Podcast deep story nr. 147 l ambassador of music l by Artique I quickly grab my cell phone and open the message. I'm excited and my heart beats like the bass of a techno track. “Dear ComRa employees, the next big event is coming up and the Raverend is back in town. Now we’re counting on you as an ambassador for music. Go out and spread the good news. Bring the faithful techno disciples back to the holy cathedral and let's celebrate another supreme music fair. You know how important this project is for the ComRa community. Your full commitment is required now so that the Raverend can reach the masses from the pulpit and we can soon usher in a new era of bliss. An age in which all people can freely express their feelings in dance. So that people can be reached as effectively as possible, the city will once again be divided into zones and each ambassador will be assigned to a zone. The list of potential ravers of each zone can be found in the appendix. Yours sincerely, your guiding lights from the ComRa headquarters” P.S. Don't forget to promote our energy capsules extensively. These have recently been wrongly discredited. These capsules are essential for the transition to the new era. ” My mind goes crazy after reading this message. So this means there are several ambassadors for music. I thought this post would be unique. Well, it probably takes several ambassadors to achieve such a higher goal. I am also somewhat disappointed that my engagement does not start in a foreign exotic region where people do not have the opportunity to visit big raves. But after all, you have to start somewhere and at least here I have the home advantage and can spread the message of the great Raverend. My mood, which was initially gloomy, soon turns into a thirst for action. I want to do my part to make the world a louder place… Read More
Podcast deep story nr. 146 l creating something new l by Norman Czerny After getting home, my thoughts only revolved around my future tasks in this wonderful place that I had just discovered. Which groundbreaking projects would I be allowed to undertake? It was important to me to spread the spirit of this culture. Maybe I would give speeches or even meet key leaders to help create a new era of music. When will I finally be able to start and where will my first trip take me? I look at my smartphone impatiently. No messages received yet. Then I realized that I didn’t give my number to anyone at ComRA, so I decided to check my mails instead. Still nothing. I rolled impatiently in my bed and stared at the ceiling. In addition to all the joy of these exciting developments, I had failed to recap things. What had actually happened in the past few hours? I can still remember that I was in the club. The next morning I was upset about something. But I just couldn’t remember about what. Whenever I felt that I was getting closer to the matter, my memory suddenly jumped to another scene in the past. A situation that evoked positive feelings. Something which is pleasant to remember, like my visit to the ComRa headquarters and the conversation with that likeable employee. Something seems to have been lost in this timeline. As if I could no longer access part of one of my memories. Before I can delve further into this subject, my phone vibrated. Finally a message from ComRa. Today's deep story comes from the Regensburger whiz kid Norman Czerny. With his groovy tech house, he has earned a permanent place in the clubs of southern Germany. In addition, he has already made the clubs in the capital unsafe. Enjoy an hour of driving beats. Read More
Podcast deep story nr. 145 l above and beyond l by Florian Kruse Let yourself float and surrender to the whims of the winds. But don’t allow yourself to go adrift, just be driven by magical forces to the so-called "new shores". That would be it. Simply change your perspective and don’t just look outside the box. Just leave the box right away. A truly uplifting feeling. The world is disappearing under your feet. Things that were just small are now much smaller. You dive into the raging blue, which is interspersed with white and finally turns into an all-encompassing black, which seems to glitter. Up here, far from your safe home ground, everything is different, it can provide insights, but it can also be frightening Hovering over things is not easy. But our guest today brought us a deep story on this topic. What moves him in the form of sound moves not only the body, but also the heart! Read More

Podcast deep story nr. 144 l headquarter l by aektschn Still completely lost in thought, I sign the contract which my counterpart had given to me. I had guessed that it would reflect the content of our conversation and I didn’t bother to decipher the boring legal language which was being used in the contract. ‘Wonderful, welcome to the team! We will contact you in the next few days and then we’ll discuss how we can make the world a little louder. In the meantime, you can already think about what strengths you can bring to ComRa. It was a pleasure to meet you. Unfortunately I have to say goodbye here. I have other obligations, I hope you will understand that’. The man got up and winked at me. We seemed to be on the same wavelength. Shortly thereafter, he swiped with his finger on his smartphone and the wall behind him opened. I had never seen anything like that before. It was not possible to see beforehand that there was an opening in the wall. The gray-clad man stepped out of the room into a small hallway and the door closed automatically behind him. If you had just looked away for a few seconds, you would have thought the ground had swallowed the man. There was no trace left of the man or the door. These headquarters seems to be very futuristic. I was in a good mood and looked forward to my new tasks as future music designer in this already extremely advanced company. My mind developed an unexpected thirst for action. I couldn't wait to start my visionary work. But I started to wonder how exactly I should work? Suddenly dozens of questions buzzed through my head that I would have liked to ask the charismatic man. ‘You look worried? Be patient, all your questions will be answered soon. We'll take you home first’, one of my companions, who had led me into the office, cheered me up. If you have just lost the oversight and need a little mental restart, take the time and listen to Aektschn's deep story. Or as he would say: ‘Cause music cares, cause music helps .... for sure it will, just sit down, relax & listen’ ... Read More

