Resilient ~ BSV SESSIONS

Episode 032 & Melbourne, Australia based Adam Murray aka The PDC (@thepdc), interview below:

BSV: Who is The PDC? 
THE PDC: The People’s Dance Collective is a South African born and raised producer / DJ that calls Melbourne / Naarm home. 

BSV: What kind of journey you prefer? 
THE PDC: PDC sets are energetic journeys into forgotten gems and future classics. I inhabit a space where throwback house bombs sit comfortably with electroclash and techno. 

BSV: Tell us something about Melbourne scene. 
THE PDC: Melbourne has a thriving urban electronic music scene. Australia has the most unique electronic music scene in the world. Imagine uninhabited wilderness for miles, and the best big name international underground DJs playing in this environment. This is what we call a "doof". The camp sites are often invaded by kangaroos. If it gets too hot there's usually a river or an ocean to cool down in.

BSV: So, you are connected with the nature? 
THE PDC: I guess this contact with nature in a party setting is a large reason why I try to infuse my productions with a tribal edge (bongos, bird noises, acid etc). 

BSV: This mixtape specifications? 
THE PDC: My sets tend to straddle house and some deeper melodic tracks. This set is a bit of a mixed bag, but I really wanted to showcase my latest releases in this context.

BSV: We noticed your upcoming @beatsoundvisions release here. Are you excited and why you decided to give it a ‘’90 Mile Beach’’ name? 
THE PDC: We ran a small music festival for a few years at a remote beach in Australia called “Beach Weekender” at 90 Mile Beach. The beach is an island that’s only accessible by boat. There is no infrastructure so we had to bring everything - food, water, speakers, generators, everything. It was like a survival festival, it wasn’t easy but it made it that much more special. This track is an ode to the illegal “bush doof” as we like to call it. Jake Hughes, the organiser is months away from opening Melbourne’s newest floating nightclub - “ATET” so the spirit of beach weekender lives on. Shout outs to DJs Mcbreezy, Steezy E, Petra, Olivas, Mode B, Tomii, Dean K, Suric, Van House, Toast Crew, Procyon II, Gumm, Luke Alessi, Dopamina and PLTZ.

BSV: Are you open for collabs? 
THE PDC: Yes, after the record for the worlds longest lockdown in Melbourne, we need more European DJs down under!

Episode 033 & Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina based Dario Suerte (@dario-suerte), interview below:

BSV: Hello Dario! The concept of these guest mixes is to alternate artists from native speaking area and artists across the planet in order to spread the common “worldwide” vibe. You've been on electronic music scene for a long time. Are you aware that hardly anyone in the Balkans knows about you?
DARIO SUERTE: Hi, and thanks for having me on your show. Yes, it’s been a while since I first started releasing music, but I haven’t really given much thought to the fact that I’m basically anonymous in the Balkans concerning the whole electronic music scene. I guess I’m kind of a quiet guy, not really active on social media so it’s quite easy to go under the radar that way, but I can’t really say that it’s a good thing because you really need to be pushy to leave your mark in this line of work. Perhaps my approach to music is different because I don’t consider this work at all. It’s all about your inner-self, your emotions, state of mind, hopes and dreams, it’s part of who you are and not what you do. I did a couple of ex-yu remixes recently and posted them on youtube and got a really positive feedback. So I guess my Balkan fanbase is just starting to grow.

BSV: Please describe the feeling when you rendered your first track and when was that?
DARIO SUERTE: Like I said, it’s been quite a while since I started experimenting with music, but my first official release was back in 2008 under the alias Effective Thief. Being accepted to your first label and having your track released to the world is a unique experience, like the first time when you score a goal as a kid, or graduate from high school. It’s definitely a milestone in a musicians life.

BSV: Favorite effect? Is that filter?
DARIO SUERTE: This is a tough question. It really depends on the mood and genre of the track, but if I were to pick something out of the effects bundle I’d definitely say reverb and delay. There’s just some mystical feeling to the synth or drum you play when you add some of these two effects to them.

