SWITCHST(d)ANCE

Usually there is a concept behind all my podcasts and sets on Soundcloud. I often orientate myself on the sound that the respective podcast series stands for or try to create something that reflects my current mood. The whole thing is completely detached from what I would play in a club at night - a club is a club and a podcast is a podcast!

My goal is to tell a story in my mixes. And these stories can be diverse, whether at 82 or 135bpm, whether downtempo or minimal, ambient or deep house. My personal aspiration as a DJ has always been to take my listeners on a journey with my sets and not just pack my 10 favorite tracks together. That seems too easy to me.

But there are also constraints with this approach, but Flow Music managed to finally open up to me and shed this "stubbornness". The target is to create a mix with a length of 3:33:33 - that's damn long if you usually only aim for like 60 minutes. Due to this challenge, I tried to free myself and imagined a situation - being at an open air festival. Groovy house tracks should go hand in hand with organic elements. It doesn't matter how old a track is. I just started playing, imagining that I was at a festival during the day. I hope you can feel it and enjoy the mix.

much love, @bonjourben

Bio: Originally a child of reggae, Bonjour Ben started DJing in his early twenties. With the help of the tight DJ community, he has established his organic sound has become a staple of the organic and intercultural house scene, including appearances in Berlin (Watergate, About Blank, Sisyphos, katerblau), Amsterdam, Zürich, London, Sao Paulo, NYC, Cape Town and more...

Ben's approach is hypnotic, he embarks us gently but surely in his dreamy universe. He is very creative and delicate. His sets feels like an endless flow, two hours becomes six and feels like ten minutes. We forget about time and the outside world, we are drown into the present moment and don’t want to leave this world filled with softness.

We’re proud to announce Michael Mayer as our next guest. His exclusive mix for Schirmchendrink is as classic and sophisticated as his drink of choice, the Dry Martini. Known for its minimalistic elegance and sharp bite, the Dry Martini perfectly embodies Mayer’s approach to music – refined, potent, and balanced with just the right amount of flair. In this mix, Mayer serves up an intoxicating blend of deep grooves, sweeping melodies, and unexpected twists that leave a lasting impact.
 
A legendary figure in electronic music, Michael Mayer has spent decades shaping sounds, from steering the iconic Kompakt label to producing critically acclaimed albums. His brand new release, The Floor Is Lava, showcases his boundless curiosity and relentless pursuit of musical depth. If you listen closely, you’ll find some gems from the album in this mix. Mayer’s mixing style reflects his ethos as a DJ who digs deep across genres, always seeking fresh flavors to share with his listeners. Just as the perfect martini strikes a harmony between gin and vermouth, Mayer's mix finds balance between the nostalgic and the novel, the cerebral and the danceable.
 
With each track, Mayer layers complexity and warmth, much like the subtle botanicals in a finely crafted martini. This mix is a journey through his musical palette, a toast to all those who appreciate a finely tuned set and the art of storytelling through sound. Sip on this one slowly and let the depth of Mayer's artistry wash over you – it’s a mix with a timeless feel, ready to be savored.
 
Cheers!
The bartenders

Acid Pauli — Solar Stage — Wonderfruit 2019

Songuara proudly presents “Peace” — a deep, immersive collaboration between D-Nox and Elan Myles, where organic grooves meet meditative energy. At the heart of the track lies a hypnotic Eastern motif — subtle, soulful, and resonant like a distant memory carried by desert winds.

The release is elevated by two stunning remixes:
Newman (I Love) delivers a powerful club-ready remix, amplifying the pulse of the original while preserving its emotional gravity.
Nicolas Viana offers a warm, textured rework, gently expanding the original’s spiritual undertone into a dancefloor ritual.

"Peace" is not just a track — it’s a journey inward, a sonic sanctuary shaped for twilight hours and sun-kissed mornings alike.

Already supported by Elke Klejn, Jim Rider, Facundo Mohrr, Richie Hawtin, PAAX (Tulum), Nicolas Rada, MASSIO, Goldcap, Aiwaska, Megablast, Andy Moor, Ravin (Buddha Bar), Igor Marijuan, Fernando Ferreyra, DJ Zombi, Maxxim, Niki Sadeki, LADS, NOIYSE PROJECT, Ruben Mandolini, Ilias Katelanos, Mauro Masi, Tuxedo, Max Wexem, Fabri Lopez, Cream (PL), Viktop, Alexander Barabash, Elliot Moriarty, Urmet K, Julian Nates etc.
