The Lights Are On Again

Alright, so I’m about to start a newsletter.

Those who know me a little longer (and better) know that writing about music, and writing in general, has always been a well-groomed passion of mine.

I’ve always been convinced that music is one of the strings that hold people together. Music is about connection, and the more personal it gets, the stronger the connection. But there’s more to it. Music is also about life, life as it ought to be. It’s about memories of moments I had on the dance floor that really resonate with me. Because to me, dance is about freeing yourself and freeing your mind, freeing your body.

But no one seems to dare writing about this. No one seems to dare digging deeper into the life-changing aspects of dance music culture. And if you do, you’re dismissed as an eclectic intellectual.

Now, we’ve all read these articles that make music sound revolutionary and then we listen to it and it’s some boring ass minimal techno. And I’m sure we all agree that we don’t need more of this. So what will you get?

There will be some record reviews, maybe some interviews and yes, I will rant about things and people and trends. But most of all I want to pass on all that knowledge, wisdom and virtues I gathered in the past 25 years in a way you’d expect to read in a novel or poem.

I’m not too sure about how this will continue nor how it will end, but it’s exactly this kind of ‚not knowing‘ that gets me all antsy.
