing and playing now, which I really didn’t think it could get more enjoyable. I would also say that there was a kind of overall change in the music I am attracted to and choose to play, because what I am looking for and desire to create is different. Previously my music was almost solely deep and exploratory, now it still is a bit of that but really I just crave music that makes me shake my ass and feel alive.
▌II How would you describe your style? I’m deeply interested in many genres, from dub, breaks and UK bass, to psytrance, electro, acid house, deep house, leftfield house, classic techno, trance, old school hardstyle and more. I enjoy playing with elements of them, having fun with the pitch, and and blending them all together to what becomes a predominantly mixed house sound. I’m attracted to progressive and hypnotic compositions, deep and dominant bass, acid sounds and acid baselines, rolling and polyrhythmic percussive sounds, and groovy, bubbly beats. I also enjoy balancing dark and dirty moments with light and funky. My movement between genres is fluid, but the overall mood I bring would be bounce and grind packaged in some kind of dreaminess. It brings me so much joy to create this for dancers.
▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? In general I have a daily routine of digging for, analyzing, reading about, and sorting my music, which is the largest chunk of preparation. I think consistency with that and really knowing your music is important for building better mixes. But for this one specifically, being honest I had a lot to manage recently which had me overall quite tense. I was doing all of the de-stress things but I still found my creative output suffering. So I went for a big dance, had fun and felt myself, then I sifted through my folders and made my selection. My main inspiration was the pure dance floor energy and all of the moods I feel through it.

▌I Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club? Eistee, Vodka Soda, Schnapps. Absolut kein Biertrinker :D
▌II Was ist dein Lieblings-Club oder Festival und warum? Mein Lieblingsclub ist der Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg, da er einfach einzigartig ist. Kleiner Laden, Weltklasse Acts die für einen schmalen Taler spielen und das in der doch oft zu poschen Hansestadt ist einfach unglaublich und vor alle unglaublich wichtig. Beste Festivalerfahrung wäre aktuell das Dekmantel. Super Produktion und immer mit Killer Lineup!
▌III Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? Definitiv Mr. Collins. Einer unserer neuesten Avidus Tracks. Eine von Fritz durch den Vocoder gesungene Liebeserklärung an Phil Collins' Werke mit 303 und Discovibes :)

Joyce Muniz (@joytoy / Exploited, Pets Recrodings) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 30 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? The pandemic definitely influenced my style, especially for the production of my second Album which is almost done. During the pandemic I finally found some time to listen to different genres, different sounds. I finally had the time to experiment with different sounds with no rush. I was able to try new things and also make some music that is not only dance floor orientated.
▌II What’s your favorite food? What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? I started djing at the age of 16. Back then it was mostly Drum & Bass, BreakBeat and Hip hop. A couple years later I became a resident at Dub Club. Dub Club was a very important Monday night party at flex. They booked all kinds of Headliners from all types of genres, because of that I had to play the warm up with the right sound. So I started to buy records from all different styles like House, Electro, Hip Hop and even Dub/Reggae. I am pretty sure that this experience influenced me as a DJ and producer.
▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I recorded this set basically on the road at the hotel in Croatia when I was playing at the Lighthouse Festival. The Festival is by the sea so the nature and the good summer vibes definitely influenced me for this mix. I didn't want to make a dark set, I tried to add tunes that have some kind of the night club vibes and also some day time party sunny positive feelings.

zodya (@zodya / Love Foundation / Orbiting Souls) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 122 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? As for most people I believe, music has always been there. I went to a music school for 7 years and finished a piano class there as a kid. Then I learned playing guitar in high school. Later in my student years I started going out and a friend had a shitty Reloop controller that I was playing around with at predrinks and afters. At some point I realised that I want to learn to play with records and that is when it all really started for me.
▌II What’s your favorite food? I think it might be pizza
▌III Is there some new things you learned in the last while? Did you find more inputs or new topics to focus on? I learned how valuable the social environment is, but also that it is important to take breaks and have quieter moments once in a while to recharge.

Soela (@soelaela / Dial, Sushitech, Kompakt) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 121 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why! I’m not really into festivals - but Waking Life in Portugal and Paradise City in Belgium seem really nice! As a favorite club, I will name Heideglühen and there are a lot of reasons. Music is the first one, of course, but among others, I can name safety and comfort, and I love that there's always a huge chance to meet someone you know.
▌II Which artist influenced you a lot? Lawrence influenced me a lot as a DJ. I can call him one of my favorite DJs.
▌III What are you missing the most since March 2020? My parents and my family in general. When the pandemic started, my tickets got canceled just 4 days before the flight. I had a tradition to go to Russia every year in March to celebrate my mother's birthday together with my family.
I didn't want to put anyone in danger and be a part of the problem. At the beginning of this year, I decided to buy the tickets and finally see the family. I was so happy. On the 24th of February, the war started and it's still going... I'm from a small city in Russia which is very close to Ukraine, the airport in my city is closed, but I also feel quite unsafe when thinking about the idea of going to Russia because of my anti-war and anti-government political opinion.

▌II Which artist influenced you a lot? We are influenced by many different artists. Both the pioneers of the industry as well as the many new talents who continue to disrupt and experiment with genres. Lately we have been listening a lot to Chaos In The CBD, Keinemusik, Nandu, Yør Kultura, etc.
▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? This mix is just a good selection of some really nice tracks that we have listened to a lot lately. Some who already was released and some who will be released in a near future.

Gray (@graydjgray / Globally Formulated) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 119 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? First, I listened to a few previous mixes on the United We Stream Soundcloud page. I wanted to create something unique to my style but also within the realm and style of the previous DJ's. Next, I went through my catalogue of music and put songs into sub-folders and of course added new releases as the time neared for my set to be due. My main inspiration was my love for music and the various styles of Techno I enjoy mixing. I stuck in some tracks that are very Afro influenced with the drum beats but for the most part stayed true to a mixture of melodic and industrial Techno. Unlike most of my sets this one does not feature a vocal mash-ups but there are some vocals that I enjoyed looping.
▌II How do you make use of technology? All of my sets for this platform and others are all done live. Once I press play, what happens is pure instincts and my knowledge of the tracks. So I would say my use of technology when it comes to creating mixes is very simple. Monitors, decks, headphones, and of course my USB with the tracks. I don't use any effects machines or production equipment, so I try to layer and do mash-ups to create build ups and give the mixes textures.
▌III What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why! My favourite club is Ushuaia...the open air vibe, the flyovers, it's a magical venue in a magical place. My favourite festival is Movement Festival. That really doesn't need an explanation but the organic nature of the festival and pure love for Techno music of the attendees makes it just enjoyable. It's about nothing but the music!

▌I Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club? Das Trendgetränk des Jahres 2022 ist Cuba Libre. Da bin ich natürlich voll dabei. Abgesehen davon: wenn ich privat mixe gibts Caipi aus der Dose und Durstlöscher Eistee Pfirsich und im Club trinke ich Discowasser.
▌II Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? Ich bin ein Nerd! natürlich probiere ich jede spannende neue Technik. Eine AI die alte Soul Tracks in Gesang, Drums, Gitarre und Bass aufteilen kann? So gut war Sampling noch nie! Trotzdem lege ich gern traditionell auf, das macht einfach mir am meisten Spaß.
▌III Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? Musik zum Tanzen - ich spiele House im weiteren Sinne - bestimmt würden es andere auch Techno oder Downtempo nennen. Allgemein möchte ich aber lieber frei von Genregrenzen spielen. Ich werde das Gefühl nicht los, dass es diese nur aus Vermarktungszwecken gibt. Apropos: Checkt unser Label SCHROTT Rec.!

Lask (@laskmusic / Divine Species) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 117 ████████████████████████████████████████████████
▌I Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? My approach definitely changed a lot since the pandemic. March 2020 was when I decided to transition from in the box production, to out of the box. I bought a Digitakt in July 2020 and since then have solely focused on creating music externally. Doing this has definitely changed my style a lot, the new music I'm writing is much less structured and more flow based. In saying that, my output of finished tracks has halted as its a whole new process, going from recording jams to then getting 30 minute jams in to 7minute tracks is difficult for my creative side. I'm still getting used to it after two years but I'm slowly figuring out the best workflow for myself.
▌II What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? I grew up attending music festivals as a kid, so I was introduced to electronic music at a very early age, probably 3 or 4 years old. Infected mushrooms converting vegetarians was one of my favourite tracks as a kid. I stopped going to festivals around 6 or 7 and then started again when I was thirteen onwards to now. Aside from that as a teen I spent a lot of time at abandoned warehouse raves which taught me a bit about hard techno, speed core and dnb. I think all of the experience I've had could have only eventuated in to me being a producer and DJ.
▌III What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? Aperol Spritz usually but if I feel like spicing it up I'll go for a Moscow Mule.

Martin Eyerer (@martineyerer / Kling Klong / Riverside Studios) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 029
🗯🗯 Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? 🗯🗯
Es gibt ein paar Faktoren, die ich mit den folgenden Worten beschreiben würde, die immer auf meinen Stil zutreffen: Energetisch, treibend, groovig, storytelling. Im laufe der Zeit habe ich aber immer wieder mal den Fokus mehr auf House, dann wieder mehr Techno oder auch mal organisch oder melodic gelegt. Wer mich kennt, weiss, dass ich innerhalb meines Rahmens mich immer zwischen diesen Richtungen bewegt habe. Nur das macht mir auch Spaß und motiviert mich, immer wieder aufs neue begeistert zu sein. Ich könnte mir nichts langweiligeres vorstellen, 35 Jahre den selben Stil durchzuziehen. Dennoch habe ich aber einen roten Faden, der immer da ist. Ich spreche hier von Dj sets, aber auch von Produktionen. Ich habe in meinem Leben sehr viele Collabs im Studio gemacht und auch das bringt automatisch verschiedene Einflüsse hervor.
🗯🗯 Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? 🗯🗯
Ich bin immer sehr offen für neue Technologien. Ich hatte schon gleich zu Beginn, als Deejaying elektronisch wurde, damals final scratch am start. Trotzdem habe ich eine Vinylsammlung mit über 20 000 Platten gehabt. Ich mag also beide Welten. Im Studio geht es mir genauso. Ich habe eine Amek Konsole, die schon im Besitz von Pink Floyd war und eine ganze Menge analog Gear und alte Synthies von Roland, Moog, Yamaha und viele andere. Ich nutze aber genauso oft neueste Plug ins und DSP Karten von Uaudio. Ich sage immer: "Das beste aus beiden Welten macht doch am meisten Spaß"
🗯🗯 Was ist dein Lieblings-Club oder Festival und warum? 🗯🗯 Diese Frage bekomme ich sehr oft gestellt und man kann sie wirklich nicht mit einer konkreten Antwort beantworten. Es gab in den letzten 30 jähren so viele gute parties und Events, auf denen ich auf der ganzen Welt spielen durfte, daß mir da einfach zu viele einfallen, die Highlights waren. Trotzdem muss sich sagen, dass es immer etwas sehr Besonderes ist, in Berlin aufzulegen. Ich spiele hier seit Jahren viel im Watergate und im Sisyphos. Hier kommen die Menschen aus der ganzen Welt zum Feiern und ich muss ja niemand hier etwas über den hedonistic life style und die besondere Athmo in den Berliner Clubs erzählen. Dann noch mit dem Taxi heimfahren zu können, macht das einfach immer perfekt.
Ich freue mich,dass wir nun endlich so langsam aus der Corona Zeit herauszugehen scheinen. Auch wenn wir mit der Ukraine schon das nächste schreckliche Ereignis haben. Ich hoffe sehr, dass es sich bei beiden schnell zum Besseren wendet und sehe den nächsten Dj sets mit physischen Menschen entgegen. trotzdem macht es auch sehr Spaß, bei UWS immer wieder dabei zu sein, denn auch hier macht es ja wie immer die Kombi...

🗯🗯 Did you have a mentor? 🗯🗯
My answer is Yes I do(present). I have 2 mentors as friends, First Mathew Jonson. I'm taking online course curated by him. it's called "Freedom Engine Academy". He was asking me like "Hey Koki you wanna join the course?" I didn't hesitate to join after I signed up it closed lol What a timing!! Second, Nathan Micay He always gave me an advice and gave me amazing feedback that makes me feel really motivated. They are my Sensei !!!!
🗯🗯 Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work? 🗯🗯
I make a latte (using hand press espresso machine) every day and I became more serious about coffee. No Coffee No Life. 4-5 cups of coffee I have pretty much.
🗯🗯 Is there positive developments you recognized during the pandemic? 🗯🗯
Yeah I had depression time before pandemic. It was really tough one. Before I became depress, I felt that it wasn't thing for me. Suddenly facing that I was completely lost. However I have amazing friends who were pulling me out the right place where I should be. It's my time to do share with my happiness to the friends or people who I know :)

Deckert (https://soundcloud.com/deggideckert) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 114
🗯🗯 Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? 🗯🗯
Absolut. Die erzwungene Auszeit hat mich dazu gebracht, mir viel mehr Zeit für Tracks und Experimente zu nehmen. Alles wurde musikalischer und ich habe weniger auf Spielbarkeit im Club als eher auf das geachtet, was emotional auch in neutraleren Lebenslagen funktioniert. Das macht die eigenen Kompostionen nun schwieriger zu mixen, wo die Partys wieder steigen, aber das war die Phase der ausgeprägten kreativen Selbstfindung absolut wert. Mein Liveact Deorbiting hat in der Pandemiezeit sogar ein Album geschrieben, das hätten wir in der regulären Releasemühle niemals geschafft!
🗯🗯 Hast du in der letzten Zeit etwas Neues gelernt? Neues Wissen, andere Inputs, neue Themen? 🗯🗯
Die ersten zwei Monate des Lockdowns im März 2020 habe ich in Japan verbracht. Meine Freundin und ich sind im letzten Flieger aus Berlin raus, der nicht gecancelt wurde. Diese Zeit hat mich diesem Land noch näher gebracht als zuvor schon und so nahmen wir uns vor, für den nächsten Besuch besser vorbereitet zu sein. Wir lernen nunmehr seit 2 Jahren Japanisch. Mit zwar mäßigem Erfolg, man muss die alte Maschine erstmal wieder an derartigen Input gewöhnen, aber selbst die kleinen Fortschritte fühlen sich sugoi an!Da ich damals mit Platten angefangen habe in den 90er, bin ich letztendlich auf CD Player mit Sticks umgestiegen. Demnach liebe ich schon das klassische und möchte die Geschwindigkeit immer noch selbst einpitchen.
🗯🗯 Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? 🗯🗯
Musik ist einfach und der Klassiker an meinem Instrument: Freunde haben eine Band gegründet und fragten mich, ob ich nicht Bass spielen wolle. Da hatten die Gitarristen keine Lust drauf und mir wurde eingeredet, das sei einfach. Naja. Versuche auch 20 Jahre später noch diese Lüge zu glauben. Auflegen kam hinterher. Ich bin 2006/2007 rum mit Freunden aus dem Ruhrgebiet nach Berlin gepilgert und dort entdeckten wir, dass Partys nicht nur auf Freitag und Samstag beschränkt waren. Mit dieser Inspiration sind wir zurück nach Dortmund und haben angefangen, Sonntag mittags Raves in Eckkneipen zu veranstalten. Auflegen mussten wir selber, weil Gagen konnten wir nicht zahlen. Kamen leider auch kaum Menschen, weil der Pott noch nicht so weit war aber der Gedanke zählt!

TH;EN (https://soundcloud.com/then-music) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 113
🗯🗯 Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? 🗯🗯
Tatsächlich ja. Vor 4-5 Jahren war es noch mehr Progressive House und jetzt kann ich sagen, dass ich im Melodic Techno eher meinen Sound sehe. Letztendlich bleibt es aber immer sehr Melodiös.
🗯🗯 Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? 🗯🗯
Da ich damals mit Platten angefangen habe in den 90er, bin ich letztendlich auf CD Player mit Sticks umgestiegen. Demnach liebe ich schon das klassische und möchte die Geschwindigkeit immer noch selbst einpitchen.
🗯🗯 Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set?🗯🗯
Alle Tracks haben ihre Besonderheit, sonst würde ich sie nicht spielen :-). Allerdings ist es immer toll seine eigenen neuen Sachen zu testen und die reaktion zu sehen ob und wie es ankommt.

🗯🗯 Hast du etwas Positives aus der Corona-Zeit ziehen können? 🗯🗯
100%! Ich habe endlich mal die Muße finden können, mich mit Dingen zu beschäftigen, die sonst immer liegen geblieben sind, wie Self-Care, Selbstreflexion und Musikproduktion.
🗯🗯 Was vermisst du seit März 2020 ganz besonders? 🗯🗯
Ich vermisse Clubbing schon sehr. Eben die Gelegenheiten, sich mit mehr oder weniger Gleichgesinnten an bestimmten Orten auszutauschen, gegenseitige Energien zu spüren, spontan in Ekstase zu geraten. Das fehlt mir.
🗯🗯 Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? 🗯🗯
Ich hab schon immer in irgendeiner Form Musik gemacht, jedoch war ich nie sehr selbstbewusst, wenn es darum ging, diese zu präsentieren. Deshalb war der Schritt zum Auflegen irgendwie organisch, weil man dabei im dunklen Club teilweise ein Stück Anonymität behielt. Das ist heute ja eher nicht mehr so.

