As issueswithmysleep is mainly playing livesets, this in an altered instrumental version of his original track Sway. The EP 'Reasons To Breathe' assembles a number of impellent and moving tracks which gradually became more conceptual and metamorphic, allowing the arrangements to to take deep breath - spending time developing a consistent dramaturgy and forming a sense of humanness behind the machines.

Sway (Dub Mix)

Since the beginning of his studies and ongoing after his diploma at the Stuttgart Academy Of Fine Arts in 2021, Maximilian Luz was building his own little DIY-cosmos around ISSUESWITHMYSLEEP. Meanwhile mainly concentraiting on music production, he works with diverse installations, including projection, film and visual art. Often in cooperation with other local and international artists.
•
Coming from Britrock, Indie and UK Hardcore music in his earlier years, influencing his sound and style of production, which primarily can be heard in his livesets, he developed his sound over Ambient and Experimental in the direction of Minimal Techno, Organic and Afro House, setting focus on groove, danceability and a fast evolving sound. Fierce lead synths meeting afrobeats, bald baselines and catchy guitar riffs making his sound agitating yet unique.
