Jan Madera is a DJ, a former colleague, and a friend of mine. Even though we rarely see each other, despite the ridiculously short physical distance, we are connected by music. And the love for music. Our common ground can be found somewhere between Ambient, IDM, Electronica, Piano, Jazz, and Dubtechno. And that’s why I love his DJ mixes so much, especially those that fall within our shared musical spectrum. Under the name VariFocus, he releases his own and guest mixes on his SoundCloud and Mixcloud channels.
Shortly after writing about my friend Jan’s DJ mix series “Alternative Elevator Music”, he contacted me, and asked for a guest mix for his variFocast series, and I didn’t have to think long about it. Neither about whether I would do it (of course!) nor about what I would include (see common ground). Today is the day: Jan posted the mix early this morning, and that’s exactly where it belongs: in the early morning hours of autumn. Enjoy it!
