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.

Flow Session

Flow Sessions 080 - Bonjour Ben

Summer season 2022 was good to me and I want to say thank you to all my friends, promoters and supporters with this upload from my gig at 3000Grad Festival. I had the pleasure to be the last one on a powerful Void Soundsystem at a super hot Sunday afternoon. That are just the first two hours of my closing set from the 'Schiff Ahoi' stage, I decided to cut the last one...
Tough conditions, sweet memories.

love,
Ben

I had the personal honor of being part of the last event at “Mensch Meier”. The MM was a safer space for me, a place where I could play freely. This recording will always remind me of the special moments in this club. Many thanks to Karo, Malte and rest of the crew.

Der Traum ist aus 🤍
