Welcome Back

Unchained

✈ We are delighted to welcome American DJ and Producer from Chicago/Minneapolis, currently based in Berlin: JON HESTER.

Hailing from the Midwest US, Jon Hester is an embodiment of the movements, sounds, and attitude that have continued to push techno and house forward. His energy and enthusiasm brought him all the way from beginnings in Chicago and Minneapolis to his present home base of Berlin.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 25 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork consisting of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Participation launched in October 2023 with a solo EP from Hester, followed by collaborations with Panorama Bar favorite Cassy, Madrid Techno figurehead Tadeo, Tokyo's legendary DJ Shufflemaster, Swedish mainstay Joel Mull, UK phenomenon The Advent, Icelandic icon Exos, American live act Lady Starlight, and Uruguayan upstart William Arist. With more projects in the works, Participation will continue to inspire, surprise, and delight listeners around the globe, with the impressive depth and breadth of Hester’s tastes and abilities on full display.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #208 -- JON HESTER

Recorded this on my cars microphone i hope you guys like this :D

Lyrics:

And now days seem to get a little bit colder

Bought you some chocolates
But now they’re in the freezer

Sometimes i take a bite out of them
Just to remember what you tasted like

I guess it wasn’t meant to be x2


I still remember the disgust in your face
It was me

I'll take the blame x2

Chocolates

prod by myself

lyric

歪んだ記憶と退屈なweekdays
抱えきれないくらいにかさばって
掴んだ糸だってちぎれそうで
今日という日にも諦めがついていく
海底 波も無く暗くて
藻掻いて書き足したmy tale
拝啓 掃き溜めの奥で
笑うしかなかったあの日の僕たちへ
足跡は増えていく
残ったモノの方が少なくて
なんで生活は続いていく？
揺らいで揮発するdaybreak

※
No phrase, I gonna flow and dive.
茜さす君と今日
もう終わったっていい
帆を張るみたいに越えていった
あの背中達すらももう波と化して
問う最適と追う刹那
分からない事をさえもう分からないで
盲目でいて傲慢だ
騙せない今のまま
ただ芽吹いて

もう少しだって
残ってない余白
後悔していたって
今になって先延ばす
それも昨日と変わらない
変わっていたい
空きのないメモリ買い足して
フラッシュバック
大丈夫言いながらフラフラ
恥に恥を重ね
忘れたいことばかりを
思い出して走り出した
自分に嘘をついたそれが楽で
ありもしないルール
貸しと借りの終わらないループ
価値も自分一人じゃ分からないから
指の先も真っ暗だった
自分の影も見られない
映す鏡持ってない
裸足で立った明日の前
さしあたって前ならえ
何をもって俺が俺であるのか
ってマジになるよ
開くノート
一文字でも書き足せたら悪くない夜

※

歪んだ記憶と退屈なweekdays
抱えきれないくらいにかさばって
掴んだ糸だってちぎれそうで
今日という日にも諦めがついていく
海底 波も無く暗くて
藻掻いて書き足したmy tale
拝啓 掃き溜めの奥で
笑うしかなかったあの日の僕たちへ
足跡は増えていく
残ったモノの方が少なくて
なんで生活は続いていく？
揺らいで揮発するdaybreak

evaporated days

“Farsighte Music" is a collective group and independent music label based locally in the 208 area - Quick to gain their dedicated following on the scene of multiple genres, the strongly talented six member roster includes Krevas, Wishi 6k, Ec-Stract, Versa, HemLo, Roduzay, and Skully Rose. 

What the group strives to bring to its audience as a whole is familiarity, alongside ground-breaking feats within each musical endeavor taken. The main tones of Farsighte derive from old and new Hip Hop, Alt Rock, Boom Bap and Funk/Soul. One can find a collection of sonically perfected vibes throughout each artist’s discography, providing technical yet thought provoking lyricism, and some of the strongest, most innovative collaborations around.

We are a community that pushes for open-mindedness, honest, creative expression, and  connection through art. As diverse as the label is, there's always going to be something for somebody to enjoy.
