Dusk Delay 006 - Lord Of The Isles

Kyryl Polozyuk knows firsthand about the secrets of the Martian caves which have amazing acoustics due to their impressive size and many giant stalactites. The eternal silence is occasionally broken by the melodious roll call of basalt columns, the rustle of burning primus or the rhythmic noise of oxygen cylinders.

Music is in everything. Malin Genie, Per Hammar and Silverlining are dissecting the excitations of infrasound waves as part of a planetary expedition.

Dusk Delay 007 - Lord Of The Isles

For their second installment, the Chateau Chepere crew brings on board legendary producer Stephan Laubner under his STL moniker, with four time warping pieces of music. With his distinctive and intricate sonic palette, Laubner extracts from his hardware different musical colors and shapes to produce singular atmospheres. Opening up the EP is Fly Fly, an epic 11 min minimal house trip full of tension and excitement, followed by Eargrind, an eerie, laid back Detroit leaning ballad. On the flip is Light Up, a spaced out, playful and bittersweet number that will revitalize any hazy after-hours dancefloor. Closing up the EP is Unlike Dislike, a quirky, jacking and mischievous techno workout for the packed club. This diverse ep will pull the listeners and dancers into Laubner's multifaceted, low key but captivating universe.

A. Madhouse Dub feat. Kristian Harborg
B. Melbourne Bolero

When did we write these songs? How long did we let them collecting digital dust before we decided to put them out? Memory is a difficult thing these days. But thanks to Swedish saxophone virtuoso Kristian Harborg these two songs suddenly re-surfaced, with new relevance and purpose. Taladitionalists will hear a familiar sound, as we stick to deep & dubby Kraut disco, fine-tuned for intimate stadiums yet again. Can a song be too long? Let’s find out! Thanks for listening.

We are happy to share with you Kooscha’s interpretation of Far Blue. 

“This mix contains some music I was listening to and discovering when I lived in and travelled around Cologne for 3 months earlier this year. Everything that felt like a perfect soundtrack for long train rides and zoning out, looking out into the far blue. Mix was recorded back in my Sydney home. “

As he elegantly fuses dub, minimal and more blissful tracks, Kooscha has created an uplifting experience that truly showcases his mixing and selection capabilities. 

“Are our lives predetermined or are we in control? A long distance train journey into an unknown city feels a certain way. I cannot help but wonder if this is analogous to life itself.”

A Far Blue concept by Kooscha - 'Predetermined / Unknown'

Kooscha is a Ukrainian-born and Warrang-based artist known for his signature deep and dubby textures. 

Taking things methodically and slowly, one beat at a time, Kooscha’s taste is informed by years of crate digging and experimentation. He resides in the realms of minimal house and dub techno, while effortlessly avoiding being bound by them. His finesse behind the decks and attention to detail is remarkable making him one not only to watch, but one to hear, digest, and be inspired by.

As an artist, Kooscha found early success with an ambient alias that garnered attention from online communities and got him his first international performance at age 19. Years later, inspired by Sydney’s underground music scene, he kept refining his production and bringing his soundscapes closer to the dance floors with deep rhythms and crunchy percussion.

For the next Far Blue concept, we have Kyiv based artist Vera Logdanidi who has put together her perception of Far Blue. Vera is a skilled producer, but also a beautiful storyteller with her sets. Someone who takes strong responsibility and initiative in the Ukranian underground electronic music scene with Rhythm Büro, which obviously faces big challenges during these difficult times. Traveling to international gigs isn't easy for her either:

"Since the nearest airport is 28 hours away from Kyiv, I have a lot of time for reflection and getting things done during my travels, often in trains or during stops. I recorded this mix in Budapest during a short layover. This mix isn’t about perfectionism, but rather about the mood, embracing the moment, and enjoying the journey. Let this music be the soundtrack to your days and the events they bring"

We feel honored an inspiring artist and person like Vera took the time to craft her interpretation of Far Blue for us, and we're excited to share it with you here.

A Far Blue concept by Vera Logdanidi - 'Stops and Sounds'

Today we are happy to share with you Bas Dobbelaer’s interpretation of Far Blue. The Amsterdam based DJ and producer is known for his distinct style, floating between energies with odd signatures and atmospheric sounds. 

With Echoes, Bas Dobbelaer takes you on an introspective journey where shifting rhythms and immersive atmospheres intertwine, creating a very deep contribution to the series.

“With this mix I tried to find the deeper layer of certain tracks and not limit myself too much with different tempo’s ranges. If it fits the vibe and helping the flow, it’s probably the right spot.

Creating a mix is an interesting creative outlet to discovering new possibilities and refining the art of setting the tone. Balancing on that thin line with endless opportunities, reflects the perfect capture of the feeling and learnings of today.”

We are very excited to share Theef’s perception of Far Blue with you today. After years of work on these productions, he has now compiled an almost 3 hour long mix of his original and unreleased works.

‘Temporal Futures’ drifts through the shadows of time, weaving together fleeting moments of light and darkness. Each track is a glimpse into distant dreamscapes—some soft and ethereal, others pulsing with mystery and edge. From the depths of ambient oceans to the glow of cosmic dancefloors, Temporal Futures unfolds like a journey across forgotten timelines and fictional realities.

“This mixtape came to life while I was back on my island, Crete—a place where time feels slower, yet the landscape constantly shifts around you. The sound of the sea, the wind across the mountains, and the endless open skies seeped into the process. Crete's nature has a way of blending brightness with a sense of the unknown, so I tried to reflect that duality in the music. Some tracks echo the stillness of quiet nights by the water, while others capture the pulse of walking through old city streets or the wildness of the island’s more quiet and forgotten corners.”

REFRACTION Podcast Series #14 - Kooscha b2b Thomas Carmody [Vinyl Mix]

Next up, we have Amsterdam-based producer and visual artist Tensen Park sharing his perception of Far Blue with us. For this mix, he was inspired by the idea of meandering between more human and emotional songs and more alien/ethereal material. This  has resulted in a beautiful one-hour journey flowing through ambient, electronica, breaks and downtempo.

“I love the idea of zooming out on our planet and humanity. Not too far away, but far enough that you can’t hear the distinct voices anymore; yet close enough to get what it means to be human. Like squinting your eyes so everything gets comfortably vague and blurred together. Emotional, but not identified with stories. Just distorted and subdued visions, mixed with the unknown. 

I tried to give this feeling a place in sound with a bunch of my favorite songs and some of my own creations.”

A Far Blue concept by Tensen Park - 'World from afar'

We’re excited to share the Far Blue perception of Zürich-based Serenne with you today. After catching her live this summer, we were pulled in by the way she blends lush, dreamy sounds with darker moods. While keeping things subtle and immersive, she brings that same energy and depth to this one-hour mix.

“I recently had a conversation with Ben Kaczor, who mentioned an artist I hadn’t heard of before: Hilma af Klint, a Swedish visionary whose work immediately spoke to something inside me. Touched by her paintings, I printed two of her blue-hued pieces — The Ten Largest, No. 1 (1907) and Childhood and Primordial Chaos (1906–1907) — hung them above my setup, and started recording this one-take mix, letting myself drift into the world they opened.

But as I listened back, I found myself entering something else entirely — something that goes beyond those paintings — something deeper, something that transforms. A space beyond sight. That’s where the journey begins for me. And I hope that, for whoever listens, it becomes something personal too. Maybe even a small doorway to something deeper, something invisible… just as Hilma found through her art.

This mix also features beautiful tracks from many dear friends — I feel grateful for each of their creations.”

FACT mix 720 - Barker (Aug '19)

“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’
