XXXII Anna Wall
Respecting pandemic strictures, Robert Johnson Club hibernates since mid-march. Its iconic view from the balcony can now be seen on the Robert Johnson homepage in real-time, as long as the club remains closed. Each SEE YOU SOON Ambient Mix has been crafted with this feature in mind—the choice of mix, day or night time, is at your discretion.

"See You Soon" - Ambient Mix XXXII - Anna Wall

Over the past time, @samthetard has put together his Far Blue concept. It is an honor for us to be able to showcase his interpretation of Far Blue, and we are very excited about the beautiful mix that Sam has put together. Alongside the mix, we are very happy to start publishing the Far Blue concepts under a new style of artworks. This has been in the making for a while already, and we feel that Sam's mix is the perfect start for this new direction.

This mix represents, for Sam, a desire to connect to an internal far blue. A blue that embodies self improvement and reflection, that can only come after excavating what was previously there. His goal with this mix was to convey that mixture of hope & melancholy that come with the work involved in improving one’s mental health and outlook. Hoping others might connect to it and the emotions inside as much as he did when he made it.

A Far Blue concept by Sam_ - 'Excavation'

We are very happy to present IT-XPO as the next artist showing his perception of Far Blue. For this mix, he decided to go originals only, which he has never done before. Released and unreleased, some tracks even forgotten about until playing...

“I tend to be a very nostalgic person but not with my music. Always looking ahead but never back. I thought in this new year, I'd bounce around from old to new to old... to new. My music has always been to soundtrack my commutes and travels, a way to get lost in the movements. Listen on your way to work, on your way home.”

'Make your mark'

For the next Far Blue concept, @aspetuck has taken the time to put together his perception of Far Blue. Apart from being a very kind person, he is also a very talented producer and DJ who puts lots of emotion into his productions and mixes - and this mix is no different.

"This set was recorded in my living room in upstate New York on a snowy Saturday in March with two Pioneer CDJ 2000NXSs & an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer. After making pancakes for the kiddo, I jumped right into it. I got back from a couple of days in London at the end of February which has me feeling particularly inspired & focused. DJing and making music has always been a really important form of creative relief for me - being a parent & stay at home dad, it feels more important than ever these days so I was really excited to record this one. I decided to play a bunch of unreleased Aspetuck tunes in addition to a bunch of stuff that I'm really into right now."

A Far Blue concept by Aspetuck - 'Music For Daydreaming'

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.'

for the backroom and basement dwellers among us, summer offers a rare side quest to less darkened surrounds. fase uno of these dances are ye olde aluminium room 2s that navigate the a-roads and home our journeys. 

I got this mix just in time for one of those trips two weeks back. dubbed out, cosmic, with zero concern to conform, it’s 3hrs ov mix totally at ease with letting go. music like this could only come from one of the realest, jaye ward. being introduced to jaye’s sounds from early on has been of one of life’s better coincidences. 

reaching back to those early days, jaye always reminds u that [somehow] this thing is still alive.

Outsiders: Customs @ Kiosk Radio 09.12.2024

A crimson moon veiled in indigo haze glows with quiet intensity

The portal shimmers in turquoise light, half hidden, half revealed

Its presence carries both weight and release, a threshold of burning stillness

Breathe into silence

“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’