ᗰᗩᖇIEᑌ (https://soundcloud.com/marieu-heimlich) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 107
🗯🗯 Hast du etwas Positives aus der Corona-Zeit ziehen können? 🗯🗯
Auf jeden Fall, Freundschaft! Manchmal ist man so sehr im dem ganzen Veranstaltungs- und Gigsstrudel drinnen, dass für Quality Time nicht viel Zeit übrig bleibt. Besonders wenn die eigenen Freund*innen im gleichen Strudel drin sind :)
Durch Corona haben wir mehr Zeit miteinander gewonnen und eigentlich immer das Beste daraus gemacht. Außerdem ist ja in dieser Zeit unser Herzensprojekt ᗰᗩᖇIEᑌ entstanden :)
🗯🗯 Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? 🗯🗯
Wir interpretieren jetzt mal die Frage etwas anders: wie wir gemeinsam zum auflegen begonnen haben. Also unseren ersten, gemeinsamen Gig hatten wir bei der Pride in Wien im Juni 2019. Danach gibt es einen etwas langen Gap und Corona kam dann noch auf und es hat tatsächlich mehr als ein Jahr gebraucht, bis wir uns wieder hinter den Decks verirrt hatten:
Wir schreiben den 21.09.2020. Nach einem schönen, heimlichen Open Air in der Gaswerksiedlung, entschloßen sich ein paar wilde Pokémons dazu, in einer gaaaanz neuen, unmöblierten Wohnung weiterzumachen. Also nahmen sie das nötigste mit, um gebührend weiterzufeiern: Controller, Boxen, Schlafsäcke, Pölster, Hängematte und natürlich Sekt, Mate, Maracuja. Ohne Prosetsch Marakusch geht gar nichts. Naja, auf jeden Fall war es noch dunkel als wir mit dem auflegen begonnen haben; die Sonne knallte schön durchs Fenster als wir damit aufhörten. Irgendwann dazwischen entstand der Name ᗰᗩᖇiEᑌ; eine aufgelegte Mischung aus unseren Vornamen Maria & Mathieu 🌈
🗯🗯 Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club? 🗯🗯
Am liebsten Uhudler Frizzante sonst gerne Prosecco-Mate-Maracuja <3

🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯
I saw it basically as anopportunity to push myself further instead of doing a break or being extremelly disapointed. i used those times to produce more, i did an album, i studied a lot more sound engineeering and kept ding music specially different music without the pressure to do club music
🗯🗯 What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? 🗯🗯

Isa Wolff (https://soundcloud.com/isa-wolff) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 105
🗯🗯 Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? 🗯🗯
Ich habe 2007 ganz klassisch mit TTs angefangen, mich dann eine Zeitlang mit CD-Mappen rumgeschlagen (auf denen ich meine eigene Schrift nicht lesen konnte). Inzwischen bin ich dankbar für USB-Sticks und ein Minimal-Setup. I travel light.
🗯🗯 Was vermisst du seit März 2020 ganz besonders? 🗯🗯
Die Musik war ja nie weg. Aber egal wie lange oder laut du zu Hause oder auf Kopfhörern drehst, du hast nicht das Gefühl wie im Club oder Open Air, dass der Sound dich durchdringt und umgibt. Und natürlich die Menschen – in ganze Gesichter schauen, Emotionen sehen und mitfühlen.
🗯🗯 Hast du in der letzten Zeit etwas Neues gelernt? Neues Wissen, andere Inputs, neue Themen? 🗯🗯
Ich liebe es, Neues zu lernen. 2020 habe ich meine Yin-Yoga-Teaching-Skills vertieft, 2021 habe ich mich in Scrum und agilen Methoden weitergebildet. Mein Mann hat mir einen E-Bass geschenkt, aber ich übe nicht so gewissenhaft wie er Gitarre, leider. So werden wir natürlich keine Band ;)

Playing in front of other people and partying with our friends are the things we miss the most. We used to go out a lot and we really hope that we can continue to do that soon...
🗯🗯 What’s your favorite food? 🗯🗯
Besides our very similar taste in music, we share the love for food in general and especially for the Southeast Asian cuisine.
🗯🗯 What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? 🗯🗯
Some kind of routine established during the last years: we tend to drink beer before and at the beginning of our sets. Probably the bavarian roots are the reason why we never forget to have at least one beer per club night. Later on, as the energy rises, beer is gradually substituted by Gin Tonic.

I also like to watch tutorials about music production and try to learn new stuff constantly. I think there is always progression and lots of ways to improve my skills.
🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯
Since I dont have the possibility to play as often as I used to before Covid I dont have the chance to roadtest my new productions and it takes longer for me to finish a track. I cant listen on big club speakers and dont get the reaction of the crowd so its just me or some friends that decide wether the track is dope or not and what needs to be changed. I also started to work on some softer tracks that arent particular for the dancefloor.

I prefer Skinny Bitch or a cold Beer

Mix-Titel - Den som är allestädes är ingenstädes
🗯🗯 Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? 🗯🗯
Der Letzte. Ich bin ein grosser Fan von Federico Albanese. Dazu die Stimme und vor allem der Text von Tara Nome Doyle, einfach wow. Gänsehaut. Jedesmal.
🗯🗯 Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? 🗯🗯
Ja, ich sitze nun öfters dazu. Und ich glaube ich werde musikalisch auch ein wenig ruhiger und gesetzter (werde ja nur noch um Ambient-Sets gebeten).
🗯🗯 Wie waren die Vorbereitung für den Mix? Woher kamen die Inspirationen? 🗯🗯 Wie so oft wenn der liebe Uwe mich um einen Mix bittet fängt es in mir gleich an zu vibrieren. Ich scanne innerlich all die tolle Musik, die ich (wieder-)entdeckt habe und mache mir über ein Konzept Gedanken, wie ich all das unter einen Hut (oder in einen Mix) packen kann. Irgendwann muss man sich dann halt für die 15-20 Songs entscheiden, was nicht leichtfällt. Und wirklich zufrieden bin ich dann sowieso nie damit, weil so viele tolle Stücke den Weg nicht in den Mix gefunden habe. Aber egal, mach ich dann halt noch einen...

Robine (https://soundcloud.com/robinedj) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 099
🗯🗯 How would you describe your style? 🗯🗯
I would describe my style as emotional and energetic. It is melancholic and yet hopeful. I love these driving basslines with big dramatic breakdowns. When I play my sets I'm aiming for everyone to dance with happy tears in their eyes :’)
🗯🗯 Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona? 🗯🗯
I did gain something positive. As the club closed down I spent more time developing my music production skills. I set up a routine where I would write music on daily basis and I've since then been working on my sound and making and releasing music since the start of Corona.
🗯🗯 What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? 🗯🗯
I grew up in a musical home where we would dance to Phil Collins and Diana Ross in the living room. My mum worked as the door hostess at the hippest Stockholm night club and was even working there pregnant with me. So I kinda was born surrounded by music, I guess.
When I was 8 I took piano classes and even exams in front of a panel of judges, but realised that being judged in music was not for me.
The next time I was being judged for my music was when I entered a DJ competition in Stockholm in front of a panel of judges (including Pleasurekraft). This was, too say the least, nerve-wrecking. But I prepared well (with help from my mentor Studio 54 DJ ) and I won the competition. This led to me quit my job at Spotify and move to Barcelona to focus on music.
While in Barcelona I helped out the local techno hero Sergio Patricio ("the man who brought techno to Barcelona"). I was also resident DJ at one of the most infamous after-hours bars, Jesus house. I worked 5-10am 4-5 days a week. Those were some times...
At ADE Amsterdam, I got to know Robosonic. He helped me in making my decision to move to Berlin and let me be part of his crew. I now live in Berlin since four years. I play at most of the big clubs in Berlin (Sisyphos, Kater Blau, Ritter Butzke and KitKat). Unfortunately now the clubs are going into yet another lockdown (I am writing this while at home with Corona…), but I will make lemonade from the lemon we’re being given and use the winter to make music instead. And once the winter is over I’m sure we will get back on the dance floor again!

🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯
It changed a lot tbh. Because of the missing club experiences it shifted more towards softer sounds. On top of that there was a lot more spare time available for spending in the studio. My general taste is always shifting a bit, so i cant tell you if this has something to do with the pandemic :)
🗯🗯 Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona? 🗯🗯
I gained a lot of knowledge about myself and music production during the pandemic. The before mentioned extra spare time made it possible to dive deeper into some topics.
🗯🗯 What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? 🗯🗯

Sabine Hoffmann (https://soundcloud.com/sabine-hoffmann) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 097
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
My idea for the United We Stream Podcast was to record a house mix, because most of my recordings are techno and most of my bookings are for techno events. My love for house music is at least as big as my love for techno music, thats why i chose to do a house mix.
I decided to take the first hour of our OYE Records Night at Paloma Bar from 2nd October, because the mood and atmosphere was so wonderful and the energy was great.
🗯🗯 How do you make use of technology? 🗯🗯
To this day i haven't looked at the new technology CDJ´s are offering. You will always find me playing vinyl only sets as I prefer the warmth of analog sounds and the classic feel of turntables.
🗯🗯 How would you describe your style? 🗯🗯
I play a deep blend of techno, electro, Chicago & Detroit house with nuggets of acid, funk and breakbeats rolled in, I also love to play ambient sets. My record collection is pretty big and i like to play different genres, i don´t like to be fixed in one genre.

Moog Conspiracy (https://soundcloud.com/moogc) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 093
🗯🗯 What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? 🗯🗯
I started to listen to music as a kid, my dad would bring 5 to 10 records from the record shop every weekend and i would go through most of them. I then started to play drums in bands, ranging from rock to metal. I start to get into electronic music when i was studying in Paris. We had a Bibliotheque that would rent us records for free and one of the team members was a big fan of electronic music, i started to get into it at this moment. I loved the first records of bpitch control back then. I moved to Berlin in 2006 with a plan of starting an electronic music label, i discovered my love for minimal techno in the clubs in Berlin and started to produce that style after some try at drum n bass . After my first Ep as Moog Conspiracy some requests came in and I got ready to play my first live set. People loved it and I started to dj later on. things turned out quite well, and I got to play at some festivals in Germany and then started to tour regularly abroad.
🗯🗯 What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? 🗯🗯
Moscow Mule
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
This mix contains mainly new music I have been digging for the past weeks. I selected mainly tracks I found deep and touching, that have something special. The set also contains some tracks of my new album "Constant Repetitive Rhythm" that is out on my label Elektrotribe and one track I released on Sportclub music this summer. The style is slightly different from my club set, as it doesn't need the drive of the night, its more a musical and personal approach on this mix. I hope you will enjoy it.

🗯🗯 Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? 🗯🗯
Ich bin da eher klassisch unterwegs. Ich brauche richtige Regler und Fader ohne Mehrfachbelegung oder so etwas. Daher arbeite ich auch hauptsächlich mit Vintage-Synths.
🗯🗯 Was ist dein Lieblings-Club oder Festival und warum? 🗯🗯
Ich denke das Moyn Moyn Festival. Es hat die perfekte Größe und eine gute Mischung an Leuten. Mein Lieblingsclub ist der Südpol in Hamburg. Es ist ein Ort guter Erinnerungen und auch hier stimmt die Größe.
🗯🗯 Wie waren die Vorbereitung für den Mix? Woher kamen die Inspirationen? 🗯🗯
Mit meinem Acud-Projekt fahre ich ja einen ganz bestimmten Sound. Unter meinem bürgerlichen Namen habe ich einen ganz anderen Ansatz und ich habe Songs zusammengemischt die ich einfach sehr gerne mag. Es ist also keine Set um danach in den Club zu gehen, sondern eher eine Reise, durch ganz verschiedene Produktionsweisen der elektronischen Beatmusik.

wannadosomething? (https://soundcloud.com/wannadosomething) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 091
🗯🗯 Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? 🗯🗯
Das ist ganz klar Boss Dance. Ihr kennt das Genre nicht? Es wurde auch von Gesine erfunden. Eines Nachmittages im Berghain Garten sagte ihre Freundin zu ihr: "Hey, du tanzt wie ein Boss." Gesine erwiderte: "Klar, ist ja auch Boss Dance!" Während sie das sagte, wiegte sie im Takt von rechts nach links, die Beine leicht gespreizt aufgestellt, die Fäuste geballt vorm Körper - doppelte Bohlenfaust - und leichte Schnute. An diesem Nachmittag spielte Jennifer Cardini.
🗯🗯 Hast du etwas Positives aus der Corona-Zeit ziehen können? 🗯🗯
Das haben wir. Die Zeit hat uns geholfen, unseren Sound "tighter" zu machen, uns als Künstler:innen selbstsicherer werden zu lassen. Wir haben unendliche Stunden damit verbracht, im Wohnzimmer zu tanzen und viele unserer eigenen Sets zu hören. Mit sehr kritischen Ohren und ausgeklügelter Analyse danach. Dadurch haben wir einen noch besseren musikalischen Draht zueinander aufgebaut, wissen, dass wir uns zu 1000 Prozent auf den anderen verlassen können.
🗯🗯 Was ist dein Lieblingsgericht / Essen? 🗯🗯
SchniBrö! Was fürn Ding? Schnitzelbrözchen in vegan. Das Schni anbraten, das Brö aufbacken. Wichtig, die Innenseiten des Brö müssen mit veganer Majonäse und Senf bestrichen werden. Andere Saucen können sein, müssen aber nicht. Für Knack und Frische ein paar Scheiben grüne Gurke und fertig. Eignet sich hervorragend als Katerfrühstück.

HITO (https://soundcloud.com/hito-love) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 023
🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your stay? 🗯🗯
I start to productive before the pandemic start. So I appreciate that I have been doing it during the pandemic and think about more meaning of production. But my message of DJing is more energy and live act with people so I have been finding the different way of expression in this new situation. This is more important meaning for me.
🗯🗯 What´s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially 🗯🗯
My history of DJ-ing is Berlin. I moved to Berlin in 1999. Then I have been playing local clubs. I have been playing more house to bigbeat and breakbeats and less Techno that time. Then I met Richie (Richie Hawtin) in 2008 in Berlin, joining his ENTER.sake in Ibiza in 2012, 3 years after I became “HITO”, have been playing worldwide.
🗯🗯 How would you describe your style? 🗯🗯
I would say “Hito Style”..haha.. I am still 100% Vinyl player in any venues so I still feel don’t give up to play in Vinyl. I don’t forget myself the first touch of the track on vinyl and want to share with new generation.
🗯🗯 Did you have a mentor? 🗯🗯 I grow up with Richie, he shows me many different situations and venues and countries in the world. I most experienced his set in my DJ life I guess so I simply appreciate his sharing and passion for the music. I really thankful for this.
🗯🗯 Which tracks marks a highlight in your set? 🗯🗯 I would say some of the track when I play around after 40”min. I normally do first half a hour warm up myself then I create first loller coaster point with highlight go my set. The track which has deep and groovy energy, can be always several tracks.

Tom Peters (https://soundcloud.com/tompetersworld) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 087
🗯🗯 Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work? 🗯🗯
A typical friday starts around 8:30am with 30min yoga/mediation after that I have green tea and large bowl of oatmeal with fruits, nuts and spices as I am not a coffee person.
Then I start updating the Beatport Store for the genres I oversea which are Melodic House & Techno, Indie Dance, Dark Disco, Organic/Downtempo.
From midday onwards I usually listening to over 150 releases for the Beatport store placement for the upcoming week.
In the late afternoon I have a team meeting and in the evening, I go to the gym and my partner and I go to our fav plant base burger place called Lias Kitchen.
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
I am constantly listening to new music while curating the Beatport store and in the end of each month I buy the tracks I like and combine them with all the promos I received that month. I went through all the music from the last few months.
The inspiration for the podcast was that energy one feels at an opening set.
Imagine it’s the beginning of the day at a smaller intimate German festival.
🗯🗯 What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why! 🗯🗯
I have been organising the DESSERT Event at ://about blank since 2012.
://about blank is a space for me to meet open minded people and who share a love for music that spans from disco to house and deeper trippier techno.
With the growth of DESSERT I am launching a label on September 3rd, 2021 with the first Release by Bertolt Meyer and a Remix from Hannes Bieger followed by an EP from Spanish Producer Argia with Remixes by Mala Ika and Rancido.

Ilija Djokovic (https://soundcloud.com/ilijadjokovic) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 021
🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your stay? 🗯🗯
The Pandemic situation helped me a lot to understand better where I want to go in the future, as well as a DJ and of course as a music producer.
Some changes in musical direction have happened and I'm very happy about the results.
🗯🗯 What´s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? 🗯🗯
I'm playing music since 2010 and it all started with house music, which I still like to play on some special occasions. My godfather was the DJ and he was the influence for me to start exploring this mainly as a hobby. Today, I'm a prolific DJ who shared the decks with many superstars from our scene such as Maceo Plex, Carl Cox, Nina Kraviz, Amelie Lens and many more.
🗯🗯 How would you describe your style? 🗯🗯
It's techno as a root genre, but I like to experiment with other genres too. Mostly melodic kind of techno.
🗯🗯 Did you have a mentor? 🗯🗯
No, I didn't have a mentor, unfortunately. I have learned everything alone and in a harder/longer way.
🗯🗯 Wich tracks marks a highlight in your set? 🗯🗯
Lately, it's my brand new unreleased track 'Icarus'. It brings fire to the dancefloor every time I played it!

coramøøn (https://soundcloud.com/coramoon) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 085
🗯🗯 Wie bist du zur Musik / zum auflegen gekommen? 🗯🗯
Ich wurde auf meiner Asienreise im Jahr 2019 zum Auflegen inspiriert. Damals hatte ein bekannter Berliner DJ in einem Club auf Bali gespielt, mit dem ich mich über seinen Job unterhalten habe. Diese Zeit war für mich eine Zeit des beruflichen Umbruchs, also fing ich an, mir das Auflegen und Produzieren beizubringen. Als ich nach ein paar Wochen von einem Veranstalter gefragt wurde, ob ich in seinem Club das Opening spielen möchte und mir das unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht hat, war für mich klar, dass ich meine Berufung gefunden habe:-).
🗯🗯 Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? 🗯🗯
Ich mag es, mich verschiedenen Genres zu bedienen. Von Indie Dance, Dark Disco bis hin zu Progressive/Melodic House & Techno. Am meisten Freude bereitet mir das Spiel aus wummernden Bässen und schönen, harmonischen Melodien. Wenn ich zuschauen kann, wie das Publikum in der Musik versinkt, habe ich mein Ziel erreicht!
🗯🗯 Hast du etwas Positives aus der Corona-Zeit ziehen können? 🗯🗯
Mein kleines Lockdown-Baby, das im April zur Welt gekommen ist. Sie heißt Lilly!:-)

🗯🗯 Was ist dein Lieblingsgericht / Essen? 🗯🗯
Spinattorte
🗯🗯 Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? 🗯🗯
Meine "neue" Technologie ist quasi wieder die alte Technologie, so wie ich angefangen habe aufzulegen vor 13 Jahren. Und zwar mit dem schwarzem Gold - Vinyl. <3 Vieles an Musik die ich gerade feiere kommt zum großen Teil wieder auf Platte raus. Das gefällt mir und deswegen nutze ich es wieder. Ich liebs.
🗯🗯 Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? 🗯🗯
Die Frage passt zu dem Set ganz gut. Denn wie man im Titel lesen kann, soll dieses Set eine Hommage an iO (Mulen) sein. Der Ukrainer hat es wirklich geschafft mich mit seinem Groove so sehr zu vereinnahmen, dass ich begonnen habe unter meinem neuen alias "CVO" immer mehr in die Minimal und Deep House Richtung auszuschlagen. Er beeinflusst sogar den Sound unseres neu gegründeten Labels "Bladehouse". Ich habe für diesen Podcast viele meiner Mulen-Platten zusammengesucht und einen 1,5h Mix draus gemixt. Der Mix stellt quasi meinen Übergang von "Casimir von Oettingen" zu "CVO" dar. Ich hoffe er gefällt euch. Für die einen mag er vlt. etwas eintönig klingen. Für mich öffnen sich jedoch Welten drin. Also ganz viel Spaß damit!

🗯🗯 Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? 🗯🗯
So, wie in fast allen Podcasts, die ich aufnehme, der erste und der letzte Track.
🗯🗯 Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? 🗯🗯
Verspielt, brummende Bässe und sehr gemischt, was das Genre betrifft. Indie, House, Progressive, ab und zu auch mal Einflüsse aus dem Hip Hop oder einen Klassiker. Ich glaube, ich habe noch nie ein Set zusammengestellt, wo ich nur eine Richtung gespielt habe. Wahrscheinlich hab ich deswegen auch keinen festen Stil - ich spiele das, was mich in diesen Momenten glücklich macht oder mitnimmt.
🗯🗯 Was trinkst du beim Auflegen im Club? 🗯🗯
Wasser und ganz zum Schluss einen Shot Vodka.

