Venture into the enigmatic soundscape of "Clueless," the 11th studio expression from the ever-evolving Namasthay. Distinctly diverging from the meditative serenity of his previous works, "Clueless" embodies a more explorative and emancipated spirit, steering through the vast cosmos of electronic music.

In this latest auditory canvas, Namasthay steps away from the overtly spiritual themes that characterized albums like "Zen" and "X," venturing instead into a realm where uncertainty meets creativity. "Clueless" represents a journey of self-discovery, where not knowing is part of the adventure, and the absence of direction breeds the freedom to explore.

Each track pulsates with the raw energy and innovative beats that have become Namasthay's signature, marking an evolution in his artistic journey. The album is less about paying homage and more a testament to his autonomy as an artist, showcasing a bold leap into uncharted electronic territories.

"Clueless" isn't just an album; it's a statement of artistic liberation, a celebration of the unpredictable paths that music can take us on.

"Friday" emerges as Namasthay's 13th album, a vocal odyssey woven through the diverse cultural tapestries that honor the day across the world.

Embracing the mystique surrounding Friday the 13th, Namasthay juxtaposes the superstition of misfortune with the beauty of vocal expression. Each song becomes a branch on the tree of life, depicted on the cover, symbolizing growth, connection, and the intricate web of fate that binds us.

"Friday" is a defiant stance against the unlucky, a testament to the power of voice to transcend, transform, and traverse the oft-feared date. It's a celebration of the unique, an album where each track is a beacon in the mist of the unknown.

"Namasthay: Beats of Shyness could be the biopic that traces the unconventional journey of a visionary artist whose life is as eclectic as his music. The film opens with young Namasthay carving through untouched snow, creating videos with snowboarding icon Axel Pauporté, embodying the free spirit that would define his career. From shredding slopes to shredding riffs, he co-founds a punk-rock band playing occasionally with bassist Red Bull's daredevil Cedric Dumont, though they remain enigmatically nameless.

At university, a chance encounter on a motor skateboard catches the eye of a producer, catapulting Namasthay to become the face of extreme sports in Brussels on the national stage of RTL TV. With diploma in hand, he dives into the pulsating heart of CyberTheatre and Nirvanet's underground music scene, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Howie B and Laurent Garnier, while Björk's creative aura leaves an indelible mark.

Namasthay's sonic palette deepens, drawing from his brother Alex's collection of Ninja Tune records, immersing him in the breaks and beats that would fuel his own artistic fire. His flair for performance doesn't go unnoticed; film school projects lead to appearances in A6000 and Akro's (Universal) Hip Hop Videos, casting him as an unlikely bridge between the worlds of authority and street culture in 1030 Brussels.

The narrative weaves through Namasthay's evolution as an artist, from a local sensation to a music arranger collaborating with the likes of Piccaya, kindling a friendship and musical partnership that burns bright. The influence of Boards of Canada’s mystic and emotive soundscapes acts as a backdrop to his own maturation, as he moves from the underground scenes to the forefront of spontaneous music creation, embodying the alter ego of Namasthay, his longstanding deviantArt moniker.

He now launches with these albums as Namasthay a new movement of Emo-Spontaneity past-O-present where everything is improvised, sang for the first time, and composed on the go, an ode to spontaneous musical creation where perfection is in the birth of the act.

"Namasthay: Beats of Shyness” celebrates the artist's unwavering dedication to his craft, the rich broadlight of his experiences, and his belief in music as an unscripted journey, much like his own – a melody that plays to the rhythm of life's serendipitous turns.
