giving me a ryan gosling-drive-soundtrack-feeling

2021

Amsterdam-based abh & Hoff, the masterminds behind the wonderful "Far Blue" record label and podcast series, curated our latest "Delayed with..." music tale.
Imagine drifting through a moonlit forest dappled with fireflies and the low hum of cicadas. That's the vibe – lulling, dreamy, and alive with subtle magic. Lush atmospheres unfurl like velvet curtains.
Four-on-the-floor rhythms pulse like a steady heartbeat, then melt into broken beats that pirouette like autumn leaves. Familiar names like Shoal and DJ Balduin shimmer like constellations while hidden gems flicker like fireflies and dance with melodies laden with unspoken intrigue.
The mix crescendos and takes a playful detour down an acid-tinged path. Imagine Alice tumbling down a rabbit hole of sound, where playful blips and bloops dance in the stardust. It's a whimsical prelude to the perfect finale – Leafar Legov's "Fade" washes over you like a warm wave, the perfect closing note to this auditory adventure.

I’m incredibly happy to share the first mix of the "floating details" series, recorded by BLEACH. An artist from Bern known for oscillating between heavy bass music and calm, emotive sounds beyond the epicenter of the dancefloor.

While listening to her selections, I often find myself drifting into the ethereal, warm moods of her mixes—especially in her morning sets, through which everything seems to open up and float.

The first pieces of her mix for floating details emerged while preparing for a journey to a special "space in between". Integrating experiences gathered on this journey, BLEACH completed the mix and created a sonic postcard that tells tales from a place that stretches between deep, captivating moments and gentle warmth.

Almost forgot about the anniversary of one of my favorite sets.

20 years have passed since that night, yet it still feels like yesterday.

Most of the tracks in this mix came from my friend and brother, Marko Fürstenberg (aka Surphase / Dolby).

I kept this one close for years, shared it only with a few real ones.

Marko — thanks for the beautiful music, for the unreleased tracks I was lucky to have back then, and for being one of the biggest musical influences in my life.

Audiences will impose meaning as they see fit, relative to their own contexts, and the convergence of our emotional literacy can draw us to one another. In 2018, Ripperton gifted the ESP Institute with 'Sight Seeing,' and we quickly became tourists joining the artist's departure from the comforts of his known creative narratives, however, with his tender monument of devotion, 'Contrails,' we now find ourselves blissfully lost in his code. These expansive 73 minutes are punctuated midway by a poignant solitary confession — “I’m afraid of what I might find, but I’m even more afraid of not facing this fear. I love you. I love you more than my life.” — in accordance with the fundamentals of Minimalism, the vast negative space bookending these words undoubtedly amplifies their significance.

“I’m afraid of what I might find…” Communication comes easy for some artists; the tools are obvious, logical and tangible, the dialogue is palatable and their art is often inoffensive. For others, there may be conflict, trauma or fear that result in pragmatic challenges — the tools feel foreign, deep complexities give way to creative paralysis, and communication struggles to find its form and emerge — the art becomes as much a therapeutic confessional as is a formal exercise.

“…But I’m even more afraid of not facing this fear…” Within the residue of the artist’s emotional labor, full of nuance, reservation and vulnerability, is potent code that can neither be taught nor learned, an elusive unknown whose shadows some spend a lifetime chasing, trying in vain to articulate or translate, often at their own peril.

“…I love you. I love you more than my life.” It’s this code that inexplicably tethers the soul to art — music being perhaps the most magnetic attractor of all — capable of true love upon first encounter. The blood flows like rapids, the hairs on the back of the neck stand erect, the heart surrenders absolutely to a romantic chemistry and a mutual bond is forged, a love to defend with vigor. We own the music and the music owns us. We are enamored, without words, simply head-over-heels.
