EFFEN

I destroy dancefloors for a living.

[EFFEN @Effen_]

An absolutely beautiful summary. My wife and I are so touched by this. Thank you to all at @ILikeItPure ❤️❤️❤️

My latest release ‘Dear God’ has landed. https://t.co/z1mtg033hO

[Pure Trance @ILikeItPure]

For the past 2 years, Singapore's @effen_ had to battle cancer. His journey inspired him to create 'Dear God'.

Through the sounds of 'Dear God', as well as in words, he shared his incredible story with us, and we'd love to share it with you ❤ 🙏

Melodically majestic, Effen's 'Cadence Theory' builds incessantly, unafraid to whip around again where other tracks would begin to fade. This is the sound of a producer on the crest of a wave of inspiration.

'Cadence Theory' is out now on #PureTrance -> https://t.co/J5zoTdPqIQ

[Pure Trance @ILikeItPure]

Do you hear the rhythm… or do you feel it?

'Cadence Theory' by Effen lives somewhere in between.

Effen is a man who has faced some heavy personal circumstances, but emerged making even better music than before. A talented producer whose records hit the spot every time. Same goes for melodic beauty ‘Cadence Theory’, out tomorrow on #PureTrance -> https://t.co/J5zoTdPqIQ

@MyonMuzik Neumann is 🔥🔥🔥 Still blown away by their KH series monitors. Their audio interface looks insane as well, albeit with a killer price tag 😆

I periodically get into a state where I can't stop making music, it's all I can do from wakeup to sleep. I don't do anything else or see anyone. It's meditative.

I'm not 'writing' or 'working' consciously...or 'doing' anything for that matter... it feels like I'm simply a medium that is channeling energy. My brain is tuned to some other frequency different than my normal day-to-day. It's hard to explain.

If I think too much about what is happening, it kills what is happening. Creative breakthroughs always arrive during this state. I let nature take its course, then at some point it's gone.

This state lasts anywhere from an afternoon to a couple weeks. I'm on Day 8 (9?) of pulling 12-16 hour days, and I've done 12 or 13 tracks.

Doing other stuff and living 'balanced' in one of these states totally kills it for me. I practice balance after these periods, lol.

Once this thing is gone, it's just gone. I then do other stuff and continue life 'normally.'

The days of making music every day, inspired or not, are long gone. I find making music while uninspired feels stressful. Uninspired periods can last months. It's always cyclic, so I don't worry so much anymore.

[Pure Trance @ILikeItPure]

Singapore's @effen_ follows up his stunning ‘Dear God’ smash with this gorgeous, pumping 138 bpm remix of @PaulSawyer_ 's ‘Gold’, where the soaring vocal from the wonderful Carla Werner really glows among pristine melodic goodness.

Out this Friday -> https://t.co/J2po0EyDly

@richsolarstone Have a good one! 🙂👍

[spencer @Spencer_Brown]

We artists are advised to make videos every day, keep consistent content flowing. Music has become a mere vehicle to make it happen.

I'm not an influencer, in fact, I don't like being the center of attention. I'm actually a pretty quiet person. I like the music to talk on behalf of how I feel. We have entered an era where being a musician and being an influencer have intertwined.

Zooming out...what is the point here? To stay 'relevant' ? To get 'bigger' ? I've hit on this before but being 'bigger' is a losing battle; there is always someone 'ahead' of you no matter what you do. I consciously quit this rat race.

When I feel my mind drift to comparing myself to others, I reset to the big question: what is the point? Ultimately, it's to sustain doing something I love, while making an impact on those who listen. It's these 'why' moments that I try to pivot to gratitude and to remind myself how lucky I am.

Spitting out disposable videos is not it for me. I've chosen to go down this career to have fun. I've made most of my career decisions following my gut, which tends to point to...having fun. Horse with blinders. Ignore the distractions, resist what is going on around you. Follow the gut.

I'm not going to feed these algorithmic machines something that is inauthentic. If my career fades because I'm not conforming, at least I go down with pride doing something that brings me joy while leaving a trail of music that helped some people along the way.

Ultimately, that's the point. Back to the studio to finish my third album.
