In April 2020 @ecoutesauvert launched the Music for Indoors (MFI) mix series following Covid-19's Pandemic start. We asked great record collectors, DJs & musicians to conceive a personal mix. 

We told the artists the mix could be whatever “Music for Indoors” evoked them & any kind of music they like. They were encouraged to take this as a chance to step away from the dancefloor, let their emotions flow or even feature a secret facet of their music tastes.

We aimed to contribute to that weird confinement period with something more thoughtful than just a Livestream; Hopefully, a carefully crafted mix that will possibly pass the test of time.

The mixes received from various places in the World were super good. We started to release since then all this fantastic music to you and shine a light on the wonderful artists who made them. A big thanks to everyone involved! ❤️‍🔥

Post-COVID, the Mix Series goes on, thanks to its appreciation, success & high-quality mixes. In 2025, we are celebrating 35 mixes and nearing 5500 listeners! 🔥

Ecoutes au vert (inceptor of Music for Indoors), which means in French "Listening in the green", is a project geared towards enjoying interesting music in lovely surroundings, for example, summertime outdoor places, where we have organized countless events since 2006. 


Music for Indoors was one of our responses to curating music while not being able to organize music events in IRL. We also did a few Livestream Concerts and confined limited audience events during that 2-year period.

Music for Indoors is mainly active in the fall/winter/spring of each year, taking a break in the summertime and doing reruns of the mixes throughout the outdoor season. 

Please Support Ecoutes au vert / Music for Indoors independent cultural project with a donation for all the work we put into this + the Soundcloud Pro account subscription we have to pay year after year to keep all the mixes on here and upload new ones. ❤️ Value music, mixes and be Supportive! Thank you. ✨ www.paypal.me/ecoutesauvert

Music for Indoors 14 - MAD LUBI (Berlin)

I first heard the song “Pretty Saro” on the amazing album “Folk Roots, New Routes” with Davy Graham and Shirley Collins. I started singing this song about 15 years ago and only now have I made a proper recording. Phil once lived in Berlin and we made music together, hosted a radio show and became close friends. His spacious and warm style on the piano was something I always loved. I often sang in his kitchen, where had a piano and we would drink cups of tea and philosophise over things. Now living in Brighton, I sent him a recording of the song, with a simple drone backing. He sent back the version that is on the EP. It was that simple. Piano and drones from his accordion. Phil takes the credit here for the track. 



“As I Roved Out” is heavily associated with Planxty and the lovely tenor voice of Andy Irvine. It has been a favourite of mine for many years. I think my love for all things drone and voice, especially traditional polyphonic singing from places like Georgia, Corsica and Sardinia, influenced the purely vocal backing. 



I was introduced to the singing of Jasper Smith by the great Dublin band Lankum, when they sang his “Father Had Knife”. The song “Died For Love” is a terrible tale of a father finding his daughter has killed herself. I like the contrast in the almost lullaby melody and the tragedy in the story. The breathy sea of Saxophone drones and the solo is performed by my friend Dan Fairhurst, who has been a friend on mine since we were at school.

16th mix comes from Czech Republic. @Obraz takes you to an oniric journey into the Fourth World before sinking deep into your subconscious. It's also a very personal confession by its author.  

Recorded about a year ago, OBRAZ wrote he had experienced many strong moments and important changes in 2020 (not because of Covid) that are reflected in the recording and which were literally transcendent for him. 

OBRAZ is a DJ part of the ÉTER crew and works in room acoustics, so he basically lives within sound!  

@eter_brno crew is a platform that seeks to raise awareness of non-mainstream electronic music and supports the local scene by organizing small parties, publish podcasts and spend a lot of time in their Studio 410.

Taken from @Norsicaa 's compilation: "Ayo Ke Disco: Boogie, Pop & Funk from the South China Sea (1974-88)" out 25 October. More at lnk.to/ayo-ke-disco

Dubbed "the most recorded drummer in the Philippines", Jun Regalado’s career has spanned nearly 60 years. His work can be heard on over 400 albums, including those of the most renowned Filipino artists such as VST & Co and Celeste Legaspi. This track comes from the 1977 recordings he made with famed jazz musician Eddie Munji III. It’s a heavy funk instrumental, driven by the trumpet section and percussion including the traditional Filipino racked gong chime kulintang.