Podcast deep story nr. 143 l head cinema l by Pølaroit The man leans forward and speaks in a muffled voice: ‘Keep this among us, but I think you’re into this subculture more than most people I've met so far. We could use someone like you here. You could become an ambassador for our community and spread the ComRa spirit among the ravers.’ He leans back in his futuristic-looking chair and spreads his arms. Then he raises his voice again and turns with the chair: ‘Become part of this wonderful community and help us to make the world a louder place. We dream of gigantic festivals on all continents. Everyone should have the chance to feel the positive energy of electronic music. Take this opportunity and give your life a new meaning!’ My body is flooded with endorphins right now. This suggestion sounds like a dream. As ambassador for techno, I bring people together from around the world. Together we dance towards a new dawn, a new future. Everywhere high box towers, which fill humanity with pure happiness and I’ll be one of the driving forces of this new movement. I am hot and cold at the same time and I start to grin uncontrollably as my head cinema continues to become independent. ‘I see we are in agreement,’ echoes across the room. I only perceive it casually and deepen myself in my vision of a better future. Lose yourself together with the protagonist of our story in the idea of a united world, shaped by music. Pølaroit will provide you with the right soundtrack for this breathtaking animated film which only happens inside your head. Read More
Podcast deep story nr. 142 l relocation l by Kellerkind 7:30. Full of anticipation I stand in front of a packed moving box and wait until the movers arrive. Lost in thought I go through everything again: Have I thought of everything? Are the boxes sufficiently labelled? Will everything go well? The walls around me are painted white with woodchip and the smell of lemon. Whoever had the idea to hang a lemon on the remaining lampshade - it serves its purpose, because it eliminated the musty smell that had been in this apartment recently. On the walls once hung pictures that reminded me of my past events. Nervously I look at my watch. 07:40. Still nobody there. What do I do when nobody comes? Admittedly I already knew the answer. I would just get on the next bus. Left and right a blue IKEA bag and the rest would be fine, I said to myself. After all, the big blue IKEA bags are a real miracle weapon: Everything fits in and the handles fit well in the hand. 07:45. The doorbell rings. That must be you, I mumble and quickly open the front door. There is no one outside the door. Hectically I use the electronic door opener to open the entrance door on the ground floor, but nobody enters. I hurry to the bathroom window and look out. The yard is deserted and it starts to rain. Perplexed, I close the bathroom window and my gaze wanders through the room to the toilet lid. Just this one I had to replace not too long ago, because it was broken apart but more about that another time. 07:50 am. The rain gets heavier and tactfully crashes against the window pane. This reminds me of a well-known track, a house number from the 2000s. I quickly go through my record collection in my mind and think about which record I had heard this track before. 07:58 am. The doorbell rings. Completely torn out of my thoughts I hurry to the door. It is the movers! Surprisingly punctual. So now it starts, but the guessing after the track I know should accompany me the whole day from now on... We are very happy that today Kellerkind from faraway Switzerland - musically - pays us a visit. Only recently he released his latest album on the Berlin label "Stil vor Talent". So let's now let us take a look at his melodic and dreamy sound and let us be carried away from everyday life... Read More

Podcast deep story nr. 141 l the offer l by Lexer We continue to explore the premises of this odd yet positive place. We cross large halls bathing in light and pass corridors with walls, ceilings and floors made entirely out of glass. Everywhere people are busy like little ants and everything is in continuous movement. In the large halls live broadcasts of concerts and festivals from all over the world are being shown. Everywhere there are large futuristic screens on which the stars of the scene can be seen at work. In front of it, groups of 10 to 30 people sit in front of large consoles with many controls. It reminds me a little of the control centers in the space agencies. My companions lead me to one of the smaller rooms, where I receive a warm welcome. I sit down at the end of a long table and examine my counterpart, who is a handsome man with friendly features. His clothes are not a white uniform like those of the other people I met on the way. He seems to prefer more simple shades of grey, which match his hair color very well. ‘I warmly welcome you to the ComRa headquarters. I am glad that you have found their way to us and that we can welcome you to our community. As we were able to find out, you are a great friend of electronic dance music and have also enjoyed your events. I think we are therefore able to offer you something that will surely inspire all of us.’ Today we too would like to offer friends of electronic dance music something that will surely put them in joyful ecstasy. While working on his third album, Lexer somehow found the time to record a podcast for us. Enjoy an hour of feel-good atmosphere with the master of melodies. Read More
