My biggest ambition is to create music that feels like a refuge, something people can step into and feel completely safe, understood, and connected.

Chinese composer, producer and artist CDA REVE, intertwines the softness of ambient piano, with the modern lo-fi escapism of a trap-style beat, and divinely gentle vocals, for the enchanting calm and embrace of 22:22.
Inspired by the likes of Aphex Twin and Radiohead, Jack Goodman’s ambient compositions meander from feelings of hope to those of uncertainty and even despair, and that profoundly human component is key to making his music connect and stand out.
Addictively satisfying original house music, an adventurer’s theme tune – an electronic producer with a fine ear for unique layering, rhythms, riffs, and a clear passion for the playfulness of creativity.
