"Anton Kubikov retrospective  of tracks / dub • tape 2012 - 2022"

Will you has been an artist we have been really into for over a long time now, and we are very happy that he was intrigued by our concept when we reached out to him. The music that Will puts out there through himself as an artist, or through the work he does at @oleevarecords always hits the sweet spot. This time is no exception, as he has put together his Far Blue concept with such care and emotion.

"Everytime I have a mix I get a little closer to really finding the sound i want to put out. I used to be in a duo and I had to get used compromise. Now I'm doing my own thing I can fully be myself and put out whatever I want. This is definitely me, 100%. If someone wondered what to expect from Will You , this set is the answer.  I was feeling pretty emotional when I started recording this and I had no plan of what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. I flowed through some pretty deep, percussive house, minimal techno and plenty of rolling acid bits that I would love to play out. The mood and colour of the music just hit the spot and put me in a zone where I couldn't stop. I was hoping to record something around an hour long but it didn't feel right to end it any sooner than I did. I hope a few people stick it out and get to the end, I reckon they'll enjoy it if they do. Big love xoxox"

From today, you can listen to Will's 2 hours, 35 minutes and 15 seconds of his interpretation of Far Blue. Enjoy...

We also venture deep into Africa, spanning from the island rhythms of São Tomé & Principe to a harmonious region in southern Nigeria, where Muslims and Christians are united in dance by the music of Al Haji Waziri Oshomah.

Peter Marks @ Canyon Vibration 2022

"For this mix I wanted to do something very introspective and calm. It’s made up of mainly ambient, beat-less tracks pieced together with recent field recordings I’ve taken out and about. It feels like 1 long track to me, rather than a collection of tracks played one after the other. I used to have a few mixes that I would really enjoying falling asleep to and I genuinely hope a few people fall asleep to this one. Thanks for having me, enjoy! "

Blankhaus Podcast 042 - Will You

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.”

A Far Blue concept by Bas Dobbelaer - 'Echoes'

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.”

roadtrip mixtape #1 - the night we met

“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’
