The 22nd Far blue concept is delivered by San Fransisco based DJ and producer Mark Slee.

Mark has taken an interesting approach while creating this blissful mix. The tempo makes a gentle arc up from 120 to 124 bpm and then back down again, mirroring the way the sun bends low over the horizon during a short winter day. From this oblique angle the light glows and glistens. 

So, for the next hour, let Mark take you on a ride which will warm you up for the cold days to come.

Bespoke Musik follows up their acclaimed VA: Volume One with Powelstad, an EP that is equal parts groove and storytelling, courtesy of longtime collaborators (and borderline telepathic duo) Powel and Christian Voldstad. 

The story began in 2015 at Brooklyn’s Lot 45, where Powel dazzled on the decks and a young Christian Voldstad warmed up the crowd, proving that even scrappy openers can steal hearts. Nearly a decade of countless B2B sets, Burning Man, Berlin, and beyond, the two have fine-tuned their chemistry and along the way, listeners coined the name “Powelstad”.  

Powelstad EP is the result of more than a year of collaborative sessions in Powel’s Berlin studio. It’s a concise expression of both artists' shared musical tastes, incorporating hardware synthesizers and recorded organic instruments. Rounding things out is a stunning remix by Samihe of Minds Alike Records—because perfection always needs a cherry on top.  

Bespoke Musik is proud to finally release the shared production output from some of our favorite family members. Powelstad is not just quality house music; it’s a vibe, a journey, and a gentle reminder to stretch before you hit the dancefloor. Out Jan 31st, 2025 on Bespoke Musik—don’t sleep on it.

Mark Slee - Slinky XIII: Twilight [May 2025]

“We need to wake up and fall in love with the Earth. Our personal and collective happiness and survival depends on it.”
— thich nhat hanh

A sonic meditation on the planet’s delicate beauty and the collective power to create healing through unity and love, this mix attempts to echo our fragile ecosystems—tender forests, fleeting rivers, and vulnerable oceans. It gently calls us to nurture our shared home with love and compassion, weaving hope for future generations.

Interview

Toka Mix #89: YokoO

Justice

The driving rhythm of a heavy bassline grounds this journey into the American past. Ethereal pads and atmospheric layers capture a powerful sense of nostalgia for moments lost to time.

Past Times

Melodic deep house flowing like an eternal tide - where warmth and melancholy drift into infinity.

Infinite Shore

“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’
