Usually there is a concept behind all my podcasts and sets on Soundcloud. I often orientate myself on the sound that the respective podcast series stands for or try to create something that reflects my current mood. The whole thing is completely detached from what I would play in a club at night - a club is a club and a podcast is a podcast!

My goal is to tell a story in my mixes. And these stories can be diverse, whether at 82 or 135bpm, whether downtempo or minimal, ambient or deep house. My personal aspiration as a DJ has always been to take my listeners on a journey with my sets and not just pack my 10 favorite tracks together. That seems too easy to me.

But there are also constraints with this approach, but Flow Music managed to finally open up to me and shed this "stubbornness". The target is to create a mix with a length of 3:33:33 - that's damn long if you usually only aim for like 60 minutes. Due to this challenge, I tried to free myself and imagined a situation - being at an open air festival. Groovy house tracks should go hand in hand with organic elements. It doesn't matter how old a track is. I just started playing, imagining that I was at a festival during the day. I hope you can feel it and enjoy the mix.

much love, @bonjourben

Bio: Originally a child of reggae, Bonjour Ben started DJing in his early twenties. With the help of the tight DJ community, he has established his organic sound has become a staple of the organic and intercultural house scene, including appearances in Berlin (Watergate, About Blank, Sisyphos, katerblau), Amsterdam, Zürich, London, Sao Paulo, NYC, Cape Town and more...

Ben's approach is hypnotic, he embarks us gently but surely in his dreamy universe. He is very creative and delicate. His sets feels like an endless flow, two hours becomes six and feels like ten minutes. We forget about time and the outside world, we are drown into the present moment and don’t want to leave this world filled with softness.
