Ernest Hemingway liked his cocktails strong, fresh, and slightly bitter. So his favorite bar in Havana, Cuba, created a Daiquiri-like cocktail for him with no sugar but double the alcohol. This eye-catching red cocktail got the name Hemingway Sour and we are honoured to present Namito’s interpretation of it!

Namito, or Ali Khalaj with his real name, grew up in Iran and escaped to Berlin during the Iranian revolution and the region’s subsequent years of war. In the commune of the Osho cult he learned to DJ, and, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Namito’s exceptional skills landed himself a residency at the legendary Tresor club and he became an ever present force within Berlin’s expanding techno scene.

The Tresor residency was the kick-start of an exceptional career of the DJ and producer including other high profile residencies, various full-length albums, collaborations with the world’s best producers and releasing on imprints such as Kompakt, Systematic Recordings or Kling Klong.

Recently, the lead single of Namito’s 2018 album, “Letting Go”, a collaboration with Ruede Hagelstein, was widely regarded as one of the year’s best tracks. Stone Flower, another outstanding piece of music released in 2019 on the lovely Sol Selectas, topped the dancefloor charts for a long time and is still in heavy rotation across the globe.

Namito’s productions have a very intimate, personal character, as art is his way to process struggles. In uncertain times, not matter if as an artists or just in general, it’s helpful to hear from people like him; it reminds us that there always is room for optimism in the throes of chaos and despair.

It is an honor to feature such an outstanding artist on our channel, and we are calling for another round of Hemingway Sour!

Stay safe, healthy and take care of each other!

Love,

The bartenders
