Gabriel Le Mar is a music producer releasing electronic music with a special focus on deep sounds with a Dub mindset.

Dub is clearly a major source of inspiration that unites all his releases and finds expression in the form of hybrid dub-infected electronic dance and listening music.

Gabriel has been into Dub Electronica for decades with his project Saafi Brothers and many inspiring albums have reached like-minded listeners. Intense moments of collaboration can be found on the Saafi Brothers albums, creating atmospheres in their very own way.

Always in a search for fresh musical experiences, Gabriel Le Mar likes to integrate himself in different artistic constellations with PsyTechProject or Dublocation as well as with the artistic collaboration with Dr. Motte.

With Aural Float, Gabriel Le Mar composed atmospheric electronic sounds and also worked with the project on audiovisual concepts. The electronic SpaceNight series can be traced back to Aural Float: a TV format broadcast nightly on BR that captivated an entire generation of clubbers in front of their TV sets with space footage and ambient music.

Saafi Brothers walk a deep line between trippy vibes and blissed out beats. The origins of Saafi Brothers are long and storied, their brand of smoky, world-weary ambientdub first arising from the Blue Room label. They are formed in the spirit of chillout & dub, and they have a mystical connection when placing with their audience into higher spheres.

Soul wrenching deep ambient tunes are layered gently into tranced and bassy beats. Saafi Brothers' debut 'Mystic Cigarettes' came out in 1997 on the british label Blue Room Released. With the today classic psydub album, the project consisting of Frankfurt/Germany based producers Gabriel Le Mar, Groovetitan and Michael Kohlbecker, immediately placed itself among the artists of the electronic ambient scene. 
 
The Saafis delivered their second longplayer on BlueRoom, 'Midnight’s Children'. The album represented a perfect demonstration of the Saafi-style made up of the will to experiment and get deep into low-down dub and beats, that get the tunes rocking.

Their third album 'Liquid Beach' followed that way even with more danceable elements and boasting a soundtrack of trance, dub, downtempo, dance and sun-kissed psychedelics.

They were part of the cultstatus titled german TV-show SpaceNight and are asked for remixes for other artists, among them are reggae legend Bob Marley, leading german hip hop group Die Fantastischen Vier or british new wave poetress Anne Clark. 

With their album 'Supernatural' the brothers made a strong musical relationship and combines electronic sounds from ambient to dub with lucid soundscapes and blissful themes.

Originally released digitally on Iboga Records/DK in 2014, 'Live on the Roadblog' is the 5th full-length by Saafi Brothers. Sleepless-faced on music Saafi Brothers digged deep into a series of "live recording sessions", rediscovering the emotional depth of "real-time created music" after a couple of live shows that fueled the idea of creating an entirely live recorded album. The CD includes a gorgeous 8-page "travelogue"-style booklet designed by Simon Ghahary, released on Carpe Sonum Novum/UK.


'The Quality of Being One' goes deep into soul turning ambient-dub and adds drum thrills that get the tunes rocking. The secret of their "danceable speed" in ambient tracks is a higher density of their unique ambient-electro sounds and rhythms to experience feelings through their deeply emotive music. Starting with deep intros and then merging atmospheric filterworks into dubbish beats for the floor that can be specially experienced in their live performances.

Saafi Brothers are delighted to present the remix album of Mystic Cigarettes on Youth's Liquid Sound Design label.
With remixes by Youth, Gabriel Le Mar, Ajja, Bluetech, Braincell, DM-Theory, Eternal Basement, Jam El Mar, The Irresistible Force, The Delta, Kalumet, Koan, Jammin Unit, Living Light, Cosmic Orient, Backstage Gurus, JOEY, Latin Soldier, Thunder & Lightning and PsyTechProject. 


Make Pictures With The Sound (CD)
Out on Liquid Sound Design/UK

The release title is inspired by a quote from legendary British music producer John Leckie, whose voice guides us into the album on opening track Beautiful Satellite. With Make Pictures With The Sound Saafi Brothers do just that; make pictures with the sound, taking us on a breathtaking journey through their universe of sound, spiralling out from their deep roots in the Psychedelic Dub genre.

Keeping alive Saafi Brothers reputation for chilled out eclecticism, the musical and emotional range for which they are renowned is very much in evidence here. From the rainforest tinged Dub Funk of Ritualized Space, through the epic deep Techno Sci-Fi soundscape of In Far Away Places to the wigged out Acid House of The Possibility of Change the album has much to offer for any connaisseur of contemporary Electronica.


A Reaxed Blur' (CD and Vinyl)
Out on Liquid Sound Design/UK

In these shaky times A Relaxed Blur invites you to take deep breath in and switch to positive vibes. Dive into a world of soundscapes, where deep space reverbs and expansive echoes float freely. Drawing from a blend of Dub, Psychill, and psychedelic electronic textures, the album guides you through atmospheric journeys. Each track drifts between the tranquil and the transcendental, blurring the line between relaxation and introspection. 

LIVE
