When I wrote this track, I kept coming back to the meaning behind the title.
Stream of consciousness is the idea of thoughts flowing naturally from one to the next—almost like an inner voice that never fully stops.
You’re lying awake…
“I need to answer that email… speaking of work… that studio session… that synth sounded like something from the ’80s… I should sample that record…”
One thought triggers another. No strict plan. Just movement.
That feeling became the foundation of this track. Melodies, textures and ideas unfolding organically, leading into one another without forcing the direction. The phrase was introduced by William James in the late 1800s, and later explored in literature by writers like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.
Now it’s become music.
Stream of Consciousness is now available everywhere in two versions.

If you’re after something a little different, the Original Mix brings its own groove and programming.
If straight-up 4/4 house energy is more your thing, the House Version has you covered.
Two sides of the same idea, choose your journey.
