[NEW CASSETTE TAPES ARRIVED]
there it is. my first cassette tape release. i moved to a new city to start studying in october '16 - this is a collection of beats I made throughout the past six months in my very small room, that pretty much only served me for making beats and sleeping (more or less) since I spent most of my time and money in pubs with friends. These beats represent this very turbulent, sleepless beginning of the great time i'm having right now.
The tape is free to listen on soundcloud (see link below) - however, if you feel like supporting me here, I'd be very grateful. There are two bonus tracks on the digital album on bandcamp that are on the cassette tape as well. Unfortunately, the amount of available cassette tapes is very limited at this moment - simply because I couldn't afford any more of them. However, it feels great to have them and I hope you enjoy them as well. thanks for the great support over the last two years! peace.

and apple music

"Nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations." 

whenever i'm asked how i would describe my own music, i tell that it expresses my sense for melancholy and nostalgia, joined by what's going on in my actual life. every single beat i made so far, as short as each of them might be, captures a small time frame of my life and the feelings that i associate with it. Whenever i go back to listening to stuff that I made one, two or even three years ago, i can immediately remember re-feel the way that life felt for me at that particular time. preserving memories by kind of "storing" them in beats is one of the biggest pleasures that i see in making my own music, and i'm astonished i didn't discover this kind of pleasure earlier. so - this is my latest collection of work. enjoy!
