2025, what a FUCKIN’ year! I won’t reflect the hardship, the shite and the downs.. All i know it made me, me and it brought me here. I will just reflect and celebrate the milestone and the achievement that i’ve made and what i accomplished thus far, alone and with the selected few friends (you guys know who you are...) that pushes me forward, stick with me and believe in me, with that, I THK YOU! And appreciate every single one of you! And yes, especially to all of the awesome music that held me together, kept me sane (in an insane world) and had me spinning/ playing them over and over and over and craving for more. This ain’t no best of list, just my TOP listening earworm for 2025…
And yes… Hurt nvr heals, love does… but, music SAVES!!!
Bring it on 2026!!!

My 2025 wrapped!
So, 2025 is my feeble attempt detangling myslf away from all streaming industrial complexities nonsenses shite! I’m making sure that my money ain’t going to any genocidal entities, but rather straight to the artists without being ripped off! It had also made me dive deeper and appreciate more “REAL” music and not some A.I. manipulated stupid nonsense shite! Or some algorithm nonsense that tries hard. Am not asking anyone to do the same, am just going with my conscience and what i feel is right to be human. And most importantly to enjoy FUCKIN’ REAL MUSIC AND ART created by REAL HUMANS!

From fantasizing, to rough sketches, into a full blown scaled out drawing and into reality. Arguably my best and proudest, being able to make this come into reality! Finally, all of my tapes (at least 90% of them…) can breathe easy now!!! Gd job Amir! And big thx to my awesome carpenter for a job well done!
