"In the mindset of a traveler, there is a natural detachment that comes with the realization that something is only temporary. This worldly life, the dunia, is just like the ocean. And our hearts are the ships. We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our final destination.
Of course, detachment does not mean that we do not own things or interact with this world. On the contrary, we build this world and...

Zane Callister, the man behind Young Collective moniker, is an artist whose music resonates with me. After featuring him in several mixes, I decided to do him justice by dedicating an entire mix to the gift he brings to this world.
More than a composer, he is a storyteller. He uses music as a medium to create immersive and emotional experiences for his listeners, something I aspire to do in this show as well.
In this...

I recently re-watched the record-setting supersonic, freefall jump that Felix Baumgartner performed in October of 2012 from 39 km high up in space. The words he uttered before taking the leap of faith resonated with me:
"I know the whole world is watching, and I wish the whole world could see what I see. Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are."
I started thinking about the type of...

"There is a place nothing compares to but we only know
With a meaning so special
A place that was meant for more than we know
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes"

"Upon the sea, while sunrays splay their gold,
the sun descends behind horizon's line
to sink, at last, from visions that I hold-
as rays, with deep-sea magic, intertwine.
So like the sunset, my creative soul
reflects a brilliant glow with thoughts ablaze,
en massé to sink in fluid, deep control
where fervid songs create music's vivid rays."

Like a sparrow on a wire
Singin' the same song everyday
I'm feeling restless but I'm tired
Don't want to leave but I can't stay
You and me need something more
It's time to spread our wings and go
Through the clouds into the sun,
Far away from everyone
When we get above the rain
They are all... sunny days

"Oh, they say people come
Say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
Like brothers in blood
Sisters who ride
And we swore on that night
We'd be friends 'til we die
But the changing of winds
And the way waters flow
Life is short as the falling of snow
And now I'm gonna miss you, I know
So if you love someone
You should...

First mix of the year is dedicated to all those who strive and persist, fueled by strong desires, and in pursuit of something they aspire to achieve or a view of self, an identity, they labor to create.
"Keep this constantly in mind: weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve." -...

Nov 15 is Uplifting Pills' birthday, and this year it's turning 6! The two series, Chill Pills and Calm Pills, have come a long way since their humble beginnings, both in quality and reach. What a magnificent journey this continues to be and what a privilege to reach more and more likeminded listeners every day. I'm also happy to report the combined shows are now clocking in ~160,000 worldwide downloads a month!

"Here is your last chance to escape the mundane
billowing smoke ascends ahead
the arrival of the final train
Plan, if you can, a momentous ride
in the darkness of yearning, strength resides
sketched from dreams by a moving hand
quickly board the impatient train
Conjure a life beyond the narrows
fashion a life lived like art
without regret and free of sorrows"

"How do we close our eyes and fly away
when we find we are only human
wearing a dress of skin
and we remember how we met
and built bridges to be together?
Still, we both know
that a music flows between us
and neither one of us
can ever forget the words.
The doors are wide open
and nothing is different,
our love is full of life and time.
Unlock the dreamless sleep
and see the truth, my beloved,
look at us

This mix got inspired by one of my best discoveries of this year: Zane Callister, whose Young Collective productions and UTAH band music embody the uplifting spirit of Chill Pill mixes. Check him out at soundcloud.com/young-collective.
Another inspiration came from the second track, Her Name by Arros & Light Memory, which samples words from one of my favorite sci-fi films Her. The whole quote goes like this:

Music inspires most of my mixes, but every now and then different forms of art do, be it written or visual. This mix is inspired by the latter. A wonderful painting, called "The ocean is my happy place", from the talented, Florida-based artist Lena Belyaeva (instagram.com/lenasart2019). You can almost say her paintings are the visual version of my uplifting mixes, so I'm honored to feature her work as cover art. It really...

One year apart, but it's the "forever" part that still haunts me.
In bed, after a day of purposeful distractions, my thoughts coalesce to pose the same old question I have asked since Feb 9, 2021: how, in a blink of an eye, does a story end like this?

"Deeper than any indigo sea
Wider than the largest celestial galaxy
Is the linking web which conjoins life
Whether it be a couple
Or two strangers separated by thousands of miles
We are all connected in a universal way
Discerned by all or none, we are still unified
By a link impossible to hear, see, or touch
It sprawls the universe, entangling infinite threads
Which weave endlessly through space
Creating the...