Born & raised in Peru, YUQUITA delivers a whirlwind mix across the world! 

Music & travel enthusiast, Bruno's working as a linguist. Involved with dancing from a young age exposed him to musical variety. He has been djing for over 5 years and is part of 2 Paris-based collectives: 

- @quedesbangers (QDB) - electronic soirées & a mix series
- @planetechatouille - events w/ an artistic focus, eclectic music & parties 

@yuquita-pe wrote the following to accompany his mix: "I gathered some of my favorite songs and artists, combining African, Asian, South-American, European as well as Middle Eastern fusions and legacies. 

DJing and digging the world's sounds is the way through which I try to understand language-culture expression. I wouldn't really defined my music tastes as attached to specific genres or styles, but if I must delimit it, I would go for styles that range from afrobeat, kwaito, latin, soca and zouk, down to experimental electronica, downtempo, balearic, italo-disco, pop, (acid) house, new beat, tribal and progressive trance!"

MARLAIS´mix feels like a caress on your ear...

The Singer/Musician/Record Collector delivers a beautiful & tender mix for the MFI's series.

Heard at Heiners Bar playing tunes late into a quiet autumn night, @MARLAIS caught our attention with his sensitivity which led to discover more and more of his sonic universe through the music he makes on labels like Treibender Teppich or @Kin-ship and the one he plays out when DJing at bars or for his monthly Gurkenmusik broadcast on @MutantRadio.

After watching some of his videos, @ecoutesauvert invited him back in Nov. 2021 to play a concert at a sold-out triple bill show at Loophole, along Neukölln co-alumni @cv-vision and @jaguarnome, where his talent was lay bare to see & hear.
 
MARLAIS sings traditional British and Irish folk songs in a traditional acapella way and also set to a sonic tapestry of organ drones, arpeggiated flutes and ambient textures that depict a mystical & romantic world. These folks songs in their stunning simplicity can be hypnotic, evocative and even subversive.

Music for Indoors 21 - DJ PEACOCK (O Tannenbaum - Berlin)

25th mix in our series was a long one in the making! But the wait was well worth it! 

@sankywashere delivers a wonderful music lover's dream mix made of Soft Rock, Classical, Balearic, Psych Folk, Israeli Jazz Rock, 80's, Italo, Boogie and what not! A couple of exclusives in there and some stuff to set the shazamers off...! 

Sankywashere has willingly no social media presence, you can find him only on Soundcloud. He plays at Love International in Croatia and We Out Here, Gilles Peterson's Festival.

Originally from Newcastle, he moved to New York 10 years ago, and moved just recently to LA. Currently curating a new museum in London that just opened up. www.twistmuseum.com

He's part of a loose group in the collective LoveSunDays. www.soundcloud.com/lovesundays

Sanky has spent a lot of his life in dusty bins full of records looking for sounds that were less than successful at the time. Coming from the north of England, he grew up on rare soul and jazz and found a deep connection to the most special of formats, the 7”, which is most of what he collects nowadays. "I'm a George" he says, "if that makes sense for anyone... good music growing up all around..." 

As a long-term Mancuso's Loft Party fanatic, he has been influenced to let records play longer and drift around to hopefully create a feeling and not just a ‘set’. "The mix is for us to escape together to a remote villa on a warm night with good friends and listen to the whispers of the musical past. And of course all ID’s welcome as per usual, music is for sharing." 

"It was my 50th this year and there are a few records on there that remind me of good times spent through the year, mainly the 2 weeks in Ibiza that a few of these tunes soundtracked... and this also covers the widest time span of any mix I've done as it goes back to Holst and the 19th Century... been hunting the 1st tune for years, so it's a coming together of 50 years of listening."

