DESCRIPTION:
„le café abstrait" is more than the compilation series, more than the lovingly organised events, more than the radio shows. it is a philosophy of lifestyle: relaxed and culturally open-minded. it was „le café abstrait" and its mastermind, raphaël marionneau, who pioneered chill-out culture in germany, fifteen years ago. at hamburg's internationally renown mojo club „le café abstrait" reinvented nightclubbing in a new relaxing way. once a month, stylish sofa installations and light projections transformed mojo's dancefloor into a gigantic living room. there, up to 400 laid-back nightlife connoisseurs indulged in relaxation and raphaël marionneau's very special downtempo music selections. a new lifestyle was born: couch culture. its spirit still lives on today in various cultural and musical projects. raphaël marionneau took abstrait from the mojo club to new places and spaces: concert halls, lounges, cinemas, beaches, beach clubs and festivals. even hamburg's planetarium hosts a regular "abstrait" event, where raphaël and world renown guests hypnotize the audience with an intergalactic multimedia-show. the french soundpilot loves to transform places, bringing together seemingly opposed cultural scenes and disparate, musically interested people of all ages. while abstrait metamorphosed, its initial intend remained: raphaël marionneau wants to touch people with his musical choices and seeks to slow down hectic, stressful every day life. thanks to radio sessions and various recordings, abstrait also helps you to relax at home. during the past ten years raphaël marionneau has released more than 25 compilations, including the successful compilation series „le café abstrait". the copy you're holding in your hand right now is already volume 8. while the first cd brings back raphaël's all-time favorites, the second mirrors current developments in chill-out music leading the way into a relaxing future. welcome home, bienvenue au café abstrait.
