"(...) Time is a blind eye and I see your mind in my mind's eye
You make me immortal
You take me to space
You are a planet."           - Kae Tempest

I see love in sadness. In the moment when an animal kills another animal. In destruction. In a tree that protects me from the rain. The smell of Kiefernharz. In all forms of human connections especially the ones that makes my body shiver.
 This is to all the people I´ve met and will meet. You are the real mission in my life.

Love.

a tale of giving

A hazy, cold Sunday in Berlin.
Inside, at Island Universe - we find a soothing and alleviating atmosphere. Friendly faces. 
The ideal setting to explore remote depths of our music collections, taking the time so sloooowly build up. We traverse across basslines, dubby chords and left field waves - meandering into house and disco. This might be balearic.
Take the journey with us!

3 QUESTIONS to BONJOUR BEN

Q: Talking about your mix. Your roots are full of atmospheres, pads, not the usual 4/4 beat. What made this music so interesting for you?

A: Thank you. HOW I MET THE BASS was the reason to try something new from the technical side of mixing. It was a lot of fun because it was the first time ever I recorded a mix with 3 different medias. I checked my first electronic tracks in my iTunes playlist, which vinyl records I ordered on decks.de or discogs.com and which fitting CD may be around too. Then I was surprised that most of my music collection was really melancholic and calm. No Techno, no Minimal, no Tech-House - even more Ambient, Electronica and Deep House.

Q: You´re from the northern part of Germany. How did you get in touch with the club scene once and how does it still feel for you?

A: My first experiences in clubbing in my hometown Rostock have been at MS Stubnitz, the good old JAZ and the "Machbar" events. My first gig ever was in Rostock (Club Zwischenbau) and the first events I was involved in as promoter was with the Meerblick Kollektiv. A huge experience that I won´t miss and makes me smile when I remember the good old times. On the other hand I´m living and working here for 11 years now, that has a big impact on my daily doings. And there is a lot of good things going on here. On the other hand I´m really critical with the area around here. Our world is big, colored and nice, we should never forget about that, doesnt matter where you live.

Q: Which future projects and releases are coming soon?

A: Besides having upcoming gigs in Tenerifa, Hamburg, Berlin and recording podcasts for different blogs I´m going to focus on becoming a more professional artist. That means becoming part of a label and an agency as all my recent things have been done on my own. On one side that will give you a lot of freedom and you´re always in direct touch with the promoters but on the other hand that becomes more and more stressful from time to time, especially when its about playing gigs outside of Germany or by having problems in handling Facebook, WhatsApp etc. I´m on the point now that I really need a helping hand and I hope that will take me further.
