Fool's Paradise (Joris Voorn Remix) [feat. Celine Cairo]

Ever realised that when the rollercoaster that is life decides to start rolling, it feels like everything happens all at once. Out of the first corner, the next immediately knocks you back in your seat. I guess that's what makes it exciting, but also extremely overwhelming. In moments like this, and yes I know it sounds cliche AF, nothing slows me down more than listening to music with my undivided attention. Closing my eyes and let the sound and emotion take me anywhere they want to. That's exactly why I started Distant over five and a half years ago. And boy, am I more grateful than ever. Hope you enjoy this episode <3

Distant Episode 67 / February 2023

It's been incredibly since the start of the year, not with obvious things like shows or releases, but with a lot of personal and musical growth. I am trying a lot of new things that will hopefully translate into a better and more developed music experience. Looking forward to experience that together. This episode, number 80 already, was made in record time. I didn't have much time, but the amount of quality tracks is seriously up there. Which made creating this episode a breeze and a lot of fun! Enjoy <3

Distant Episode 80 / March 2024

I'm super excited for what this summer is planning out to be! Lot's of amazing shows and plans to keep me busy. I basically never feel some kind of winter blues, normally I like the cosiness of winter, but for some reason this past winter it really hit. Maybe it's just the short days, the huge amounts of rain and days without sun. But! Summer is creeping in and I can't wait! For now, here is the newest Distant episode with some gems I have come across. Also including my newest single coming out next week. I hope you enjoy <3

Distant Episode 82 / May 2024

Rose

Summer touring has begon! I'm really looking forward to all the new places I will be visiting this summer. Although traveling is not my strong suit, I am ready to step out of my comfort zone and to learn to be more at peace when discovering new places in the world. This months episode for some reason has a really comforting vibe to me, which will probably come in handy on the coming trips! I hope you enjoy <3

Distant Episode 84 / July 2024

The last few weeks have been an absolute dream. Summer is hard work, but also the most beautiful time of the year. So far, I got to tour the world, playing the magical Tomorrowland and cap it all off with 10 hours of pure bliss at Thuishaven! I want to thank you all for the amazing support and making this dream come reality. Now a quick rest and then back into the studio to finish some new music and prepare for the next few shows. For now, enjoy this months episode and I hope to see you again soon <3

Distant Episode 85 / August 2024

It has been a strange couple of weeks. This months started out great! Had some time off, recharged and was super motivated to get into the studio and finally work on some music again! But, for some unexplainable reason, it all kinda got lost. I simply couldn't get into it and slowly, naturally, started questioning all my life choices. It's nothing new and I've had this many times before! It's just a part of the job and a part of life. Nothing wrong with that. A wave we have to ride out. 

This new episode kinda represents this month. Different to other episodes, this one doesn't build from beginning till the end, but has more of a "V" shaped energy curve, representing my experience of the month. I hope you enjoy <3

Distant Episode 86 / September 2024

Summer season has come to an end. I have really enjoyed this summer, filled with beautiful moments and amazing new opportunities. But now, we are slowly moving back into the long nights. For some reason, autumn always makes me feel pretty nostalgic. It's just something in the air, sunny while it's cold, the huge amounts of rain or the beautiful sunsets, that makes me feel calm and think back on the past few months. I'm looking forward to have the time to create again. To celebrate the change of seasons, I wanted to reflect that nostalgic feeling in this episode. I hope you enjoy <3

Distant Episode 87 / October 2024

The last couple of months where absolutely amazing with such incredible things I was lucky enough to do. Going from one thing to the next, however, doesn't allow a lot of time to process those beautiful moments, enjoy it or reflect on it. Quickly leaving it in the rearview mirror sometimes makes it feel like it didn't even happen at all. Last week I took some time to chill out, slow down a bit, and it was beautiful! I'm happy with all the shows that we've done, proud of the kind and close family Distant has brought together and excited for all the new things that are coming. I hope you enjoy this month's episode and that it could offer you some time to slow down <3 

Distant Episode 88 / November 2024

Even after all these years of making music, I still find it extremely hard to start with something new. It's always a bit scary, you start overthinking it and instead, you start distracting yourself with other things. Eventually doubt starts creeping in, "can I even do it anymore" and it just gets more difficult. But, once you put everything aside, no preconceived ideas or plans and get yourself to actually begin, it just starts flowing effortlessly and it's like its the most easiest thing in the world. Crazy how thinking about some stuff just makes it more complicated, but when you just start or follow your gut feeling, it all just start happening naturally. May this months episode help you to think less, and feel more. Enjoy <3

Distant Episode 89 / December 2024

I’m not really one to make New Year’s resolutions. Instead, I prefer to look back at what I’ve achieved in the past year—the things I’m proud of or the lessons I’ve learned. You never know what the future holds, but you can always learn from the past.

