➔ About the Track
One of my oldest tracks, made soon after Room to Grow and City Streets, circa July 2022. Initially with a much higher tempo (190) and heavily chopped Amen Breaks.
It was slowed down and actually worked much better. The second drop is what remains of the original idea, with a much more chaotic drum pattern.
Similarly to 'isolated', I composed for the piano in this track.
The vocals are heavily pitched down, from the famous Veela pack which I've been addicted to ever since I first began producing music.
For some reason this track just gets me in a certain mood about good times I've spent making music as a beginner.

➔ About the Album
Collection of Liquid Drum & Bass works from 2021~2024.
This album is a testament to almost 4 years of producing, while still not finding what I truly enjoy making. Perhaps, one could say I'm lost. But at the same time, I've been lost forever yet I've never felt like it was truly a problem. So Let's hope the next few years are equally filled with both ups and downs - I think this is what makes my life so interesting.
Liquid DnB has been a great genre to produce over the years, with inspiration by Makoto, LSB, Harry Shotta, and many more. While being a genre I sometimes consider as 'lazy' or 'uninspired', I still think it's one of the widest subgenres of drum & bass, considering the range of instruments---both synthetic and acoustic---which can be used.

The cover artwork and video visuals are a love letter to my magnificent country and region - the French Alps, and showcase something I really enjoy: taking deep breaths outside through driving, hiking or cycling. The photo was taken in 2023 during a bivouac and is the westside of Taillefer from the Plateau des Lacs, and various videos were taken from 2021 to today on various trips and hikes, by car, foot or bicycle.
