For the next Far Blue concept we have the first solo mix of one of the co-founders of Far Blue, abh:

'The foundation of this mix was put together during a 5 week trip traveling down Australia’s east coast, during which I started reading more of Rebecca Solnit’s ‘A field guide to getting lost’. I wrote down a couple of quotes about the concept of desire that she discusses, and one that stuck to me the most was the following:

"We treat desire as a problem to be solved, address what desire is for and focus on that something and how to acquire it rather than on the nature and the sensation of desire. Though often it is the distance between us and the object of desire that fills the space in between with the blue of longing. I wonder sometimes whether with a slight adjustment of perspective it could be cherished as a sensation on its own terms, since it is as inherent to the human condition as blue is to distance? If you can look across the distance without wanting to close it up, if you can own your longing in the same way that you can own the beauty of that blue that can never be possessed?”

This mix was put together with this this thought in mind. Like all my other mixes that I have recorded at home until now, this mix has no intention to be for the dance floor, but specifically for time spent alone. Which is when desire is most prominent.'

- 'But in this world we actually live in, distance ceases to be distance and to be blue when we arrive in it. The far becomes the near, and they are not the same place.'

“The world is blue at its edges and in its depths... For many years I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go. For the blue is not in the place those miles away at the horizon... Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.” 

- Rebecca Solnit from ‘A Field Guide to Getting Lost’