Every year, I feel like I say this, but this year really was the craziest one yet. I’m beyond proud of what I’ve accomplished in my music career. The community that Distant and my music have built is just incredible. You’re all so beautiful and kind—a whole new family I never knew I had.

On a personal level, though, one of the most important things this year was finding a new sense of direction. Earlier this year, I felt pretty lost—unsure of where I wanted to go or how to get there. I had to dig deep to find both a reason and an answer. Now, I feel like I have a destination, a place I want to reach, and I’m genuinely excited about the journey ahead.

In the spirit of learning from the past, this month’s episode has a special nostalgic note to kick off the new year. It’s a way to start fresh while honouring where we’ve come from. I hope you enjoy it, and I wish you all the best health and happiness in the year ahead <3

Distant Episode 90 / January 2025

They say bad news comes in threes—but this month, I got four. Maybe it’s just a matter of perception; once something bad happens, we start noticing every bit of bad luck that follows. Or maybe, sometimes, we really do just get hit with everything at once. Either way, that’s just the way it is sometimes. But hey, if all my bad luck came at once, maybe that means I’ve officially used it up for a while. Time to turn the page and start making some good things happen! There are some amazing projects coming, it’ll take work, but I’m beyond excited for what’s ahead. I hope you enjoy this month’s episode and let's move forward ❤️

Distant Episode 91 / February 2025

It’s been two months without any shows, which means I’ve spent a lot of time in the studio and it’s been absolutely amazing! Such a wonderful feeling to take my time and create new music again. I’m super excited to show you what I’ve been working on, but it’s also kinda scary. Very scary, to be honest. This is some of the most personal music I’ve ever made, music created at some of my highest and lowest moments. During that time, I’ve also been working hard on the future of Distant, which makes me even more excited for what’s ahead. So, lots to look forward to! Hope to see you at the first Distant event of the year on March 22 at Warehouse Elementenstraat, Amsterdam. Until I can share more, I hope you enjoy this episode <3

Distant Episode 92 / March 2025

The sun’s been out more lately, and honestly, it’s made such a difference. I always thought I handled the grey winter weather pretty well, but a bit of sunlight really does hit different. I’ve spent a lot of time in the studio lately, stuck in my own little world. Which, inevitably, means insecurities can start to creep in. But kicking off the year with an absolutely epic first Distant show, and being surrounded by all you lovely souls, felt like a complete reset in the best way possible. I can’t wait for the summer season to begin! This month’s episode carries some of that lighter energy. Hope it lifts your mood the way the weather, and dancing with you, has been lifting mine. Hope you enjoy 🌤️

Distant Episode 93 / April 2025

Although I’ve really enjoyed my time in the studio, now that the sun’s shining and spring is in full swing, I can’t wait to get back on tour. This month is going to be crazy, and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited. It’s funny, touring can feel overwhelming at times, but the moment it stops, you start missing it real quick. That beautiful feeling of being one with the music and the people around you and sharing the moment is just something really special. Here’s to the beginning of summer and the outdoor season. Hope you enjoy this episode ❤️

Distant Episode 94 / May 2025

It’s wild how something you love so much can also make you feel so unsure of yourself. Making music is one of the most fulfilling things in my life, but at the same time, it can bring out a lot of doubt. One moment you’re excited about an idea, and the next you’re second-guessing everything. But when it finally clicks, when it’s exactly where you want it to be, it’s the most rewarding feeling.

I’ve come to realize that those doubts are just part of the creative process. Sometimes they show up out of nowhere and mess with your head for a bit. It doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong, it just means it’s time to take a step back, take a deep breath, and appreciate how far you’ve already come.

I hope you find the space to take a step back whenever you're having doubts. And maybe this episode can be a little reminder to appreciate everything you’ve already achieved. I hope you enjoy <3

No Echoes (Mees Salomé Remix)

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.

Wes - Alane (Mees Salomé & Thysma Edit) [FREE DOWNLOAD]

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 ❤️

Distant Episode 97 / August 2025

Even though the weather here hasn’t really felt “summerly” these past few weeks, I’ve had an amazing time. I got to visit and play at some incredible places, spent a lot of productive hours in the studio making new music, and, maybe most importantly, had the chance to really be with friends and family. Tomorrow we will close this wonderful summer together at Distant Beach. I can't wait to spend this beautiful time with you.

