Take on Me

Taken from  the album: ES - Planet Beyond - Selected Cuts Volume 1 (Ruiger Records | RGR-001)


Planet Beyond – Selected Cuts Volume 1 marks the first release on Ruiger Records, presenting the distinctive world of ES — a Dutch producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist whose work flows effortlessly between live performance and studio creation.

Selected from an ever-growing archive built over the years, the music emerges from a deep vault of unreleased recordings spanning a wide range of moods and ideas. This collection offers a deeper look into a vivid creative universe of sound and feeling — a story that unfolds through rhythm, tone, and emotion. Each track adds a new shade to the journey, like a jigsaw falling into place, revealing new dimensions with every turn.

The music moves through eras and atmospheres — carrying echoes of ’90s electronic music and shaped by the spirit of ’70s jazz & funk. It’s expressive, natural, and percussive, full of motion and detail, where live playing, studio craft, and imagination merge into one seamless flow. The sound drifts from deep, funky electronic grooves to spacious, cinematic, and cosmic landscapes — music that invites you deeper with every listen. It sounds both new and familiar — as if rediscovering something ageless, still unfolding.

Planet Beyond - Selected Cuts Volume 1

Lyrics & Music: Filippos Lamprakis

Forever One


I’ve chased your fire through the midnight streets,
A burning spark that sweeps me off my feet.
Are you my lover or the night’s embrace?
A whispered promise with your face.  


Take me where the rivers run,
Where earth and sky become one.
Hold me in your arms, let me feel alive,
In your warm glow, I’ll survive.
We’re a melody the old world plays,
Bound by love through restless days. 

My heart beats to a rhythm so slow,
A dusty road where the wild winds blow.
I’m falling deep in your earthly gaze,
A soul on fire in a mortal haze.  

Real flesh, real form, just a boundless stream,
A primal force, a living dream.
You are my lover, and the love we share,
A heartbeat rising through the air.  

Take me where the rivers run,
Where every heart can become one.
Heal me in your arms, let me feel the truth,
In this endless love, I’m renewed.
We’ll burn as one… forever one.
