11 Benedikt Frey - My Cat & Me (Lullaby for L)

Orion Nebula w. Zitto invites Amelia Holt [29.08.25]

Hot seducers. Two of them. On one 7inch. The A-Side is called “Happen”. It comes from prolific Tokyo based DJ and producer Hoshina Anniversary. A simple drum machine groove, a manic melody, witching siren sounds, psychedelic voices, some soft chords, and soulful high-pitched singing, somewhere between Dam-Funk coolness and Ian Svenonius- The-Make-Up sixties pop longing. One for warm sexy nights under neon lights. Out there in psychic realms. The flip brings a Dolphins interpretation. Yes, that feverish trio behind R.i.O., consisting of Nadia D'Alò, Benedikt Frey and Menqui. Their freshly recorded version comes with haunting nonchalant singing, displaying the tunes core melody as a more prominent actor of the play. Michael-Mann-Pop- Nostalgia with a baroque touch, that waves dark-ish. Even some Jon Hassle feeling is in there. Hoshina Anniversary disclosed, that the original song is inspired by jazz musicians like Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius and Keith Jarrett. None of them is directly stylistically audible. But their kind of blue is all over. On the A as well as on the B. Twice soul music for the free.

Will You - Part of The Picture 
©Oleeva
October 24th, 2025

Will You unveils his debut album Part of the Picture — a deeply personal collection of 13 tracks that move between ambient meditations and understated deep house and techno excursions, the record feels designed for long journeys, quiet autumn evenings, and the in-between hours when everything softens.

There’s something hypnotic about the way 'Closed Eyes, Gentle Move' unfolds — like walking into a clearing in the woods and realizing the forest is breathing with you. It stands out as one of the album’s heavier moments, aiming to transport you into that hazy, late-night state where the boundary between you and the music dissolves — when it’s enough to simply close your eyes and move gently.

C.A.R. - Idle Eyes (Benedikt Frey Remix)

Lyrics:


2x
And so, 
Beneath this endless night,
I vow once more:
Though time erases,

My love will wander the dark
Seeking you,
Though death divides,
Until the stars themselves 


Once,
We swore under the stars
That nothing could break us.
Now those same stars 
Watch me alone,
Of promises buried in dust.

I long for the days 
when your voice was enough
But those days—
Like petals in the river—
Have drifted beyond my reach.


2x
And so, 
Beneath this endless night,
I vow once more:
Though time erases,

My love will wander the dark
Seeking you,
Though death divides,
Until the stars themselves

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
