A: Josef Gaard - 2929

As the approaching cold forces us to warm ourselves from the inside, we turn inward to music for help embracing this polar sensation. Josef Gaard has been a part of the Unrush team since the beginning. His penchant for both ambient music as well as dance-floor oriented styles has landed him at some of the best venues across Berlin and Europe. His recent record, "2929", saw him working with artists such as Kalawila and Dorisburg and was released to international acclaim. Here he has used a collection of tracks that have had profound personal meaning to him since Unrush started, and have carried him through numerous blistering winters. Listen in and feel yourself begin to thaw...

Fourth in line to our Re:Search Series brings us to @josefgaard. 

Originally based in the Seattle area and now living in Berlin, Josef has been sharing his salient sound through productions and performances for years. His penchant for both ambient music and dance-floor oriented styles has landed him at some of the best venues across Europe. His recent record, "2929" on Mountain Explosion Device saw him working with artists such as @Kalawila and @Dorisburg and gained international acclaim.

As usual, we asked Josef to share a few words to describe his approach to our invitation:

"My approach to this mix was very simple. I generally tend to want to build into a more peak time mood at some point while mixing, so my goal here was to practice restraint and working with a longer arc instead. I enjoy mixes that achieve this so I thought it was my turn to try something suited for both active and passive listening."

Little side note: Josef decided to release this mix with the artwork curated by his friend Oscar Rohleder instead of using the usual press picture.
Enjoy this deep trip

In Bantu-speaking societies, most local religions involve beliefs in ancestral spirits and other entities. People offer prayers and sacrifices as tokens of respect for the dead, and to maintain proper relationships among the living. Mbandwa mediators act on other believers behalf by using trance or hypnosis and offering sacrifices to plead with the spiritual world in the name of the living.

Josef Gaard - Ubu Dub

In the strange times when there's nothing and no one to turn to, you can always turn to the sea. No matter how far you are, or how bleak the future seems – it always moves, slowly yet surely washing the lands, cleansing of sorrow. Close your eyes and here it is, calming the restless mind, whispering a lullaby, a lullaby you can dance to or lie down to. Piercing through isolation the sound of the sea is omnipresent. 

Dance or lie down to Black Wave podcast no. 23 by the Berlin-based Josef Gaard.

Title: “The Storms We Became”
Format: Digi
Label: Acts Of Rebellion
CAT#: ACT005
Date: Feb 12th 2021

To all the challenges we met
To all silencers who burned our palms
To all storms we walked trough
And all the storms we became
Thank you
This is our postal card

/ Face fear and remember: here is where you get to grow


The Storms We Became is the fifth act of rebellion, featuring original works of 10 artists, both familiar and new to the label. With a red thread of distorted and broken percussions and vocals, the compilation showcases a wide range of styles met in the same intention: crossing the border of normative compliance. What is dance music and counter culture anyway, if we don’t take ourselves the time to question and break the new cages we have built for ourselves?
