As the days are slowly getting warmer and longer, I am extremely excited to have one of my favourite figures of the German music scene on board to deliver the proper soundtrack for that sun-drenched vibe in the form of a brand new Messy Mix. Tom Hessler, better known as Der Assistent, released one of my favourite records of 2024 with the mesmerizing “Amnesie am Amazonas”. The whole album is a fascinating tropical, relaxing new age trip and I was obviously longing for the man to extend that vibe in the form of a mixtape. And of course, Mr. Hessler understood the assignment. 

Welcome to “The Blue Hour”. Originally Deer Assistent wanted to call the mix „Blue Hour on a River“ to cover up the fact that it is “just another Balearic-sundown-mix” as he says. But then it went through a little change as he explains: “Since I realized there are a few river-themed songs in this it made total sense. The idea wasn’t exactly Avantgarde but conceptually waterproof: To go down a figurative stream of water during the blue hour while listening to 60 minutes of music that had been chosen because they sounded „blue“ to me. However when I got asked for the accompanying photos and videos for social media, which are sadly and seemingly necessary today to promote music, I realized that I only had visual material that had the mediterranean as a backdrop. No rivers whatsoever. Just holiday photos and a sweet video of a chill cat watching the Cretan sunset.”

Maybe it is now just “The Blue Hour“ mix but that doesn’t make this laidback selection by Der Assistent less tempting. This soothing 60-minutes selection includes some rare tunes that his buddy DJ norm gave me when Tom visited him and his partner DJ Linda Vista to play Brussels a while ago. And whether you got a river close to you or now - you won’t regret listening to this wonderful selection. Thanks for assisting me with this one.

This is the blue "Mixtape" album, with original and varied music I created based on the numerous styles and artists I loved and enjoyed all my life (Especially in the 90s). This is a mix between trip hop, downtempo, beautiful melodies and textures, extraordinary voices. 
I wanted that mixtape feeling with several artists, all the music you love on only one support.

The blue mixtape is the smoother of the two, the end of the day enjoyable music. From alternative UK music roots to singers with an unbelievable voice, with some ambient and melodic DnB... 

And if you can find my red mixtape, it's the one with all the energy!

This is by far the pair of albums I'm the most proud of, mostly because I could mix so many genres and it was a true challenge that considerably improved my workflow. But the most important is: I've been extremely happy to enjoy all my youth again.

And yes, the actual mixtape might become true, I still have an audio tape recorder and a walkman...

Breathe

Tomorrow’s world...today.
