David used an edit of our track for the third installment of his Familiarity trilogy. In which he explores the joys of collaborating as Autistici. It became a psychedelic dub-techno track, with a good blanket of glitchy ambient on top. The EP leans into IDM.

We made a track called "Scalar". Later this year, the EP centered around this track will be released, featuring remixes by artist friends.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with someone again. Not the least my label boss (from @audiobulb.bsky.social Records) David Newman, aka Volume Objects , or (in this case) Autistici .

On May 17th, Distant Fires Burning, as always, released a new anniversary track. This time, a tribute to Pete Namlook, Tetsu Inoue, and Arni "Futuregrapher" Gretar (Moatun7), who passed away earlier this year. All proceeds went to Te Gek!?

As an artist, I can always look back on a year filled with new music, new friends, and new collaborations, and that makes it all so wonderfully exciting. Can I conclude 2025 as the year of Reverend Basstorius

Yesterday night I read of the passing of Ken Downie of The Black Dog, on saturday. I'm really struck by it. He was an enormous influence on my music.
One of the moments that i remember the best was their passage on Brussel Electronic Music festival in 2009.

The concert will take place at De Corridor Wetteren . It's free, but if you'd like to attend, reservations are recommended, as seating is limited.
For me, it's another opportunity to showcase new music.
On Saturday, January 24th, I'll be performing a concert for Starlit Frequencies. Also on the bill is the fantastic @zoolmusic.bsky.social (aka Gerry Vergult / Fred Angst).
