Exploration Tapes: Tries to show other sides of artists and their private record collection. Taking us on a ride far off the club setting and letting us get to know the artists a little more and a little different than normally.

A personal journey through trip-hop variants; painting dark, mystic, bluesy, romantic and hopeful moods with a “little-or-no-kick” fun, also known as ambient.
Exploration Tapes is just the kind of mix series I want to be involved in, as I always love the chance to share another facet of my collection with the style and rhythm that somehow reflect my state of mind.

Blue Sun Radio Play vol. 11 by Y Bülbül

This Saturday something came over me, 
I was feeling gloomy and choked up by all the anger, hate, pain and suffering I’ve been witnessing in the recent weeks.

I felt a deep need to expess my feelings .

All beauty, joy, pain and suffering of our Sisters and Brothers can be experienced in It's expression in music.

May these Sounds provide you a glimpse into the diversity and beauty of Our beloved human race.
So many different colours, customs, Languages and religions etc . So much beauty and so much pain.
Words to express fall short…

Music tells stories and reflects back emotions we can relate to in our day to day lives.

These mix is not about beat matching and smooth transitions.
I’ts a mirror that reflects how although life can be smooth sailing sometimes.
Abrupt changes are just behind corner.

Some moments in this mix can probably feel intense or even uncomfortable,  but so is life sometimes....
Without the struggles and suffering there would be no appreciation and inevitably there the would be no growth.
we should be grateful when it teaches us!

I have faith that in the end there is light and the good will prevail.
People who we judge as doing evil are sometimes doing good in their own minds.
There is no evil out here. Only human ignorance.

My message is not to divide and polarise. 

Its a global cry for peace, love, understanding and forgiveness.

War is not the answer. Only Love can conquer hate!

Enjoy the ride :)

You get home from the club, drop the keys on the floor, you're tired, you're eyes can hardly stay open, but all your friends had the brilliant idea to make an after-hour at yours.
At least there is still a beer or two in the fridge..
