IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear everyone,

For the past nine years, I have been producing- and performing as Radiance. During these times, I have learned a lot about producing music, meeting awesome people, made new friends, and played at parties that were my dream, since I started making music.

But I have forgotten how to live, what love exactly is, how to enjoy perfect moments, how to trust life and be in the present moment. I created a lot of illusions of time and reality, that I don’t have time besides putting the effort in the creation and have left my pathway, and most of all forgetting the people who I really love.

For the past two years, I was working on a very big project regarding Radiance. I was working on a album called 'Fractals of Sound'. I started this album because of a dream I had at the end of 2016. To be precise, the 27th of December. This dream was so vivid and clear, I realized it was the next big goal to create something, with a goal to change the perspective of the current Hardstyle scene.

I was almost at the end of the creation process, made 16 tracks including collabs that are completely finished. Planning the release and the announcements, also realizing that this year would be my last as a hardstyle producer. I’ve realized that I can’t continue with this chapter anymore, it would be totally against my will and my real true being. It's hard to resonate with Hardstyle music and putting it as my priority and forgetting about love (which should be in first place) is wrong. I have met my soulmate at the end of this year's chapter and I’ve come to the realization that all that matters is love. Love is what wins in all situations.

It’s time to turn the tables upside down and shed this skin. I want to give away my years of work, my album, my sounds to you. Maybe someday you will understand why I shattered this illusion. I have put a lot of time into creating the tracks for 'Fractals of Sound' and I hope you get the same emotions I got from my creations. It’s time to close this chapter and make space for a new magical journey of sound!

I am very grateful to all of you who have been with me on this path, who have supported me, and who has worked with me to get this Radiance project bigger and fulfill my dreams. I hope I have touched people through my music, and those who I met on this journey. Without you, it wouldn’t have been possible.

Before I will share my lifework with you all, I first want to thank some people in special. The Radiance project wouldn't have been the same without them: Kasper van Erve, John Söderström, Stewart Edwards, Jordy van den Berg, Al Innes, Maxime Legendre, Gijs van Kester, Rick Veldhuis and Ryan Biggs.

Thank you once again for all the great times.
Much love,

Artjom

Vond het in zijn bericht best verwarrend overkomen wat hij nu precies bedoelt.

Even voortgezet uit het WJD: ik snap het ook niet helemaal. Dat je je passie voor de muziek/het genre kwijt bent kan ik absoluut inkomen, maar dat blijkt totaal niet uit het verhaal. Ik begrijp eruit dat hij zijn vriendin prioriteit wil geven, maar het DJ/producer aspect van Radiance was niet eens zijn fulltime baan, en hij woont ook nog eens gewoon in zijn thuisland (dus niet Nederland). Verder had ie op jaarbasis ook niet meer dan een stuk of 4 boekingen, dus ook daar gaat niet belachelijk veel tijd in zitten.

Vind het apart, maar in ieder geval zeker jammer dat hij stopt. Altijd een producer geweest die veel potentie had, en waarvan met name collabs naar mijn mening altijd zeer goed uitpakten. Ik vond het alleen zonde dat hij regelmatig grote EP’s uitbracht met tracks die veelal dezelfde sounds bevatten, waardoor zijn solo’s vaak niet heel memorabel waren (uitzonderingen daargelaten). Ik ben dan ook benieuwd naar zijn album, wat zo te zien in zijn geheel solo is (hoewel hij ook over collabs spreekt in zijn bericht, maar in de tracklist zie ik volgens mij alleen vermeldingen van vocalisten). Ik ga het in ieder geval zo spoedig mogelijk een luisterbeurt geven. Toch jammer voor Radiance, want dit album had hem wellicht een carriereboost kunnen geven.

Gefeliciteerd met de hosting op de laatste Q-Dance editie heren Deze is samen met EoL hoorde ik? Ik en een groot deel van Hardtraxx zal er zeker te vinden zijn.

Hey guys ✌️#Update

Since I have many unreleased tracks and can't improve them because of crashes and/or a hardware switch, I decided to make a bundle to give away for free.
This obviously is not the quality I want to put out but I simply think it's a big shame to leave them dusted forever and as promised I would give away free music as a gift for your amazing support.
This year is very busy for me because of my medical research graduation internship I'm following, so I'm sorry to be pretty quiet as Vyral. But more reason to put out some music!

When I've made the content ready I will upload it here, on YouTube, SoundCloud and I will provide download links.

Thank you all for the great support I recieved the last 2 years, and even before that❤️

Cheers, Moos
