“The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.”
- Nietzche

My love for music has come to a point where I’ve had to decide which way to go.
You see, I’ve spent the last few years traveling the world, performing, partying, making music - friends & haters
But I got lost on its way. I forgot about what matters to me, so..

In deep regret I’m announcing the end of my career as a performing artist.

I fully acknowledge and I am eternally grateful that I was living a „dream life“, supporting myself through music production and performance, DJ’ing has literally shown me the world. However, at the same time - the lifestyle is fraught with mental health pitfalls. Extreme sleep deprivation, difficulty maintaining relationships, increased social media pressures, over-saturation of the market, long periods of isolation, and constant career instability.

I have been blessed with a hard working team at Headliner Entertainment, Wishlist Agency & Dirty Workz - which always looked after me, tried to help me & supported me.
I’d like to thank them for all the work and support over the past years, it has been a wild ride.

And of course a big thanks to YOU - all my fan’s that came out to my performances, whether it was clubs - festivals - events. It didn’t matter what weather or location, you guys kept showing up and I am forever grateful for your support.

However I am not gonna let go of music production, I will continue to produce and release music via dirty workz and I hope you will still find the joy in this, as a rather famous song of mine said „find the joy in music, find the joy in each other“

I’m gonna continue to perform on all agreed shows until December 9th!

Thank you everyone.

NOOOOOOOO...

Glad he will still be making music though.. I kinda miss his '2015 prime'.

One of the imo best euphoric producers is leaving the ring.
It was quite of predictable because of his lesser activity in the last time - but still I'm sad about it.
Always enjoyed his uplifting and energetic/creative sets.. bye Seraja!

Despite not being a huge name in the scene, Cyber is one of the main reasons I fell so much in love with hardstyle. His early tracks were full of emotion and he always tried to adapt his stye which I respected. Sad to see him leave but health comes first and I look forward to any future productions.

Thats probably the most annoying hardstyle cliche. The whole "hardstyle romance" thing, I don't get how you people can get interested in someone that listens to the same stuff and lives the same scene. Not judging or anything though - just for me thats actually a downfall haha

I think any woman who loves hardstyle becomes more attractive.

I find that hard to understand. How do you "not get" why two people can be attracted to each other because they share the same interests?

I do understand that opposites attract or whatever but if you love a particular thing such as hardstyle and the person you're into is just as passionate about hardstyle surely the attraction increases a lot?
Although my wife isn't particularly fond of my music she understands how important it is to me and I always like it when she says she does like a Hardstyle tune which is not all that often.

Btw. Junodownload is also part of the cyber monday. Every release from 2018 gets a discount of 20% if you put in CYBER2018 as a discount code. That lowers the price from 1.49€ to 1.16€ per track (320kbps).

[Scitex]

OK...

do djs play in mp3 format at events? or wav?

[Reverse Ghost]

From what I understand 320kbps is the minimum for a lot of people.

[Emre]

Isn't 320kbps (almost) as good as .wav but with way smaller file size? Some swear by .wav but I can barely hear the difference to 320.