🗯🗯 Wie würdest du deinen Stil selbst beschreiben? 🗯🗯
RSS Disco meinte mal zu mir, mit Dir aufzulegen ist immer wie eine Wundertüte aufzumachen. Mann weiß nie in welche Richtung es geht. Ich glaube das trifft es sehr gut.
🗯🗯 Hat sich deine Art und Weise und vielleicht auch dein Stil Musik zu machen geändert? 🗯🗯
Ich denke schon, wie befinden uns ja immer in einem technologischen Prozess. Also findet auch immer ein Wandel statt. Beim auflegen liebe ich zwar Vinyl aber die CDJ´s will ich auch nicht mehr missen, da sie eine andere Inspiration bzw. einen anderen Mixmodus hervorbringen. Genauso beim produzieren. Die Technik die ich heute verwende ist auch eine andere als vor 15 Jahren. Aber am Ende ist es immer eine Frage von Inspiration und Ideen.
🗯🗯 Welcher Track ist für dich ganz besonders in deinem Set? 🗯🗯
Filburt - I Miss You Disco
Dieser Track ist im Dezember entstanden, für mich war der Winter echt hart daher ist er auch so melancholisch geworden. Umso mehr freue ich mich das er nun auf der VAYA Solivinyl rausgekommen ist. Diese unterstützt die Leipziger Clubkultur.

🗯🗯 How would you describe your style? 🗯🗯
It's techno, but it's full of deep sounds that mimic the yin and yang. My style combines transitions and surprises. I prefer to build up my set as a story from experimental to dub techno and underground techno. You'll know my style when you listen to this podcast!
🗯🗯 What are you missing the most since March 2020?🗯🗯
I miss DJing, it's what I live for. If I think about it it`s actually sad realizing I haven't felt that unique feeling of standing behind the decks for a set or that feeling you have just coming off of a set. Most artists have been robbed of the same feeling by the pandemic. I miss the excitement of the clubs and its crowds, to go out with friends, be inspired by culture and enjoy great music.

In April 2020, I had a first "big" label release for Get Physical and their EP series "Croatia Gets Physical", they always drop a party in Croatia for that occasion, with artists from EP including labelhead Roland Leesker, I was a bit saddened when I realised that, that wouldn't happened and really sad that any other party is questionable in near future. That was a moment when I perceived that some other times have come upon us. I hope that will change soon.
🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯
I used play very energetic sets in the clubs or festivals particularly, deep, progressive, sometimes on the edge with techno with lower BPMs, but always with lot of groove and surprises in mixing and drops. Music I've made from March 2020 'till today is more for relaxing time or after hours, than for a peak hour. I went the other way - minimal, ro-minimal even with a touch of micro house. A good example is my track "Extragalactic" - the closing track in mix I've made for you (UWS Podcast).
I've must admit to you, that I think a lot about future gigs that I'm already booked for this summer, what will I play, will my sound in front of the ravers get back? Will I sound the same as I used to?
🗯🗯 What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? 🗯🗯
I'm educated in classical guitar, my grandfather was a composer and conductor, the whole family is involved in music as composers, arrangers, solo artists, choir conductors, professor lecturers in music schools... etc., So the music is always big part of our (my) life(s). I had an interest of selecting music since I remember, "destroying" old cassettes an recording new music over them. I used to make mixtapes for my friends for some special occasions. Then I've found out that you can play music from two different players/turntables and blend music together through mixer. But when I was a kid buying an equipment was a "quite a bite" for a family budget, so I waited for a few years. When I've managed to save money from summer job. I finally bought a pair of CDJ 500, but didn't have money for mixer, so I borrowed it from a bar that is closed during winter. I remember coming home and cleaning it thoroughly, they didn't recognise it when I returned it, their first thought was that, that's not theirs. Considering that I live on one of the largest Croatian island: Krk, there was a lot of opportunity to make deal for summer residency, so I officially started in 2005. I've made a big break between 2008. and 2013. when I started again, but my sound was different, more underground. In 2015. I won the newcomer contest at "ILLECTRICITY" Festival in Zagreb and I got a chance to open main night for Emika (Ema Jolly). After that "conquest" and gig on a big stage, I've decided that electronic music is definitely part of me and that I should never ever let it go...

Kittin (https://soundcloud.com/misskittin) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 018
🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯
I took distance with everything, creative pressure, image, social media, and focus on my biological rhythm, Nature, what is important. I am more balanced and inspired.
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
As I downloaded less music, I played the latest purchases and old ones I rediscovered, driven by the energy of rebirth and optimism when we'll all meet again.
🗯🗯 Did you have a mentor? 🗯🗯
My grand father. He was a coming drawer, and chose a humble path far from the spotlight to privilege a quality of life. He taught me everything, from riding a bike to swim, to travel.

Nikola presents (https://soundcloud.com/marrrinkovic) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 074
🗯🗯 What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially? 🗯🗯
My first contact with music was propably my dad's record collection. It was huge, because he used to be a radio DJ in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. He used to drive with his car to West-Berlin to buy the latest records, drive them back to Zagreb and play them immidiately as soon as he arrived. It was everything from then mid 70s rock music, Disco, Jazz or stuff as Einstürzende Neubauten and i remember never beeing allowed to touch the records as a child but we were doing mixtapes together. I would pick the music and record it on tapes and do covers for them by cutting out stuff from magazines.
Later I moved to Berlin and was introduced to the scene of queer clubbing. I raved a lot on the dancefloors and always tried to buy the records of DJs i liked hearing in clubs. And then of course everything started by playing the records to friends and so on and so on.
🗯🗯 What are you missing the most since March 2020? 🗯🗯
First of all beeing hung over for a reason. You know? It's not that i haven't beeing partying here and there during the summer but the experiences I have made haven't been the same. For example: Usually I go out on a night / sunday and I'll meet a lot of friends, new people, make new experiences and most important: I see other queer people. This is the thing I probably miss the most. The community, the freedom of expressing yourself in a way that is now impossible. I would say that the dancefloor saved my life in a way that i was introduced to a world that didn't know before. It helped me coming out as a gay man and feeling accepted. It's the freedom i miss one only can truly experience on a dancefloor filled with sunday freaks.
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
It was a bit nerve wracking as i play vinyl and some records got stuck in customs i would like to play but anyways...there are plenty of other records to play and I think the main inspiration i got are the people surrounding me making music, friends and lovers. As I said I miss my queer community and I haven't seen most of them in a long time and playing the mix I imagined us dancing all together.

🗯🗯 Which tracks marks a highlight in your set? 🗯🗯
Aisha Devi - Light Luxury (Yubik & Innellea Remix) Because Innellea and I have found each other again musically. I am more than proud to have such a companion.
🗯🗯 Which artist influenced you a lot? 🗯🗯
First Thought ! Trikk - His unique composition of percussion and atmosphere, coupled with this indescribable light coolness. A producer where every element sits in the right place and always gave me the feeling of, ok wow this is new.
🗯🗯 Is there some new things you learned in the last while? Did you find more inputs or new topics to focus on? 🗯🗯
Being alone with me. Everyone should do this more often. In the end, you also die alone and whoever deals with himself early enough and asks himself the right questions will learn to love himself and live a wonderful life.

🗯🗯 Is there positive developments you recognized during the pandemic? 🗯🗯
That nature has recovered a bit while we have stayed at home. It seems like the earth has gotten a well needed break from all the air traffic population and the air has gotten cleaner. A few years ago I was really shocked to realise there were no bees and rarely no insects in my little garden house during the summer. But last year I spotted a few and it made me hopeful.
🗯🗯 Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona? 🗯🗯
A well needed break with a lot of time offline.
🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯

Franca (https://soundcloud.com/francaplays) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 074
🗯🗯 What are you missing the most since March 2020? 🗯🗯
Simply put: I miss my job! The joy of creating these magical moments for people on the dancefloor, uniting together in sound and dance. The impulses, exchange and creative input that make being an artist so wonderful. And all the craziness, the traveling to unknown places, the sunrises with strangers and old friends and everything else that comes with it.
🗯🗯 Did you gain something positive from this time with Corona? 🗯🗯
I made the decision to move back home to Munich for this time period to be able to spend more time with my family. This is priceless and I know I will forever be grateful to have had all this quality time with them. Also, I have finally been able to focus more on my own music production, which has also been very rewarding and nourishing. Slowing the f*** down is never a bad idea for any individual and I am also glad our planet is getting a break to some degree. I sincerely hope, we as humanity are learning at least some of the lessons this crisis has to offer and that as a collective we will reflect on these and implement improvements accordingly in the future.
🗯🗯 Which tracks marks a highlight in your set? 🗯🗯
I have included 2 unreleased tracks of mine. Voices Inside (Franca's Rave House Remix) is a remix I did for Paradoks, soon to be released on Rebellion der Träumer (nr.3). My track Chiron is my addition to the 10 Year anniversary URSL compilation coming your way soon too (nr.7).

🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯
In the grand scheme of things, the job is...and always will remain the same. Moving people. However, regarding the delicate balance between head and crotch music, the scales have tipped considerably to the side of cerebral provocation in the absence of the dance floor physicality. This pandemic year has not substantially altered my music collecting or production habits, but has simply re-arranged my moods. Mirroring or channeling prevailing feelings with honesty and authenticity is the name of the game. So. Short answer. A little bit slower, a tad introspective, but always funky. I mean....
🗯🗯 What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? 🗯🗯
Mezcal and lots of water. Sip one, gulp the other. Sometimes switch it up.
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
I ALWAYS imagine a friend's face in absolute ecstasy as I play a certain part of certain track. That's the starting point. From there, I free-associate and connect the dots between highs and lows, always imagining that friend in the room. I keep them happy and engaged. For this mix, I thought of my friend Alex in Brooklyn giggling as he sings along to 'Sexy disco, sexy disco, na-na-na!'

🗯🗯 What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? 🗯🗯
Definitely Gin & Tonic :) !
🗯🗯 What are you missing the most since March 2020? 🗯🗯
I miss to play in front of people, to see the reaction from the audience and exchange looks and smiles. It's about sharing emotions, feelings and moments. I also miss the feeling of being in a club, to be in the crowd and to feel the energy on the dance floor. I miss that feeling you get when you go to a club, you get a natural high. I miss those peaks of the emotional highs that we get from dancing. The exitement you get from dancing surrounded by many people and listening to music at a loud volume. you get an amazing emotional release. I miss dancing and communicating with my friends and even people I don’t know. I miss techno..
🗯🗯 How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? 🗯🗯
Well, for this mix, my main inspiration was to imagine people dancing during listening to the mix. I also danced on my own recording it :). I also thought what the nightclubs has offered and will still offer to everyone: hedonism, the possibility to live out their identity or their desires freely, less anarchy, more love and forget the time :) … The mix is divided in many style; from trippy and floating techno to something harder and galloping. I had fun recording it in my studio and I hope people will feel the same feeling when they listen to it. We need to dance!

🗯🗯 Was ist dein Lieblings-Club oder Festival und warum? 🗯🗯
Mein Lieblings-Club ist definitiv der Südpol in Hamburg. Von Profis für Profis. Dort hat es den einzig wahren Nebel, alles andere ist nur schlechte Sicht. Herrlich unkompliziertes Personal, bunte Mischung an Gästen und eine der besten Sound-Anlagen Deutschlands. Ja, das ist mein Happy-Place ❤
🗯🗯 Verwendest du neue Technologie oder bist du eher klassisch unterwegs? 🗯🗯
Da ich fast nur eigene Sachen spiele und ein paar wenige Tracks von Freunden kenn ich die Tracks in- und auswendig , das ist sehr wichtig wenn man die Funktionen der Player ausreizt, da geht einiges und ich bin absolut frei in dem was ich da mache. Ich loope viel, bau neue Tracks aus meinen vorhandenen, alla den bass von hier , Vokals und Synthes von hier.... So passiert ständig was neues, unvorhergesehenes ... Mein Anspruch ist immer unberechenbar zu bleiben...

Juliet Fox (https://soundcloud.com/djjulietfox) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 017
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
It basically flipped it all on it's head, and almost overnight. ..after years of travelling to other cities almost every weekend to play gigs..
to sitting at home, wondering when things might return to normal. At first it felt like the perfect time to just sit and write music, and have some down time..
but I found it harder to be motivated without the life that I knew, and the inspiration from all that came with that. Overall it's taught me a lot in the last year, about what's really important..
and how to manage all of the emotions that come day by day, and how to keep focused and positive.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded it in my studio in Berlin.. to be honest I found this a bit hard to put together, as my musical taste has been changing almost every day.. sometimes it can be really hard, or more melodic / softer.. or very experimental.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
For everyone to take something from this time, maybe more respect and appreciation... that we learn from this time and not just switch back to the way we used to act before.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
I very well remember my last gig in front of a really packed club, back in March 2020. After that night, everything changed drastically and my artist life was pretty much set on hold. Nobody could tell (and still cannot) for how long clubs would have to be closed. So instead of the regular performances, I did several online livestreams and gigs in front of a sitting audience which was a totally new experience and a little odd, to be honest.
Therefore, I had much more time, pretty much every weekend, to focus on things that normally would get lost in the everyday stress and busyness. Ever since, I’ve been trying to make use of the time as much as I can, to read, think, educate myself, reflect, ask myself many questions about life and to liaise with my inner voice… a great process of personal development actually. And lastly, one more really good thing – I also had more time to work on new music productions.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded the mix this past Saturday at home, in my living room. Actually, it is the first mix that I did in there, as I remodeled my apartment and recently moved my DJ work station from the bedroom into the living room. It actually felt really good and the new ambiance totally helped me getting into a creative flow. I also have to say that during mixing, all of a sudden, a big feeling of nostalgia came up. I cannot express how much I would love to share my music, share the emotions and feel the connectedness together with a live audience.
Soon again!
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
First of all, I hope that we get through this crisis as safely and healthy as we possibly can. I’m pretty sure that this time will have a lasting impact for each and everyone of us.
Most importantly, I hope that people will question the „faster, higher, further“. I wish that, in a way, we will rather return to the fundamentals of life – I hope that we can appreciate these and that we will value quality over quantity, in all different aspects of life.
I am quite certain that arts and culture will play a huge role in times after Corona and that the electronic music scene will be back again in full bloom. I can’t wait :-)

Djane Austen (https://soundcloud.com/djane-austen) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 065
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Last year during the first lockdown, after the first DJ-livestreams got boring pretty quickly, I lost my motivation to make music. There was no crowd around, no more people from our HCIT collective, there were no emotions transported through that little window for chatting. That frustrated me for a little while. So at first, I decided to concentrate at first on my mental well-being and coping with the situation by myself. As we all got accustomed to this new way of living I found back to making music again. In that time I figured out that creating podcasts became my favorite substitute for gigs and parties.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded this set at home - where else? ¯\_( • ‿ • )_/¯ - in my WG-bedroom in Erlangen. From time to time I become sad that I don't have real gigs anymore, but lately the thought came into my mind, that I'm not longer sure if I still would be practiced enough to DJ-ing live. Doing podcasts is very different for me. I love being focused on one podcast for hours, days and weeks, sometimes until late at night. I have fun improving it until it becomes exactly the way I want it to be; to cut it here and there, to transform the tracks, to work with four decks and sometimes making transitions, that would never ever work for me in live DJ-ing. That's what I like about doing podcasts. I can take my time, return to it several times. Of course this practice has its own downsides. Like sometimes my obsession for perfection wins the upper hand and maybe wants too much. But let's not speak of the downsides, haha.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I can only echo the statements that have already been expressed by other artists here on this channel! I wish you out there all the best and that (sub-)culture, nightlife and club owners will survive and persist. For me personally, I wish that we will be able to catch up on our plans for parties and workshops, etc. we made before. And I really wish that our HCIT collective will survive this pandemic, because a lot of our members moved away in the meantime. Depends on how long everything will last. But we'll see. At last I'm looking forward to hugging friends and dancing through the nights together again.

Nohan (https://soundcloud.com/nohanmusic) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 064
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
This virus was a great opportunity for me. I have had a lot of time to focus better on the deepest part of me and to plan goals I want to achieve with Nohan.
I’m making a very personal music that doesn’t follow the styles that are going at the moment. It is the musical version of myself and expressing myself in this way makes me find a very great satisfaction.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Lately I am very focused on the live which is the main goal of the project, but the DJ set remains something I love to do and also in this case it is nice to create an environment between dream and reality in which I try to get lost … to find myself.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I hope that the post-corona will be for all of us a return or a discovery of true happiness, starting from appreciating the things we have and that we take for granted but which ar not at all. The world is a wonderful place that can give us everything we really need. Often we are constantly looking for useless things that we don’t really like but that we chase without realizing it. The answer was simply this: I want to be happy, make my music and maybe make it my job.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
On March 9 2020 everything changed in my life. That Sunday was my third booking for the weekend and I was supposed to play in Napoli. But they went into lockdown on this date and it was the first booking I lost because of Covid. Afterwards all the other bookings got cancelled as well and I had no more income. At first it was quite a shock, but with time I realised I finally had a chance to work more on production, become a better producer, and finally also have the time to write my book. I enjoyed many great live streams during the past 11 Months, but I miss playing for people. I was very lucky that I had a chance to play 4 gigs on Mauritius during December. They don’t have Covid and my 5 weeks there where just amazing, having a normal live again for that time. But we all want to dance again and meet friends - here in Berlin and everywhere else.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Last night I recorded the set at home in Berlin. It was my first set since the return from Mauritius and it felt great to be back with the music again.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I can’t wait to be back on tour again and I just hope that all artists and venues will survive this crisis. My wish is that we will have learned how much value music and togetherness gives to our lives and people will appreciate more what clubs and artists are giving them with their passion and hard work.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
From going to the airport and being in a different city every weekend to spending too much time at home:) I could get some rest after years and years of endless traveling (I had another crazy traveling job before Djing so I never spent this much time at home in my entire life) and build some healthy routines but also it has been very difficult to keep the motivation at times.
In my case I could spend a lot of time in my studio and catch up on some knowledge as a fresh producer. I released my first EP and some remixes and colabs on compilations.
Also I’ve been doing a lot of live streams since almost a year now. I started playing music online from my living room in March and played almost every week on different platforms for different labels and communities until Turkey’s lockdown eased down a bit in June. I kept on playing less frequently through the summer while I could play small socially distanced gigs in Turkey - unfortunately I could not travel to Europe even though I had some requests for small parties. When the second wave hit the world I started my weekly residency on Twitch for Abracadabra TV. Live streaming every Sunday for 2 hours, different music every week is very challenging but also very rewarding. I love live streams and I owe them my sanity and my motivation to keep going as an artist. I reach a lot of people and we even have our insider jokes :)
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded it at home on my couch next to the window with headphones and traktor controller. It was cosy :)
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Can not wait to give hugs to people without thinking about it and seeing the smile on strangers faces. I missed touring and being with people and sharing music with people in the same space, not reading but actually seeing their reactions to my music. I hope those days are close! I miss festivals and clubs and being carefree!

