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.

This was a very special night playing records at RŪMU in Portugal. 

A note about vinyl, a medium many of us love. Playing vinyl for me is more pleasurable, even if it’s less convenient. It’s also more vulnerable, and one thing I like about this set is it’s illustrative of the path travelled this year. This is an unedited recording, straight from the booth at RŪMU. I haven’t shared a set in over a year, largely as my perspective and taste have been shifting faster than my desire to share beyond the dancers in the room when the music is being played.

The set feels like it has three chapters of roughly one hour each. First, a Detroit/Berlin axis exploration with the dance floor. Second, a deeper, hypnotic, broadening of the musical spectrum of the set significantly as I felt more comfortable with the energy in the room. Third, an energetic and more progressive recapitulation of the collective experience. Part of what made the night so special was the feeling of trust and support from the dance floor in going further musically than I might have otherwise.

This year I moved to Berlin to study, to learn, and to go deeper with music. This is my own exploration of music’s connection to my life story and purpose, but it was without a doubt inspired by so many who have moved there long before me. I don’t know where this journey will take me, and I am doing my best to just be present with it in the process and contribute my energy as best I can.

Please enjoy!

Correspondant Label Special w/ Luc Mast & Jennifer Cardini @ Red Light Radio 09-10-2016

After a few days and nights of cold, rainy weather, the sky’s looking clear and we can finally enjoy the stars at night. Spirits are high. The palm trees are full of colors and the Warrior is glowing and pounding out an energetic sound... It’s time for Superpitcher to take control of the situation. A three-hour journey through time and space, with hints of Africa, and a few other corners of the globe. References from past blending with sounds of the future in ways that only he could ever put together... Deep, psychedelic, timeless…

Enjoy

*We have currently paused operations due to limited capacity*

Founded originally as a boutique electronic music blog in 2012 in India, now crossing borders in Berlin, Getting Deeper has organically grown and consistently delivered authentic music with genres such as deep house, deep tech, minimal, IDM, downtempo, trip-hop and techno.

Lush vibes, melodic intricacies and sublime mindstates are places we constantly strive to reach through the music we publish. We also like to encourage escapism, philosophical meanderings and sometimes indulging in the dark side of things. In simple words, we like to get deep.
