About the album: 

With "Closer", PNFA — the long-running electronic music project of German producer and composer Wolfram Gruss — presents a deeply emotional, sonically rich dance album that manages to balance physical intensity with lyrical introspection. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of techno, house, and UK garage, "Closer" reaches far beyond the dancefloor. It is a record about memory, longing, and the fragile beauty of connection.

Though every track is anchored in powerful grooves and basslines, there’s an unmistakable emotional core that permeates the album. Gruss masterfully weaves in cinematic melodies, textured atmospheres, and subtle harmonic shifts that suggest stories without words. These aren’t just tracks built for movement — they are meditations on lost love, on moments that once burned brightly and have since faded, on the kind of nostalgia that hits hardest when the night is at its peak.

From pulsating, club-ready cuts to more reflective, slow-building compositions, "Closer" flows like a carefully curated journey. Each track stands strong on its own, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that invites listeners to go inward, even as their bodies respond to the rhythm. It’s this tension — between momentum and stillness, between euphoria and melancholy — that defines the emotional terrain of the album.

Wolfram Gruss has long held a reputation for thought-provoking electronic music, and "Closer" continues this trajectory with remarkable depth and attention to detail. Every sound feels deliberate yet organic, each percussive element finely tuned, each melodic layer carefully placed. There’s an intimacy to the production that makes the album feel personal, even vulnerable, despite its club foundations.

"Closer" is not just an album to dance to — it’s one to feel deeply. It’s about closing the distance between past and present, between sound and story, between artist and listener. It asks you to move, but also to remember. It pulses with life, yet leaves space for silence. Above all, it is an invitation: to come closer, to feel more, and to lose yourself — not just in the music, but in everything it brings to the surface.

Yes, this is an edit of Love Shy - Tuff Jam Vocal

Love Shy

Sweely comes crashing through the windows of the Distant Hawaii beach house HQ with a humungous, stomping, NY-Jersey inspired EP that combines war drum level percussion with soulfully flowing vocals and lush pads galore.

All The Reasons has done the rounds for a while now and it's an absolute monster. Massive heaving kicks rumble under clattering hats and a soft, woozy pad and hawt-as-hell vocal flourishes.

Following on a similar tip, Around is a more extended affair, morphing from a brooding down-pitched moaner to a arm-throwing, hip-slinging Jersey banger straight outta NYC.

On the flip, Yes He is keeps the New York house vibes flowing on a slightly more low slung tip. One for the slow summer Sunday terrace dance. Lastly, Blue Faces takes a plunge into the deep blue, skin fizzing with the cold caress of salt-water and seaweed on freshly sun-kissed skin. One for the sunset and sea-lovers.
