Today marks 8 years since this journey began. Honestly, I almost didn’t realise it until someone pointed it out. I’ve been so focused on the big things ahead, like episode 100, that I forgot to pause and appreciate how far Distant has already come.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the support and the stories you’ve shared about what Distant means to you. It’s incredibly moving to see how much impact a single hour of music a month can have in someone’s life. Here’s to many more to come. I hope you enjoy.

Joie de Vivre - Episode 551 coming from Riviera Maya

They say there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. Well, that and the fact that there is a new XI episode every 1st of the month at 10 in the morning. Although this month was a way bigger technical struggle than others to get the mix the way I wanted. I am really due for a holiday to reset and re-energize, and forcing creativity under these circumtances just doesn't work for me. I keep striving for some unreasonable perfection, and try to make every episode better than the last one. While wanting to improve yourself in principle is not a bad thing, I need to not lose track of what XI in essence is all about: digging for unknown songs and combining them into an eleven track showcase of everything I have enjoyed the past month, and enjoying the whole process from start to finish. I try to capture recent moods and expectations for the coming month, all the while keeping track of my progression as a DJ. And that not every mix ends up like a flawless diamond should not matter all that much. Sometimes I just need to refocus to get that straight. So here is your monthly certainty: eleven fresh tracks that hopefully deservedly will find their way into your streaming libraries. Now then, nothing left to do but to enjoy Dutch summer to the fullest; pull on a sweater, equip your raincoat and stare out of the window of the train while the drizzle trickles down. These are your 50 minutes to be the main character in your own movie. X Joey

XI - August 2025

Far away with you… dreams come true

Leave your worries far behind
Feel the peace you’ll find
Trade the city lights for waves
Our hearts are free and brave

Let me guide you through the night
To where the stars shine bright

Longing for the breeze, come with me
To a place of endless dreams
On the shores where time flows gently
Let your soul run free
Where the heavens paint their view
Let the ocean carry you

Let me guide you through the night
To where the stars shine bright

Where the heavens paint their view
Let the ocean carry you

Let me guide you
through the night
Far away with you
through the night





Let Me Guide You Through the Night

Joie de Vivre - Episode 552

Lately, I find myself at a crossroads, with some big decisions ahead. Maybe all the roads lead to the same destination, but some might be longer or more difficult than others. The thing is, I’ve never walked any of them before, so I don’t know the way. If there’s no one to point me in the right direction, how do you know which way to go? Do you just trust your gut? But what if it doesn’t seem to have an answer?

I’m not great with moments like this. I just want to make the right choice, to do the right thing. But without any guidance or experience, it can feel like taking a shot in the dark. For some, the unknown might feel exciting, but for me, it’s honestly a little overwhelming.

Still, I believe that whatever choice you make, you will find your way eventually. And if I’ve learned anything, it’s that the decision itself is often more nerve-racking than the path you end up taking. Once you start moving, the way forward will reveal itself, one step at a time. And no matter what, there will always be music to bring a sense of direction when things feel lost. Maybe this month’s episode can be a nudge in the right direction, or at least a companion, as you find your way. Hope you enjoy ❤️
