I never understood why this song was called Sunset Blvd, other than the lyrical reference. Sounded a lot closer to “Manhattan Beach” or something.

2009 was the year I really got into trance, and this song commemorates that period of my life. The pure vocal bliss, the arps, the cuts, the build, the beach waves that inspire: this is a great tune. Helps with the occassional monotony that comes with daily routine-drenched life.

Back when I had nothing to do, I used to drive down to the beach all alone listening to dance music. It was weird how it never got boring. It was extremely relaxing to arrive to Newport on such occassions. I’d walk out on the beach, play a song like Daniel Kandi’s “Venice Beach,” and just enjoy the evening sunset. It wasn’t just relaxing, it was an escape, one that I need now more than ever.
