Hidden Treasures - Part 11

Out on all platform October 26th 2025.
Lhassa is more than just a track: it’s a sonic pilgrimage. Inspired by the timeless mysticism of the Himalayas and the sacred path toward enlightenment, this piece invites you on an introspective journey through sound.

From the first shimmering textures to the deep, evolving trance rhythms, Lhassa unfolds like a voyage through ancient mountain paths, where every beat echoes the heartbeat of a higher calling. Ethereal melodies rise like prayers carried by the wind, guiding the listener through temples of sound and landscapes of emotion.

It’s a story of ascent, a meditation on movement, spirit, and transcendence. Crafted for those who see music not just as entertainment but as an experience, Lhassa is meant to be felt as much as heard: a bridge between dancefloor energy and inner stillness, between the earthly and the divine.

Join the journey. Let the pulse of trance carry you beyond the clouds, toward clarity, toward elevation, toward your own awakening.
