Q: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MIX FOR OUTDOOR TAPES. HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE TRACK SELECTION AND WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE PERFECT SETTING FOR THIS MIX?

I wanted to focus on the idea of discovery; nothing is more magical than finding a forest clearing or hiking to the top of a hill and enjoying a wonderful view. It’s in these moments, when nature reveals its hidden beauty, that we feel the joy of exploration and a sense of connection with the world around us.

Q: IN YOUR YEARS OF DJING AND EVENTS, WHICH PLACES AND EXPERIENCES REALLY STAND OUT FOR YOU?

A few experiences really stand out. One would be Elsewhere in NYC the energy of the crowd was just electric and the sound system was incredible, it felt like a shared journey between the audience and me.

Q: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO RECENTLY THAT YOU'D LOVE TO PLUG (AND DOESN'T FEATURE IN THE MIX)?

Outdoor Tapes E10 | Complexion

Welcome to TFBS the best of 2024

As we start the new year, we find ourselves in that bittersweet space eflecting on everything we’ve gained, everything we’ve lost, and everything we’ve become. 2024 brought its share of challenges and triumphs, and through it all, music has been the constant a guide, a companion, and sometimes, a voice when words failed us.

Today, we journey back through the sounds that defined this year. These tracks are more than just melodies they are memories, emotions, and moments frozen in time. So, wherever you are, take a deep breath and let the music remind you of where we’ve been and where we’re heading.

This is the Future Beats Show: Best of 2024. Let’s begin...

Live Love Forever

Before cages, there were seasons.
Before clocks, there was the moon.

Cycles, Not Chains is a remembering.

A return to the way life actually moves—
in spirals, not straight lines.
In breath, not bondage.
In rise and rest, bleed and heal, seed and bloom.

This piece rejects the myth of endless grind and rigid control.
It speaks for bodies that know the moon,
for hearts that move in waves,
for souls that refuse to be locked into systems that deny their rhythm.

Nothing here is broken.
Nothing needs fixing.

What they called “disorder” was instinct.
What they called “weakness” was wisdom.
What they chained was sacred because it couldn’t be owned.

Cycles, Not Chains is a soft rebellion.
A low, pulsing truth.
A reminder that freedom doesn’t look like escape—
it looks like returning to your natural timing.

You are not behind.
You are not late.
You are moving exactly as life always has.

Cycles, Not Chains
