„Here’s why I haven’t made any music in 18 months. Many people check in on me regularly, and I’m grateful to them.

Some of you have been concerned about the lack of music news and have let me know. It’s nice to know that you’re thinking of me, even when I don’t share much news. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but I’d still like to address all of this as gracefully as possible.

We’re living in strange times, to say the least. Between conflicts, social and economic polarization that’s greater than ever, and technological developments with many facets - so many factors that highlight our insecurities and put our human capacities to the test.

Like you, I’m facing major challenges, which are forcing me to draw on my ability to adapt.

So far, I’ve shown remarkable resilience in the face of all the changes I’ve experienced, but at the same time, all the resilience in the world is useless if we don’t adapt sustainably to the changes that come our way.

To adapt and see things clearly, we sometimes need to dare to take a step backand also accept the consequences of stepping away from things that no longer inspire us for a while.

When you’re lost along the way, you look at the facts on a map. The same goes for life. And I no longer have the time or energy to take unnecessary detours or to carry along things or people that don’t concern me. So I’m taking the time to chart my own course. This takes time and a more detailed analysis of what I need to do to move forward.

It’s certainly not easy, but I can count myself lucky to be going through this experience of change in an environment as secure as mine - knowing I’m loved by many, hated by almost no one - as I seek serenity to set out anew.

Doing what inspires us isn’t a luxury; it’s a personal necessity. Such a necessity implies no compromise. Otherwise, it’s a dishonest endeavor.

That’s why I’m no longer releasing albums or sound packs and why I’ve been keeping a low profile for the past 18 months. I find it better to put everything on hold. I no longer feel the immediate need to create, and I prefer to devote myself to my personal growth until I feel the need to express myself again. This is something that, I’m sure, happens to many of you.

I think you have 30 years’ worth of music to explore or rediscover in the meantime. There are those who love everything I’ve done, and it’s already fantastic to feel that what I’ve created is still appreciated. These people value my work, often far more than those who lay claim to its intellectual property.

I plan to revisit all this music soon and rework it, because some of my tracks haven’t aged as well as I have. To do that, I’ll have to remake them from scratch, track by track, without ever using samples from the original. And I’m already expecting it to be a massive undertaking. Just like the wave of nostalgia sweeping through video games lately, many of you have expressed your own nostalgia. That’s why it’s essential to rework this discography and give it a fresh new look while remaining faithful to the originals. I hope to count on the support of those for whom these tracks truly matter.

It’s with those who appreciate what I’ve done - but above all, who I am - that I want to continue, at my own pace and on my own terms.

Big hugs to all of you who’ve shown me so much kindness”.

sounds like a burnout after that "comeback" year when he dropped one track every week. no surprise it happened tho, it was an overkill
He had to get surgery I don't know what specifically and the surgery had nothing to do with the burnout either that has never happened to him because he hasn't toured frequently like Armin or tiesto, Avicii have and are continuing to do. There was a personal problem that happened I won't go into details otherwise I will get banned.
