Hello friends, hope you're well. As I write this the time is currently 23:59 PM.
I was up at 6am this morning at the crack of dawn. I was getting ready to travel to see my son and spend the day with him as it was his 3rd birthday.
Any parents will know, or won't know should I say, is where does the time go? Time certainly does go by pretty quickly and before we know it our children have grown up right before our eyes. Scary right? But beautiful at the same time watching our children grow.
I'd like to add a quote by the famous Mathew Broderick who plays Ferris Bueller in the movie ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'' from 1986.
'' Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it''.
This quote resonates with me on a deep level, which brings me to the point of the title of this blog, ''Euphoria''. I chose the title name specifically. I shall explain why.
I arrived home this evening at 05:30PM, and I was absolutely shattered. I was tired, I had no energy, my eyes were hurting and often closing at times when I sat down. I was literally ready to go to bed at 7:00pm, which isn't like me, because I stay up late often because I'm working in the studio on new projects, producing records, or planning new DJ sets and more exciting things, because that makes me happy most and it's what I love doing, It's what keeps me going in life.
Before I started writing this I was getting myself ready for bed, but stumbled across some new Techno I haven't heard before, and before I knew it... I'm wide awake and I'm ready to get to work on a new exciting project. Either inspired to produce a new record or plan an event.
All my energy came back, my tiredness faded instantaneously and my eyes didn't hurt anymore. Baring in mind I have to be up again at 5:00AM the following morning. I should be sleeping, but I can't, I'm too excited.
EUPHORIA!
Friends, I am so driven, passionate and absolutely in love with my work, aka Techno and House music (producing and playing) that it almost makes me an insomniac. I have so many exciting things I can't wait to share with the world that It makes me work even harder to ensure it MUST get to you all. The world must hear, must see, must experience what I experience. Such as new events I'm planning, radio shows, new releases that makes the ravers on the dance floor jump to the highest podiums.
Words can't comprehend this feeling. My brother actually asked me once if I was on drugs haha. He asked If was taking pills, (ecstasy) because I'm always up at the crack of dawn, and I don't go to bed until early hours of the morning, even when I have to be up at 5am. I'm always full of energy, happy, and just generally in a loving and Euphoric mood 90% of the time in my life. That is because of what I do, my love for music. It flows through my veins which keeps my heart beating.
The honest truth is, I have never taken drugs in my life, Ever. I don't even drink alcohol. I have the odd beer now and again once in a blue moon. But I don't drink or do any drugs at all.
What I do within the music industry, what I believe in so strongly and passionately about is my work and my craft. It just creates a natural Euphoric effect on me. Unless you understand what I'm saying you won't ''Get it''. You know? Some get it, some don't. You either get it or you don't get it. Either way it's totally fine.
But to feel how I feel literally every single day is the best feeling in the world. I can't wait to see you all on the dance floor at my events partying and feeling how I feel.