BSV: You were quite productive in last few months. Inspiration comes from?
DARIO SUERTE: Yes, I’ve had maybe 5 or 6 releases in the last couple of months. I mostly draw my inspiration from introspection. I enjoy daydreaming, deep conversations over wine, losing myself in music, nature, and having a positive outlook on life, so I guess I can say that I’m content with myself and my life in general. I tend to see beauty in everything and everything is inspirational to me…

BSV: How was this mix recorded?
DARIO SUERTE: During my previous years of DJ-ing I’ve experimented with various genres and styles of electronic music, but honestly I’ve always been loyal to the deeper sides of house music. So, I usually spend some of my free time to search for underground deep tech house, minimal, and deep tech tunes and do a mix session at home.

BSV: So, emotions guide you in production and mixing?
DARIO SUERTE: Yes, it’s a way of expressing my inner-self and parts of my mind and soul I can’t express with words and actions. It’s like peeking through a window and having a look at the hidden side of me.

BSV: Upcoming “Bliss” release is scheduled for @beatsoundvisions. Why BSV and where did you find us?
DARIO SUERTE: I’ve ran across your music online and had the impression that “Bliss” might work for your label just right. This is the second time I’m having my music released for a Serbian label and I’m really excited about the fact that more people in the Balkans might hear it. Fingers crossed!

BSV SESSION 033 I DARIO SUERTE

Episode 034 & Pisa, Italy based Roberto Bartolini (@roberto-bartolini), interview below:

BSV: Hi Roberto! As listeners, we can assume that you are a very experienced DJ. Is that true?
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: Hi, thanks for hosting me in the BSV series, I am very happy! I don't know if I can say I have a great experience, for sure I have a solid base. I started mixing when I was sixteen, seventeen years old with Technics sl-1200 turntables and after a short time I started working as a DJ in clubs in the middle of the Adriatic coast having been born in San Benedetto del Tronto. I followed this path until I started my university studies (quite late). Two years ago during the lockdown period due to the Covid pandemia I bought a professional console, headphones, two speakers and USB sticks. And here I am!

BSV: Your transitions are just perfect. Tell us more about M series on SoundCloud.
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: Thanks so much for your appreciation on my transitions. The "M" in my series on Soundcloud stands for Master. When I was working in discos in the 80s/early 90s, it was common - and I did too - to duplicate a master magnetic tape with a Teac double cassette recorder for those who requested it. I used to call the matrix tapes "Master", as I do now keeping the initial... I have just passed 50 sets of my series, normally I release every two weeks on Thursday nights. I use the decks, mixer, equalizer and synchro (when it works) to mix without any other effect. I must say that technology today helps for many things. Seeing the track allows me to design an hour-long set in a very short time, I can pin down in some sort of language how the mixes should be done, this allows me to have myself an experience as a listener: the vinyl record is a black object, the possible attachment points are not actually visible, you have to know where they are and you have to count the beats of the musical turn which, depending on the genre, may not be too easy to remember; and finally also to know so much about the mixes to perform that once the master tape is produced I can no longer listen to it... and then the possibility of making some mistakes is always around the corner.

BSV: Lyrics come through your tapes. You are a VOX superfan?
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: Well yes, I like the voice as an instrument, not all, but for example the penultimate track in this session is sung by Lauren L'aimant, who has a very nice voice, I am amazed how such an emotional track can be produced with just a few notes and a single voice.

BSV: It’s not hard to notice that your covers are quite interesting. Are you a graphic designer?
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: No, I am not a graphic designer. Initially I was looking for the cover images simply by association, starting from the favorite track of the set, I searched images using google by continuing to follow links in a sort of situationist drift until I found the right image for me at that moment. From a certain point onwards, in order to give a stylistic continuity to the images, I started to choose the covers from an modern art site, choosing emerging authors in general but also some established ones.

BSV: Have you ever thought about going into music production?
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: No, I do not think I have the ability. In my opinion to make music, although electronic music, you must have a minimal musical background.

BSV: In situation where you have to choose, would you rather pick progressive or deep house sound?
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: I prefer [Melodic] Deep House, especially with very low sounds and slightly disturbing low frequencies, the third to last track (@bakkalive) is an example of this type of sound.

BSV: Where can we hear your mixes in live. Are you a resident of a club?
ROBERTO BARTOLINI: No, I am not. Hopefully one day, I am only 56, it's never too late.... <3

BSV SESSION 034 I ROBERTO BARTOLINI

Arke Noe with episode 035, interview below:

BSV: Hello Vojislav! Piano dominates in intro section of the tape. Did you take some piano lessons? 
ARKE NOE: Hi Marko! Piano is the instrument which can perfectly catch and express one's true feeling. To answer your question, I started to get more deep into it and will try to bring it more present in my sets and experiment more with it.

