There is only one project that was able to speed up fantasies of Blue Room, UK - Saafi Brothers. 

Inspired by his annual travels to India, Gabriel starts a conspiration with Frankfurt-based producers Michael Kohlbecker and Groovetitan on researching unkown spiritual flight-zones in exotic club sound environments. Saafi Brothers quickly make their way into the hearts of music lovers with their debut LP Mystic Cigarettes.


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 ambient dub first arising from the Blue Room label.


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.


"Sweet Sirenes" starts off the voyage with bopping drums over a wide soundscape that increase in pace to reach an enfolding crescendo. "On Air" gets down and dubby as does the ample and floating "2046" both with a subtile but effective sprinkling of "classical Indian Vibers". "Together in Silence“ echoes through the magic of psychedelic ambient. Saafi Brothers get deeper into "low-down dub" and add drum trills that get the tune rocking only to space out.

It was logical to see a packet of mystic cigarettes on the cover, designed by Simon Ghahary with the fantastic artwork by Brahma.

Det Svarte Får / The Black Sheep

I am exited to share my new song, or more like a 15 minutes long storytelling sound journey to transport you to the fairytale and lore dripping scenery of old summer farms in the Western Norwegian mountains. These small farm cabins are called seter, and are isolated small farm houses, often far into the mountains, with summer grassing for the cows, sheep and goats. And is where the farm women spent most of their summers taking care of the animals, making cheese, cream and butter. 
🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤🐐🖤🐑🖤

Imagine late summer, still light, but it is starting to get a bit darker closing in on midnight, and something dark is moving about half hidden in the woods surrounding the seter… 

I have always been deeply fascinated by this part of the old farming life style, and in my vivid and fantastic imagination, what magical things that must have happened at these places, with trolls, forest spirits, huldra and so many more mythical creatures roaming the mountains woods…wild mushrooms growing in the grass… those mild and light summer nights…just women there alone for long periods… I mean… it must have been wild! 🐾🌸🦉🍀🧌  🍄🌚🔥🧚‍♂️

So I made this deep and slow soundscape, put on the headset, placed the microphone in front of me, closed my eyes, dived in and just listened. And very soon I got totally transported to this ancient mountain seter, and this story started to tell itself through me. The words came in my native local dialect from Western Norway, with words from old fairy tales and folksongs. I found my crone voice and let it just express. Such a healing and strong experience. 

I recommend listening to this track with good headphones and lay down and take a deep and relaxing soundjourney. 
Can also be nice listening to while walking in the woods a friend shared...

Lyrics:

Eg ser deg… der du går gjennom skogen… du e… det svarte får.
Eg ser deg…
Eg ser deg, eg vil bli med deg.
Eg ser deg der du går.
Eg ser deg, eg vil være nær deg. 
…nær deg…
Eg ser deg der du går, gjennom skogen, du er det svarte får.
Eg vet en seter, med mye mer enn bare gjeter…
Åååå eg vet en seter, der fins det så mye mer enn bare gjeter…
Eg ser deg…
Eg ser deg… der du går gjennom skogen… du e… det svarte får.
Eg ser deg, eg vil bli med deg.
Eg ser deg der du går.
Eg ser deg der du løper gjennom... 
Eg ser deg, eg vil være nær deg. 
Sånn som eg føler meg, når eg e med deg, eg føler meg vill, men eg e fortsatt ganske snill...  
Eg ser deg… der du går gjennom skogen… du e… det svarte får.



English translation:

I see you… walking through the forest… you are… the black sheep.
I see you…
I see you, I want to be with you.
I see you where you walk.
I see you, I want to be near you. 
…near you…
I see you walking, through the forest, you are the black sheep.
I know a seter, with much more than just goats…
Oh, I know a seter, there are so much more than just goats…
I see you…
I see you… where you walk through the forest… you are… the black sheep.
I see you, I want to be with you.
I see you walking…
I see you running through... 
I see you, I want to be near you… 
The way I feel, when I'm with you, I feel wild, but I'm still pretty kind... 
I see you... walking through the forest... you are… the black sheep.