Music for Indoors 25 - SANKYWASHERE (LoveSunDays - LA)

Ecoutes au vert is thrilled to introduce you to the wonderful forgotten era of Peruvian Disco Synth Pop Outsiders by record collectors DJs AXEL H & CAO BRAVO! 🧿

Following @ecoutesauvert's output for a while, @axelhaxel contacted us to see if we will be up to releasing this mix via our Soundcloud. A quick listen and the rest is history! 📡

Big thanks to the artists for the fantastic music + Axel & Cao for digging & putting this together! ❤️

AXEL H & CAO BRAVO presents: El Mundo de Quilca

Peru, a country with a rich geographic and cultural diversity, is mostly known to the international music community as the epicenter of cumbia and its psychedelic variants. Unknown to most, a handful of groups have experimented with sounds related to disco and synth-pop in the 80s that were unpopular at the time and thus have mostly been forgotten over the years. 

@axelhaxel (@kitchensessions_int), an epidemiologist and collector residing in Lima, has spent the last 6 years digging records in Quilca, a small and dusty gallery in the center of Lima with improvised vinyl stalls, as well as sourcing records from elsewhere across Peru.

Sharing a common interest to explore Peruvian "Disco" output, Axel has teamed up with @caobravo, a surgeon and well-respected record collector across Latin America, to record “El Mundo de Quilca” a vinyl-only mix of neglected and often impossible-to-find Peruvian disco gems, exploring a variety of different styles, moods, and energy levels. 

Some of the tracks in this mix will be featured in an upcoming compilation to be released in early 2023 on @buhrecords, a Peruvian label run and curated by Luis Alvarado, who has provided valuable insights into this mix.

Peruvian Disco Outsiders / AXEL H & CAO BRAVO : El Mundo de Quilca

Diving into the musical magma, trying to reach its core... 

The fantastic 26th Music for Indoors Mix has been simmered by @sanjacozma 

Enjoy the brilliant journey this musician's mind has created for us. :) 

Sanja's new musical selection prologues the narrative of his self-uploaded mix "At the Water’s Edge“ https://soundcloud.com/sanjacozma/at-the-waters-edge that placed the listener in a warm, mellow, obscure journey, seamlessly floating through melancholy, beauty and weirdness, bringing with this follow up mix, some sort of a punchier counterpoint. 💥

That earlier mix caught @cobeia 's ear upon listening to it and lead to contact Cozma, who's been working hard in the past months creating this beauty for @ecoutesauvert 's MFI Mix series.

"Sharing musical selections as an introvert is a liberating feeling, especially knowing that there are people who have a similar appreciation of music." ✨
 
Sanja Cozma is a multi-instrumentalist, music producer and third hand of the musical project "Das Wettbüro", who released their first EP on the Düsseldorfian label @Candomblé

Live recording of the set by @axelhaxel from @ecoutesauvert EAV Tanz at Sameheads reopening weekend Saturday 05.02.23. A message from @axelhaxel:

"Thanks to all friends and music lovers who came out, this was definitely a legendary night that will remain in fond memory! For those who could not make it I decided to release the live recording. The selection for this set titled "Que tal America" is the product of several years of digging in Latin America, featuring mainly Peruvian but also Argentinian and Colombian productions (and some Italians, too) ranging from classic 70s orchestra-based disco, through smooth synth and city pop, tropical synth, jazzed-up psych funk to italo, cosmic disco and crazy hi-nrg wave and rock. Special thanks go out to Cobeia from @ecoutesauvert for the invitation. Thanks to Luis Alvarado from @buhrecords and Herles Falconi from @casalocasa for tips on certain Peruvian goodies, Ric Piccolo and Ariel Harari who compiled Síntesis Moderna, and Earl Orlog for an Italian gem. Big thanks also go out to Oscar Holguín for multitasking lights, smoke machine, and videos that night"

ANI PHOEBE x AXEL H x COBEIA b2b2b2b - EAV Tanz 05/08/23 @ Sameheads

MFI 30!!!💥 Ecoutes au Vert is thrilled to release this wonderful mix by two seasoned Berlin cats!

@Skism & @Hendrik_Stein probably crossed paths at a smokey Party 15 years ago. Being socialized with all kinds of music and deeply shaped by clubbing in Berlin, both got pretty bored with the Minimal & Tech-House dictatorship of the late 00s.

