An ambient soundscape that leads into a unique blend of jazz, classic rock and timeless selections combined with a playful selection of instruments and effects.

Last month I organized an afternoon event featuring a live art workshop and I brought out some of my instruments.

This was a very in the moment flow, allowing some audience to play with some of the drums and synthesizers as well.

Featuring a Roland Tr-06, Handsonic HPD20, Microphone, Arturia Microfreak, Zen Delay, Dreadbox Typhon, a single record player and a big collection of mostly vintage vinyls.
The sounds is truly a journey through my formative musical years to my current state of mind.

Ikigai Live Experimentation Vinyl/Hybrid - 02-04-2024

I was given the opportunity to curate the lineup for our Preservation Society art car, Lucy S Cargo, last year at Burning Man. I brought my friends @oba-flip and @nodestinationmusic onboard, and we soundtracked a wonderful sunrise and morning on Playa. Here is my set from that day on my favourite snail :)

Releases & Press: https://linktr.ee/Powel

Powel has been a part of the Bespoke Musik family since nearly the beginning, when we invited him to NY for his first gig outside of Germany back in 2014. Over the years, he has consistently been one of the most sought-after Producers in deep house / electronica with releases on a multitude of labels including All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, and our very own Bespoke Musik. He is also an artist whom we consider to be one of the finest DJs in the world.

An expert at creating harmonious illusions of sound, Germany’s Powel always finds a way to thread together natural elegance and tasteful patience in music.

Having learned the piano at a young age and subsequently performed regularly with bands and even an orchestra, Powel’s palette of music has a vast and thorough foundation that is influenced by the people and places he comes across during his visits. The sound artist’s unique touch as a musician is heard in how he captures warm, celestial vibes filled with airy atmospheres together with delicate rhythms and tells a melancholic story fused with ghostly, low-slung cuts that are rich with nuance and subtlety.

Powel steadily explores this duality in sounds not only throughout his discography but in his performances around the world which include his annual performance on the Robot Heart bus at Burning Man and residencies with the All Day I Dream family around renowned guru Lee Burridge as well as Behrouz’ intimate home in Miami, Do Not Sit On The Furniture, and one of the finest institutions in New York City, Bespoke Musik.
