We are excited to present to you this special Far Blue concept, in which, for the first time in the history of the series, two artists express their perceptions together. In this beautiful, one hour and twelve minutes set, Ninze and Bonjour Ben sure sound like a symbiosis you didn’t know you needed. 

“Almost ten years. What started with an internet acquaintance, turned into musical appreciation and then friendship. Similar views and common dislikes. Own principles are held higher than potential success. Deep House matters more than charts. Better slow than fast. Never silence, even though others might not understand. Support, even in rough seas. Once loosing fun, other ideas are needed -  you wanna record something new?" 

Their first set together - a sign of friendship.

A Far Blue concept by Ninze & Bonjour Ben - 'Der Traum vom Haus'

DJ Fog Puma aka Jean-Marie Dhur was infected by the post-punk, 2-tone and reggae virus at the age of 14, and soon acquired a solid collection of copied cassettes and mixtapes by trading with friends. A few years and some tangled cassette tapes later - initiated by the discovery of New Order's ‘Technique’ album - came the second epiphany in the form of Chicago house, Detroit techno, and communal euphoric dance experiences. Both spheres eventually merged into a preference for hypnotic, rhythmic, dubby, minimalist sounds with a counter-cultural and leftfield attitude. The affinity for this is still reflected in Fog Puma's DJ sets, which move along atmospheres rather than clearly defined genre boundaries. In addition to his dance sets, he also likes to play calmer music, which he presents monthly in the show Abendlandung on Cashmere Radio. And he is co-owner of the specialist bookshop Zabriskie in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

The source of inspiration for a Fog Puma mix are the sounds that are created incessantly by the countless great non-conformist, creative and experimental musicians worldwide - as well as moods that are generated by experiencing and connecting with plants, animals, landscapes, skies, weather and other natural phenomena. The mix for LiO is also inspired by the sounds on the chill-out floors of the 90s, which were mandatory for a proper rave back then.

The next Far Blue concept is composed by Arutani, an artist that we have been admiring for a long time now. For this special mix, he has created 16 original tracks that blend ambient, deep house, minimal, electronica, downtempo and anything in between. The mix flows between smooth, atmospheric soundscapes and deeper rhythms, creating a unique music experience, that we are proud to share with you.

‘This mixtape is inspired by the reflection of what place do we hold in the universe, capturing the sense of self and purpose while feeling adrift, a state of curiosity as well as surrender. Being "lost in orbit" also suggests a peaceful surrender to the unknown, floating freely without the need of staying still, embracing the beauty of not having all the answers.’

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

#12 macht unser Sorbet-Jahr voll und der Frühling lässt sich auch endlich blicken. Ganz passend dazu heute  weichgerührtes Fruchtfleisch mit https://soundcloud.com/dwig aka Die Wiese im Garten﻿. So für Gemütlichkeiten und natürlich zur Einstimmung auf das bevorstehende Album, welches in den kommenden Wochen auf https://soundcloud.com/giegling erscheint.

#012: Die Wiese im Garten *live - Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise

The Italian-German composer, DJ and founder of the record label 99CHANTS. He has been releasing music since 2010, but it took self- evaluation and a re-examination of his priorities for August to lean towards the future and follow his most experimental inclinations.
In 2023, his output is harder than ever to define, stretching across genres and disciplines to chafe the heart of the human experience.
