This mix started with chicken thighs and spinach and potatoes, with clove-scented rice and black lentils cooked with bay leaves. It started with a DJ’s grumbling stomach, with a lingering hunger for a meal just done cooking and for a home in India left behind for Germany a long time back. Beginning with the Indian National Anthem, ending in Bollywood, with stops along the way in Detroit deep house and the ambient tunes he produces at home in Köln, this mix is all melancholy and nostalgia. This is what Pawas listens to at home or on the road. This is the sound of years moving around and never coming back to quite the same place again. It’s motion and memory and the temporal phase of places and experiences that move at different speeds and according to different rhythms, fading one into the other.

This is an hour of escape, a gentle slip into chilled ambient sound. Vocal electronic tracks sidle up to acoustic gems, undergirded by acid flashes of bass, sudden as memories. Pawas’ mix puts the drama and suspense of travel into the lulling chill of a day spent at home. Listen to it anywhere. Listen to it everywhere. Sate your hungry and get moving…
