This EP dives into the roots of subculture: deep house and rebellion. Shaped in New York, inspired by art and Brooklyn’s underground energy. It questions how we perform ourselves in society and on social media: music as protest and peace offering at once. 
A sound for outsiders, dreamers and night owls.

[SAI098] Skydrips - Mankind

Most people are aware of their existence. They can perceive time in relative terms and possess the ability to reflect on themselves and their actions.

The Gentlemensch does not align with societal norms, as these can vary greatly across the world. A handshake, for example, might mean something entirely different in one region than in the place where you were born. Time also plays a crucial role what was acceptable yesterday might be offensive tomorrow. The Gentlemensch, however, has detached from all of that. He acts from the depths of his soul, understands his place in nature, in the universe, and within the social fabric.

Unfortunately, history has shown that humanity often forgets what it was truly meant for: togetherness.

In the meta-text, I invite you to allow your softness to surface and to recognize the potential you hold not by becoming hardened, bitter, or walking through the world sad and depressed, but by laying down the first stone and saying: “Hey everyone, look I am gentle and joyful. Who wants to join me?”

Skydrips - Gentlemensch

You can wear a thousand masks without ever dressing up. A game of expressions, gestures, and words can be nothing more than a facade, a shimmer, an illusion. A smile without joy. A tear without sorrow.
How are you? “Good!”
Nothing is as it seems - or at least, rarely is. Or is it?

Rude Boy loosely translated: misbehaving boy, troublemaker.
In this song, the character repeats these words to himself over and over, rapidly, almost as a mantra trying to believe them by force. It becomes an outward-facing shield meant to maintain its effect. This constant repetition continues until exhaustion sets in and only then can he begin to question everything.

It’s time to realize who he once was:
A boy.

Of course, this character is also a part of me. As an artist, the creative process is an ongoing act of questioning everything. An emotional rollercoaster.
Each new piece opens up new philosophical themes.
Am I still myself or have I become a reflection of the market?
Who could possibly grasp the thoughts and emotions flowing through my body when I stand on stage and perform my music?
What expectations do I project onto the music itself?

On social media, the mask fits perfectly. Always positive. Good vibes only!
That’s what I kept telling myself.
But life isn’t like that—and we can only truly appreciate and enjoy the light if we’re willing to look at, accept, and allow the dark as well.

Yin needs yang. Black needs white—and vice versa.
And that’s okay with me.
I’m happy being the grown man who still carries a child within 
embracing the full spectrum of emotion.Rather than following conventional narratives, @Skydrips embraces ambiguity and softness as acts of quiet strength. These tracks don’t shout. They listen. They ask. They shift between states of questioning and letting go, between social masks and personal truth, between the need to protect and the desire to connect.
This is music for those who feel out of step with the world yet deeply connected to something greater. It speaks to the ones who carry contradictions, who challenge fixed identities, and who believe that real transformation begins where defense mechanisms end.
Sonically subtle yet emotionally charged, the EP offers a soundscape where tension dissolves into introspection. With deep rhythms, atmospheric layers, and a voice that is more invitation than instruction, Skydrips invites the listener to pause, reflect, and gently reassemble themselves.

Skydrips - Distorted Boys

Contemporary Love is the first glimpse into @Skydrips' upcoming EP - a three-track journey that, for the first time, will feature his own voice (on other tracks). While this single remains instrumental, it sets the emotional tone: a deep, evolving piece that reflects on the question – can love itself be a form of anarchy?
Fans will recognize it as a subtle continuation of Contemporary Anarchy - capturing the process of being shaped, resisting, rising, and ultimately… offering love. With its signature blend of analog percussion, FM textures, and organic field recordings, Contemporary Love dives into that space where structure collapses into emotion.

Skydrips - That blurry line between ocean and sky.
 
Growing up on the german coast, he always remembers the dip of the horizon while looking at the ocean. Skydrips captures adventures in nature which are the base for each of his tracks. Analogue synthesizers and digital effects are built on top until his signature trance sound comes alive.

Inspired by the free techno festivals in Mecklenburg where he observed how people got lost in the music led Skydrips to create music himself. Now he also wants to curate moments in which the audience might forget about the world.

Skydrips is an eternal dreamer living between the city of Berlin and its close-by nature. He can be found in his studio for days but also out in the plain nature doing nothing for the same amount of time.

These days everything is focused on creating music and performing it live.  Combining edits of his own tracks with spontaneous moments that can only be heard once. Meanwhile uncountable pieces of gear passes Skydrips hands, so there is constant change and alteration in his music that can be heard throughout the releases. 
 
The duality of this scenario resonates in each of his lovingly crafted dance tracks. You will always find a robotic groove paired with a light hearted trance theme contrasting as much as possible with each other.
The challenges of this twist might be heard in Skydrips tracks. That is why he believes in the energy that is being transmitted with his Music.