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯 Zu Beginn der Corona Pandemie hatte ich das „Glück“ in Elternzeit zu sein. Wir haben uns als Familie eine Auszeit in Portugal genommen und sind da dann auch letztlich für 7 Monate gestrandet. Dadurch, dass ich also ohnehin abseits von Berlin war habe ich dieses plötzliche Wegbrechen von kulturellen Ereignissen aus einer anderen Distanz erlebt. Als Booker des Klunkerkranich war ich natürlich im engen Austausch mit dem Team vor Ort und erinnere mich noch an das seltsame Gefühl barfuß im Strand zu stehen und am Telefon akut alle Veranstaltungen abzusagen. Als wir im Sommer zurück gekommen sind hatte man das gute Gefühl ein Kulturleben mit Corona ist möglich und bei meinem Gig am Tag der Clubkultur war es fast ein bisschen surreal wieder im Kranich Wohnzimmer zu stehen.
Corona hat in meinem Leben einfach meine Profession - die Programmgestaltung und das Kuratieren auf dem Klunkerkranich - völlig ins Abseits gedrängt. Im Hochsommer fahren wir auf dem Kranich teilweise bis zu 16 Veranstaltungen die Woche, wir kommunizieren über die Saison hinweg mit hunderten Künstlern - und plötzlich fiel das Alles weg. In Portugal habe ich mich sehr stark auf mein Modular-System und das produzieren von eigener Musik konzentriert und werde in diesem Jahr auf unserem Label „bohemian drips“ meine erste Solo LP veröffentlichen. Je länger die Situation anhält und die aktuellen Lösungsansätze lediglich scheinbar endlose Verlängerungen des „Lock-Downs“ sind, empfinde ich die aktuelle Situation als Booker, Veranstalter und Künstler auf jeden Fall mehr als bedrückend und schaue aktuell eher mit Sorge als Hoffnung in die Zukunft.
🗯🗯 Wo habt ihr diesen Mix aufgenommen? 🗯🗯
Zuhause in unserem Schlafzimmer. One Shot Live Mix, Vinyl Only - wie alle meine Mixes. Ich bin fanatischer Plattensammler und höre auch zuhause fast ausschließlich Musik von Schallplatte. Man mag es mir nachsehen - viele der Platten im Mix sind heißgeliebt und oft gespielt, ziemlich staubig und waren die letzten 7 Jahren auf den meisten Gigs dabei. Der erste Track im Mix ist zum Beispiel eine relativ selten Platte von Eberhard Schöner, die ich in Portugal auf einem Flohmarkt gefunden hatte, die Kate Wax Platte habe ich jahrelang gesucht und dann aus einer gedrückten Kiste im Record Loft an der Grießmühle herausgefischt und die Floating Points LP verlässt manchmal wochenlang nicht den heimischen Plattenspieler. Zum Abschluss gibt’s dann auch noch einen ollen’ Klassiker, der mit Träne im Auge ein kleines Zwinkern da lassen soll.
🗯🗯 Was wünschst du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Ich hatte oft schon vor Corona das Empfinden, dass die Belustigungskultur und der allgemeine Hedonismus einen gewissen Drift ins systematische bekommen hat - als wäre das ganze Ökosystem Clubkultur etwas überreizt. Auch der welt weite Ruf des Berliner Nachtlebens hat dazu beigetragen, dass gewisse Dinge etwas aus dem Ruder gelaufen sind und bestimmte Themen oder Inhalte nicht mehr den richtigen Platz gefunden haben. Ich bin sehr gespannt auf neue Konzepte für Veranstaltungen und Clubnächte - neue Formate für konzentriertes Zuhören und musikalisches Erleben, wie auch für Entgrenzung und Exzess. Neben der ökonomischen Bedrohung denke ich kann es durchaus positive Effekte aus diesem Hard-Reset geben und ich bin mir sicher, dass der „Neustart“ ganz fantastische neue Möglichkeiten bringen wird.

Zola (https://soundcloud.com/zola-1) + Schall&Hausch (https://soundcloud.com/schallundhauch) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 061
🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Grundlegend. Seit fast einem Jahr gibt es so gut wie gar keine Möglichkeiten mehr vor Publikum aufzulegen und wenn, wie im Spätsommer oder Herbst, dann unter komplett anderen, strengen Bedingungen. Andererseits haben wir alle die Zeit genutzt, um noch mehr Musik zu diggen und Mixtapes aufzunehmen oder Stream-Sets zu spielen. Das ersetzt einen Gig vor Publikum zwar nicht annähernd, aber man kann es auch als Inventur der bisher geleisteten Arbeit als DJ und Selector*in begreifen.
🗯🗯 Wo habt ihr diesen Mix aufgenommen? 🗯🗯
Wir haben von zuhause und zu dritt am Tape gearbeitet und die Arbeit ein bisschen aufgeteilt. Zola und Buzz Boris haben das Konzept aufgestellt und die Selektion übernommen, was bei der speziellen Ausrichtung des Tapes Richtung subkultureller NDW-Sounds ziemlich aufregend war. Marinelli hat auch noch ein paar Tracks mit reingeworfen, aber vor allem aufgenommen, Schräubchen gedreht und das Mastering übernommen. Im Chat haben wir dann die Feinheiten diskutiert und uns gegenseitig Feedback gegeben. Das hat irre viel Spaß gemacht und hat auch auf die Distanz wirklich erstaunlich gut funktioniert. Wir denken sogar schon über ein Follow-Up Mixtape nach.
🗯🗯 Was wünschst du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Gesamtgesellschaftlich wünschen wir uns Nachsicht, Solidarität und Zusammenhalt untereinander. Aber natürlich auch eine Perspektive für die ziemlich allein gelassenen Künstlerinnen und Künstler. Wir haben alle noch andere Jobs bzw. eine Absicherung, viele unsere Freundinnen und Freunde nicht. Für die Zeit nach Corona wünschen wir uns, dass wir uns wieder ausgelassen und gemeinsam an fantastischer Musik erfreuen können. Und weniger Bildschirme!

🗯🗯 How did Corona change your artist life?🗯🗯
As I became a mother the second time end of 2019, Corona did not change that much in my artistlive in it’s first hard lockdown time, because I've only been home once anyway. Then time came I could have start business as usual but clubs were still closed. Since May 2020 I've been playing in various live streams from various clubs and organizers. It’s really great work whats happening with all those livestreams everywhere, but this is not the same like playing infront of real people... missing this a LOT!!!
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded this mix at home. In the nighttimes while my children slept. When I listen to my favorite music without the noise of children and the everyday worries, I feel happy, easy and free from all these corona restrictions.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
A change in many areas of life. Corona shows us limits in our way of life and I think it was time for that. you can’t just want to get more and more...

🗯🗯 How did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Despite club and festival gigs being cancelled for I was lucky enough to be in Sweden where did not have a lockdown and we were allowed to do small open-air events up to 50 people in the public parks. I and a group of friends quickly bought a generator and started with some small bi-weekly social dist-dancing. We managed to have many great days with intimate crowds in the sun most of the summer without any cases!
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded this mix from my living/ home studio where I am spending most mytime these days.
I spent the last month in South Africa with my family and I just got back to Sweden 2 days ago after some very stressful travel days.
The mix to me was like this change from the summer in South Africa to the Winter in Sweden.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Change! Corona has definitely shown us that many industries and lifestyles are unsustainable and hopefully we soon see a change to this!

Λrilu (https://soundcloud.com/arilumusic) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 058
🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert?🗯🗯
Ich muss sagen, dass sich für mich musikalisch viel geändert hat, ich habe durch die fehlenden Gigs langsam das Interesse am mixen/auflegen/spielen anderer Tracks weitgehend verloren, bin dafür aber noch viel mehr in die Welt des Produzierens eingetaucht. Dabei habe ich auch gemerkt, dass ich mit meiner eigenen kreierten Musik noch viel mehr das ausdrücken kann, was ich mit meiner Musik vermitteln möchte. Mir ist klar geworden, dass mein musikalischer Weg so weitergehen wird, damit ich live spielen kann, wenn Corona wieder vorbei ist.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
Den Mix habe ich aus lang-andauernden unveröffentlichten Projekten und spontanen live sets zusammengebaut, es war mir hier besonders wichtig zu zeigen, dass ich nicht nur ruhigen ambient-lastigen downtempo spiele, sondern meine Liebe auch schnelleren, bassbetonten Beats gilt.
🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Ich wünsche mir, dass wir alle diese Phase nutzen, um mehr zu uns selbst zu finden, damit wir - wenn es wieder vorbei ist - uns offener und empathischer begegnen können, fern von Spaltung, Abgrenzung und Meinungsverschiedenheiten. Corona ist nicht nur ein Virus, nein, es ist auch mit vielen anderen Dingen verknüpft. Es zeigt sich viel mehr, was wir Menschen noch als Kollektiv zu lernen haben. Ich bin mir sicher, dass die Musik stark dazu beitragen wird uns nach dieser Phase einfach und schnell wieder zu connecten und mit offenen Armen zu begegnen.

Willing Witness (https://soundcloud.com/willingwitness) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 057
🗯🗯 How did Corona change your artist life?🗯🗯
Gigs and events were cancelled and beside podcasts and streams everything got put on hold. What I can appreciate about it: It slowed down my whole life. Usually there is not enough space between one event and the next, which is sometimes sad: I love to reflect, to let it sink in, to see what a moment did to me. Now is the time for that. Right now I discover the quality of the space in between. Experiencing a state of being in the gap might end up in inspiration for new ideas and creative work.
Now I also have more space to develop projects that I had in mind for a long time.
To replenish personal and artistic energy resources plus getting enough sleep again feels very healthy.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded in the basement of Gängeviertel in Hamburg which was used for parties and concerts until March.
Gängeviertel offers a DJ rehearsal space for female and nonbinary identifying flox. Here we cofounded our collective Kosmos&Krawall (@kosmosundkrawall) that was and still is an amazing support throughout my music and nightlife journey. Together we hosted parties, met on a regular bases and offered DJ Workshops for beginners. So for me the space is very charged with supportive energy and made me feel at home. Diving into the strong Techno vibes and feeling the bassline in my stomach brought up many memories. My body was flushed with a hormon rush, I felt excited and incredible happy.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
My wish is that cultural spaces, especially alternative and sub cultural spaces will survive. Without them cities would be nothing but a place to work and shop, which would turn out to be a very sad life. We all need public spaces where we can meet, enjoy and inspire each other. Also I would wish that all the important discourses on how to act respectfully, to welcome diversity and to truly care for each other and our environment will be remembered and continued! I hope that the work that so many humans already did in this field will remain alive and can become more strong as soon as we can safely gather again.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
I had to stop touring. I got stuck in Canada on a North American tour and didn't come back to Berlin until October. I was living in Berlin for the past 2 years but unfortunately, I couldn't stay because there was no gig work, so I'm in Canada waiting until things start back up again. Working on music.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded it in Canada in my hometown of Thunder Bay at home. I feel good because I'm up north and isolated from the virus. Just staying put until the virus chills out and I can return to Berlin again.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I'd like to return to Berlin or Toronto where I also have lived for a long time. It depends on work. I'm starting a new radio show and might have to go to Toronto. I love both cities and they have great electronic music scenes so either will work for me.

She Knows (https://soundcloud.com/sheknowsmusic) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 054
🗯🗯 How did Corona change your artist life?🗯🗯
When the first lockdown started in March 2020, we were 2 weeks ahead of a touring year that would have been amazing! Besides our hand-picked home-favourite festivals in the summer where we love to play, like Fusion Festival, Garbicz Festival and Sa Terza Metari, we were co-producing with our visual artist Robert Metzner (Conzum) in collaboration with the Zeiss-Planetarium in Jena, a 3D surrounding sound and visual show including dance interventions. This show is for sure something we are willing to retake as soon as it will be possible again. We also had some bookings confirmed in Africa for which we were coordinating a Mini Tour together with NAPALMA music.
Well, some things still happened and other got cancelled, but completely new things came up as well.
Last year She Knows got two sponsorships from the Musicboard Berlin. The first one was to produce our second EP Natural Medicina and it’s official videoclip released last June on Sirin Music, for what we had the chance to collaborate with other amazing international artists. The second sponsorship we received in October 2020 for the inland residency at Sternhagen Gut, Uckermark, curated by Gudrun Gut. During this residency Marcel and I had the chance to explore other ways of composing together. We have been using and experimenting the available technologies which allows us to work with physical absence. The Pandemic forced everyone to find new ways of working together.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
This mix is made with Love and admiration for our beloved and impressive electronic music scene of Berlin. It somehow felt like a fantastic puzzle featuring great tracks of what has been our influences over the past decade.
Basically what we had over the past 10 years in Berlin, not only in terms of electronic music production, not only in terms of hosting international and eclectic live acts - the best of the best in electronic and dance music. Berlin has been that stage hosting the best dancers. In electronic music dancing people are the source, dancing people are the stars. With this we just want to say: THANKS, BERLIN
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
We do not know in which form we will evolve, we do not know what kind of events we might be able to play at in the future. But in terms of music, we are not in a hurry, we compose when we feel the inspiration to compose, we record when we have the time or money to do so, we release when we have something to show, this is the way we like to curate our project.
For the moment we can only say that from March on, we will retake the production of our upcoming EP, that resulted from material recorded during the artist residency at Sternhagen Gut. We also joint recently the studio of Zeno Mainardi in Mitte, having again a studio room changes everything, and we are very happy about it. We will be back soon!

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
I've spent a lot of time in my Studio before Corona and as an Artist i'm used to that. Being in the studio 24/7 is nothing new for me. I had even more time to work on my own projects and a new collabo. with Andrea Oliva which comes out on his upcoming Label ''All I NEED''. I also did another tune with Nic Fanciulli , Matthias Tanzmann and some remixes for 2021. The only bad thing that changed my artist life was that i wasn't able to travel and do my gigs.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I've recorded it in my private club which gives me always this club feeling when i do my mixes, of course it isn't the same but at least a drop on a hot stone than nothing. I miss traveling and being in a real club with friends and all these dancing people.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I wish that everyone gets well soon especially those who got really affected by the pandemic. It took us almost a year but we gonna come back stronger than ever!

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Obwohl ich finanziell von der Musik abhängig bin, hatte ich das Glück, die momentane Situation als willkommene Pause ansehen zu können. Nach 15 Jahren Auflegen tut es gut, die Perspektive wechseln zu dürfen, und mich daran zu erinnern, wo meine Anfänge liegen. Ich habe in der ganzen Zeit nur einen einzigen Gig angenommen, aber bin in den letzten Monaten immer mal wieder in Clubs gegangen um dort alleine für mich zu spielen, wozu es mich vor Corona schon lange nicht mehr gedrängt hatte. Diese bis jetzt 9-monatige Pause hat mir wirklich geholfen, aufzutanken und mich neu inspirieren zu lassen.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
Ich habe den Mix bei mir zuhause während des zweiten Lockdowns aufgenommen. Das hieß, dass ich Musik online bestellen musste; und natürlich gehe ich lieber in den Plattenladen. Außerdem nehme ich nicht gerne und deshalb sehr selten Mixe auf. Irgendwie konnte ich diesen Mix aber genießen, was sicher an der neuen besonderen Situation und dem fehlenden Druck liegt.

Completely. I re-started my career as a dj/producer in 2019 and started off great with some nice releases and cool gigs all over europe. In 2020 I really wanted to go further, and all of a sudden every gig was cancelled.
Throughout the summer I got to play a lot of live-streams, and I'm really grateful, that so many people tried to get the best out of this situation and started to organize digital shows. Putting good digital shows and live-streams on is always a lot of work, so I'm really happy, that I could be a part of this.
But of course, I still miss the real life gigs a lot. In the end of the summer I had some beautiful shows when lock-down was lifted temporary, but they only felt like a little break. And now, we are in a real lockdown in germany.
Still, I'm part of many projects and I'm happy that I meet a lot of people in the digital world. I always try to find positive things - and even if its quite hard - there are the little moments which make you happy and give a meaning to all this.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded the mix at my home. I'm there more or less most of the time, since November almost every day and I tried to make it my little hideout. After all those months of Corona I feel exhausted, and still confused about what will come, but I hope for the best and I'm happy, that so many people engage in a solidary way.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I hope, that we will get back soon to some kind of normal. I think it will take longer than we think and hope - and some things will never go back to normal again. As far as I remember all humans are capeable of dealing with difficult situations, so I really do believe: We will make it through this!
But in order to do so we need to watch out for the people who need our help, who need our attention, and our love.
So please: stay caring, and keep thinking of one another.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
As ambiguous as it is, there is no way to answer it simply. On the one hand, I do miss the audience, the intimacy and the energy one can create and share through listening and dancing during a live DJ performance. On the other hand, an artist is an artist and remains an artist regardless of what is happening in the “outer world”. From this perspective, everything that is happening can be good as a point of departure for further artistic explorations and experiments, and I am simultaneously really thankful for the spaces and the rhythms the current Pandemic has opened up. At the moment I am working more and more in the context of galleries and museums and happy for my recent collaboration with the Gallery Wedding in Berlin. Also, I am discovering more and more rudimental ways of working with sound, frequency and vibration and currently develop my practice as a Gong player offering different types of experiences to different audiences in unusual settings. There is always a deeper integration and meaning to everything that unfolds around us. I think I will leave it here but you can always hit me up if you'd like to know more.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I have recorded my mix live in my studio in Berlin, with a beautiful view into the backyard of an old German building.
I am on the last floor here and my main view is a massive chunk of the sky, which is also a sonic space I am always aware of when working on my sets. It is a bliss to say the least.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Whether post- Corona or with Corona I am not wishing anything for myself per se. My wish is that this situation is a profound lesson and a wake-up call for everyone to be more where you are in the moment, in here and now. Be present in every day and be in the moment.
This is pretty much the same as what I expect from a live performance as well, creating a moment of presence together as a shared common experience. There is only now. The more we are here the better it is for all of us. Also, I think of my sets as reminders to arrive and become more aware and conscious about what is happening in this very moment.

Marco Resmann (https://soundcloud.com/marco-resmann) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 014
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Corona turned my artist life completely upside down. Even though I still had the chance to play a few shows during the summer, the majority of my gigs got cancelled. I have no proper income since March and I’m depending on financial support from the government since a few months. It was not always easy to be creative in the studio. Mentally 2020 was a rollercoaster with a lot of ups and downs but I’ve found new inspiration and produced plenty of new music.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded it in my studio at Holzmarkt. I mixed new tunes with older ones and added a couple of my own edits, as always. Since I’m not playing regularly anymore I really appreciated the opportunity to do a mix for you guys. It is something I always loved to do and it reminds me of my first steps as a DJ, making mix tapes for my friends.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Since the pandemic will remain amongst us for quite a while, I do not really think about it. Even with the vaccine we will have to live with it for a long time. So when is after Corona? Autumn 2021 or even somewhen in 2022?
I definitely wish that we all get off it unscathed and healthy. Regarding my actual job I wish that the culture and event industry gets finally the right respect and support from the government and that we will be able to continue somehow after Corona. At the moment it doesn’t look promising even though there’s plenty of money to help.