BSV: Lots of ‘’edits’’ lately. From Michael Bibi to Paul Kalkbrenner... Tell us something about that.
ARKE NOE: True that Marko. I think that there are many many great productions out there. How I approach to a certain track and decide to edit it? Only if it fits into ''little cherry on top'' approach. Not changing the art itself, just putting an extra cheese 😛 [example: http://bitly.ws/wqII]

BSV: You moved a little further from Serbia, all the way to Netherlands. Inspired @ ADE?
ARKE NOE: My road to NL is a very funny story itself, but maybe for the next time. All in all yes, I was always inspired by Netherland music electronic scene and I knew they do it the best. Also with Germany and also other countries are not forgotten. I wanted to get closer to the scene, and beside doing 2 jobs, I will always find time for music. ADE was the best experience in my life.

BSV: We noticed your switch to twitch for live shows. Would you recommend that platform for bedroom DJs?
ARKE NOE: It's true, Youtube blocked many many of my live streams due to strict copyright issues, but twitch is really friendly towards me about that. I decided to keep doing there. Now working on a first video DJ mix at unique location.. soon 🙂

BSV: Do you consider yourself as a adrenaline junkie and if you do, is there any connection between that and your tendency to music or art. 
ARKE NOE: I definitely consider myself as adrenaline junkie. I was into the parkour and freerunning before and the real adrenaline can be felt there. I sincerely think that adrenaline is good for humans and can be fuel for amazing things. I see huge connection also with the music, for example with bpm / heartbeats. It's known that while pumped with adrenaline our heart beats faster, and we know that if we put a pitch to + music will sound more intense and have a faster rhythm.
 
BSV: Period of the day / night where your creation spirit is in the peak?
ARKE NOE: I am a night owl, as the night goes quieter my creativity becomes more louder. 

BSV: Sky & sea fusion is in the lyrics of this session. Horizons as your fetish?
ARKE NOE: Hahaha, good catch. I would say nature is my fetish. I guess we are all more live while in nature. Beauty is in it.

BSV SESSION 035 I ARKE NOE

Eduardo Drumn (@eduardodrumn) from Caxias do Sul, Brazil with episode 036. Interview below: 

BSV: Olá Eduardo! This is your 2nd mixtape here. Do you feel privileged? 
EDUARDO DRUMN: Hello, thank you for the second invitation, yes I feel privileged for this second mixtape, and to bring my music to you.

BSV: Any big changes in your artist life in this period of 20 episodes?
EDUARDO DRUMN: Recognition in some countries where the label has a lot of impact, it served the country of origin, I had a lot of listeners from there.

BSV: You are the owner of a record label @demonotthx. Do these operational tasks take up a lot of your time?
EDUARDO DRUMN: At the moment I'm managing to reconcile production, study, mixing and mastering and management of the label.

BSV: With this session you shared your upcoming track that is scheduled for March. Are you ready for the spring?
EDUARDO DRUMN: Ah yes, this track is really cool, just like me, I hope all listeners on the label enjoy it.

BSV: Material have already been tested and it seems that people love the vibe. Does it mean a lot to you when you hear something like this when it comes to your further creative work?
EDUARDO DRUMN: Yes, I love it when people message me about it, sending videos of the tracks, and I reply to everyone 🙂

BSV: Are you considering the possibility of expanding the base of artists who would publish for your label?
EDUARDO DRUMN: I'm always listening to what they send, some things I listen to a lot to see if it fits the label.

BSV: Big thanks for taking active role in our story! After “Mariposa” and BSV15 your next release is even better & that is hard to imagine.
EDUARDO DRUMN: Thanks for another vote of confidence, and we don't stop there, soon you'll see more news lol, thanks for taking my sound to Serbia!

Episode 040 & Czechia based (@petr_stancl), interview below:

BSV: Hello Petr! Thank you very much for your original music and for participating in our one-hour sessions. Nice to have you here!
PETR STANCL: Hi Marko, thank you for being here!

BSV: How did you find us and what was the breaking point to pick up our label for your demos? You just love our visual identity?
PETR STANCL: I like underground labels, I was interested in production and unknown super producers, I sent a demo and it came out :) it was that simple.

