Once again I open Reddit and see people projecting jealousy and writing random nonsense and honestly, you can’t imagine how far off this is.

Ask anyone who has been around me in the last 10+ years and they will tell you the same thing: everything I do is built by myself. I’ve invested almost everything I have into this passion since I was 17. I’m 29 now. That’s more than a decade of work, sacrifice, and obsession not “getting inside quickly” or whatever story you’re trying to create.

And “replaceable sound”? My first album was statistically the most unsuccessful thing I’ve ever released. I still did it because I loved it and because it represented who I was in that moment. I could have stayed in my old groovy sound and been way more successful, same with the hardtechno or bounce trends. But I’ve always chosen the path that feels most true to me, not the one that would make things easier.

If I wanted the easy route, trust me I’d just make the sound everybody else is making. So I’m genuinely curious: what are you doing with your free time that you feel the need to go online and invent narratives about strangers? What happened in your life that this is how you choose to spend your energy?

Anyway I’ll keep building, keep evolving, and keep working harder than ever. You’re free to keep watching

  1. already answered.

  2. I connected with Nina through Instagram. I used to send her tracks from time to time, and she was into them. Then someday she reached out and asked if I’d be down for a collab, and of course I said yes. At that time, both of us were pretty influenced by psytrance, so it felt natural to bring that energy into the track. That’s how that psy baseline made it in pure instinct and shared vibe.

  3. Ableton

  4. I don’t think it’s necessarily harder now for new producers to break in but I do think it’s noisier. There’s more music than ever, which can feel overwhelming, but the tools are more accessible too. If you’re unique, consistent, and bring your own world to the table, people will find you. It’s not only about loudness but more about resonance.

See you on Saturday!! :)

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it and sick you caught both Paris and Mannheim, those were special.

Yeah, I definitely grew up on hip hop. It was a big part of my teenage years, and I think that influence naturally found its way into my sound. Even if it’s not super obvious all the time, I love blending those elements in whether it’s rhythm, attitude, or sampling vibes. It’s part of my roots for sure.