Kraftfuttermischwerk (https://soundcloud.com/das-kraftfuttermischwerk) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 048
🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Unser Künstlerleben quasi ist komplett eingefroren. Wir hatten übers Jahr zwei Gigs. Die haben wir sonst mindestens pro Monat. Es ging halt nichts. Zum Glück sind wir davon finanziell nicht abhängig, weil wir eigentlich andere Dinge machen, um unseren Lebensunterhalt einzufahren. Ich würde da mit jenen, die mit dem Auflegen ihr Leben finanziell meistern, nicht tauschen wollen. Und dennoch fehlt das. Nicht nur finanziell, vor allem eher soziokulturell. Die gemeinsame Eskalation, das Ausrasten, die kollektive Ekstase. Das sind ja auch Gründe, warum wir das, was wir da machen, so lieben - und das war halt ab März einfach mal so weg. Gänzlich. Das fehlt nicht wenig. Und dennoch sind die Maßnahmen natürlich notwendig und auch richtig. Das ist vielleicht das größte Dilemma an all dem - man kann das nicht mal irgendwem übelnehmen oder seinen Ärger auf irgendwen projizieren. Weil es ist wie es ist und weil es genau so sein muss.
Und wir konnten aufgrund der vielen freien Zeit endlich mal unser Album fertigmachen, das nun Ende Dezember erscheinen wird. Einer der wenigen Vorteile.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
Wir haben beide ein bisschen die Schnauze voll von unseren Soundcloud-Streams. Seit Monaten nur noch Bummelschneckentechno auf allen Kanälen. Nicht selten sehr uninspiriert, sehr lame. Ich kann es, bis auf wenige und doch gute Ausnahmen, nicht mehr hören. Also dachten wir so, „lass mal das Bums-Zeug von früher spielen. Das kennen doch die ganzen jungen Leute ja gar nicht nicht mehr!“ Und so war das. Dann ballerten wir im Studio die Monitore fast auf Anschlag, machten die Fenster auf (weil Rudi unbedingt beim Auflegen im Studio rauchen wollte und da wird halt eigentlich nicht drin geraucht) und dachten, dass irgendwer der Nachbarn die Bullen rufen würde. Was keiner tat. Wir tranken viel zu viel Schnaps, Rudi kam irgendwann mit Sekt um die Ecke und ging erst gegen 04:30. Es ist mal wieder alles komplett eskaliert - und wir lieben das. Das Studio stinkt immer noch wie eine Berliner Raucherpinte zu Beginn der 90er Jahre. Aber das war das den Abend wert.
🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Gigs, Festivals, Meeresrausch, gemeinsame Eskalation, das Ausrasten, die kollektive Ekstase. Und Pyros.

Nadine (https://soundcloud.com/nadine_hennig) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 047 (Crew-Love-Special)
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Recording this mix was quite special for me. Normally I did my recordings at the club where I used to work as a Nightmanager. As its closed due to Corona I had to think of another plan. So I locked myself in with a bunch of my favorite records on a friday night and did a vinyl only podcast (as I don’t have digital stuff at home). At the beginning it was not easy to get into the vibe as I am really missing the dancefloors but after some time it all flowed naturally.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I hope the scene will be refreshed. The more I had time to think about everything the more I see the point that the scene was a bubble just about to burst anyway. It has lost its roots and what it is all about. Now I had the time to rethink where I musically came from and where or what I want to be in the future.
The most important thing for me is that no more clubs will have to close. Fingers crossed. I am really missing these special places.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
This corona period feel so surreal, to have the whole world stop was a total shock to me. Personally and professionally I felt the effects of the pandemic. My tours were cancelled and shows too. Touring and playing shows is one of favourate things to do. Apart from being my job it’s also my passion. Because the shows were cancelled this had major impact financially as touring in major contributor to my livelihood.
Apart from the big major downside because of the pandemic. I tried to stay creative and be opened to a new reality. It was challenging mentally to keep the mind from being depressed, but I managed.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
The mix was record at my studio in Berlin. I really took my time to find the right songs to create a journey and give the listener a grimpse into my world.
I’m really happy how it came out and hope the everyone can feel the warmth and vibe.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I wish for a new perspective, for more humanity and compassion and more dancing.

Friz (https://soundcloud.com/friz_official) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 046
🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Mir fehlen definitiv die Tanzflächen der Clubs und Festivals ungemein. Ich hab es immer als großes Privileg gesehen, die Musik vor Menschen spielen zu dürfen, die man selbst am besten findet. Dieses Privileg weiß ich auf jeden Fall deutlich mehr wertzuschätzen.
Ich bin finanziell nicht komplett abhängig von der Musik, emotional aber auf jeden Fall. Dieser leichte Druck, wenn man die nächste Platte auswählt und es eigentlich der richtige Track für den richtigen Moment sein müsste. Wenn dann 5 Minuten später das Publikum die eigene Vorhersage bestätigt, ist das ein ziemlich überragendes Gefühl. Das vermisse ich ziemlich.
Ein paar Auftritte zwischen beiden Lockdowns sind zum Glück geblieben. Ob das nun im hiesigen Hotel oder in meinem Residentclub Luna ist, solange ein paar Leute inklusive mir einen guten Bar-Abend haben, reicht das erstmal aus.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
Den Mix habe ich in meiner Wohnung in Kiel aufgenommen. Die Tage davor waren für mich etwas verwirrend aber durch den Mix habe ich vieles sortiert und danach ging es mir deutlich besser. Ich habe sowohl Vinyl als auch digitale Tracks gewählt und gegen Ende einen unreleased Track von der zweiten Bladehouse Compilation. Ein junger Mann beschreibt im Break ganz blumig, was viele der Hörer vielleicht vermissen ;)
🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Natürlich wünsche ich mir, dass Clubs/Festivals und alle anderen Kulturschaffenden wieder auf die Beine kommen und auch ich wieder meinen Teil dazu beitragen kann. Besonders wünsche ich mir das für den Luna Club, der seit 4 Jahren meine musikalische Heimat in Kiel ist und kurz vor Corona von drei jungen Freunden übernommen wurde. Außerdem wäre es schön, wenn noch mehr meiner Produktionen ihren Weg in die Sammlungen anderer Künstler finden. Ich bin zuversichtlich!

Mila Stern (https://soundcloud.com/mila-stern) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 045
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
I’m not on the road anymore, obviously. I really miss travelling and since work and private interests are so much connected as a DJ I also miss many of my friends who I don’t see anymore. Since March I had many ups and downs. There were times where I was really un-inspired. Sometimes I need these tired, grumpy days after a long weekend to get into my music mood. The only feedback on your work is happening online such as comments and likes and followers - which are super nice, don’t get me wrong - but this feedback doesn’t replace a crowd on a party.
To play a few small festivals and Open Airs this summer got me back on track. I took many mental photographs to have the memories of these moments to keep them as some sort of tool to remember them over the hard winter time.
I try to stay active. With the beginning of the pandemic I started a weekly radio show together with my friend and colleague Mira until summer. We continue doing this irregular now. You will find my newest track you will find in this Podcast. It will be released December 1st on the 43 Katzen tanzen auf’m Tisch Compilation at Kiosk I.D.. I’m motivated now to continuously work on my own productions - finally!
Another for me very important project is working with the Bewegungsfreiheit solidarity party crew which raises money and awareness for refugees, their support structures and their situation in and around Berlin. In times like these you need new ideas how to do that without throwing a party. There is an ongoing donation campaign on an online platform. In the next weeks there are some nice Bewegungsfreiheit merchs available such as hoodies and shirts - great Christmas/ end of the year gift by the way ;) In addition to that we plan to release a compilation next year with tracks of close artists.
And of course we - my Station Endlos crew and I - have to figure out how to adapt our plans to the current situation. We were supposed to open our venue in Halle in April this year. Usually the crew builds many festival stages during the summer which was only possible in a very limited way this year. Of course until now we couldn’t open our new home as we hoped. Let’s see which shenanigans we can plan for the upcoming year.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded the mix at home in my small cozy apartment in Berlin. I was in quarantine because I had contact with someone who got tested positive. Luckily I don’t have any symptoms. I’m very good in spending time on my own and I don’t get bored that quickly. But when I recorded the podcast I slowly felt the insanity of not being able to leave my one room apartment, not even for a walk outside or to bring the trash down slightly kicking in.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
There are so many: world peace, everything for everyone until every person is happy, a healthy planet with healthy people and so on and so forth… Well, maybe a bit smaller: I really don’t want this situation to be the new normal. I want to play in a crowded, dark and dirty club again with smart and beautiful people and everyone less than 1 1/5 meter dancing from each other.

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Als DJ und Organisator von einem Festival war und ist diese Situation besonders herausfordernd. Die ersten Monate waren hauptsächlich von Unsicherheiten und Ängsten geprägt. Die Kraft diente allein der Rettung des Freiland Festivals und die damit verbundenen neuen und unangenehmen Aufgaben. Das war energieraubend und das Ende stand monatelang offen. Vor allem fehlte mir rückblickend der “Festival-Sommer“. Neben dem Auflegen und Arbeiten, was auch meinen Lebensunterhalt sichert, fehlen mir die alljährlichen Begegnungen mit Menschen, die ich in den letzten 20 Jahren kennen lernen durfte.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
In der wunderschönen Rostocker Altstadt, bei mir in der Bude. Gut 😊
🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Eine Gesellschaft die sich nicht noch weiter spaltet. Dabei ist es in unserer Szene wichtiger denn je, die wenigen Freiräume weiter zu schützen.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Corona challenges all of us in different ways. Being locked down and realising that we are facing a fundamental crises economically and socially I got very depressed and scared. That’s why also my creativity got massively influenced by the crises. Like for most of us I suggest it took some time to adapt to the new situation. After leaving behind the depressing vibes I started again to work on my music and especially on my studio. I moved to Funkhaus and built a new space. I had enough time to built a really comfortable and professional studio and that’s why I’m more than happy now to have created Studio Balthasar where I offer Mixing and Production Services beside producing my own music. As artist I suffered but as sound engineer being part of the music production scene I got finally the chance to make the next step.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Of course I recorded the mix live at Studio Balthasar. Good acoustical treatment and loud speakers made it possible the get at least some vibes while playing. I felt happy to play a set again but on the other side you always start to remember how it was to play live in clubs. I miss it.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I just hope that the corona crises won’t eliminate too many venues and artists of our scene. A lot of people are struggling and I’m sure that sooner or later we gonna see rising and established venues and artists fall and quit. I hope that we will be strong enough to maintain the ambitions and to stay motivated to continue influencing our electronic music scene with music and events in the future.

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Ganz klar, keine Gigs – vor allem am Anfang. Da erschienen auf einmal solche Formate, wo dir andere beim Auflegen zuschauen. Nicht wirklich mein Ding. Es hat zwar Spaß gemacht sich die etwas kreativeren Varianten auszudenken aber das Gefühl wie beim Spielen im Club oder auf Festivals blieb da aus. Auch die Arbeit im Kollektiv schlief ein bisschen ein. Im Sommer hatte ich kurz das Gefühl alles sei vorbei oder wir könnten uns irgendwie damit arrangieren. Es gab immerhin Gigs auf Festivals, leider unbezahlt. Corona hat mein Leben nun insofern verändert, dass ich mir händeringend einen Job in einem anderen Bereich suchen muss. Mein Studium hab ich zum Glück während der Krise hinter mich gebracht. Die Jobsuche hierin hätte ich wahrscheinlich ohne Corona ziemlich entspannt angehen lassen und nicht das erstbeste genommen.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
Den Mix habe ich im Zimmer meines Mitbewohners an etwas gewöhnungsbedürftigen „Deanon“ Playern aufgenommen. Gepaart mit ein paar technischen Unsicherheiten war es natürlich ein schönes Gefühl „meine Mucke“ über eine halbwegs anständige Anlage zu hören. Ich habe mir die ganze Zeit die Frage gestellt, ob der Mix mehr „clubstyle“ werden soll oder, ob es doch etwas chilligeres und mehr für zuhause werden sollte. Es ist eine bunte Mischung geworden. Fragen über Fragen also, die vielleicht diese fragwürdige Zeit etwas wiederspiegeln.
🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Ich wünsche mir für jetzt und die Zeit nach Corona, dass alle meine geliebten Orte der Subkultur und auch die der Kultur allgemein bestehen bleiben und die Krise überstehen. Ich wünsche mir, dass DJs, die sich eventuell nicht so einfach nach einem anderen Job umschauen können, irgendwie über die Runden kommen. Ich hoffe, dass aus der Krise Positives gezogen wird und niemand den Mut oder die Hoffnung in das was wir tun verliert. Ich habe mich nämlich auch schon sagen hören „Ich glaub das mit dem Auflegen ist jetzt wohl durch“. Es wird vielleicht erstmal etwas anders aber ich sehe auch, dass einige Menschen fantastisches auf die Beine stellen und so werden wir das Ganze auch überstehen. Lasst rollen diggis. ❤

Katzenohr (https://soundcloud.com/katzenohr) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 040
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
During the last months I have had hardly any live gigs and events with my collectives anymore. This has been tough, for in my perception, the symbiotic relationship between myself at the DJ deck and the crowd on the dancefloor is crucial for a satisfying DJ set. I need to see the people’s reaction to my music, losing it all, sweat dripping down their bodies - then I create a matching soundtrack. This got harder with social distancing and memories of former events fading, so I started looking for Inspiration at other places, mainly my favorite music genres metal and trap. This set undeniably reflects these influences.
Still I am impressed by all the projects that emerged from the electronic underground in no time during the first lockdown to fill the creative void. This also made us start our PRIZM:Berlin podcast to keep on providing a platform for non cis-male artists. In addition, I was looking for creative outlets that would not be limited by Covid as much - back to my sewing machine, guitar and writing. My self-designed top hats made some people very happy. Let’s see what will become of my crazy song lyrics.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded it on my rather outdated yet very sonorous home stereo system. My dad gave me the amp when I was moving out, I assume it’s about my age. The mixer is a „permanent loan“ from a friend when I first started DJing in 2013.
The sound of the mix strongly reminds me of my last festival gig this year at Milde Möhre. Some seemed confused at first, but soon downtempo lovers and techno fans were dancing side by side. It was a very intense experience - all made possible thanks to a rigorous hygiene routine.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Most societies proudly define themselves through art and cultur, Germany even more so, yet they provide so little support. Artists are being idolized and at the same time they belong to the poorest in this country. Unfortunately we’re not as good at lobbying as the car industry. For all I care, those politicians can go and listen to some engines roaring on the radio as soon as the Pandemie will be claimed „under control“, but don’t they dare visit our concerts! There is no life without art, but that’s where we are heading, and I want them to know that - and grant it the appreciation und support it deserves, once and for all.

Bonfante (https://soundcloud.com/bonfante) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 039
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
When Corona arrived i was starting to feel more and more confident and comfortable in musical terms on many different levels: i had as many festival and international bookings ahead as never before, i was building up a label, working as musical consultant for different festivals, working on interesting studio projects, etc etc. Most of this, suddenly freezed and i was sunk into a (creative) blockade. Spending so much time at home, thousands of km away from my family was not easy and in order to clear my head i decided to fulfill a long time dream: dive into the modular world. So i used the lockdown to learn about it and start to build my own rack, bit by bit, module by module. It is still a humble, small rack and i have just started to scratch the surface of modular synthesis, but this has been a great medicine for me in order to find again my creative focus and develope further my approach to music.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I only do a few podcasts a year because i like to approach them as something rare and special. I always spend quite some time, digging for the right music. Recording this one for United We Stream, has been very special for me, because it is very meaningful what this platform has achieved in such a short and difficult moment. Therefore i wanted to record a special mix, that fully represented my musical world these days. I prepared it at home, recorded it in the studio and it felt quite good when i finished it, as i was able to translate into the mix everything i wanted musically.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
At a personal level: to be able to make again my living from and with music. In general: i can´t believe ( i don´t want to!) that all this pandemia won´t bring us any good lessons...so that´s my wish for the time after Corona: certain economic, social and emotional changes on a structural level.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Partly, probably similar to most artist. Instead of playing gigs, I play live streams and sometimes small (mostly open air ) events with Corona restrictions, which all feels pretty strange. On the bright sight, the pressure is off and you got more time for other things. I used the opportunity to take a little break from social media, be more in the studio and to found a start up.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
At home. Recording podcasts is actually the only thing that feels exactly the same as before.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Foremost, I hope the electronic scene will get through all this well. And of course I hope, even though it doesn’t seem very likely, festivals and club events will be able to take place without any major restrictions.

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs und Kollektiven fühlt ihr euch verbunden? 🗯🗯
Wir zwei betreiben seit Anfang 2020 das Luna in Kiel, sind jedoch seit Jahrzehnten im Clubbusiness als DJs, Mitarbeitende oder auch Azubis umtriebig.
Für dieses Set haben wir uns hinter die Decks vom Luna geschwungen und haben über 60 Minuten zusammengemixt, wobei wir uns dem zum Großteil unveröffentlichten Fundus unseres frisch gegründeten Club Labels „Luna Club Records“ und „Empore Music“ bedient, wo wir ebenfalls federführend aktiv sind. Den Club haben wir zu einer Bar umkonzipiert und geben so während der schwierigen Zeiten lokalen KünstlerInnen so noch einen der wenigen Orte um Musik aufzulegen.
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
Seit 2000 ist der Luna Club in Kiel einer der Knotenpunkte für Musik, Kunst und Subkultur. Nach nun fast zwei Jahrzehnten folgt der nächste Schritt - es war Zeit für ein Musiklabel „Luna Club Records“. Ziel ist es Musik der KünstlerInnen zu veröffentlichen, welche nicht nur den Sound des Clubs prägen und geprägt haben sondern auch zum Umfeld des Kieler Cluburgesteins gehören. Alle damit erwirtschafteten Einnahmen kommen der Clubrettung zu gute, um die finanziellen Einbußen der andauernden Pandemie ein wenig zu kompensieren, bis ein Ende dieser Ausnahmesituation einsetzt. Alles unter dem passenden Porjektnamen „Save The Night“.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Corona has been a very weird time for me. The first few months of the lockdown I actually played more than I did before because I got invited to do a ton of streams. However it is obviously not the same as playing in front of a crowd at all. So even though that felt odd or not as satisfying as standing in front of a full dance floor some very surprising and positive things came of that.
The streams gave people access to experience a ‚live set‘ that wouldn’t have had that otherwise and are usually mainly stuck to Soundcloud sets. I even got messages from people saying they are hoping that streams will continue even after the pandemic as they live in areas that are far off any clubs. On top of that I also got messages from people saying how much it helped and encouraged them in this difficult time. One even from a nurse working in a corona ward, that one actually moved me to tears.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
At home, feeling a bit chilly, realizing autumn is coming and dreaming of better days.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I hope that Corona instills a new sense of appreciation for what we have and what freedom we enjoy. Also to understand how much work goes into creating the clubs and parties we all love and have taken for granted. This is already happening with the few events that are taking place here in Berlin and I hope it continues on once the pandemic is over.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Completely, but honestly not only to the worst. I have a daughter at home, she's 15 months now and I see her growing and doing the next steps every day. As a touring artist this won't be possible as I'm in the studio all weekdays and touring all weekends. Concerning the business: I never complain, I try to find solutions. Infact, Corona is the biggest challenge for all of us people being part of the music and event industry but it's also important to never loose our optimism and our smile, although the challenge is tough and sometimes hopeless. We all have to stand together, talk to each other, try new things and come together for new projects and possibilities. It's important to keep the social interaction alive. We all share the same troubles and follow the news everyday. Really no one can't wait for the day when we all will be back but there are still many questions left. All the questions that surrounds us every day since the first day when clubs have been closed in March 2020.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Oh well, I do record all of my studio mixes at home while having a bottle of wine to get into the right mood. When I'm having a good wine, I'll mix the best tracks. The selection is made with some of my current and upcoming tracks and of course my current favorites.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I hope that everyone is safe and well. And that people take more care of each other, reflect things easier and slowly get back to normal. Whatever this "normal" will be. We artists want to get back on the stages, performing our music and I hope that everyone has kept it's inspiration and fire.