BSV: We found out that you have some alter egos when it comes to music. What’s your current one?
PETR STANCL: I currently use the alter ego Petr Stancl in production, as a DJ I play mainly house music under the nickname Luckie (@luckie_petr) since 2000.

BSV: Can you please describe to us Czech electronic music scene? Is it special?
PETR STANCL: The Czech dance scene is special because we have the largest concentration of DJs per meter2 :))) joke... We have a bunch of skilled producers and DJs, the largest festivals in Central Europe such as Let it Roll or Beats for Love in Ostrava. Brno is very techno-based, Prague more underground and house. At the moment it seems to me that techno is very much at the top, the EDM style is experiencing a fall:)) thank God:))

BSV: This mixtape is very coherent and it follows the flow from the beginning to the very end. These are your favs at this moment or you needed to dig deeper into your mp3/wav collection?
PETR STANCL: The mixtape is composed of current artists that I like, you will find tracks from our producer Roman Rai (@roman-rai), my little thing or maybe Pig and Dan (@pig-and-dan), I always try to have a story, I hope it works and you will like it!

BSV: Your time spent in the studio per week? Be honest.
PETR STANCL: In the summer it is certainly less, but an average of 10 hours a week.

BSV: Any upcoming events or projects maybe?
PETR STANCL: I have just released a 4-track EP on the Slovenian label Podvodo Records (@podvodo), otherwise I have no plans to play or have any extra plans :))

Episode 046 & Czech Republic based Lunara (@user-193864401), interview below:

BSV: Hello Lucia! Thanks for joining us! How are you today?
LUNARA: I am feeling great! Catching a bit nostalgic vibe from the change of the weather, but that is normal. An autumn is quite inspirational season for me. Thank you for invitation. 😎

BSV: We met each other in the city that doesn’t exist. Tell us something about your journey from your hometown to European San Francisco scene.
LUNARA: Ah 😄. I did not hear this joke about Brno before, but truly it is very small city in comparison with Prague, but very heart-warming. I came here ten years ago to study university and started my music journey few years ago by spinning some vinyls at home during long winter nights. ✨

BSV: How would you describe the sound of Brno?
LUNARA: Very catchy, bassy, groovy. Mostly would say there is great techno scene and a lot of very talented people doing music and DJing. I am starting to run my own project Tribute to House which will be mostly oriented to house music, to open up the space for more music genres. We also have here an amazing collective CandyCore founded by my friends Laura and Jenia which contributed also a lot to Brno music scene. 

BSV: We heard that you have some vinyl mixing knowledge. Who taught you that?
LUNARA: I started with vinyl records. I love it so much! 🙂 It made me fall in love with DJing, I enjoyed holding the records in my hand and have the possibility to jam and play around with the sounds. My boyfriend Martin Duke, also DJ, taught me how to play.

BSV: Your mixtape is so cool with some magnificent track selection. Is this kind of vibe the one that you are usually playing in front of people?
LUNARA: Thank you, I am glad you like it. Yeah it is, but of course it depends from the event and my current vibe. I think this mix is affected by the weather a lot and my inspirational mood. 

BSV: Are you considering music production? Familiar with some DAW?
LUNARA: Yeah, you never know what future will bring. I love to sing also, maybe in the future I will record some vocals and start to explore. I see Ableton almost every day, cause my boyfriend is producing music, so at least I am watching for now. 😄

BSV: Favorite track at the moment?
LUNARA: Now getting nostalgic with Pacific 202 by 808 State again.

BSV SESSION 046 I LUNARA

Episode 047 & Belgrade, Serbia based Celestia (@celestiaofc), interview below:

BSV: Hello Tara! How are you today? Any scheduled activities?
CELESTIA: Hello BSV, thank you for inviting me. Today I feel very excited and I'm looking forward to new opportunities.

BSV: We listened to your warm-up set on New Year's Eve, and we liked it that much. What is your sound range?
CELESTIA: It depends on the occasion, usually, my sound range is from 145 to 150 bpm but on NYE It was a different story because it was a warm-up set and a bit challenging for me, way below my sound range, but still dark and groovy. That's how I would describe my style.

