canadian dj and producer jesse somfay has been releasing music on various labels, including traum and archipel (they will be releasing his forthcoming album next year) since 2004. the 22 year old was turned on to electronic music through online radio shows in the mid nineties. this lead him, as it has so many others, down the path to dj-ing.

after a couple of years of playing hard techno jesse began to reach back to the music his father had introduced him to as a child: jean michael jarre, tangerine dream, vangelis. this softer style is on full display in this weeks epic mix. this is part one of a five part series (the rest of which can be enjoyed here). we recommnend you turn off on the phone, make a couple of tea and sit down luxuriate in jesse’s world for two hours.