Deepneue (https://soundcloud.com/deepneue) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 035
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Music is freedom. Since the beginning of the pandemic I believe we all might sometimes feel trapped in a world that seems to create more questions than answers. For me, as an artist, these sensations of entrapment have on one side recreated the research of freedom and its mean and on other side the notions of responsibility and awareness. Being a black artist awoken in me the need to claim the place of the black community in the electronic dance music scene. The same scene that, many times unaware and ignorant, stigmatises, discriminates and frustrates so many of us black ravers, party-goers, dancers, and producers.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I created this podcast at home empowering fellow black producers and remixers on a dance journey traveling from house, deep or tech to techno and electro. Keeping my own deep-notic touch and unstoppable groove.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Dance as a tool and a reminder of where we come from and where do we actually want to go. Dance as an answer to this world that seems committed to live in fear, frustration and questioning. Enjoy your listening, Yours deeply.

🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation in Coronazeiten bei euch? 🗯🗯
Unser Künstlerdasein hat sich – wie bei den Meisten – grundsätzlich erst einmal um 180 Grad verändert. Mittlerweile versuchen wir aber immer besser mit der Krise als eine neue Normalität umzugehen. Das schafft uns Raum und Kreativität für Neues. Glücklicherweise hat unser Resident Club, das Harry Klein, zu Beginn der Krise relativ schnell mit Livestreams aus dem Club begonnen und wir hatten so die Möglichkeit zumindest eine Art von Öffentlichkeit für unsere Musik zu schaffen. Als wir erst einmal verstanden hatten mit den neuen Voraussetzungen umzugehen, konnten wir auch wieder unsere Leidenschaft zur Musik finden – selbst wenn erst Mal kein schnelles Zurück in Aussicht steht. So hatten wir beispielsweise selbst in diesem Jahr einen der tollsten Momente überhaupt auf dem Aware Festival in Brandenburg.

Nixe (https://soundcloud.com/ju_nixe) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 033
🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Die Veränderungen haben bei mir ziemlich schlagartig und sogar während des Auflegens eingesetzt. Eine halbe Stunde nachdem ich meinen Gig auf dem Tribal Gathering Festival in Panama angefangen hatte, kam jemand zu mir auf die Bühne und bat mich aufzuhören, da plötzlich das Militär vor den Toren stand und mit einem Lockdown drohte. Das Festival durfte zwar später weiterlaufen, aber für mich war dies der Moment, in dem sich alles geändert hat.
Wieder zu Hause habe ich dann aus dem Bedürfnis heraus, irgendwas zu tun, bei zwei Videostreams gespielt, allerdings hat mich dieses Format nicht wirklich überzeugt. Ich finde das einen traurigen Versuch, etwas zu ersetzen, das ohne persönliche Nähe nicht ersetzbar ist, deswegen habe ich es dann gelassen. Danach habe ich noch zwei Podcasts gemacht, einen für Tal der Verwirrung und nun diesen hier, für United We Rise 🙂
Bei meinem ersten Gig seit dem Beginn der Pandemie (auf dem Wumms Festival, der ersten Ausgabe der Festival-Reihe auf dem Wilde Möhre Gelände) durfte ich dann das Festival eröffnen. Als da die ersten Bässe aus der Anlage kamen, war ich ziemlich überwältigt und glücklich.
Ich vermisse die Festivals und das gemeinsame Tanzen sehr, aber wenn ich ehrlich bin, kann ich diese unfreiwillig auferlegte Auszeit auch genießen. Ich hatte diesen Sommer viel Zeit für Quality time mit Freund:innen und Familie, die hatte ich die letzten Jahre kaum.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei? 🗯🗯
Diesen Mix habe ich in unserem Massageraum aufgenommen, Corona bedingt musste unser „Spielzimmer“ dahin umziehen. Das hat mir ein bisschen ein Gefühl von Wellness gegeben, weil es so gut nach Massageöl riecht. Davon abgesehen vermittelt der Podcast denke ich ganz gut meine momentane Stimmung.
🗯🗯 Was wünscht du dir für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Ich wünsche mir einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit der Pandemie, in der Hoffnung einen Weg zu finden, uns unsere Feierkultur Stück für Stück zurück zu erobern, ohne uns und andere Menschen zu gefährden. Ich betrachte diesen Zustand nach wie vor als eine Phase, die hoffentlich irgendwann vorbei sein wird. Und ich hoffe inständig, dass all die kleinen und größeren alternativen Kultur- und Freiräume und ihre Künstler:innen und Kollektive diese Phase überstehen.

Darin Epsilon (https://soundcloud.com/darinepsilon) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 011
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
It changed virtually every aspect of my life as an artist. All my upcoming dates were cancelled overnight and any potential future gigs were put on hold indefinitely. My booking agency (which is now defunct) and I were in the middle of discussions with promoters in Argentina, Australia, Czech Republic, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Canada, and more.
I was touring Thailand when I started noticing the situation becoming very serious. The Full Moon Party, which is the largest gathering in Koh Phangan and a huge part of their economy, was suddenly stopped without warning. By the time mid-March came around, I was in Hawaii doing my last performance before all international flights were blocked and lockdowns began.
Running my record label Perspectives Digital has now become my full-time job. Mentally it’s been very challenging going from touring nearly every week down to zero, but thankfully there have been some positive things that came out of the pandemic. I’m spending more time at home and working on things that I previously didn’t have time for, such as studying German and watching production tutorials. I feel more connected with friends and family, plus I’m getting more sleep and staying healthier.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded the mix in my home studio feeling extremely honored. I moved to Berlin 3 years ago hoping to accelerate my music career. It was so exciting to be approached by the Berlin Club Commission and be asked to provide a guest mix for United We Stream. Thank you so much for the chance to participate in such a unique concept and opportunity!
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I hope things return to normal soon and the economy bounces back quickly. It would be great if clubs can keep public hygiene in mind even when we’re not fighting a pandemic.
If there’s one change I’d like to see going forward, it’s that promoters should not be so overly dependent on adding huge international acts to their lineups. I see this problem all the time when traveling to other countries.
Many times people don’t feel interested to attend a show or think they won’t have a good time unless the event has at least one big headliner. The truth is, these extremely overpaid “big names” are merely just hype and not worth the price of admission. The audience can often have just as good of a time listening to local DJ’s.
Local artists are the glue that hold this industry together and they deserve way more respect (and pay) than they’re currently getting! Don’t forget that every big headliner DJ you know started his or her career in small clubs.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
The truth is that although I try to see everything that happened from a global point of view, in the end it is impossible not to individualize and focus on oneself, its good and bad things.
The truth is that this new way of life which we have had since March has hit me hard. I always use the same comparison to describe how I have felt during these last months: I am that boxer who is in the corner of the ring and is being hit by the opponent and you do nothing but dodge the blows but in the end you always get one.
It has been a very difficult and hard time for me, I thought I was going to manage better but I have had very bad moments which have helped me to know myself better and to find, in a certain way, a stability / perception of reality which before was a mirage.
Right now I feel much better, I smile at life again and the waters have calmed down after a rather turbulent swell.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded this mix in my room, alone, but I felt accompanied by good vibrations and proper vibes.
The selection has been made basically by me but with some recommendations from my good friend Ori, to whom I am grateful for his musical wisdom which has accompanied me for years in all my performances.
For me music is happiness, joy, groove and I think there is nothing like HOUSE MUSIC to bring together all these feelings. It is what represents me and it is what I have wanted to transmit from beginning to end. Something for your mind, your body and especially for your soul.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
Let people kiss, hug each other on the streets, let love be seen / breathed on every corner, in every neighborhood. That people dance, that people go back to the clubs to dance and enjoy the music but always with respect and education among all. Taking care of the clubs, the scene, the workers and the other clubbers.
But above all, that we learn from what happened so that we don't trip over the same stone again.
Thanks a lot for having me on board guys. Much love amigos. ✘ FreedomB (Berlin) SC - https://soundcloud.com/freedomb FB - https://www.facebook.com/freedomBdj Insta - https://www.instagram.com/freedom_b_/

Punani (https://soundcloud.com/punanipunani) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 031
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Obviously, similar to all my fellow artist friends or event industries colleagues, this summer went quite different than we all originally planned. That long break was quite difficult for me personally, as I was used to a fast and busy life before the lockdown came. But also, it forced me to reflect, to connect in new ways with the people and culture around me and establish new networks through the internet. Musically, it brought to me many new gems, as I had time to dig even deeper than before and I finally found the time to start my own radio show, a dream I had for ages now. (Shoutout to Bandcamp: bandcamp friday was and is such a great invention in these times without a proper week structure and to support artists financially !) With more time on my hands, I was reading a lot about music culture and racist power structures and found some time to reflect on my own attitude towards the music that I am playing, as it is heavily inspired by music that is rooted in Black and queer communities, like Hip Hop and House. I feel that this pandemic made everything more visible, the good things and the bad things. The situation we as DJs, promoters, venues, artists and technicians are facing right now seems very scary and I think we all nearly lost hope in some moments. This is why projects like United We Stream and United We Talk are not only precious because of the important content and message they broadcast to a big international audience but also because the music and club culture community was able to stand in solidarity with each other as well as with people that were even more affected by the crisis during this pandemic.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded it in my second home: the main floor at Mensch Meier in Berlin. It was such a good experience, feeling the bass in my body and the music played on a proper sound system again after months of listening to the tunes in my apartment (with neighbours and flatmates). I wanted to record a mix that is representing my style of bass music I play in clubs and festivals usually, which means that this music is made to dance to, best case scenario: with a group of friends who are singing along some to basslines that they might recognize as it was sampled from a hip hop classic, while shaking their booties off. Playing this mix without this energy on an empty dancefloor was surely one of the strangest DJ experiences I had so far (closely followed by that one special dude on a festival last year who had this strong urge to explain to me how to use the crossfaders in the middle of my set, thanks for that again ;) ).
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
More solidarity. Caring for each other within our communities and caring for people who are made invisible in our society because they are living in camps on the European borders like Moria. More reflections on the power dynamics that also shape our beloved dancefloors. More actions to change these toxic systems like racism and sexism. And of course, good music to accompany this upcoming world peace. Thanks!

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
The time at home allowed me to work on plenty of music, crash course Cinema4D and After Effects to the point of professional use, save health, save money (and spend it immediately on new gear). I stopped gigging and bounced out the nightlife a while back to focus on my design career so I’m really fortunate to say that my professional life remained stable and only became more focused.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Digitized a few old records, bought some new stuff, recorded the mix at home with Traktor. I prefer it for podcasts. Seems to lend itself to longer, more chill blending. With vinyl or XDJ I tend to do a lot of quick cuts, fader/EQ tricks, and that can be a touch aggressive for home listening.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I miss intimate Jazz shows. I’d like those back. I want people to continue to be as sympathetic, empathetic as many (certainly not all) have become since the pandemic began. That’s a tall order, I suppose.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
I can’t say that 2020 is a bad year cause that would be a lie. On the contrary I can say that it helped me explore and extend my musical horizons more, find the time to finish my first EP with my good friend Chronis which will be released hopefully soon-ish, it gave me also time to reorganize my whole digital library and finally and also really important, gave me a lot of time for vacation which I couldn’t have had otherwise. So I really can’t say I was bored during this period. The only boring thing for me was hearing my friends saying that they were bored.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
Now as about this podcast, I’m really honored I had the chance to participate in it. I recorded it at home and I tried to implement my feelings into it and certainly everything that I love to play. I created a relatively low-speed deep trip that doesn’t exceed the 122 BPM. So basically music to have sex to... When I came to Berlin for the first time, I realized that DJs were obsessed with speed. Both of them. But especially in music. I just couldn't follow or dance to music that was played so fast and I was kinda bored in the beginning until I found out about parties and artists that played similar music to mine. This is the reason why I decided to kick the drums a bit slower this time.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
As about the future, that’s really uncertain. I’m a control freak that likes to organize everything in detail and in the beginning of the pandemic it seemed weird to me that it was out of my power to make plans for the future but I realized that nobody can do that so now I’m laidback and I just focus on my music which gives me happiness. I just wish that everything will get back to normal, or as some call it ‘’the new normal’’, really soon.
Now sit back, relax and enjoy the trip. Or just get up and dance. Your call.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
Of course, I felt some changes, but I can’t say that is was something big. Before the virus situation (except events) I worked a lot on my Youtube channel, label Siona and production. So, during the lockdown I stoped traveling but I didn’t stop working. I had more time to record new videos for my channel, worked on new releases, searched new music for Siona and chatting with listeners. I tried to use free time for other parts of my work. Also this helped me a lot to try don’t be focus only on the virus situation.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I have studio at home, where I usually record videos and this mix was recorded there.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I would like to say my wishes during these times. I think, time after virus will be a little bit easier than we have right now. I wish to all people to try to take from this situation something good, for example to do what you didn't have time for before or open something new for yourself and stay positive no matter what.

🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona euer Künstlerleben verändert? 🗯🗯
Naomi: Bis auf das ich keine Gigs mehr mit Partypeople habe, hat sich nicht viel verändert. Mir fällt besonders auf, dass die Leute (einschließlich mir) krass dankbar sind, für jede Möglichkeit auf so etwas wie eine kleine Party zu gehen und Musik zu hören. Tanzen zu gehen ist ein richtiges Bedürfnis. Das war mir vorher garnicht so bewusst. Aber klar, war ja auch alles selbstverständlich hier in Berlin, mit diesem großen Angebot. Als junger, aktiver Mensch hat man Bock andere Gleichgesinnte zu treffen und mit denen zu dancen und eine gute Zeit zu haben. Auf einmal sind diese Möglichkeiten nicht mehr da. Als jetzt in letzter Zeit ein paar kleine Gigs anstanden, hat mich die Energie der Leute umgehauen, dieses get-together, gute Musik, good vibes - das fehlt.
Natalie: Corona hat dank meines Hauptjobs glücklicherweise keinen Nachteil auf mein Künstlerdasein gehabt, es hat mir vielmehr die Möglichkeit bzw. den Freiraum gegeben mich voll und ganz der Musik zu widmen und neue Techniken auszuprobieren. Das Auflegen ist für mich etwas um meine große Leidenschaft zur Musik auszudrücken, was ich nicht missen möchte. Aber natürlich war es für mich sehr schade, dass die paar Bookings die ich für den Sommer geplant hatte nun leider nicht stattfinden konnten.
🗯🗯 Wo habt ihr diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es euch dabei? 🗯🗯
Diesen überhaupt ersten gemeinsamen Mix von uns, haben wir in Naomis Neuköllner Wohnzimmer aufgenommen. Wir sind schon unser halbes Leben lang best friends und träumen schon eine halbe Ewigkeit davon zusammen aufzulegen. Wir teilen beide die Leidenschaft zur House Music und schätzen unseren ehrlichen Austausch über Musik, weswegen wir uns bei der Trackauswahl sofort einig waren. Unser Groove miteinander stimmt, das gemeinsame Aufnehmen hat unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht und wir sind sehr stolz & happy über unser erstes gemeinsames Set.
🗯🗯 Was wünscht ihr euch für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona? 🗯🗯
Sekt auf Eis, Tanzen, Sonnenschein und Bass.

Guzy (https://soundcloud.com/davidguzy) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 026
🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs und Kollektiven fühlst du dich verbunden? 🗯🗯
Ich fühle mich am meisten mit unseren Leuten von Radikon verbunden. Wir sind zum größten Teil sehr eng befreundet und stehen somit im engen Austausch, sei es Musik oder auch alltägliche Dinge. Es gibt eine Menge Clubs die ich sehr schätze und in denen ich mich jedes Mal wie zuhause fühle, doch einen einzigen zu nennen geht nicht.
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei Euch? 🗯🗯
Die Situation ist schwer zu beschreiben. Ich würde sagen man schaut, dass man zurechtkommt. Man hält sich mit anderen Tätigkeiten über Wasser und macht die Musik dennoch, aber viel mehr aus Leidenschaft als zuvor und ohne jeglichen Druck. Diese Situation war so noch nie da und deswegen gilt es gerade jetzt das Beste für sich und sein Umfeld heraus zu ziehen. Mit dieser Einstellung kann ich ganz gut leben. Diese Erkenntnis kam allerdings auch erst mit der Zeit.

ander (live) (https://soundcloud.com/ander) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 025
🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs und Kollektiven fühlt ihr euch verbunden. 🗯🗯
Ich lasse mich gerne mit den verschiedensten Kollektiven, Freundeskreisen und Zweckgemeinschaften ein. Trotzdem arbeite ich vor allem beim Produzieren viel alleine im Studio, dann kann ich am besten voll eintauchen und bin auch am produktivsten. Mit Öppediä habe ich schon viele Parties veranstaltet, in Zürich, auf der Schatzalp und auf einem Märchenschloss in Frankreich. Mit meinem eigenen Label Unalike Music biete ich weniger bekannten Zürcher Live Acts eine Plattform. Gespannt bin ich auf das neue Label Was Wotsch welches gute Freunde von mir vor ein paar Wochen aus der Taufe gehoben haben. Die letzten Parties haben wir zusammen mit Les Belles de Nuit ausgerichtet, ein tolles Zürcher Partylabel welches Frauen in der elektronischen Musik fördert.
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei Euch? 🗯🗯
In Zürich ist die Situation scheinbar wieder einigermaßen normal, die Clubs öffnen wieder, man kann tatsächlich tanzen gehen. Aber wenn man genau hinschaut ist noch gar nichts wieder wie es war. Mit den momentanen Auflagen kann kein Club und keine Veranstaltung auch nur annähernd kostendeckend laufen. Und gleichzeitig werden die Unterstützungen nun gekürzt mit dem Argument dass die Auflagen nun ja gelockert wären. Auch bei uns sieht es schlecht aus für die Clublandschaft wenn es noch ein paar Monate so weitergeht wie jetzt. Dazu kommt dass das Publikum vorsichtig geworden ist, viele möchten gar nicht die Nacht in einem engen Keller mit unbekannten Leuten verbringen. Ich hoffe dass es bald Ideen gibt wie man trotz Distanz und Limitierungen zusammen feiern kann.

