A GUY CALLED GERALD & SZAFRAN 

A trip through electro, indie rock, dark wave sets the mood for Dark Fire; a soundscape opening a new door to view a distant but familiar picture. 

Szafran (pronounced Sha-fran) is a Polish Berlin resident who, in recent times, has made his mark upon the deeper sides of techno, house and electronic music. He's known for playing live in the twilight zones of European clubland and festivals and now for the kind of longer extended dj sets usually reserved for djs with bigger riders than their record collections. 

Poland meets Manchester in Berlin.

RTVE Radio 4 DJ Mix by Szafran

Szafran digs deep into his record collection to bring Refuge Worldwide listeners a decade-spanning Polish jazz mix. He takes listeners back to the '60s when the jazz scene was booming in his native country, and jumps forward with young artists who are performing and fuelling the scene today. Polish jazz has a long, storied history. In Stalinist Poland, jazz was banned along with modern art. Since the late 1940s, it has embraced the spirit of independence, nonconformity and cosmopolitanism in Poland.

'Did I' is first track officially released under the name Oskar Szafraniec on record label Murge Recordings . It is another sound painting of mine, full of emotions, dreams and far trips to unknown. I try to rebuild styles into something fresh, I create my vision, pure abstraction, shapes and colours, rhythms and melodies.. It got some nice respond so far. Thank you.

"A richly layered multi dimensional Deep Techno workout from a producer who is set to become a huge name in experimental House Music and beyond. Varying shades of jazz influenced keyboards shimmer around a central theme of mysteriously beautiful yet edgy ambience, balancing live percussion against a dubby and darkly blissed soundtrack worthy of inclusion in a David Lynch film. Some people around here at Murge Towers have called this new variant of deep intelligent music 'Trip House', and this is surely the best example yet of a new sound sweeping its way across cool clubs and dark studios in Berlin, LA and London."

"Oskar Szafraniec’s ‘Did I’ quite literally blew me away both in terms of originality and musicality, dark jazz basslines and keys with detuned pads leading to an interestingly disjointed and thoroughly enjoyable groove with plenty going on to engage the listener. Tough, organic percussion completes the package admirably. Music with integrity and vision." - 'theelectricunderground.net'

Oskar Szafraniec - Did I (Murge Rec)

Last friday I was invited to play at the Latitude Record Store opening in Berlin. It was an incredible pleasure to be able to play some of my favourite records which I could never play in the clubs. This set is filled with my musical inspirations and tracks that influences me since years. Violeta, Parra, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Captian Beefheart and his magic band, Bebel Gilberto, Alan Stivell, Grace Jones, Miles Davis and more. From ambient, through jazz to psychodelic moments, for the love of music.