Compared to earlier this year, I feel like I’ve truly found my groove again when it comes to making music. I can be very perfectionistic, always wanting to perform at my best. Which can sometimes knock me down and demotivate me immensely. It’s so easy to be strict with yourself, to believe you have to work every second and try to force the process. But it's way harder, and just as important, to tell yourself to stop and give yourself the time and space to do something else. Watch a movie, play some games, go out and get some food with friends. It’s not being unproductive, it’s recharging. I really believe that when you’re enjoying life, you’re able to create your best work. Running on empty is never going to help

Maybe this month’s episode can be that little moment of space and time to recharge. Hope you enjoy 

Distant Episode 98 / September 2025

I took my own advice from last month and went full nature mode for a little bit. Time away from screens and work, surrounded by mountains, trees and fresh air, just slowing down for a bit. It gave me the chance to reset, recharge and really think about what comes next. Stepping outside of the routine is never wasted time, it is what allows you to see things from a wider perspective.

Now that I’m back, I feel eager to dive into work again. At the same time, there are so many projects waiting that I don’t even know where to start. It’s quite overwhelming. I’ve always told myself: it’s not about tackling everything at once, but about taking small steps, one thing at a time, and trusting the rest will follow. Let’s see if I can take my own advice this time.

In the meantime, fall is arriving. Summer is amazing, but seasons always change, and personally, I don’t mind it. The shorter days, the colder air, the cozy atmosphere that seems to be everywhere. There’s something comforting about it, and I think that feeling made its way into this month’s episode too.

Maybe this mix can be a small reminder to take it step by step and enjoy what is, not what was. Hope you enjoy.

PS. next month is episode 100! And for that we will have a special episode. However, that does mean that the next episode will be uploaded little bit later than usual, but hopefully worth the wait 🔥

Distant Episode 99 / October 2025

Distant 100th Episode was everything I could have dreamed of, and that’s thanks to you. Seeing Het Sieraad come alive, feeling the energy and seeing your smiles reminded me of why I started all of this in the first place. I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has been dancing, listening and growing with me in this journey. 

Playing this set was a huge trip down memory lane. This whole night was dedicated to the past 100 months of Distant, with old releases and loads brilliant tracks that I used to play a lot. Thank you for allowing me to play the music that Distant is all about, all night long. Hope you enjoy <3

Distant Episode 100 / November 2025 (Anniversary edition LIVE)

Reaching episode 100 last month was pretty unreal. It had become such an integral part of my life. A vital place for me to share my love for music and connect with all of you. Thank you for being such an essential part of my life. I know there hasn't been a lot of new music this year, I was feeling pretty lost for parts of it, but I’ve made some of my best music since then. I will be forever grateful for your support and patience this year. You are everything I could wish for, and more. Can’t wait for 2026 to begin as I'm full of ideas, music and optimism. For now, here’s the first episode of a new chapter, the start of something new. Hope you enjoy ❤️

Distant Episode 101 / December 2025

Before anything else, I want to say thank you, for the support, the messages, the energy, and the moments we shared last year. None of this exists without you.

Looking back at 2025, it was a year that started out with uncertainty, writer's blocks and doubt. Searching for that peculiar balance between creativity and business. Some soul searching later, I realised that music will always be the fabric of this whole adventure, creating music that I truly love. Knowing it resonates with you makes every step that much more meaningful. This will be, without a doubt, the most important goal for the new year.
 
As this new year begins, I feel a sense of clarity and purpose. I have a desire to create and build that space where we can slow down together, be present and let the music speak without distraction. 

On that note, here's the first episode of the year, with some new music that will come your way soon. I promise. Hope you enjoy <3

Massive Attack - Teardrop (Mees Salomé's Filth on Acid Remix) [Free Download]

Following Yotto’s roof-raiser, Green continues to scorch the new year with another evocative dispatch. Please welcome young Dutch talent Mees Salome and his remarkable label debut…

‘Ya Amar’ is steeped in emotion. Its Arabic title translating to ‘my moon’ or ‘my most beautiful’, there’s serious skin-rippling movement in the sweeping strings and gradual, unhurried-yet-stately pace of the narrative. Majestic, touching and just on the right side of epic.

‘Zero’ takes nothing away from this: Stripped back and driven by a subtly bumpy, turbulent kickdrum, once again we’re eased into Mees’ dramatic narrative with pace and measure. Slowly, surely, overwhelmingly, he whisks us off to parts unknown on some perfectly tempered synths and sweeping motifs.

Dreamy-yet-dramatic with all the right mystical, techno noir touches, Joris and Edwin know a good record when they spot it. We think you’ll be hearing a lot more from Mees in the new future. Green means go…

Have you ever had a song that is just stuck in your head and it just will not come it out..? Well, that song is Sweet Disposition for me. The only thing I could do was to make an edit, so I had to listen to it a million times, hopefully driving me absolutely crazy that I couldn't listen to it anymore. Guess what. It didn't work.. Now you can download it for free, so I am not the only one.