Starting to upload their own mixes, they became online friends. While @Hendrik_Stein was exploring the roots of club music and got lost in the obscurest realms of Disco, @Skism had a long-time addiction with Kosmische, Ambient and German Psychedelics, filed under Krautrock.

Since both of them are busy bees in the music and media worlds, it took another 10 years until they finally shared the decks at the @pastforward show on Cashmere Radio. A while after, they received a very unusual donation by an anonymous patron - the obscurest part of an unused and well-aged record collection! This present made them record their first mix together and brought them under the radar of @Cobeia from Ecoutes au Vert. --> www.soundcloud.com/hendrik_stein/postcards_with_skism

A year later and here is a second exquisite mix by the pair! 🔥

@Skism is a music lover & record collector (also known as the Wasn-part of DJ duo @wasnundwunderwaffel) who loves music so much that he sometimes has a hard time just working. He believes that there’s no bad genre and no bad instrument, just bad music.
 
@Hendrik_Stein is equally deep into music, if not more. A DJ and record collector who's been around for a long time, playing in many places and running with @Menqui and @kryptic_dj, the Past Forward broadcast on Cashmere Radio. With his partner in music & life @frinda_di_lanco, they craft the Ciao Amore Baci Parties and @avec_plaisir_records label. 

In 2023, Stein crafted mixes for the H.A.N.D. series by @sound-metaphors, @eclectics28 in the UK, and the long-running @the-dream-chimney. 

With Avec Plaisir Records, he founded a platform to release hand-picked rarities, working with the likes of cosmic legend DJ Stefan Egger as well as digging private press record releases from the 1970s to 90s.

Excited to release this awesome mix by MESTIZO for the MFI guest mix series! 💥 

@jpmestizo is a dedicated music enthusiast hailing from Montréal in Québec. 
It's a pleasure to welcome him on board and hear the following by him: 

''Since the pandemic up until today, I have spent countless hours listening to @ecoutesauvert and @cobeia's SoundCloud channels. This unique catalog significantly widened my musical taste and my ever-growing appreciation for global and unhurried sounds. 

Many thanks to Cobeia for his work! If you enjoy the music he puts out there, through this mix series, consider supporting via www.paypal.com/ecoutesauvert "

Indeed, that helps to pay the SoundCloud Pro account yearly subscription costs to keep all mixes accessible for everyone to enjoy. :) SoundCloud hides them when you stop to pay... :(

The mix is entitled: "Relieved Romantic" and here's something @jpmestizo says about it:

"This recording dedicates its first and last segments to slower songs that capture a specific emotion I associate with different moments from the past few years. From chanson francophone to street soul, going through folk, rock, and synth-pop, what ties this mix together isn't genre; it's my love for love songs! Cheesy? Obviously. What can I say? I do love me some fine and (even better) smelly cheeses.''

JP Metis is a Filipino-Québécois mestizo music lover from Montréal. The self-proclaimed ''relieved romantic'' (romantique soulagé) works as a copywriter and is a founding member of the Inner Circle collective. He started collecting records as a teenager and took up DJing in 2015. He recently cofounded @public_averti, a mix series anchored in collections' overlooked, enigmatic, and often poetic sections. Behind the booth, he has a full range of sensibilities spanning a variety of sounds and a taste for off-piste music, broadening the expectations of listeners and dancers.

Music for Indoors 31 - MESTIZO (Public Averti - Montréal)

Wonderfully Japan-loaded MFI 32 by music-lover PHONON, who's part of @communityvibes. 

He was recommended to Music for Indoors by @internationalb who was responsible for the great MFI 20 in our series! www.soundcloud.com/ecoutesauvert/music-for-indoors-20-international-bauer-konstanz

While PHONON's main interest lies in the early House sounds that once lit up Chicago and New York, he’s also always on the hunt for lesser-known records of different (brain-)danceable genres. 

This mix is the result of amazing hours @jan-abekrfcce spent in Japanese record shops during which Phonon mainly rummaged through boxes of domestic productions from the 80s and 90s.