BSV: You have a very interesting artist name. Are you inspired by the “Celeste” Bicep track?
CELESTIA: Actually, I'm inspired by a character from my little pony “Princess Celestia“. Meaning: heavenly, of the sky. A blessing from the blue above, Celestia is a feminine name rooted in Latin, meaning “heavenly.” Derived from the masculine Latin name Celaestis, signifying something “of the sky,” Celestia is a wish upon a star for the angel that baby is hoped to always and forever be.

BSV: As a professional dancer is it easier in your opinion to follow the rhythm and jack to the groove with that kind of previous experience?
CELESTIA: It helps a lot. Being a dancer in this scene can be an advantage. Based on my previous experience, I can say that it's easier for me to listen to the music, completely lose myself, and enjoy the rhythm.

BSV: How carefully do you choose tracks for your sets and is it hard to adjust to the space/people in front of you?
CELESTIA: I collect music all the time. Usually, I make a live selection of music. Depends on vibes, and people. I like to spread positivity and happiness, control the atmosphere and energy and make people enjoy themselves. That's my purpose as a DJ.

BSV: Your set is very energetic and we just wanna dance to it. Is this the vibe you prefer while playing in clubs?
CELESTIA: Of course, that's the vibe I'm looking for. 

BSV: Any upcoming gigs?
CELESTIA: I have 3 gigs upcoming in March:

14th - Private event 
15th - Private event after that Kult b2b with my wonderful colleague @czemusic, we are preparing energetic groove techno session.
22nd - Drugstore with a new event called HAOS. And many more. Thank you so much for having me.💖

BSV SESSION 047 I CELESTIA

Episode 048 & Berlin, Germany based DJ Motion (@motion_dj), interview below:

BSV: Hello Hennadii! How are you? How was your day?
DJ MOTION: Hi! I’m in such a great mood today! It’s sunny in Berlin, which is quite rare!

BSV: Tell us something about your roots. Where are you from and how did you get into electronic music?
DJ MOTION: I am originally from Ukraine and have been passionate about music since childhood. In 2007, I embarked on my journey as a DJ. My tastes have evolved several times - from the Minimal and Electro of those times to modern Afro House, Melodic House, and Downtempo. But one thing has always remained unchanged - my place behind the decks. It’s a kind of drug, albeit a legal one, but just as hard to give up.

BSV: About your mixing routine, how do you get all of these smooth transitions?  Do you practice a lot?
DJ MOTION: I think it’s like learning to ride a bike. Once you’ve learned, it’s impossible to forget. But you’re right - there’s always room to grow. You need to practice and improve. A lot depends on what kind of DJ you are. If you’re an underground DJ, you’ll never bother with scratching, word play, tone play, and all that. But in any case, you should at least have a general understanding and try different mixing techniques for self-development. I believe the main secret isn’t even in practice, but in track selection and sorting by key - this is the key to a great mix.

BSV: We notice that you are currently in a “progressive” state of mind and we want to know more about your evolving process of changing musical genres.
DJ MOTION: Thank you for an interesting question. I think that tastes change with age. At first, you try to follow general trends, discovering more and more new things around you. But only with time and experience do you come to understand what your soul truly desires. I believe this is the main reason why DJs change the genres they work with.

BSV: You are a Berlin based artist. Is it easier for you to get some gigs and to play music to the “right” people?
DJ MOTION: I don’t think the number of gigs depends on the city you’re in. Rather, it depends on how many connections you have in that city, especially in the club scene. Without them, getting behind the decks at a venue is quite a challenge. Nevertheless, despite my relatively short time here, I have already gotten to know the local club culture and had the opportunity to perform several times for the right people you’re talking about. I continue working on integrating into the local club scene. And those who work toward a goal always achieve results. That’s why I’m confident in the success of what I’ve started.

BSV: Your favorite track/artist at the moment?
DJ MOTION: Unfortunately, I can’t give you a definitive answer to this question because I don’t have one favorite track or one favorite artist. I listen to a lot of music, so it’s impossible for me to choose just one and call it the main one. I think you understand me.

BSV: Are you familiar with some DAW?
DJ MOTION: Yes, during my practice, I had the chance to work with Logic Pro and Ableton Live. I think these are some of the most popular software programs in the DJing sphere, but I feel they are more suited for sound producers, and I don’t consider myself one - at least not yet. I do plan to dive into this new and exciting world for myself, but that will be a completely different story.

