↟ Future Forest ↟ Festival , I’m once again left speechless. 🌳🥹
For the third year in a row, I’ve had the privilege of setting foot in New Brunswick, meeting such a beautiful community, connecting with nature, with myself, and with music.
Every year, I’m welcomed the way every artist should be welcomed: with respect, trust, and the feeling that what I do truly makes a difference. I feel more at home here than I sometimes do in my own city. 💫
This year, I was given the mission of taking people from darkness all the way to sunrise, something I had never done before. Until the very last minute, I had nothing concretely planned. No intro, no tracklist prepared in advance. I decided to trust my intuition 100%, and somehow, I found myself in the most incredible flow state throughout the entire set. Everything just seemed to unfold naturally, track after track, moment after moment. 🌀
Taking over from an artist playing 25 BPM faster than me, without losing the energy or momentum, was a challenge I’m proud to say I accomplished. And surprisingly, at 5 a.m., the dancefloor just kept filling up, and people gave me an energy I could never have anticipated. 🔥
Thank you to everyone who was there, to everyone who came up to me throughout the weekend, and to my Montreal friends who all showed up to support me in the early hours of the morning… A thousand thank-yous, Future Forest. I’m so grateful to be part of this beautiful, big family. 💗
And to end, I want to share a very special little moment, my second-to-last track (and slide too).
My friend Dom Dom , who has only been producing for a few months, had sent me some of his productions. I gently worked one of them into my set as the sun was rising, and seeing him dance to one of his very first tracks, hearing it played on a big sound system for the first time, truly touched me. 🙏
I’m so proud of you, my friend. Keep it up. ❤️
See you in the future 🛸
With love,
