such a fine tune! shazam wont help me sadly :(

I’ve been listening to this for the past few years and I must say, I’m always amazed

My live set recording from Fusion Festival 2022

This was a mesmerising and emotional evening surrounded by friends and a simply beautiful & open minded crowd in Bachstelzen (Velvet Soup). 

This set is comprised of new & old unplayed material, and sound experiments I created in the build up to Fusion.

diary

siesta

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect sunday morning sets for quite a while already and @Mattmosphere has been a steady supplier of them for us. So we asked him and his partner Adriana to record one hour of music together, to which they like to stay in bed with.

It's an intimate ask, but they said yes and this beauty of a set is the result. 

Mattmosphere selected half the tracks and adriana aka @amapola-sounds selected the other half and sang her own beautiful lyrics ( see below), their good friend @morgen_musik recorded them and the result is something magical: 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and let the love birds fly ❤️

Here the lyrics to the set:

The Cloud Room
 Es marzo en una ciudad de Europa de 2023
Después de un invierno de temperaturas extremadamente frías, la ciudad está esperando la primavera.
Figuras etéreas.
El rastro de dos copas de vino. 
La blusa tirada en el suelo.
Olor de amor encerrado. 
Y el resto de algunas ramas de uvas. 

Ojos cerrados,  
Manos que se buscan entre ellas Cosquilleos. 
Y se vuelven a dormir. 

Y mientras tanto, 
mientras transcurre la noche,
Las velas se funden, 
Enteras
en la mesilla de noche

420s

ganja

Between the moon and dreams,
Time expands,
A new perception arises.
Looking inward,
Opening the portal to the universe of dreams and fantasies.
Every thought, every image, every feeling blossoms without haste,
Everything unfolds naturally, with its reason for being,
In its essence.
Calmness, silence, and openness…
I invite you to "Daydream".

a tale of giving

UFO Service Station

Sojourner’s Truth is the debut jazz album from trumpeter and producer Jasir, a deeply personal project dedicated to his mother, Gwendolyn Sojourner Redus. The album weaves together warm, classic jazz textures with modern rhythmic drive, creating a sound that is both timeless and forward-looking.

Each track carries the spirit of resilience, love, and truth—qualities embodied by Gwendolyn and passed on through generations. With lush horn arrangements, soulful improvisations, and a rhythm section that grooves with understated power, Sojourner’s Truth is more than music—it is a heartfelt tribute, a sonic memoir, and an exploration of legacy through sound.

This album invites listeners into an intimate space where memory, emotion, and artistry converge. Rooted in the tradition of jazz yet unafraid to push boundaries, Sojourner’s Truth celebrates the enduring bond between music, family, and truth.