Here some words from him, MFI / EAV asked him to share:

"I grew up in Singen (southwest Germany near the Swiss border) to the sounds of the Flamenco and Brazilian Guitar as well as Jazz - my father was a guitar and music teacher. I learned to play the trumpet and the drums (nowadays I turn to Synths and Drum machines.)  I have a thing for synth - Early Roland Pad sounds are my favorites.

In the context of music I like to research and understand historical contexts and roots and I try to translate that into my mixes. I started my collection with late 1980s House Music, loads of which I found when I studied & lived in NYC. 

I also lived in Milan for some years and return to Italy more than once a year. After that, I was in Leipzig. When traveling, I always try to find and bring back some special records, which might not be easily found back home."

Phonon lives nowadays in Berlin since 2019, although he travels and works remotely a lot. He has put up nights and DJed at Paloma, Beate Uwe and Bars. He also plays in Freiburg, Konstanz and countries where he spends time traveling/working remotely like in Italy, the US and Japan.

Paradise Mirage is a series of events and radio appearances that he organizes, dedicated to the early days of clubbing in the spirit of NYC and Chicago. www.paradise-mirage.com

Music for Indoors 32 - PHONON (Community Vibes - Berlin)

Laidback Vinyl mix recorded at Montreux Jazz Festival on 10th of July 2023, by the beautiful shores of Lake Léman. ⛵️🌄

@Cobeia was invited to play at the Belvedere / Bar des Artistes hosted by Dante's HiFi (Miami), before @rich-medina took over later for an ace set.

This mix is a kinda ode to the Montreux Jazz Festival, which was launched in 1967 by Claude Nobs.

Music for Indoors 33 comes from a reserved figure of Berlin's underground. ✨🌗 

Co-running R.i.O. label and being part of the monthly Past Forward Show on Cashmere Radio, @Menqui always strives to offer quality music. He DJs in Neukölln spots like @Sameheads, OTB, Ziegra11..., and at Fusion, @cosmicgathering, Nation of Gondwana, Zmar... Festivals. 

His wonderful mix for our Music for Indoors series www.instagram.com/ecoutesauvert, locks its slow rhythm & mood right from the start, flowing through deep ambient along meditative grooves. 

@Menqui was born in Pforzheim, a small city on the border of the beautiful black forest. After visiting Berlin a few times, he moved there in 2013. In his teenage years, his older Brother inspired him with his CD collection which was focused on US Hip-Hop and electronic projects like Prodigy, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and so on. He also had the chance to learn the violin, but the instrument never "clicked" with him, thus stopping around 13 years old. 

Later he turned his interests to Skateboarding and roots reggae, dub and jungle musically. As they didn't have any good events in their hometown, together with his good friend Benedikt Frey, they organized events called "Larifari", which were mainly focused on dub techno and deep house. 

Since then, @Menqui has spent much time in record shops and browsing the web discovering all kinds of music, from obscure German tracks from the 70s and 80s to psychedelic funk from all around the globe to more wavy stuff, Ambient, Krautrock, and much more...

In 2019, he founded @riolabel with @freybenedikt and @daloworks, to release experimental dance music with a psychedelic touch, which is also suited for home listening.

Special treat in Music for Indoors 34 by DJ, Producer and musician @sgytis! 🔥

In live performances, Gytis Simanavičius experiments with acoustic percussion instruments. 
Behind the decks, he shares his very colorful and original vinyl record collection. 

Spending a lot of time in the studio creating electronic music, his vinyl collection has expanded to include acoustic music to balance things out. S Gytis values uniqueness. When he hears an original sound, the record joins his possessions.  

When DJing, he enjoys playing long sets, where he can experience firsthand what he has packed into his bags. 

S Gytis is surrounded by like-minded people, friends, and other lovely companions. Being part of an active community brought one result of many to light: RAMU Records. The collective has released three albums, bringing people together for cozy events and sprinkling warmth at larger and smaller Lithuanian festivals.

