There is only one project that was able to speed up fantasies of Blue Room, UK - Saafi Brothers. 

Inspired by his annual travels to India, Gabriel starts a conspiration with Frankfurt-based producers Michael Kohlbecker and Groovetitan on researching unkown spiritual flight-zones in exotic club sound environments. Saafi Brothers quickly make their way into the hearts of music lovers with their debut LP Mystic Cigarettes.


Saafi Brothers walk a deep line between trippy vibes and blissed out beats. The origins of Saafi Brothers are long and storied, their brand of smoky, world-weary ambient dub first arising from the Blue Room label.


Soul wrenching deep ambient tunes are layered gently into tranced and bassy beats. Saafi Brothers' debut "Mystic Cigarettes" came out in 1997 on the british label Blue Room Released. With the today classic psydub album, the project consisting of Frankfurt/Germany based producers Gabriel Le Mar, Groovetitan and Michael Kohlbecker, immediately placed itself among the artists of the electronic ambient scene.


"Sweet Sirenes" starts off the voyage with bopping drums over a wide soundscape that increase in pace to reach an enfolding crescendo. "On Air" gets down and dubby as does the ample and floating "2046" both with a subtile but effective sprinkling of "classical Indian Vibers". "Together in Silence“ echoes through the magic of psychedelic ambient. Saafi Brothers get deeper into "low-down dub" and add drum trills that get the tune rocking only to space out.

It was logical to see a packet of mystic cigarettes on the cover, designed by Simon Ghahary with the fantastic artwork by Brahma.
