RÊVERIE

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them. -Walt Whitman

MFIS XXIX ✢ Sweet Anomaly

What if reflections were to be lost into the dimness of our solitude?
What if shadows meandered thru an overcasted but hopeful landscape?
What if solace was to be found in a mirror of forgotten memories?

Recorded December 27th 2021 on Salt Spring Island.
Snowed in but warm inside. Wishing that you find what you need
here. Manuel

The Mirror Of Forgotten Memories

Happy full Wolf moon in Cancer friends.  ❤ ❤ ❤
I’ve posted a collection of music that is very special to me to coincide with this auspicious occasion.  

It’s been such a year of grief and loss for many of us. Death has come closer to me than ever before.  I’ve been deeply affected by the passing of some dearly beloved beings and continue to attempt to come to terms with the understanding that we will all eventually have to say goodbye to one another.  

I’ve called this set Key To A Memory. it’s about grieving and remembering and the marks we make on each other. The things that remind us of what is gone.  It’s about the intricate tapestry our lives weave together. It’s about the bitterness of accepting loss. It’s about the release of letting go.  It’s about cherishing the time we’ve been given and returning to gratitude.  Embracing death and celebrating life. 

Compiled and arranged in the deep winter months on the Sunshine Coast in BC. the dark and gloom are palpable. Though i hear a hint of spring in there at times as well. like seeds buried in the snow dreaming of the sun.


I know I take myself pretty seriously sometimes. It is just a DJ mix after all haha. Yet these songs mean a lot to me and the feelings they convey help me move through these moments with all the grace I can.  I hope that you will enjoy.  LOVE ALWAYS 


Xx dee

An Ambient Odyssey

I'm pleased to share a special blend of music from a very special trip this summer.  Boreal is a very unique weekend with amazing people in an amazing place and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to play a part.

I was tasked with providing a soundtrack Saturday morning welcoming sleepy heads out of their tents to brunch by the rivers edge with gentle sonics building to daytime vibes as the sun shone strong with a big day ahead.

Please enjoy this live recorded journey in sound as I drew inspiration being immersed in the natural beauty of Ontario summer with mist rolling off of a stunning waterfall in the distance.

Niko @ BOREAL 2023 [ambient - downtempo - hiphop - dubstep]

For me, Winter is the ambient season.
Just like dormant nature, I like to wake up and bask in stillness. Spaciously, timelessly & effortlessly, as much as life allows me to. 

A blank in thoughts, a pause of action, a full exhale into the calm wonders of the silent season and then...listen.....carefully. 
Introspectively, Inwardly and Patiently.

A 3 day of intuitive process of tracks selection, live mixing and final arrangement that I am happy to share with you.

The Frozen Tears of Silence

It's been.... quite a year. FWD.DJ is thrilled to re-emerge from the stress bucket of 2020 with a live set from one of our favorite musicians: the eminently multi-talented KiloWatts. I've know Jamie for years and have been bugging him to come back on FWD. He truly is an absolute musical polymath with deft capacity in the studio and truly standout musical chops. This extremely special live set is entirely comprised of his original work but contains a range of unreleased material and special edits which will never be heard anywhere else. We are thrilled to kick things back off with this exclusive live-set from KiloWatts!
