Episode 56 - Selected & Mixed by Mist

At the vanguard of Melbourne's bustling underground music scene you’ll find Surprise Chef. A band very much on the rise, who with two exceptional albums under their belts, are picking up a rapidly swelling fanbase across the world. Working out of the College of Knowledge stable (their home / studio / record label namesake), the band’s take on instrumental cinematic soul and funk has connected with listeners across multiple scenes and genres. Their intoxicatingly laidback sound, which pairs expertly crafted hooks with a seriously funky, watertight rhythm section, has earned them a wide appeal and made their tracks ripe for interpretation.

When floating ideas for potential remixers, two names came to the fore, Masters At Work and Harvey Sutherland. MAW have a long history with Mr Bongo having remixed the Brit-funk classic ‘Dancing In Outer Space’ by Atmosfear for the label in 1997, and releasing the original track, ‘Brazilian Beat’ in 2000. With their studio collaboration now back in full swing, it was the perfect time to inject the MAW magic back into the label. They picked ‘Crayfish Caper’ from the band’s first album ‘All News Is Good News’ as their choice of track to remix. The ’Nuyorican Broken Remix' sees MAW stepping into their Nuyorican Soul guise. A Latin shuffle meets an afro-beat rhythm and some very chunky broken beats, which all underpins an infectious melody constructed around the original track’s bassline. They pair this with horns and synths that add a flourish and reveal new layers as the track develops. It’s a sound that is uniquely Nuyorican Soul and a welcome return for fans of this aspect of their phenomenal output. The 'Masters At Work Remix’ is straight up vintage MAW in House mode. It takes many of the same elements found in the 'Nuyorican Broken Remix' and points things in a House direction. It’s 4/4, but the beats have that Kenny Dope trademark swing. Tough, but oozing soul. Add to that heavy bass, vocal cuts, fierce horns and saxophone, layered synths, and that undeniable MAW bounce. 

Rounding off the package is the remix from Harvey Sutherland. Having made international waves since 2013 with his unique take on dance music, Harvey has long been on Mr Bongo’s remix radar, but until now we hadn’t managed to get that ambition over the line. This time around the stars aligned perfectly. Surprise Chef and Harvey Sutherland are both Melbourne residents and they had already been working on projects together. The band set things up and Harvey chose to remix ‘New Ferrari’ from their latest album, ‘Daylight Savings’. His take on the track sees things venturing into dubby-disco territory. A dreamy, cosmic, bass-heavy, sweeping synth-led workout, that retains yet reinterprets the catchy-as-hell hooks from the original track. A roller with serious muscle!

Masters At Work & Harvey Sutherland Remixes

PREMIERE : Surprise Chef - New Ferrari (Harvey Sutherland's Weird Flex)

Berlin based DJ and producer Powel is the author of stellar remixes and productions of incredible musicality. His signature rhythms, percussion work and captivating atmospheres have the amazing ability to take you into the depth of aural pleasure.
Words from the artist: 
I usually don't have much to say about my mixes and this time is no different. It's music from the softer spectrum of electronic dance music (I hate that this term is usually used to describe a very specific genre)recorded on a rainy midweek afternoon. I think it'll speak for itself if you allow it to do so.

The orbital climatron which contains the relict flora from the past plant epochs is the clearest demonstration of evolutionary diversity. In the cascade of appearances, the intonations of the magnolia greenhouse are easily recognized, sounding with all sorts of timbres and phonetic phenomena. A live beat of creative interfaces permeates everywhere, adjusting the frequency of signal during the synaptic transmission. Steve O'Sullivan, Sven Weisemann and Grad_U are studying new hybrid compounds as part of the botanical expertise.

Manjumasi Podcast

Manjumasi Podcast 022: Naveen G

People who know me know I don’t like playing short sets or doing short mixes. I haven’t done a mix for about 3 years because I can cross so many genres which you cant do in a 60 minute or 90 minute set. Doing mixes so short doesn’t really show what I can do. For me it’s about the journey. The interesting bits in-between all the chaos that build it up to the chaos making those peaks more enjoyable. It’s easy to showcase a short mix of hits. The trick is being to program a mix for about 3 hours that’s actually interesting and not just full of peak moments. So when I was asked by 333 to do a mix knowing I would be able to showcase and cross most of my genres, I jumped at the chance.

What we see, what we hear, what we feel. We are guided by our senses. The very senses that make us human. Light and sound are similar, but quite different at the same time.  Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. They can both be reflected, and they can both be refracted.
As we grow, as we change, we are the medium of our life's progression. This sound, this story; is one of change, of evolution. It reflects, it refracts, it evolves. This set is a tale, and an ode to movement. Let it take you where it may. texture, sound, groove, and feeling.

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.

