A luscious slice of nostalgic piano house, ‘Older’ sees Düsseldorf-based producer DJ Thommek indulging in an evocative yet electrifying EDM anthem, blending retro and contemporary influences with hypnotic female vocals. Written as a personal reflection about the permanent passing of time, the record develops with charisma and expansive allure, allowing listeners to identify with the track on both a kinetic and lyrical level. In fact, it’s a piece that adapts well to easy listening sessions, alongside its dancefloor-driven core.
The German creative has been dabbling in music all of his life, but it’s only in the past five years that he felt compelled to write material to share with the wider world. Using Ableton Live, DJ Thommek started exploring production on a deeper level, crafting material that’s dance-inducing, but also reflective and meaningful. It’s not a common quality in the EDM landscape, and for that, we should give the German talent his fair share of credit.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Older’, Thommek explains: “It’s about the passing of time; how we grow older, change, and try to hold on to moments that keep slipping away. The song combines a deep emotional atmosphere with rhythmic energy, reflecting both nostalgia and movement.” Overall, a worthy discovery and a fantastic listening experience.
