HMWL Podcast 2019 - Christian Voldstad

We are very excited to share with you @christianvoldstad's perception of Far Blue. Christian's mixes that have come straight from the Burning Man Playa, Sisyphos and many other places have intrigued us for years now, and we are proud to have him share his Far Blue concept with us. A real enthusiast of electronic music, blending a focus on the low end frequencies with a melodic, sometimes melancholic touch. This melancholic touch definitely comes out with this interpretation of Far Blue titled 'Lethe', recorded in NYC.

Bespoke Musik Partner and Label Director, Christian Voldstad, is back with a beautiful new mix for our radio show.

Christian acquired his love of electronic music while growing up in the UK. It wasn’t until he moved to New York, however, that he would attend his first underground party and find the sound that would capture him and inspire him to step behind the decks himself. Since then, Christian has become a staple of the underground scene, a party enthusiast, and an avid techno tourist.

After some time as a free agent, Christian’s sophisticated taste in music earned him a residency for Bespoke Musik where he has entranced audiences with thoughtful, layered DJ sets. His music blends a focus on the low-end frequencies with a melodic, sometimes melancholic touch. The end result is just as suited to a nightclub dancefloor as a desert sunset, with enough versatility for everything in between.

Some of his notable bookings include Gazgolder and Leveldva in Moscow, Café D’ Anvers in Antwerp, Sisyphos in Berlin, Output and Cityfox in Brooklyn, Do Not Sit on the Furniture and The Electric Pickle in Miami, and Robot Heart and the 747 at Burning Man.

Bespoke Musik follows up their acclaimed VA: Volume One with Powelstad, an EP that is equal parts groove and storytelling, courtesy of longtime collaborators (and borderline telepathic duo) Powel and Christian Voldstad. 

The story began in 2015 at Brooklyn’s Lot 45, where Powel dazzled on the decks and a young Christian Voldstad warmed up the crowd, proving that even scrappy openers can steal hearts. Nearly a decade of countless B2B sets, Burning Man, Berlin, and beyond, the two have fine-tuned their chemistry and along the way, listeners coined the name “Powelstad”.  

Powelstad EP is the result of more than a year of collaborative sessions in Powel’s Berlin studio. It’s a concise expression of both artists' shared musical tastes, incorporating hardware synthesizers and recorded organic instruments. Rounding things out is a stunning remix by Samihe of Minds Alike Records—because perfection always needs a cherry on top.  

Bespoke Musik is proud to finally release the shared production output from some of our favorite family members. Powelstad is not just quality house music; it’s a vibe, a journey, and a gentle reminder to stretch before you hit the dancefloor. Out Jan 31st, 2025 on Bespoke Musik—don’t sleep on it.

