Intimate Silence avec Gutter et Rosa Anschütz - 15 Avril 2021

It's been a while since I put something like this up, but I think that makes it more refreshing. 

This is a live jam I came up with today. Something I am always trying to do with my music is contemplate some of my own feelings through the sound. I think in this genre of techno, trance, EDM, whatever you want to call it, it is so easy to slip into the pattern of only making tracks that exist purely in a functional, dance floor orientated sense, something I'm quite guilty of. I don't think there's anything wrong with this but I also think that electronic music can be such an amazing medium for more than this, for real expression of personal emotions through the sound. 

With this track I tried to soundtrack my own emotions currently. I'm not doing so great at the moment (is anyone?). The changing of the seasons, darker days, and my own struggle with mental health and physical illness has culminated into one big lump of general sadness. This is absolutely not helped by the evil force of social media and the endless scroll. I feel like my career is in the hands of the algorithm, this omnipotent presence that I'm devoting hours of each day to pleasing. I miss my friends, people I don't see so much lately, because all I can do is scroll. 

However, I'm hopeful that things will change, because they always do, and I hope this piece of music reflects this. Today was good because I spent the afternoon making this track instead of scrolling on Tik-Tok for hours. This is a good start, and I think there will be more and more days like this. 

Feel free to download, this is my gift to anyone else wrestling the endless scroll at the moment. I know it may seem insignificant but it's something :)

Lots of love, 
Joe

X CLUB. @ The Lot Radio 05-21-2023

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

Joe

While being labelled one of the spearheads of rave revival over the past few years, Dublin native Tommy Holohan has done much more than attach himself to a trend throughout his rise to the tip of every techno fan's tongue. Having leapfrogged his way to the top of the Irish pecking order through releases on his own Rave Selekts label alongside an appearance on Dax J's Monnom Black, plus Skull Crushing Techniques Volumes 1 and 2 on the Berlin-based imprint HAVEN, his popularity has swung further inland as he rises the European ranks, thanks to his unrelenting techno style that infuses the intensity of UK sounds with the driving techno we've come to expect from mainland Europe.

With his productions doing the rounds online and in record shops, he himself leaves nothing on the table when it comes to his selection, having gotten the nod from Boiler Room last year where he delivered one of the most memorable festival sets the online platform has seen. All the while, he has uprooted dance floors in Griessmuehle, Corsica Studios, District 8, Life Festival. With nods from established techno heads such as Blawan, SPFDJ, Sunil Sharpe, DJ Stingray, Helena Hauff and more, he has carved out a respected name that is only growing on a weekly basis.