050 & Balneário Camboriú, Brazil based Dalkio (@dalkiodj) -> mixtape full of originals. Interview below:

BSV: Hey buddy, how is the rhythm of your day playing so far?
DALKIO: Pretty hectic, to be honest. But it’s that good kind of hustle, you know… Between the studio, a few meetings, and a strong coffee in the afternoon. When there’s music involved, everything just flows better.

BSV: A few of our upcoming releases will carry your name as the composer - Marlon Dalavechia. Feels exciting, doesn’t it?       
DALKIO: Definitely! It’s really rewarding to see my name on something I truly believe in and built with care. I’ve always had a personal connection with every sound I create, so seeing it out there is a unique feeling.

BSV: Tell us more about your connection with Eduardo Drumn. Are you often together in the studio?
DALKIO: Yes! Edu is like a brother. We connect really well both musically and personally. We have a similar vibe in the studio and a lot of mutual respect for each other’s creative space, so good things always happen when we work together.

BSV: Is there some kind of introspection when it comes to your production? We are just curious… 😉
DALKIO: Absolutely. Producing is almost like a therapy for me. A lot of times I start a track just trying to express something I can’t even explain. And during the process, I end up understanding more about myself.

BSV: Do you have idols or a referent sound that you always wanted to merge into your wavs?    
DALKIO: So many! I listen to all kinds of music, but I’ve always had a thing for artists like Four Tet, Bonobo, and more recently, Âme. I really love that mix of organic textures with electronic beats. I try to bring a bit of that into my own sound.

BSV: If you can describe one of your days without music in it, what kind of day would that be?
DALKIO: Kind of gray, to be honest. I think music is in everything I do, even when I don’t notice it. A day without music would be too quiet, maybe too introspective. I’d probably end up putting on a soundtrack at some point, even if just in my headphones.

BSV: What’s the story behind your artist name?
DALKIO: It’s a play on my last name, Dalavechia, mixed with a kind of futuristic vibe I’ve always liked. I wanted something that sounds electronic but still has a unique identity. Dalkio came naturally after a few weird attempts.

Resilient is a DJ, producer, and the visionary force behind @beatsoundvisions, a label devoted to championing true artistry in a world oversaturated with noise. His journey is not one of overnight hype, but of slow-burning evolution, crafted through countless mixing hours and deep connections with worldwide fellow artists. Spiritually adopted by the world, Marko Radovanovic aka Resilient didn’t choose a flashy stage name. The name found him. Because that’s what he is. A survivor, protector of the real ones. A deep soul who translates life’s highs and lows into sound frequencies. Before all of that, there was just a kid with an accordion trying to catch the melody of a "Lonely" song by the German rapper “Nana”. Nothing else, just a feeling. With over a hundred releases to his name, Resilient is not just an artist, he’s a storyteller through the rhythm. He has released on and collaborated with different labels: Deeplomatic Recordings (London); Deep Clicks (Spain); Electric Eden Records; Berlin-based Instead Recordings; Deep House Craft (South Africa); Hamburg-based Neele Records; Munich-based Karmaloft Music, Affect Recordings & Affekt Reaktion; Warrior City Records (Brazil); Soviett Records (Russia); SMR Underground (Italy) and many more. You don’t just listen to his tracks, you live in them. Bold synths, incredibly characterful vocals, groovy bass lines… It’s the kind of music that makes you close your eyes in the middle of a crowd and remember something you didn’t know you’d forgotten. His live sets are emotional marathons. When he plays, he plays long. Not just sets, but journeys. Settle in, let go, and you’ll understand. This is not music for the masses. He doesn’t play for algorithms, he plays for souls. The kind of selector who knows exactly when to hold back and exactly when to let go. A pivotal journey to Ibiza, and one soul-stirring gaze at Es Vedrà, set his compass toward a sound driven by connection, transformation, and truth. Resilient’s sound lives in the deeper layers of electronic music. Rich in texture and always evolving. His productions defy formula, embracing non-standard arrangements and mystical atmospheres that draw the listener inward. There are new releases on the horizon. Special mixtapes for your summer. And the next chapter of his sonic journey is already being written, in silence. But wherever you find him, behind the decks, in your playlists, or somewhere deep in your heart space, you’ll know. You’ll feel it. Resilient is in the house!
