The Saafi Brothers are a downtempo music project from Germany, consisting of Gabriel Le Mar and Michael Kohlbecker. They also produce psychedelic trance, dub and ambient music. The band has seen some success in the chill out spaces at large festivals. The name Saafi is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning "travelling musician". Collection includes: 'Mystic Cigarettes' (1997); 'Midnight's Children' (2000); 'Liquid Beach' (2003); 'Supernatural' (2007).

Saafi Brothers debut "Mystic Cigarettes" came out in 1997 on the well known british label Blue Room Released,UK. With the successful and today classic album, the project consisting of Frankfurt/Germany based producers Gabriel Le Mar and Michael Kohlbecker, immediately placed itself among the artists of the electronic ambient scene. Tracks from "Mystic Cigarettes" have been released on numerous compilations, the extracted 12“ „Internal.Code.Error.930“ featured a remix by british techno/dub project Bandulu and became a club hit.

After a long tour with live and dj sets in clubs and at festivals the Saafis returned to the studio in early 2000 delivered their second longplayer on Blue Room Released/UK, "Midnight’s Children". The album represented another perfect demonstration of the Saafi-style made up of the will to experiment and a feeling for the combination of different influences between west and east. The extracted 12“ „Into Deep Pt. 1+2“ found the way into many record bags of club- and radio-djs all over Europe, the b-side track „Not Fade Away“ featured guest producer Mike Maguire from british techno project Juno Reactor. Their third Longplayer "Liquid Beach" will follow that way even with more innovative elements and deepness.

They were part of the cultstatus titled and legendary german TV-show called "SpaceNight on BR3" and are asked for remixes for other artists, among them are reggae legend Bob Marley, leading german hip hop group Die Fantastischen Vier or british new wave poetress Anne Clark.

With their forth album - "Supernatural" - the brothers made a strong musical relationship and combines electronic sounds from ambient to dub with world music influences. Their inspiration for their excursions through time, space and cultures comes from their journeys and triggers.

Just in case it couldn't be inferred from the title, Mystic Cigarettes is a drug-addled symphony of psychedelic trance. Though Saafi Brothers are actually a trio of unrelated European producers (Gabriel Le Mar, Michael Kohlbecker, and Alex Azary), they approximate the sound of Goa trance quite well, especially on "Internal Code Error" and "2046."

Alligators slide through the sewers of Manhattan. A bum falls to the sidewalk in Paris, and the flow from his bottle of wine vanishes in the spring rain under the streetlights' glimmer. Cyborg engineers with ocular implants stalk the night, their ominous purpose hidden from view..

OK, well, how would you write about this kind of music? It's a bunch of beeps and boops from synthesizers and drum machines, cunningly arranged. It's downtempo dark techno-trance. It sounds like the soundtrack from next year's PKD-inspired action movie.

Just find a copy and listen to it, OK?

Besides an intriguing and cathy name, the album is a nice production of electronic dub/trance that was, and perhaps still is a peculiar undercurrent in the electrionic music universe. All the tracks are good! They are relaxing and groovy, calling your name from some perfected scenes located only in the imagination of a voyager, those enchanted places that we dream of. Sometimes these dreams turn into reality though as by some whiff of the magic wind, and lo and behold! we are than in a state of never-ending wonder. Good album overal, which I ve been listening since it came out.

The German electronica duo the Saafi Brothers play dreamy, chiming trance music that glides effortlessly from the abstract "High Moon" to the Krautrock-influenced "Something Outside" and the drifting solar voyage of "Under the Stars." The occasional languid female vocal sample and the duo's frequent use of vintage Moog sounds give these tranquil tracks a transporting quality that's almost hypnotic.