A Far Blue concept by Mark Slee - 'Winter Light'

DJing - the path to myself

“DJing in front of an audience is always an exploration of the borders of my comfort zone. Stepping out of this space where everything feels familiar, safe and known always needs energy and trust. I am so greatful for all the spaces and moments people created for me to explore the outskirts of my comfort zone. The unknown, to me, is exciting and is the place where adventure equal freshness and freedom. The moment when time stops, thoughts turn into flow, the connection to me and the space around me is one. On these different paths I meet different sides of myself. On the path where I explore and expand my comfort zone, I encounter insecurity, fear, trust and selflove.”

Mark Slee AVfib Live Film on Robot Heart YouTube - 
 https://youtu.be/78fKtE8yZAQ?si=Zl0kY_7tVZA1cvLE

It was an absolute treat to perform this set at the Robot Heart residency. A fantastic space with excellent sound, closely situated to Burning Man's physical roots, celebrating a broad creative spectrum of music, lighting, and physical installation art — what's not to love? 

It was the perfect setting to debut this "A/Vfib Live" show. After 20+ years of making dance music and 10+ years working on LED art, the concept of a singular integrated performance of original audio-visual content had been slowly gathering steam in my mind. 

With this opportunity, the moment finally felt right. Huge gratitude to the whole Robot Heart team and the Defibrillator lighting crew for creating such a unique multi-media canvas to play on, for trusting me to explore new material, and for fostering so much creative development along the way. Special thanks to @shafferj for "seeing the light" many years ago and steadily encouraging this work ever since, from freezing our asses off shooting photos at night to developing supremely cozy butt-warming interior lighting environments.

Happy New Year to you all! Sometimes it feels each year goes by quicker and quicker, but it feels good to rewind, slow down and live in the moment! 

We are absolutely thrilled to have one of the pioneers of deep, dreamy and electronic grooves. Mark Slee doesn't need any formal introductions, but like all quality artists it is important to provide a little background and context to give you listeners a nugget of information to take away with you :) 

He's been on the scene for over 20 years and therefore has an idea of what groove is all about. Teaming up with Atish in 2016 they created the label @manjumasi , which has been a leader in releasing quality deep house productions with a hint of quirkiness to differentiate themselves from the masses. A reference point for the connoisseurs. 

Once you click play on this mix you are suddenly already 20 minutes in without even realizing it. "Good" or "Great" DJs is a term that is far too easily used in the current electronic scene, but when you listen to the transitions in this mix, the track selection and the music Journey that Mark brings you on, you can now understand what differentiates your every day DJ to one that actually understands what music is all about. 

Many thanks for the dope mix Mark.

Sunset Grooves Podcast #247 - Mark Slee

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.”

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.”

For the 62nd interpretation of Far Blue, we have the talented duo Javier Salazar who have put together something special. It's one of the more experimental perceptions of the concept, weaving together downtempo, ambient and abstract sounds. Besides running the inspiring Klape Nunsen label, they are amazing selectors when it comes to the deeper and dubby sounds. This mix showcases how subtly they create an atmosphere that makes you float.

"Settled in the studio, we started playing records we felt like sharing. Each of us behind a turntable, doodling without anything specific in mind, occasionally at the same time letting sounds overlap. One of us pressed the record button, and we simply let it unfold, free of knowing where it would lead. We rarely felt so immersed in a recording, selecting each track in the moment. Depth, imperfections and unexpected blends."

We are proud to present you our 47th release. For this release we have label founder Stefano Richetta back on the label with his first ever solo track. After his very successful debut EP which he made together with Donatello and Arnas D on our label he is now ready to show his individual work as a producer.

Stefano Richetta is the driving force behind one of Holland’s most popular techno organizations that has a reach and fan base till far over the Dutch borders. An untamable dedication and energy that cause good musical vibrations when he is spinning his records. Meet Stefano Richetta. The big small guy who is rarely seen out there without a smile and friendly gesture. A craftsman who’s roots go back to when he was a club kid in a time when his profession and scene more or less came to life in Holland. These days he is a game changer as a promoter and adds an uplifting and accessible vibe to the dj line-up as an artist, sharing his parties and gigs with the biggest names of the industry.

It are a vigorous passion for electronic music that pulses in every fiber of his body and above all a Calvinistic approach to his labor, delivering no nonsense hard work, that brought him from the kick-start of his career as a dj in 1997 to where he stands today. Being the promoter of CLICK he shares the stage edition after edition with the most relevant names of the industry, carefully guarding the atmosphere of his parties. But when it comes to the key to the stunning success story of CLICK his own dj sets can not be dismissed. He brings a contagious mix of house, deep and tech, with positive energy and a big smile on his ever happy face. From beats that set the pace of electronic music forward to the epic records that forever shaped the scene as we know it today. Stefano Richetta spins them into a convincing and flowing story and keeps the boys and girls in front of him energized on the dance floor. A true dj, who continuously seeks interaction with his audience, the location and the artists around him, steering each party steadily to the right level and in good spirits. His musical signature, the parties he organizes and his persona listen to the words friendly, honest and epic. The kind of artist people love to be entertained by, organizations want to cooperate with and everybody likes to see coming back.

Stefano Richetta - Wegtrekker [Click Records]

“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’
