  • Back on Track

    With a newly finished home studio and with some new gear, I’ve completed the new six-track album within a couple of weeks. “Back on Trak” lands squarely in a space where darker moods interplay with a mindset of “not taking oneself too seriously”.

    The foundation is dub, the projection is psychedelic, the sounds are both, retro and futuristic, and the space is filled with swirling air of bouncy echoes.

    I feel that, with this “new beginning” (when it comes to the space and workflow) but old and tested vibe, I’m starting to channel long suppressed creative juices into something super exciting.

  • The flow (revisited)

    I  consider “Be in the flow” (released on Mystic Sound Records in 2015) one of my most “colorful” albums, so far. During the COVID pandemic I took a good, careful listen – after not hearing the album for quite a while – and noticed that even though the tracks are well crafted, have decent melodies and captivating grooves, they luck… the flow! So, after some edits (peeling off some extra layers within the original mix, and adding some gentle touches here and there), I think these tracks finally have some room to “breath”.
    Take a listen and, hopefully, you’ll enjoy the time you spend in the Flow (revisited).

  • Standing with Ukraine

    While my heart is heavy with sadness and anger, I decided today to put this compilation of my music together and encourage everyone to direct their thoughts to people of Ukraine and their struggle.

    This album is offered as a free download but, if you “name-your-price”, I’ll match the amount and donate to Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to support Ukrainian population impacted by the invasion.

    However, to avoid unnecessary delays, I encourage you to donate directly to a trusted charity of your choice that supports the same cause.

  • Nectar: 2021 alternative version (we all need some medicine…)

    As year 2021 ran its course, I think most of us felt like many things did not unvail as we wished. My early 2021 optimistic and upbeat EP “2021: a new hope odyssey” needed some rework…

    So I’ve recorded these alternative versions of the tracks. The EP is now available on all major streaming platforms

  • Icy Rainbows

    Inaugural album from my new side project, Icy Rainbows, has been released on Kahvi Collective, a cult label releasing quality artists in the IDM, electronica, ambient and chillout since 1997. Yes, that’s the netlabel that also released Liquid Stranger and Solar Fields music in the past 😉

    Here is how Nik, who runs the label, describes this album: “A release by guest artist ‘Icy Rainbows’ now, with an album of almost the same name, I See Rainbows. Mixture of found sound, resampled audio from various sources, distorted beats all come together in a kaleidoscope of sonic colours. Echoes of classic Future Sound of London from the early 90s with acoustic, electric and synthetic elements.
