This month marks the month in which I started making music full time! I officially quit my job as an app developer to put all my energy into music. As scary as it is, I’m extremely excited and honoured that I’ve been giving the chance of doing this thing full time. I want to thank everyone who listened to my music, came to my shows and supporter me over the years. It would not have been possible w...

Distant has come a long way over the last few years. We are already at episode 58, which is absolutely crazy, and we have had multiple events hosted in Amsterdams finest club: De Marktkantine. It is very painful to see her having to close her doors this June. Luckily we have one last chance to give it a proper goodbye. Do join me on May 6th in De Marktkantine and celebrate the place we had the pri...

It has been a year since I released some new music, but in just two weeks time two different tracks have been put out! A remix by Joris Voorn of Fool's paradise and a remix for Joachim Pastor called Wardenclyffe. Very happy to finally have some new work out in the world. Both tracks are included in this months episode! And even more exciting is that more stuff will be released in the next few week...

We find ourselves in some contradicting times. On one hand, there are things to feel happy about, but on the other hand there are some incredibly painful things happening in the world. It makes it feel unfair to be excited about something. Still I would like to share some great music I have come across. I hope that music will always connect us, even through conflicts or despair, and can be a place...

It's easy to feel like everything is working against you. I've had that experience multiple times of the last few months, as if the universe doesn't allow a simple win. It's easy to take every loss hard or feel sad about it. But it is way harder to remember that there are some things we cannot control. Sometimes things just kinda happen. We can keep thinking about, feel bad about it, hope things w...

It has not been my best year, as it was for most. It was definitely a rough one, full of anxiousness, uncertainty and doubt. I have had trouble staying motivated and focussed at times, but still you stuck around and supported me throughout the year. For that I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for making parts of this year unforgettable and so undeniably precious. Standing a...

When we keep plunging in and out lockdowns like this, it's hard to find positivity. I read something the other day that has inspired me greatly: "Where one door closes, another opens". I think we've all heard it once or twice before. But this time it made so much more sense to me. Instead of working against the situation, we can work with it. Putting our energy in new creative solutions, new initi...

Last few weeks were absolutely brilliant! I finally got to host another Distant event, again selling out the amazing Marktkantine, we had the chance to come together at Amsterdam Dance Event again, one of the most powerful events of the year, and in between all that I was lucky enough to move in to my beautiful new apartment. I feel extremely blessed at the moment! I hope I can share some of that...

It feels amazing to be behind the decks again! The feeling is indescribable. But, the ability to host TWO Distant events this weekend is absolutely mind blowing! It's an honour to have Sascha Braemer and Bebetta playing their music in De Marktkantine on Saturday and playing all day at the beach on Sunday to top it off. To also have ADE on the horizon fills my heart with joy. I hope to see all of y...

We are already at episode 50.. That's insane! We wanted to do something special for this enormous milestone, but we'll save that for our next Distant event, planned for December this year. It's crazy how time has been passing me by lately. Almost as if my life has been paused in time. I got pretty caught up in life, almost losing sight on what really matters to me, what drives me: pursuing my drea...

We got a little glimpse, of about two weeks, of how things used to be here in the Netherlands. It was both wonderful, exciting and motivating. Yet, sad and devastating at the same time. To see the power that music has and how much it effects our lives, for it to be hit so during this pandemic, absolutely pains me. However, it taught me one important thing. Music will always survive and always boun...

It is finally happening, the festival season is starting! With my first show of the summer tonight, I actually feel nervous again. It's weird to think it has been so unbelievably long since I could play music again in front of a dancing crowd. BUT I'm SUPER excited to see you all again! Today marks another special day, the 48th Episode of Distant, or better yet, 4 continues years of Distant! To ce...

Slowly, but surely, festival dates are finding their way back into my summer schedule. Things might finally start to look a little brighter. I can't stress enough how much I miss to meet you, see you dancing, to enjoy music in its most powerful form together. But, once again, we start this month fresh, full of hope and wonder what could be coming. And of course a new Distant episode. Enjoy, and, h...

New month, new music, new episode. This time we take a little dive into some deeper, groovy, melancholic tracks to really float away on. Let yourself get lost in this sonic adventure. Enjoy!

The last few weeks I got to release three tracks, where two of them were part of my This Never Happened debut! Thank you for all the lovely messages. They are part of this episode as well. But, there is more! Expect some more releases in the upcoming weeks. Trying to make up for not officially releasing music for an entire year(!!). Enjoy

Fool's Paradise (feat. Celine Cairo) - Original Mix by Mees Salomé

I don't know if the same applies for where you live, but for some reason the sun has been out for the last few days. Going from stone cold days with snow to blue skies and sun has really been lifting my mood the last few days. Enjoy the little things, am I right? I tried to reflect that feeling in this set, hope you like it! As a little side note, you might have heard this track in my sets more of...

I know it has been a little quiet on the release front for a while now, and I apologise to have kept you waiting for so long, but big things are happening real soon! More information will follow shortly, but you'll find a preview in here somewhere. For now though, buckle up 'cause this is one is deep, a collection of tracks to totally zone out on. Just the way I like it. Hope you enjoy! Tracklist:...

I love all the hope and energy everyone brings into the new year. Even when things seem to get weider and weirder, it does not phase is. Music is what connects us, no matter where we are. It is what drives us and keeps us fighting for a better tomorrow. Fun fact: I started this episode at the end and worked my way forward. Just to change things up a little.

We're already reaching the last episode of 2020. What an interesting year to say the least. O boy, do I miss playing these tunes live for you.. Nevertheless, I hope, as the year comes to an end, we can look back at this year and reflect. I have learned things that I never had the time to think about. I know it's early, but I wish you a wonderful holiday! All the love, Mees Tracklist: smarturl.it/d...

This Distant episode I wanted to try something different. This time I wanted to express the concept of time. Lately it feels like time has slowed down, however, in reality, time is flying faster than ever. One day goes by and before you know it, an entire year has already passed. I tried to reproduce this in this month's episode with music that, for me, has a sense of hope, nostalgia or uncertaint...

I don't think I would be the only one if I say I have been feeling a bit powerless the last couple of months. Like there is nothing more I can do to wait for it to pass. But, the longer we are stuck in this situation, the more I realise the power music has. The messages I receive from you all fill my heart with love and motivation to keep making music. Thank you for the continuous support. Enjoy!...

Summer, o summer, you are something else. Not what I was expecting, but special as always. I have really been enjoying these tracks for the last few weeks. I hope you do to. I hope to see you again soon

No parties, no festivals. What a strange time to be alive. But, no matter what, music will unite us. Let's get lost in time and space, together

3 years ago I made my very first Distant episode. I could never have dreamed of all it would lead to. It exceeded all of my expectations, and more. 36 episodes later, and because we could never let an opportunity for a party pass us by, I wanted to do something special to celebrate the last couple of very exciting and wonderful years. Together. With you. This episode was part of the anniversary li...