For our series, Gytis connected deep & fresh, melancholic & positive in this wonderful mix reflecting his mindful passion for music. ❤️‍🔥

A few words from JEANNE: 

"This vinyl mix for the Music for Indoors series takes me out of my comfort zone, revealing a more introverted and personal side of my record collection.

These are records I’ve been lucky to come across over the last few years - music that usually keeps me company at home rather than on a podcast, in a club, or behind the decks of a cozy bar. I had a blast putting it together! I hope you will enjoy it too. :)

Expect a trip through a selection of intimate records from outer space, featuring early synth, cosmic, jazz-funk and folkloric sounds from Peru, French West Indies and my beautiful Réunion Island."

Much love from Marseille,

Jeanne

Thursday 15th of April 2016, Ecoutes au vert put up a special Tropical Party at Sameheads in Neukölln, Berlin. We were excited to welcome 3 awesome record collectors/djs from Canada, France and Switzerland, playing their first gig in Berlin. 

PHILIPPE NOEL & LES DIPLOMATES (aka MAMBO CHICK & JEAN TOUSSAINT) indeed brought the heat to Sameheads's low ceiling basement & people grooving in the bar above, playing only original 1950's to 1980's vinyls featuring the best Cumbia, Kompas, Guaracha, Gaitas, Son, Juju, Calypso, Afro-Colombian, Soukous, Afro Jazz, Sudanese music and much more... Killer melodies, heavy bass and irresistible rhythms that brought much love & smiles and got people dancing like crazy. 

This is the 2nd Part of the over 4 hours mix that was actually the 1st ever meeting of these 3 dedicated record collectors and awesome people. Prior to that, they had only exchanged about music and records via the internet. Surely, they will meet again behind the decks...

Music for Indoors 5th mix comes from DANGEROUS DAVE 

Met at dawn behind the turntables of a neo-hippie seaside festival on a mythical Mediterranean island, @dangerdangerdave proved to be a dangerously good selector and DJ as well as an all-around lovely guy. 

DJing in the Berlin underground and at parties and Festivals in Europe, he always brings the good vibes w/ the finest 80's funk, disco, cosmic and edits.

For Music for Indoors, he took the breezy side streets of his musical taste, teasing us only at the mix's end, with the prospect of arriving at a party where he's playing. Before that, he coasts us through hazy 80's island-influenced vibes. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip. ⛵️ Many thanks Dave :)

Taku DJs across Asia and runs "Junktion”, a party based in Hong Kong since 2013, that expands the possibility of dance music with an open-minded attitude. 

Taku crafted his skills in the DJ booth for the last 20 years and is known for his signature trippy groove sound. His sets turn the dancefloor into a gentle meditation and mind-bending experiment. 

And that's where he leads us in the expansive ambient mix he made when we reached out to him to record something special. That's what we intended for this mix series when we reached out to DJs, record collectors & musicians inciting them to record something they often don't have the opportunity to play. :)

Music for Indoors #15

Music for Indoors 15 - INGWA (Berlin)

12th mix in our series is a very special treat feat. a feast of Ethiopian music! 💕  

An exciting trip filled with synths, organs, wah wahs, pop, electronic, instrumental & traditional sounds from the 80’s & early 90’s! 🎹 Plenty of vocal explosions and a few stars like Asnakech Worku and Aster Aweke. 🔥

A fascinating complementary facet of Ethiopian music, right after its golden era. ✨ This is not the 60's nor the 70's ethio-jazz or ethio-groove you may be accustomed to, but a whole lot of 80's goodness from many lesser-known performers, where often electronics are to be heard in the production.

Mostly rare tunes from Addis and various regions of this huge African country, all lovingly lifted from tapes by @Mitmitta, one of the Westerner's foremost Ethiopian music connoisseurs. 🇪🇹 

@Mitmitta is an Amharic speaking Norwegian and one of the main collectors who was based in Ethiopia until COVID-19 (2020), focusing on Ethiopian, Eritrean and Sudanese music. He started a music shop in Addis-Ababa in 2010 called Mitmitta Musika alongside a blog and Mixcloud, where he shared some of the best music from the region. www.mixcloud.com/mitmitta
