Connection, euphoria, culture, and the sounds that make me feel alive.

My Main Playlist
My main playlist, named around the love of euphoria. Not just happiness in the simple sense, but that shared, overflowing feeling where your first instinct is to give it to someone else. It lives somewhere between bliss, melancholy, chaos, release, and the small utopian hope that joy is supposed to be shared.
DJ sets & edits :)
Where the longer, looser experiments live. Mixing, DJing, and producing feel like capturing a feeling while it is still moving. I have yet to record a set im truly proud of, but my soundcloud has some fun experiments :))
On rotation
The artists I've been deep on lately. It shifts every few weeks, but the thread is usually the same: sounds that feel new, emotional, synthetic, warped, or strangely human. Music has always been how I reached people and cultures I would not have accessed otherwise. English, French, Slavic, German, Arabic. If it hits, it hits.
Brutalismus 3000, Autechre, Bladee, Benzii, Whitearmor, Oneohtrix Point Never, FKA Twigs, Playboi Carti, Halsey, Fakemink, Mietze Conte, Machine Girl
What I tune into
A wide net, but not random. Electronic and experimental are the center of gravity because they feel like the future arriving through the body. Hyperpop, gabber, IDM, drain gang, ambient, rap, breakbeat, trance, glitch, and the edges in between. I like when a sound is unguarded enough to make me curious.

Personal note
Music is the great connector. It made me feel less alone: sharing songs with close friends, hearing records from Marco's massive vinyl collection, finding strangers through electro-pop, playing tracks out loud, or sitting alone in a dark room and listening to To Pimp a Butterfly from beginning to end. People from different cultures and languages can catch the same vibe, the same frequency, and be on the same wave. A song captures a feeling in a bubble you can replay and morph, and DJing is taking that feeling and shaping it into whatever you'd like. It is funny because I understand music technically too: waves, transforms, frequencies, air vibrating into an ear. But the technical layer does not kill the magic. It makes the magic stranger.
The throughline is connection: catching a vibe with someone, feeling frequency and resonance, DJing as a way to mix and morph emotion, and music as therapy, joy, euphoria, and release. Euphoria is meant to be shared.