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs und Kollektiven fühlt ihr euch verbunden. 🗯🗯
Grundsätzlich haben wir mit Deep Stories viele tolle Clubs und musikalische Weggefährten kennenlernen dürfen. Aus musikalischen Weggefährten sind nicht selten nachhaltige Freundschaften entstanden, welche trotz eines großen Entfernungsunterschieds weiterhin fortbestehen und für die wir sehr dankbar sind. An vielen Orten auf dieser Welt mit offenen Armen empfangen zu werden - mit der Musik als einzige Verbindung - ist einfach überwältigend. Im Rahmen unserer Möglichkeiten unterstützen wir vielfältige Projekte, die in diesen herausfordernden Zeiten nicht nur den Erhalt der Club Szene fördern, sondern auch persönliche Existenzen sichern.
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei Euch? 🗯🗯
Tatsächlich entspannt, denn wir sind wohl auf. Derzeit steht unser zweites Release auf Deep Stories in den Startlöchern und der Vorverkauf auf Beatport hat bereits begonnen. Wir blicken gespannt in die Zukunft, auch wenn wir - aufgrund unser beiden Vollzeit Jobs abseits der Musik - gelegentlich mit langsamerem Tempo voranschreiten müssen. Wir hoffen im nächsten Jahr unsere erfolgreiche Veranstaltungsreihe Reihe, als auch unsere Release Partys fortsetzen zu können.
Uns ans Herz gewachsene Clubs in unserer Umgebung bangen um ihre Existenz, streichen teilweise elektronische Musik aus ihrem Programm - wir können es nur auf uns zukommen lassen und abwarten, auf welcher Tanzfläche wir wieder zum Tanz bitten können

JAMIIE (https://soundcloud.com/jamiie_jamiie) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 023
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
The loss of gigs and the resulting loss of income was of course the most drastic change. On the up side, it made me even more think about in which direction I actually want to go as an artist, especially regarding the sound I’m playing. After all, it’s a completely natural process to develop oneself further. Now I just have the feeling that it is going a little bit faster. Apart from this, I have played many live-streams which I never did before and I continue to work on my own productions.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded the mix at home in my living room.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
This is a good question. Of course, I would like the government to offer us a fair solution that will pull the event industry out of the not self-inflicted financial crisis and save it from bankruptcy. I wish that there were ways that we could start club operations safely during the pandemic. For the time after Covid-19 I wish that the new solidarity in our scene will be maintained and that people will continue to support each other as they currently do. I hope that the clubs have not died out and I am looking forward to hopefully many wonderful gigs.

Elli Altenberger (https://soundcloud.com/ellialtenberger) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 022
🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯
For me it was probably a little bit different than with other artists. I have the big luck that I am not financially dependend on DJing, which is great and I want to keep it that way.
Other than that … it is probably similar.
The reason I started DJing is because I love sharing my music, making people happy and making them dance. I really miss playing on a good soundsystem with people dancing and screaming. It is the best feeling ever to share a moment like this.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded the mix at my friend’s house- with my cousin also listening.
I loved it. My friends know I am also very excited to play for 2 people and I get nervous a lot. It is exciting stuff. Sharing your favorite tracks, opening up to people, sharing your current mood with them. I am not the one who talks a lot but rather make them listen in a different way. It was great - they said they liked it… so I sent it in. It’s always a good decision to trust your best friends.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
First of all I hope as many artists, light technicians, cleaning crews, bartenders and so on… that mainly work in clubs, bars or festivals can survive.
Many clubs already had to close, even more people lost their jobs, and most importantly their existence. Often they worked all their life to be able to support them and their family, doing what they love.
This Corona time also showed me how important clubs and partys are for LGBTQI+ people as it is not just a place to drink and hang out, it is a safe space for many people just like me. It is system-relevant. !!
I just hope that the one’s remaining won’t give up and be able to share love, inklusion, appreciation and just a good night out again. Of course I will hope everything will go „back to normal“. Let’s just hope this is possible one day.

Mehr is Mehr (https://soundcloud.com/mehrismehrberlin) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 021
🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs und Kollektiven fühlt ihr euch verbunden? 🗯🗯
Allen voran sind wir ein Teil der Wuza-Crew, was damit auch die stärkste Verbindung für uns ist. Die unermüdliche Ausdauer von Robert, dem Head of Wuza, auch in dieser Zeit Streams und inzwischen kleine Open-Air Veranstaltungen zu organisieren hat uns zumindest in Teilen die Musik und damit auch Hoffnung wieder gegeben.
In den letzten Jahren hat die Rummels Bucht einen hohen Stellenwert in unseren Leben bekommen und eine wesentliche Rolle in unserer musikalischen und persönlichen Entwicklung gespielt. Die Buchtcrew musste in den vergangenen Jahren viele Schlachten austragen und hat es mit beachtlicher Ausdauer mit mächtigen Gegner*innen aufgenommen. Schon lange war das Maß voll und nun müssen sie sich auf ihren letzten Metern in der gewohnten Location auch noch mit Corona auseinandersetzen.
Insgesamt solidarisieren wir uns mit allen Clubs und Kollektiven, die künstlerisch wichtige und politisch gute Arbeit machen. All die, die in diesen Tagen um ihre Existenz kämpfen und nicht aufhören, vielfältige Wege zu gehen, um Lösungen für die prekäre Situation zu finden und so eine Perspektive ermöglichen.
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
Wie bei allen, haben sich auch unsere Pläne für dieses Jahr grundlegend geändert. Insgesamt versuchen wir das Beste daraus zu machen, verbringen Zeit im Studio, treffen lange vermisste Menschen und sind viel in der Natur. Aber natürlich ist nicht jeder Tag gleich. Nicht an jedem Tag ist es möglich, optimistisch und zuversichtlich zu sein und unterm Strich ist einer unserer wichtigsten Lebensbereiche gerade nicht mehr da. Wir vermissen Musik auf lauten Anlagen, die Stimmung im Club und ganz besonders, vermissen wir euch.

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs / Kollektiven bist du verbunden und wie ist die Situation bei uech gerade? 🗯🗯
Ich bin mit dem Institut für Zukunft in Leipzig und dem ://about blank in Berlin verbunden. im ifz bin ich Resident, wirke an Veranstaltungsreihen wie der connwax, rillendisco und pillenrealitaet mit. im ://about blank arbeite ich in der Programmplanung und in der Technik. aktuell bin ich in Kurzarbeit. mein Fokus liegt derzeit auf der Anfertigung von podcasts. Ab und an flattert mal ein stream oder ein gig im […]-Garten rein, die ich sehr dankend annehme, da es momentan die einzige Möglichkeit ist mich musikalisch auszudrücken.
Beide Clubs haben ihre Außenbereiche krisenbedingt nutzbar gemacht. im ifz nennt sich dieser „Teergarten“ und im blank „:// Sektgarten“. in beiden Kultureinrichtungen geht es darum, die orte unter Einhaltung der Regeln weiter zu bespielen und als Club nicht in der Versenkung zu landen, die Bindung zur Community nicht zu verlieren und der Crew weiterhin einwenig Perspektive zu geben. so gut es geht einen Umgang mit der aktuellen Situation zu finden um das Gefühl des „lost seins" etwas entgegenzusetzen.
Clubs sind wichtige Einrichtungen für das kulturelle und auch soziale leben. die Situation, wann wieder aufgemacht werden kann, bleibt weiterhin unklar und ist für alle Clubs sehr bedrohlich. Ganz zu Beginn der Pandemie hat einer meiner Kolleginnen gesagt: „aufgeben ist keine Option!“ daran möchte ich weiterhin festhalten.

🗯🗯 How did Covid-19 pandemic changed your artist life?🗯🗯
This pandemic changed my artist life by not allowing me to reconnect with my musical friends and also not giving me the chance to connect with the audience on the dance floor. It made us as artists to perform on virtual performances. It made me to come up with ways to keep the music going.
🗯🗯 Where did you record this mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
I recorded this mix at home in my bedroom studio and I did many takes of the recordings because I was not happy with the other takes. This recorded take is the one I am happy with. I felt like exploring with different styles of electronic music on this podcast. I was going with the mood in each song.
🗯🗯 Where did you record this mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
The first thing I will do is to hangout with my friends and try to reconnect with each other because we lost touch. Secondly, I will visit my favorite spots and gearing up for the DJ life, getting ready to play shows and continue where we left off.

🗯🗯 How has Corona changed your artistic life?🗯🗯
Well, after stubbornly accepting the fact that I would not be spending the summer in Europe to visit dear friends and play shows I took a complete break from music things. I focussed on being quiet, being healthy and getting reacquainted with myself on a deeper level. This time for myself resulted in a burst of creativity! I have created more music over the span of the lockdown than I ever have before. I sure do miss playing and attending shows though. Things are slowly opening up here in Montreal though and I cannot wait to make people boogie again and dance to the city's wonderful artists and DJ's!

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life?🗯🗯
Corona changed everything. Feels more and more like a reset button, but I like the energy that I feel right now about doing new things with old friends and dj friends but also with new ones. In the lockdown we all had more time than usual to sort out things and these results of new ideas, projects, people unions etc will now arise. That's gonna be - and already is - very exciting.
🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯
At home. My little home studio got my most appreciated place in the last months. I felt happy since I just came back from a very little official festival and put all the memories and energy in the mix.
🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
That we all stay positive and put our effort in the creation of new concepts - I’m sure we will find more and more ways to constantly improve the possible balance between important safety issues and the feeling of being totally alive (again).

Vauh (https://soundcloud.com/davidvauh) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 016
🗯🗯 Wie hat Corona dein Künstlerleben verändert?🗯🗯 Im Grunde hat sich nicht viel verändert außer das ich keine Gigs mehr spiele! Musik ist nach wie vor Mittelpunkt meines täglichen Lebens. Ich nutze die Zeit fokussierter an meinen DJ-Skills und meinen Fähigkeiten im Studio zu arbeiten. Die Entschleunigung die die letzten Monate mit sich gebracht haben half mir festgefahrene Ansätze zu überdenken und auf neue Ideen zu kommen.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei?🗯🗯 Diesen Mix habe ich im leeren City Club aufgenommen. Die feelings dabei waren bittersweet. Da ich sehr perfektionistisch an Podcasts herangehe, ist das recorden eines Mixes wirklich Arbeit für mich. Bis die Trackselection stimmt und ich mit der Aufnahme zufrieden bin, kann das ein paar Tage dauern. Alles in allem hat es mir aber sehr Spaß gemacht mich wieder mal ernsthaft auf ein Set vorzubereiten und bin gespannt auf das Feedback.
🗯🗯 Wo hast du diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es dir dabei?🗯🗯 Ich wünsche mir das die Culture die Crisis gestärkt überdauert, gewisse Oberflächlichkeiten abgelegt werden und ein stärkerer Zusammenhalt spürbar bleibt. Außerdem freue ich mich auf die ersten Raves, die sicher ziemlich wild werden, für die ich die ein oder andere fiese Nummer gediggt habe. He He.

Daniele Di Martino (https://soundcloud.com/danieledimartino) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 009
- How Did Corona change your artist life?
The biggest cut was having no gigs anymore, otherwise I've continued producing music as always. Also, I’ve used my free time to train myself some other skills apart from music which I always wanted to learn. So far, I'm still getting through the crisis. I hope that the industry and I can work “normally” again next summer (fingers crossed).
- Where did you record the mix and how did you feel?
I've recorded the mix in my studio in Berlin. I felt good because I got invited from United We Stream which I think is a strong format. They’ve archived to connect with many culture-creating people from around the world in a very short time and have established a platform that draws attention to the problems of the industry, among other things.
- What are your wishes for the time after Corona?
In a very short time, strangers came together and help each other through the lockdown. It would be great if people are still open to connect with strangers and continue to help each other after Corona if their resources allow it.
Thanks for having me and hope you enjoy my mixtape.

Sous Sol (https://soundcloud.com/sous-sol) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 014
🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs / Kollektiven seit ihr verbunden? 🗯🗯
Die letzten 6 Jahren war definitiv das Uferlos in Luzern für uns die wichtigste Plattform/ Netzwerk/ Lokal und Wohnzimmer, welches Lukas mit einem Kollegen geleitet hatte.
Da haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, viel Zeit verbracht, Veranstaltet, getanzt und mindestens 1 Mal im Monat selbst hinter den Decks gestanden. Leider war genau vor einem Monat (trotz Corona) das Closing vom Uferlos… wie so oft: das Gebäude wird abgerissen und es gibt eine Überbauung.
Ansonsten fühlen wir uns extrem gut im Hive (Zürich) aufgehoben. Wir sind nun seit ca. 2 Jahren auch Resident im Binnenstock und spielen min. 1-2 mal im Monat im Hive. Ebenfalls in Zürich bei der Frieda's Büxe (Zürich) und Klaus Klub (Zürich). Das sind die Läden, die wir halt selbst mega feiern und letztendlich auch am meisten bespielen dürfen.
Hive Audio als Plattenlabel ist für uns sicher auch ein wichtiger Punkt. Wir sind im Team sehr gut miteinander befreundet und wir als Interpreten «Sous Sol» haben sehr starken Support von der ganzen Crew. Danke dafür!
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
In der Schweiz führt aktuell jeder Kanton eigenständig seine eignen Corona-Rules ein. Zum Beispiel in Luzern, wo wir leben, sind die Clubs letzte Woche auf max. 100 Personen reduziert worden. Vorher waren es 300 Personen… Somit finden aktuell praktisch keine Veranstaltungen statt.
45km neben uns in Zürich dürfen die Clubs weiterhin bis zu 300 Personen reinlassen, sofern die PartygängerInnen ihre Personalien angeben und alles korrekt erfasst wird. Dies bedeutet für viele Clubs eine schwierige Herausforderung - es finden enorm weniger Veranstaltungen statt. Es betrifft natürlich nicht nur das Nachtleben...
Für uns bedeutet es, dass wir zurzeit nur wenige Bookings haben. Es sind alles sehr spontane Geschichten, da keiner wirklich vorausplanen kann.
Durften zwar die letzten 4-5 Wochen glücklicherweise 2-3 Gigs spielen... aber der Forcast für die nächsten paar Wochen sehen ziemlich mies aus.
ABER: die Anfragen kommen eben sehr kurzfristig rein... mal schauen wie sich die die nächsten Wochen entwickeln. Vor allem National halt. International mussten wir einen Gig in Istanbul absagen und es sind keine weiteren Anfragen in der Pipeline.
Wir hoffen, dass sich die Situation um Covid19 bald wieder beruhigt und der Spuck endlich vorbei ist. Aktuell verbringen wir dafür sehr viel Zeit im Studio, geniessen unsere Zeit, Essen gut und machen uns aufs Comeback ready 😊
Groovige Grüsse aus der Schweiz Lukas und Teo (Sous Sol)

🗯🗯 Which clubs / collectives are you connected to? 🗯🗯 My favorite places to play in Vancouver are Open Studios and Gorgomish. Before the pandemic and before it all came to a screeching halt, I was blessed to have had the opportunity to travel the world and play at some of the greatest venues in front of the most amazing crowds. Here is a little shortlist:
Kater Blau in Berlin, Village Underground in London, De Marktkantine (with the Gardens of Babylon/ Wild As The Moon crew), Woomoon/ Storytellers at Cova Santa Ibiza and the Papaya Playa Project in Tulum, Public Works in San Francisco and Avant Gardner in Brooklyn, HNGR in Beirut, and the lovely Rambalkoshe family in Yerevan.
Let’s hope things will get back on track real soon.
🗯🗯 What is the situation like for you at the moment during Covid? 🗯🗯 Well like everyone else, I had big plans for this Spring and Summer with tours all over Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States. But given the current situation, I’m here at home in Vancouver, Canada.
My life now exists in 3 days: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It has definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions with lots of ups and downs. Some days I'm super motivated, inspired and I'm on top of everything. And then there are days that I have to drag myself out of bed and keep pushing myself to move forward. So it's definitely an interesting experience. I find myself being more grateful in regards to all the blessings that I have in my life, which helps me to be more mindful.
I’m keeping busy with different projects (both music related and also exploring other creative avenues), working on production, doing guest mixes, working on my channel Deep House Vancouver, and just finished working on a very special VA Compilation for one of my favourite labels - Stay tuned

Jonas Saalbach (https://soundcloud.com/jonassaalbach) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 008
- Wie hat Corona euer Künstlerleben verändert?
Es hat meinen ganzen Alltag sehr verändert. Seit fünf Jahren bin ich eigentlich konstant am Wochenende auf Tour. Dies fällt seit März komplett weg und fühlt sich mit der Zeit schon eigenartig an. Mir fehlt der Vibe, das gemeinsame Zelebrieren von Musik und das ganze Drumherum. Doch ich versuche Positives aus dem Ganzen zu ziehen, arbeite an verschiedenen Projekten, für die ich sonst keine Zeit hätte, und kümmere mich wieder mehr um meine Freunde und Familie. Das ist auf jeden Fall eine schöne Sache, die mir gut tut und Kraft gibt.
- Wo habt ihr diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es euch dabei?
Sehr gut ging es mir dabei. Neben Streams, habe ich verhältnismäßig lange keinen Podcast mehr aufgenommen und gerade hatte ich mal wieder richtig das Bedürfnis die ganzen Songs, die ich in den letzten Monaten gesammelt habe, zusammenzumischen. Das Ganze ist bei mir im Wohnzimmer entstanden.
- Was wünscht ihr euch für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona?
Ich bezweifle, dass es in absehbarer Zeit eine "Zeit nach Corona" geben wird. Wir müssen lernen mit dem Virus zu leben und ich wünsche mir Konzepte, die es trotz Corona möglich machen Veranstaltungen durchzuführen. Die Leute brauchen Begegnungen und die Veranstaltungsbranche wieder Arbeit.

🗯🗯 Which clubs / collectives are you connected to? 🗯🗯
My alliances lie more so with labels than clubs. I enjoy the freedom of choosing what events and shows resonate with me as an artist. Labels that I affiliate my music with mostly are Still Vor Talent, Poesie Musik, Of Leisure and my own imprint Upon Access.
🗯🗯 What is the situation like for you at the moment during Covid? 🗯🗯
With our current situation due to Covid, I’m am learning patience, putting most my efforts into writing music and thinking outside of the box for inspiration other than attending gigs. Taking it all day by day is crucial right now especially for mental health reasons. If there’s one thing I can control during such uncertain times is to put my best efforts into each day as they come. BE KIND, BE GRATEFUL & STAY SAFE EVERYONE.

