On this day, nine years ago, my Dad passed away. He had been living with a brain tumour for eight years and also had two heart attacks while being sick with cancer. I was only 16 years old by then and I didn't get the chance to tell him my achievements in life. I would love to tell him that my music goes very well and that thousands of people are listening worldwide. He was my biggest supporter in life and ever since he passed away I always wanted to make a tribute song for him. To cheer all the good memories but also for me to express myself through musical feelings. 
When I made this track, all the memories from my childhood played over and over again in my head and it has been an emotional roller coaster everytime I've been sitting down with this project. Now, it's finally finished and I hope this track can revive memories of a passed loved one for you as well. Or maybe just a beautiful memory that you will remember for the rest of your life.
This track will be downloadable through Bandcamp and all the royalties will go straight to the Swedish cancer society. 
I love you forever Dad. 
Take care of your loved ones. 
Johan

Recorded debut set in Colombo, Sri Lanka at Sugar Beach.

EMPHI - Live at Euphoric Groove - Colombo, Sri Lanka - 31.05.2025

Happy to share my warmup set from ADE, from 10pm-11.30pm - before Mike Rish, Alex O'Rion & Tonaco.
In this set I tried to create a deep vibe that would welcome the ones who just started their night, but also for those who already had been dancing for hours at other events. ADE is very special in that way, you can listen to peaktime music before 10pm, switch venue and start over again. 
I hope you'll enjoy this!
