ambient

A track I started during the week I spent in Copenhagen working on my EP at the Euromantic studio in Copenhagen last winter.

having the luxury of DJing full time means I end up with a lot of spare time, and I've definitely fallen victim to procrastination (see the endless scroll). 

so recently I've been trying to force some sort of busyness, and I'm really enjoying these ambient sessions at the moment. It's always a gamble, I either feel it or I don't, and when I don't that's ok, I just get up and go clean or something.

However generally when I do, it REALLY clicks, and that's how all these ambient pieces get made. Always done in a few hours, in one session, usually during periods of heightened emotions. 

Today I felt super sad. The changes in my life have really caught up with me recently. It only recently occurred to me that I never really got any time to process what was going on around me. I went into lockdown a child, was forced to become an adult in isolation, then the pandemic ended, I moved to manchester, became a touring DJ and got into a serious relationship. Maybe some people can handle this stuff fine, but as someone who's spent their whole life dealing with a pretty tough anxiety disorder it's finally caught up with me, and I'm only now processing wtf is going on, and it's a little bit scary. 

I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. But I can't help feeling a bit of nostalgia for simpler times, hence the track name. There was this really dreamy phase of my 19th year, where I'd just moved to Manchester, just met my girlfriend, had the most amazing friends around me, (I still do tbf) was so excited for what was to come, and looking back I really miss that feeling. I feel so burnt out these days. The hyper-socialisation of this scene has really taken it's toll on my head.

I'll figure it out, I usually do. In the mean time, you guys get to enjoy these ambient pieces inspired by my lack of knowing what the fuck is going on. 

Love you all <3

Pre-order: https://raumrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eudaimonia-raum002

Eudaimonia is the outcome of a spontaneous connection between two artists, united by a shared passion for deep and emotional sounds. What began as an unplanned session evolved into a deeper exploration, flowing so naturally that it felt inevitable to create something more.

Inspired by the ancient Greek concept of Eudaimonia - a profound sense of fulfillment found through living authentically and purposefully - this EP dives into the inner world of its creators. From moments of reflection to waves of intensity - each track serves as a chapter in a journey toward inner exploration, embracing both the light and shadow within.

Eudaimonia celebrates the beauty of imperfection, the power of acceptance, and the pursuit of authentic expression.
It invites listeners to lose themselves, to feel deeply, and to find meaning and healing through sound, connecting to something greater within themselves and the world around them.