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs / Kollektiven seit ihr verbunden? 🗯🗯
Verbunden fühlen wir uns mit vielen Clubs und Kollektiven - unsere Berliner Wohnzimmer sind sicherlich die Bucht und das Mensch Meier. Als Veranstalter unserer Konzertreihe “Kolibri Sinfonie” sind wir außerdem auch Residents im Klunkerkranich.
Als mitgestaltendes Mitglied des Kollektivs “Kybele” hat Chrissy sich viel mit der Sichtbarkeit von female identified Artists befasst, und Raphael hat mit seinem Kollektiv “Schiffbruch” viele legendäre Partys ausgerichtet.
🗯🗯 Wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
Seit Beginn des Lockdowns und der pandemiebedingten Clubschließung sind wir beide sehr aktiv in den Strukturen von United We Stream. Neben ein paar Auftritten in Streams befreundeter Kollektive haben wir dadurch zumindest eher mehr als weniger zu tun gehabt.
Wir freuen uns daher sehr, nun auch musikalisch zu unserem Projekt United We Stream etwas beitragen zu können!

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs / Kollektiven bist du verbunden und wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
Seit 2011 bin ich Resident bei der Nürnberger Veranstaltung NASTY und Elektrisch und dem Jeden Tag Ein Set Kollektiv.
Im Club Die Rakete in Nürnberg fühle ich mich auch wie zuhause und bin sehr froh ein Teil von dieser wilden kunterbunten Bande zu sein.
Die Situation bei uns ist wohl genauso ungünstig wie für alle anderen in der Szene. Selbständige DJs, Promoter, Techniker usw usw müssen auch bei uns um ihre Existenz fürchten und erhalten nur kaum bis garkeine Unterstützung vom Staat.
Gerade bin ich sehr froh, nicht voll und ganz von der Musik leben zu müssen.
Die Situation ist wirklich bedrohlich. Vorallem für die gesamte Clublandschaft.
Ich hoffe sehr, dass sich der Albtraum bald löst und wir wieder gemeinsam das tun können was wir gerne tun. Natürlich steht die Gesundheit über allem aber ich bin mir sicher, dass auch die Club Gastronomie die Hygienevorschriften und andere Konzepte einhalten könnte. Der Lehmann Club in Stuttgart hat dazu bereits ein tolles Konzept veröffentlicht, welches sich Lohnen würde es auszuprobieren. In der Schweiz funktioniert es ja auch. Irgendwie müssen wir mit dieser Situation zurecht kommen, bevor alles was wir lieben völlig den Bach hinunter geht.

Vor über 10 Jahren bin ich bei den Rotzigen Beatz rein gerutscht und wurde da auch gleich Resident auf den Partys. Ich erinnere mich gerne an unseren legendären Frühklub „Früher ist alles besser“ und an die Anfänge auf der Tanzwüste, die wir jetzt auch schon gefühlt seit Ewigkeiten gestalten. Es ist einfach immer wieder ein Highlight.
Vor 6 Jahren haben wir dann das Gelände in der Süderstraße 112 bekommen und machen seitdem als Südpol in Hammerbrook immer wieder Remmidemmi.
Als wir unseren Laden im März schließen mussten, haben wir eine Crowdfunding Kampagne umgesetzt und den einen oder anderen Stream bei uns gestartet.
Hier nochmal Props an die Crew und alle Unterstützer, die uns so krass unterstützt haben, dass wir jetzt bis Ende des Jahres erstmal über die Runden kommen.
Ansonsten stecken wir grade viel die Köpfe zusammen um noch mehr Wahnsinn zu produzieren.

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs / Kollektiven bist du verbunden und wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
In meiner Heimatstadt Hamburg, wie überall sonst auch, sind die Clubs in denen wir unzählige, schöne Nächte vor und auf der Bühne verbracht haben, hart am Kämpfen. Es ist schwer zu sagen, wie es für die Veranstaltungsbranche weitergeht. Vor allem ist die Ungewissheit, wann es denn endlich wieder losgehen könnte, für mich persönlich, das schlimmste und natürlich frage ich mich, wie es denn danach weiter geht. Ob es jemals so sein wird wie vor der Pandemie? Ich hoffe sehr, dass es in kleinen Schritten voran gehen wird. Hamburg soll eine vielfältige Musikstadt bleiben! Der Clubkombinat Hamburg hat eine Startnext-Kampagne ins Leben gerufen.

Super Flu (https://soundcloud.com/super-flu-de) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 007
- Wie hat Corona euer Künstlerleben verändert?
Corona hat einen gewaltigen Einfluss auf unser Leben und hat dieses völlig umgekrempelt. Keine Auftritte mehr für die Menschen, die über die Jahre unsere Freunde geworden sind, keinen direkten Kontakt mehr mit anderen Musikern und vor allem keinen Kontakt mehr mit den Menschen, die unsere Musik so sehr lieben wie wir. Als Künstler wurden wir fast allem beraubt, wofür wir die Jahre eingetreten sind und unsere ganze Energie aufgebracht haben.
- Wo habt ihr diesen Mix aufgenommen? Wie ging es euch dabei?
Für den Mix haben wir uns extra einen starken portablen Akku gekauft, um unsere Technik im Freien betreiben zu können. Wir haben uns dann auf einer lauschigen Wiese hinter dem Haus von Feliks Eltern getroffen und dort denMix aufgenommen. Es hat sich sehr frei angefühlt, nicht an einen bestimmtenOrt gebunden zu sein, sondern einfach loszulassen und für sich zu spielen.
- Was wünscht ihr euch für die Zeit nach oder mit Corona?
Das Wichtigste ist, dass alle gesund und halbwegs finanziell gesichert durch diese schwere Zeit kommen. Ideal wäre, wenn man noch etwas positives aus dieser Krise ziehen kann, daraus lernt und gemeinsam gestärkt in die Zukunft blickt.

Grizzly (https://soundcloud.com/grizzly) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 006
Grizzly, DJ & producer from Berlin is one of those rare animals that’s never been blinkered when it comes to good music.
He started in the early 90s to produce his own tracks with a little help by partners in crime go under the name TB909 and TB303. Grizzly left his mark with hundreds of dj-mixes under his moniker „GrizzlyMix“ since 2002. The range of these sets, mixing all styles of music with a Bud Spencer attitude of “I like it, I play it“ , guaranteed him fans from all over the world.
Throughout the years Grizzly has played in almost every club in Berlin - from Panorama Bar/Berghain to Watergate, Bar25/Katerholzig and Salon Wilde Renate. Gigs in international clubs in England, Russia, France, Spain, Australia and even famous festivals like Nation of Gondwana, Fusion, Melt and MSDockville ensued. His own annual event named “GrizzlyNation” has become a legendary gathering of musicians, fans & animals since the past years. In summer 2017 he joined the label, collective and animals from Feines Tier after working together on different projects succesfully. Or generally spoken: Some days you get the bear, other days the bear gets you.

In meiner aktuellen Heimat Wien bin ich Gründungsmitglied der STRAWANZA Crew und in München Teil von tanz.t.raum music. Aktuell sind natürlich alle Veranstaltungen in dem Ausmaß wie wir sie kennen und sonst organisiert haben nicht möglich. Alle Festival Gigs, auf die ich mich im Sommer 2020 gefreut habe, wurden abgesagt. Von daher freue ich mich über die Möglichkeit mehr Ruhe und Energie zu haben für Podcasts auf SoundCloud und meine Zuhörer mit mehr oder weniger spontanen Livestreams in wohldosierter Anzahl zu überraschen. Für beide Kollektive gibt es Pläne für den späteren Sommer und den Herbst, wo sich hoffentlich die Lage mehr entspannt haben wird. Da wir natürlich zur Sicherheit aller mit der Situation gehen müssen, kommen die Details sobald es soweit ist. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf die Energie aller Tanz-Hungrigen wenn die ersten Raves wieder wie gewohnt stattfinden. Bis dahin, alles Liebe, bleibt sicher und "dance at home".

youANDme (https://soundcloud.com/youandme-martin) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 006
- How Did Corona change your artist life?
It changed a lot because I lost the main source of income from one day to the other. Besides the financial aspect, I really miss sharing music with other people on a big sound system and have the community spirit of a typical club night or day. There are also some benefits like enough sleep, lots of sports and more time on the weekends for friends and family. I enjoy working in the studio every day and have a lot of upcoming music in the pipeline, e.g. a collaboration with Steve Bug and magic Black Soda for the 50-anniversary record of my label Rotary Cocktail Recordings. At the moment I try to refresh my programming skills and learn VST developing (plug-ins for audio processing) because I have a lot of ideas for new useful tools in the studio.
- Where did you record the mix and how did you feel?
I recorded the mix at home and I enjoyed it a lot because there is so much new amazing music out there. It's really sad that we can't dance together at a club or open air. Sometimes I had goosebumps because of some really emotional songs. In these moments I´m not the DJ but the biggest fan of the track and dance like nobody is watching.
- What are your wishes for the time after Corona?
First of all, I hope there will be no second wave of the virus during the winter months. So many clubs and artists would have to give up and it would damage our scene for years. I wish that all clubs & festivals can survive and hopefully, we can continue our culture like before corona. What we don't need is the superstar DJ stuff with crazy amounts of fees, private jets, and where social media is more important than music. Bye-bye Instagram DJs.

🗯🗯 Mit welchen Clubs / Kollektiven bist du verbunden und wie ist die Situation bei euch? 🗯🗯
Ich bin einer der Begründer von URSL und schon ziemlich lange als ein Part von Soukie und Windish unterwegs. Amount ist seit drei Jahren mein Soloprojekt, bei dem ich meistens Live spiele aber auch auflege. Wir sind bei URSL gerade relativ aktiv, weil durch die Pandemie auch Zeit frei wird, die nun verstärkt in Label-Arbeit gesteckt werden kann. Auch wenn es eine schwierige Situation ist derzeit und viele schwer getroffen hat, für mich persönlich hat die Phase gerade auch durchaus ihre guten Seiten. Das ist aber natürlich eine sehr persönliche Sache. Ich finde nachdem man fast 13 Jahre in so vielen Clubs sich die Nächte um die Ohren geschlagen hat, es auch mal sehr schön, dass ohne Alternative und schlechtes Gewissen alles anhält und eine gewisse Ruhe einkehrt, man weniger toxisch lebt, Zeit hat und so weiter. Ich kenne viele die sagen, dass ihnen die Pause gerade sehr guttut. Ich persönlich habe zugegeben auch Glück das ich von den Rettungsschirmen ganz gut aufgefangen werde, deshalb ist alles bei mir bis jetzt nicht wirklich schlimm. Zudem bin ich gewohnt prekär zu existieren und dementsprechend ist die Unsicherheit der Situation auch kein Stress mehr für mich. Es ist einfach prekär wie immer. Außerdem arbeite ich einfach weiter gerade im Studio und mache viel Musik, also ändert sich für mich auch nicht so viel im Alltag wie bei Anderen. Natürlich ist die Situation besonders tragisch für die Clubs, das sehe ich auch. Ich hoffe einfach, dass der Szene geholfen wird, bis die Türen wieder aufgemacht werden können und bin auch besorgt, dass da viel kaputt gehen könnte. Ansonsten denke ich, haben wir das gröbste schon hinter uns und man kann sich wieder - zumindest was die Krankheit Covid 19 angeht - wieder entspannen, die Zahlen sehen ja gut aus. In der Hasenheide wird auf jeden fall schon wieder geraved und Techno wird eh irgendwie weitergehen.

🗯🗯 With which clubs / collectives are you connected and what is the situation with you? 🗯🗯
I have a weekly Radioshow at Ibiza Sonica Radio, I am Artist at The Zoo Project in Ibiza, Telekollegen Berlin and Freiland Sommerfest, we all go through the same, all income gone till further notice. Everyone is trying to survive and trying to stay positive, searching for Plan B's. I think the most difficult part, besides the financial situation, which is existential, is the still unknown. Emotionally it's hard, but something beautiful occurred as well, which was the support within the crews, clubs, friends and the community. I felt understood and more safe within the chaos. Coming back to life with little steps, our next step in Ibiza will be to open the Airport in July.

🗯🗯 How has Corona changed your artistic life? 🗯🗯
Corona has of course put my touring life on hold, nevertheless I have tried and turn the lockdown into a positive time and reached some fellow artist to collaborate on music and utilize the time to stay productive and enjoy the country side where I am currently based.
🗯🗯 Do you have any wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯
I do hope things will go back to normal of course although I also wish our industry would take a fresher start and open up to what’s great rather than what’s known for being known. So much grand breaking music out there that doesn’t break through because playing safe has been the leitmotiv of our industry for too many years. I believe this is a time of change and we shall push towards the deeper and forward thinking.

Ich bin mit der Voll Schön Crew, der Rummels Bucht & dem Süss war gestern verbunden. Alle versuchen das Beste aus der Situation zu machen und lassen den Kopf zum Glück noch nicht hängen. Es ist nun mal leider so wie es ist und man arrangiert sich bestmöglich damit. Am Anfang gab es durch die Crowdfundingaktionen Unterstützung. Das Süss hat dann mit dem außer Haus Verkauf gestartet und darf nun langsam unter strengen Bedingungen mit Sitzplatzvergabe öffnen. Die Bucht hat den Biergarten richtig schön ausgebaut und verkauft seeehr leckere Pizza. Was aber allen aus der Branche fehlt ist eine Perspektive. Wann und unter welchen Bedingungen ist wieder was möglich? Es gibt immer noch keine klaren Aussagen dazu und dadurch kann niemand in die Zukunft planen. Ich bleibe aber positiv und hoffe, dass es nach und nach weiter voran geht!
◾◾◾ Gwen ◾◾◾ Den Club Anderswelt gibt es bereits nicht mehr. Im Hamburger Gängeviertel sieht es ebenfalls nicht gut aus, irgendwann sind so Förderungen (wenn man sie denn bekommt) auch ausgeschöpft. Und die Möglichkeit wieder Veranstaltungen und Getränkeverkauf stinknormal machen zu dürfen ist noch ganz weit weg. Das tut natürlich langfristig weh im Portemonnaie. Nicht nur für uns. Wir machen viele Soli-Parties normalerweise für „Ende Gelände“ oder die „Seawatch“. Diese Art der indirekten finanziellen Hilfe fällt nun auch dort weg, das ist tragisch! Gesellschaftlich betrachtet funktionieren Kollektive einfach in live super und digital richtig schlecht. Man muss die Leute über Jitsi bei der Stange halten und den Mut und Optimismus nicht verlieren. Und das über einen langen Zeitraum.

Berlin Club Culture is facing the biggest challenge in its history. On Friday, the 13th of March, all of Berlin´s nightlife was officially shut down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, about 9000 employees, as well as tens of thousands of artists have been without work and wages, and the existence of many of the places that give Berlin its identity is threatened.

How Did Corona change your artist life? We’ve been working a lot on new music, more than ever before. We’re evolving our productions and improving our skills as producers & DJs. Moreover, we got some new toys in our studio as we will start playing live once the clubs will re-open. Meanwhile, there is much more time since Corona for our families, friends, hobbies and other projects for which there was no time before, e.g. working on new designs for t-shirts, a professional website and much more.
-
Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? The mix is the recording of our set for United We Stream Rhein-Neckar at Loft Club Ludwigshafen. We were super nervous during the recording as it was our first vinyl only set to date and our first livestream since pandemic. We put much effort into the track selection, so we could not wait to tell the story behind. It felt so good to be back behind the decks, dancing to loud music inside a club & supporting the scene at the same time. Thanks again for making this happen and the great opportunity.
-
What are your wishes for the time after Corona? We hope that people will appreciate things like „going out“ & meeting friends more than before. Besides that, we hope that people spent time on research for new music & talents. There are so many great artists who have not yet received the attention they deserve. Last but not least, we hope that these crazy times will be an opportunity for each & everyone to reflect their own behavior: if we all work together - not against each other - we will all benefit from it. We are one big community!

Where did you record the podcast? And how did you feel? The last 9 weeks I have been staying at home, mainly inside, just like most people out there and like most people I personally know. Actually I did not even find missing going outside the biggest issue. I threw myself into making music right away after we came back on one of the last flights out of Istanbul, heading straight into lockdown. The first couple of weeks I so much appreciated the freedom to just make music nonstop with the fewest distractions as long as I can remember. In the beginning there was something energetic about the whole situation, some of you may know what I’m talking about. But others experienced it differently and I also suspected that it might not stay hyper forever, as the constant flow of changing news indicated that things could always get worse and that literally anything was possible. I realise that living in Berlin and having a nice home with a sufficient studio setup is really lucky and a huge privilege, I’m very grateful for that. However, recently my thoughts started drifting towards more worrying aspects of the future more and more often. It takes more energy to stay positive all the time compared to in the beginning. It was like "wow, this is happening!". Right now it's like "Oh, this actually happened" and no one can tell wether we’ll get back together for dancing late 2020 or late 2021. Actually this is the mix of feelings and thoughts I channeled into this particular recording. It’s compiled out of tracks I collected since the time when Corona hit town early March. Subsequently, this mix turned out very different to the last one I recorded for Anomaly a few weeks ago, when dancing in a packed club was still a clear memory.
-
Tell us a bit about how Covid-19 changed your artist life. I was thinking a lot about wether the pressure to make the best out of the time in lockdown was a constructive kind of pressure and wether I should fully give into it or rather read more books and stuff like that instead. I decided on trying to channel that energy as well as I could for focusing on production. I really wanted to be able to look back at this time and say that at least I was productive. Recently I reflected and was almost surprised to find that I finished 5 remixes in this time and also two podcasts, including this one for UnitedWeDream. That’s a lot more stuff than what I would usually even attempt to accomplish in 9 weeks. The only thing I didn’t feel like doing yet was video streaming. But it looks like that might change soon, too. Besides continuing to make as much music as I can, I’m also working on not losing faith and get prepared for the next steps towards a life after Corona lockdown as well as I can.

Berlin Club Culture is facing the biggest challenge in its history. On Friday, the 13th of March, all of Berlin´s nightlife was officially shut down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, about 9000 employees, as well as tens of thousands of artists have been without work and wages, and the existence of many of the places that give Berlin its identity is threatened.
As a reaction to the closing of all Berlin clubs and to the rest of the world being in quarantine, Berlin is showing its support and solidarity by bringing the biggest possible digital club to your home.

How Did Corona change your artist life? Corona completely slowed down my artist life. I have been to clubs and festivals every weekend for years, and my dates for 2020 were booked pretty far in advance. When my India tour was canceled one day before departure in mid-March, I couldn't really understand it. Only when all other appointments were deleted from my calendar, I understood the seriousness of the situation. It felt a bit like I was driving against a wall at full throttle. At the beginning my creativity suffered quite a bit, so I didn't get anything right in the studio at first. Fortunately, things have now relaxed a bit and I am now using the time for my upcoming label "Eating People", which is not just about music, but also about painterly art. Fortunately, this work also benefits my studio work. I was also very happy about all the many streaming requests from different platforms. It feels almost "normal" again. :)

Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? I recorded the mix in my studio shortly after the lockdown. The session lasted for a few hours and was like a release from my head. You got the heart of it. <3

What are your wishes for the time after Corona? Health, peace and raves for everyone!
