Long time no hear.

But here we are again, this time with a housebreaky track selection à la Bonjour Ben. We are honoured to have him as guest for our mixtape series, since he has a sure instinct for special and outstanding DJ-sets.

Enjoy this perfectly late-summer-weather fitting sound.
Summer is over they say. For a golden autumn to come.

Au revoir, @bonjourben.

[ɔstˈɛnd] Mixtape No. 31 by [Bonjour Ben]

Der Tag war vergangen, wie Tage so vergehen.
Ich hatte ihn herumgebracht, sanft umgebracht, mit meiner primitiven und schüchternen Art von Lebenskunst. Ich hatte einige Stunden gearbeitet, alte Bücher gewälzt, hatte meine Atemübungen gemacht, die Gedankenübungen aber heut aus Bequemlichkeit weggelassen, war eine Stunde spazieren gewesen und hatte schöne, zarte, kostbare Federwölkchenmuster in den Himmel gezeichnet gefunden. Das war sehr hübsch, aber – alles in allem war es nicht gerade ein entzückender, nicht eben ein strahlender, ein Glücks- und Freudentag gewesen. Sondern eben einer von diesen Tagen, wie sie für mich nun seit langer Zeit die normalen und gewohnten sein sollten: maßvoll angenehme, durchaus erträgliche Tage ohne besondere Schmerzen, ohne besondere Sorgen, ohne eigentlichen Kummer, ohne Verzweiflung. Tage an welchen mir eine Unterbrechung dieser Banalität, mehr Wert zu sein schien als alle Güter dieser Erde. 
Ich entschied mich also für das sanfte Nachgeben der Versuchung, für das Fallenlassen, Hingeben und Ausprobieren einer akustischen Reise, wie ich sie schon lange nicht mehr gewagt hatte.
Sodann kramte ich einige Kerzen und Zündhölzer aus der untersten Schublade des Vertikos hervor, zündete selbige an und bequemte mich langsam vorwärts, um mich auf dem Divan in der Mitte des Raumes niederzulassen. Als musikalische Untermalung des Augenblicks entschied ich mich nach längerer Abwägung für eine Mischkassette, welche ich bereits vor Wochen im Rausche von einem Seefahrer erworben hatte. Sie war von niemand geringeren als Bonjour Ben, der mir durch seine ruhige und gleichzeitig wache Art schon mehrfach angenehm im Gedächtnis geblieben war. Mir ein Gläschen Cognac einschenkend und mich selbst dabei aus der Vogelperspektive betrachtend, wurde gewahr, dass stets wenn ich an ihn dachte, mich das Bild einer matt pastelligen Küstenlandschaft überkam. Wild und grau, durch dessen Tristesse und Einsamkeit sich ein einzelner frischpolierter Wagen in aller Schönheit schiebt - am Steuer kein anderer als ebenjener Ben.
In meinem Kopfe saß ich sogleich auf der Rückbank des Wagens und nahm durch einen fernen aber vertrauten Schleier wahr, wie er zielsicher das Autoradio auf die richtige Frequenz und Lautstärke justierte. Schon bei den ersten Klängen versank ich gleichermaßen in Divan, Rückbank und Musik.

🎶 Slægi presents "kun slægers"  Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 288 🎶

The Norwegian DJ  Slægi enriches us today with a recording that truly deserves the name Afterhour Sounds. Immerse yourself in the world of ketaesque music. A very special journey into the darkest corners of your mind awaits you. Let yourself be hypnotised and dive into another world of calmness and peace. Great musical cinema to feel good and calm down. 

A thousand thanks to Elrik for this unique set.
If afterhour, then here. 🌜 🎶

Enclosed, of course, is our short interview:

✔️ What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

For over a decade, afterhour music has been a big influence in my dj-mixes. Mostly because it is a place where tired still happy dancers keep the groove for the love of music, but also because it leaves space, where listeners can relax and dance at the same time..a healing combination. 

i collect tunes, listen to birds, dj many places, meet people, record frequencies, tend the garden, design sounds and am still learning.

✔️What makes good "afterhour"?

"On a misty morning in the dreams from the after..harmonies, rhythms and stories steams beautifully in the field. this is where the soul closes its eyes, and starts to  stomp in the dust of sun rays..this will pierce the forest with tomorrow"

✔️Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

I have given the title "kun slægers" in honor of the inspirational artists i am mixing in this set. I thank them for the contribution and the important work they are doing.
description: "slægers" can be translated to "slagers" which means a hit in musical terms..in norway. Probably in german too..i don't know! 
Anyway, this set is a straight up "only hits" from my present afterhour-catalogue. 

hope you enjoy!

Let's go back in time for a moment to our beloved Landjuweel Festival. This time we played during golden hour at this hidden gem in the back of Ruigoord: Temple of Self. Oh joy!

Friday 08/08 at 8PM we started our set. And it was golden 🧡 Loads of old and new friends gathered in the wooden pagode. Shoes where off. We felt light hearted and danced our asses off while playing synths, singing and touching knobs.

We decided to catapult this set into the wide world (web), and hope you enjoy it as much as we do! We started off deep & dreamy and slowly moved into the dance floor bangers that had everyone moving. Loads of our new unreleased (!) tracks can be found in it. Thanks again Temple crew and everyone involved. 

PS. Love what you hear? Feel free to like, share, comment and send it to your local booker/promoter/club.. We'd love to warm your favorite dancefloor any time soon 💫

Mycologist Presents: The Lab w/ Flawd by kayḆe - 30.10.25

Jasper lets his sets unfold patiently, built on subtle tension and careful progression. Focusing on mood and continuity he creates immersive journeys that travel through the beautiful realm of house and techno music. 
His sound is subtle and stripped back, yet deeply hypnotic. Minimal structures are woven with dub-inflected textures and gentle acid nuances appear sparingly, adding tension and edge without breaking the flow. The result is a restrained but absorbing sound that unfolds slowly and invites deep, focused listening.

His musical path began in rap, where he spent a decade writing lyrics and producing beats. After gradually losing his creative drive, he stepped away from music altogether. The turning point came unexpectedly through his flatmate’s synthesizer, opening his ears to the beauty of electronic sound design. Since then, he has been shaping his own voice within electronic music, continuously refining his sound and deepening his artistic direction.
