After 15 years of quiet rest on a hard drive, “Sunrise” finally sees the light of day.
Now fully remastered and officially released, “Sunrise” brings a slice of sonic nostalgia with a timeless atmosphere – perfect for slow mornings, soft evenings, or moments in between.
Crafted with the legendary PPG Wave 2 synthesizer and recorded more than a decade ago, this track was always meant to be more than just sound – it’s a feeling. A gentle transition. A musical space where you can slowly wake up or simply sink deeper into your cosy bed after a long day.
Think: chilled, ambient textures. Hints of analog warmth. Almost meditative.
The poem in Difficult for me is a quietly powerful meditation on emotional paralysis, distance, and the silent weight of unspoken connection. Rooted in everyday experiences and internal conflict, its strength lies in the delicate, almost hesitant way it unfolds — mirroring the uncertainty and vulnerability of the narrator’s inner world.
The opening stanza sets the tone with intimate introspection: “I imagine / what it would be / like if we / were talking / to each other.” These simple, fragmented lines carry deep emotional charge, conveying a yearning for connection that remains stifled by fear or hesitation. The rhythm of the language, like thoughts forming and dissolving midstream, echoes the song’s likely ambient or minimalistic electronic textures, enhancing the emotional pull without needing to overstate.
A key theme is the tension between clarity and confusion. The narrator admits, “Everything is / actually clear. / What is holding me,” — a moment that feels both painfully honest and universally relatable. The question lingers unresolved, like the emotional stasis it describes.
The imagery of movement — “paths,” “direction,” “drive by sight” — subtly contrasts with a sense of inertia. The speaker is in motion, but not progressing. It’s a beautiful metaphor for emotional stuckness: going through the motions of life without feeling aligned or seen.
Perhaps the most striking moment comes in the closing lines: “The safer the distance seems, the more I feel safe and lonely at the same time.” Here, the paradox of emotional self-protection is distilled with clarity and grace. The desire to stay “unnoticed” and keep thoughts “unspoken” becomes both a shield and a prison.
As a lyrical companion to electronic music, this poem does what great lyricism often aspires to: it deepens the listening experience by grounding abstract sounds in raw human emotion. It’s minimal but resonant, introspective without being indulgent — a poetic voice that doesn’t scream, but lingers.
Living together constantly presents us with new challenges. Unfortunately, it is still completely normal in the workplace for superiors, managers, directors, producers or whoever else to exploit their position of power and put people under pressure to do things they don’t want to do. We must fight back and no longer put up with it. Perpetrators must not be the victims, the victims must be protected. Have we really not learned from #metoo? I’ve read a lot about work in the theater recently and I’m shocked at how culture and cultural workers are treated with contempt and treated inhumanely. This has to stop! As an artist, I support clarification and condemn the abuse!
Sometimes it just has to come out and then it’s good if you don’t have to go to the trouble of writing songs yourself. I’ve always liked “Upside down” and I think Diana Ross is just incredibly good. I took the liberty of covering her in the Jamie Callum style.
And here is our last release 2021 for NDI. Some smooth electronic dance wrapping sound, here with the Original Mix ”SUMMIT” climbs the sound mountain supported by remixers like Gianni Piras, Mr. Gemini, Marc Häfner, Bioman and El Brujo stretching the theme in various directions…
Here we go! When I wrote this song I was quite surprised … and I was satisfied. And then? Then came my bro El Brujo and pushed it to the next level. So, this is the original mix on the NDI Dadaist Manifesto Vol. 2. There are so many cool, artist I am glad to be a part of this collaboration with El Brujo and will get released by NDI. Judge Jay DJ did a huge remix of all tracks. Get your copy in October 15th on Beatport.
Imagine a new world. At some time in the future, the storm has passed, it has left deep marks on each of us. The darkness has not cleared yet, and things could be better, however there is a great desire to be happy again. Many things have lost their meaning, the cultures of the world have united, no one gives more importance to the color of the skin or to the origin, because the arrival of the inhabitants from other worlds has changed the perspectives, definitively.
We will all be the same because we are all different, and differences become strengths, each one brings its cultural contribution for the common good. Innovative ideas are welcome, but the traditions of past cultures are also an enrichment for everyone and not an insurmountable dogma. This Various Artists compilation on Jambalay Rec it has the narrative power of a fantasy novel or a film, transporting you to a fantastic and yet so current dimension that interacts with the present and looks like the future that it could be, this is its value in terms of entertainment for all!
