Talk Talk – Der Interview-Podcast von frohfroh

Nothing feels like before.

Not because everything has changed, but because you have.
Somewhere between now and then, something softened.

Time stretched, shadows lengthened, and the pulse beneath it all slowed — just enough for you to notice.

You don’t need to know where you’re going anymore.
It’s enough to drift, to dissolve, to listen.

Swiss producer Ben Kaczor and Swedish producer Martinou have been tracing parallel lines across the deeper shades of house and techno for over a decade. What began as a connection through SoundCloud has since bloomed into an understated, sonic kinship — now embodied in their joint alias: Terik Hensen.

With Nothing Feels Like Before, the 31st edition in the Discos Movimiento mix series, the duo opens a portal into something restrained yet expansive. A meditative flow of dub-inflected grooves and minimal percussion that moves like breath — steady, intimate, and full of space.

It’s not a beginning or an end.
Just a moment. A shift. A subtle unfolding.
And maybe that’s enough.

Tarik Hensen - Nothing Feels Like Before / Mixtape Discos Movimiento #31

Our Belgian connection runs deep, built on shared moments, mutual admiration, and a steady stream of talent that never seems to dry up. The latest to surface is Ben Kamal: Brussels-based DJ, promoter, and soon-to-be label boss. In recent years, Ben has been a staple in clubs like C12, Fuse, and Funke, as well as festivals like Paradise City and Horst. He’s carved out a sound that’s both precise and personal, equal parts deep, minimal, and melancholic. As a resident of Lola Haro’s Small Steps series and curator of nights at bis.club, he’s been steadily shaping a mood, a narrative, a space. And with the first release on his new label ov guidance about to drop, featuring a.brehme and signall kommt (aka z@p), that space is about to get even more defined.

Listening to the mix Ben made for us feels like watching dusk fold into night in slow motion. The arc is patient, but the details are razor-sharp: fluttering hats, muted basslines, strange shadows between the kick and the silence. There’s movement, but it’s not linear. It loops, it lingers, it pulls you inward. It’s not about big moments, it’s about micro-decisions that add up to something more enduring. Call it dusk-lake energy. Call it perfect for the other side.

Listen and dream. here, music is the medicine.

Mantra ๒ Benedikt Frey

November 2021 I started a commissioned mix series with people I truly admire. Music has always been a big part of who I am, and it naturally shapes the world I create around the salon. As much as I love hair and the space we’ve built, I also love music — the way it shapes moods, holds space, and shifts how we feel. That’s why I wanted to share it by inviting people from different fields to put together a journey for us — a mix or playlist we can play while working.

What I look for is music that makes you want to listen, let go, move, and dive in. Sounds that can carry you completely, or simply colour the room in the background.

For this edition I once again asked a long-time favourite, Carsten Jost (Dial). The request was simple and open: somewhere between ambient and a personal journey. A mix that builds slowly, shifts, and surprises. Music for the salon during the day, and for those moments when you just want to drift, sway, and lose yourself.

What came back was exactly that.

"For September’s Seven Bells Knocking show, we have a special guest.
The first hour comes from DZ GAS. After that, a mix recorded at Radio Vilnius by Marijus Klimaitis - a long-time figure in the local scene, known from the Smala parties and 12 Inčų Po Žeme. His recording leans into the faster, electric side: sharp rhythms, teasing transitions, and a restless drive throughout."

Monate Arbeit in ein Festival zu stecken, welches dann nicht stattfinden kann, tut weh! Aber das Kollektiv rund um das Balance Club / Culture Festival lässt sich so schnell nicht entmutigen. Sie wollen viel mit diesem Festival und haben deswegen Wege gefunden, jedem Act (außer einer Künstler*in) die Chance zu geben, dabei zu sein und jedes Thema, welches erarbeitet wurde, zu besprechen und Workshops anzubieten. Vom 20. bis 24. Mai 2020 könnt ihr dabei sein! Dieses Mal besonders niedrigschwellig, egal wo ihr gerade seid. Also alles wie gehabt beim Balance? Nur neu und irgendwie anders! Wie, darüber hat Kathi Groll mit einer der Macher*innen des Festivals, Ulla Heinrich, gesprochen.
