Oh hey, you woke up!


Recently, I discovered a magnificent berry in the mountains behind Taipei. Its fruit grows on a so-called 'nasty vine' - of tremendous beauty yet unwanted. It is unloved due to its highly invasive nature. This overgrowing beauty might be the next 'vine that ate the South,' after the famous Kudzu. The production has a Pulsar23-sublayer lingering between coastlines and traffic noise, something I always wanted to revisit, made in the summer of 2021 with the legendary drum machine I'm especially fond of, thanks to my old friend H369. It also contains emotional glassware from 2018 and a shout-out to the beaches of Saint-Tropez.

Hence, I produced and titled the track "Okinawa Daydream" at the end of April 2019, and now, having finally visited that unique realm of the Pacific, I felt a strong urge to release it. I could write a little essay about it too, but I won't. Lucky you!

Originally, I wanted 'Understory' to be a cover version of Iku's "Personal Horizon," a track I deeply admire. I asked her in 2021 and got permission to do a rework, but I could never really finish it as I just produced dozens of audio tracks and conceptualized without ever really getting anywhere. Maybe it was not meant to be - maybe I'll do it another time! The shade-tolerant track you're listening to shall have a life of its own beneath the canopy.
