Our next guest is well known amongst the covens of Toronto – praised for his diversity in DJing and his musical writing. He has signatured melodic atmospheres catering to deep housey hymns, with the bursts of progressive darkness and mystery. 

Throughout the years he has garnished international support from Industry Titans as he continuously paves his way as not only a DJ or a producer but as an apprentice of sound always, with his fingers in quite a few musical pies – always available for upcomers, as can be seen with his wide range of educational services at his Production Academy.

Lonya Floating Point Episode 94 October 2021

QNA - Where's the World

Why Not, Vol. 2 is a bold, late-night record built on momentum, mood, and motion. Blending atmospheric beats with sharp, reflective lyrics, the album explores risk, confidence, and the quiet moments of doubt that sit behind big decisions. It’s a project about pushing forward without waiting for permission — asking “why not?” instead of “what if?”

The lead track, “Volvo,” sets the tone with smooth, driving production and a steady, hypnotic rhythm. It captures the feeling of moving through city lights with a clear mind and a heavy heart — safe, steady, but always moving forward. The song is about control, patience, and trusting your lane while everything else speeds by.

Together, the album feels like a night drive with no destination — just growth, reflection, and the freedom to keep going.

VOLVO IV (parallel mix)

🚀 Skyflare – the new album by John Franklin! ✨
17 electronic tracks that hit hard 🔥
A mix of old-school electro house, deep house, and Detroit house — raw, cool, and full of vibe 😎🎶

And yes… I intentionally used the same vocal samples in two tracks — because it just sounds too damn good 😍🔊

If you're into fresh vibes: listen, feel it, enjoy 💫
And if you love it → maybe grab the album 😉🙏