Dreamcast - Christian Voldstad

Those who have followed my social posts posts for the last two years might have witnessed how I discovered a new “format“ of dance events called Ecstatic Dance. Some call it Conscious Dance or give it other names, but it all means more or less the same. As far as I learned about the history these dance ceremonies evolved in the mid 90s, at least partly based on an invention that had been made by an American woman called Gabriele Roth, already in the 70s.
20 years later, again, activists from the US west coast began to organize events, still with a clear reference to Roth’s spiritual superstructure and setting, but with a more free flow and open approach to the musical journey - Ecstatic dance was born. Over the years, a universal set of rules has emerged and Ecstatic Dance has become a worldwide movement bringing together all those who want to rediscover dance as a transformational and healing power, beyond the nocturnal world of experience inextricably linked with the consumption of legal and illegal drugs.
Looking back, it seems as if Ecstatic Dance found me, not the other way around. Four years ago I was already told by some shamans and other highly spiritual beings in the Sacred Valley of Peru, that my soul was searching for a new expression that would combine my passion for music and dance with my growing loving devotion to the transcendental and healing practices and arts. When I was told this, I had already started to attend the first little ceremonies, dancing my ass off there in the mountains, not realizing that I had already found what these people were talking about. It needed 2 more years, until I had an epiphany at an event of Ecstatic Dance Berlin, which made it clear that playing for Ecstatic dances was exactly what these people had predicted for me. Since then everything went quite fast with this new passion of mine. Meanwhile I must have played for almost 30 ceremonies and I also feel a strong calling to produce music that can be played in that context.
For over a year now, I have been waiting that a new name/alias would come to me. I had the feeling that it couldn’t be the DJ T. persona who is playing for these ceremonies, because this type of DJing comes from a different place inside of me, has a different functionality and contains a lot of music that I would never play in a club. Because I was waiting for this name I didn’t dare to make recordings of my sets public so far, they are all only circulating amongst friends from the worldwide Ecstatic Dance scene. So I decided, at least for the moment, to move on and accept to continue playing for Ecstatic Dances under my old name and to finally share all the sets with the world. I trust, that if its meant to be, that there will emerge a new name, and if not, then it will be ok too. I can't put in words how happy it makes me to look to a future where i will continue playing music in both worlds.
Enjoy this set that was recorded at Garbicz Festival! Thanks to the crew behind the festival & KaterBlau to put your trust in me and give me the opportunity to create the musical journey for the two ceremonies at this beautiful spot in the woods this year. The pictures in the album were taken at one of the two ceremonies, that has been my biggest so far, with around 200 people taking part.

Christian Voldstad @ Desert Hut Podcast Series [ Chapter IV ]

Hey loves,

During the very last evening of The Monastery Festival in 2019 we got the lovely opportunity to see the rising super start Joep Mencke tear The Odd Ones Out stage apart with his melodic and explosive music. 

This lovely incredible musician took the crowd's energy from it's peak to a new level of excitement we never imagined existed. There were laughs, smiles, hugs, and even tears of joy.

Wow, what a set Joep! We are very grateful to be surrounded by human beings like you with such a talent and love.

Enough words from us. Time to press play and let the music speak for itself.

With love,
The Gardens of Babylon

DISTRIKT has been the home of my favorite day party at Burning Man since way back. You can feel the energy coming from their banging parties every time you pass by on the street. It’s infectious, and it makes you want to jump off your bike and join the fun. I wanted to let that energy inform my set. I wanted to join the fun, to feel the crowd and let the vibe inform where I would go musically.  I hope you enjoy it.

Raphael Mader @raphael-mader
Lost On You / Steyoyoke / Deer Dear / 3000Grad / Frequenza
Munich, Germany

Raphael Mader is born in Munich, Germany in the mid 80s.
Already as a teenager he started making music in his child's room, developing skills at producing, sound engineering and mastering of his own projects. From the very beginning his work was defined by mystic, dark and atmospheric patterns paired with a melancholic touch. He uses etheral sounds and complex rhythms alongside powerful basslines to bring the inner agitation to the dancefloor.
He is definitely one of the rising artists in the electronic music scene- Labels such as Lost On you, Steyoyoke, 3000Grad, Dear Deer and Frequenza signed his latest EPs recently. He also gained a lot of support by several leading national and international artists playing his tracks in their sets- his ambition and his musically perception of modern Techno will certainly keep him on the right track.

Thomas Stieler - Move & Connect Podcast (VINYL ONLY)

art:cast special by Julian Stetter

He's a consecutive contributor to labels such as Kompakt or Permanent Vacation and will, of course be featured on the upcoming Correspondant compilation, Jennifer Cardini's label on which he's released his single track 'Church' and his 'Another EP' already. Over the past years Cologne based producer Julian Stetter has become synonymous with quality releases. His music, a mixture of synth-driven, forwardly moving and darkly touched soundscapes, fills the long vacant gap between disco- and tech-ish music. For his art:cast though the DJ and producer took a short break from his current productions to compile a mix whose musical range covers various and foremost the aforementioned genres elegantly as it creates balanced wav(e) forms and smooth changes that tie the listener over the entire length of it.
