Last year we welcomed Pan Amsterdam to the Heavenly family, and today he has shared a new brand new track and video. ‘Day Out’ follows the release of ‘White Ninja’ and is Pan Amsterdam’s first release of 2025.

The track is a gorgeously woozy mix of ambient sound, hip hop thump and the flickering percussion of weirdo electronic music. Over the top, a perfect Pan Amsterdam lyric that “expresses my frustration and then dances my way out of the constriction”.

On the track, Pan Amsterdam comments:

“When I originally wrote the lyrics to “Day Out”, I had previously been scrolling on social media and saw this story of a white mother making her interracial daughter do a bunch of tricks for the camera to keep her mother posting viral content. Much of it against the daughter’s will. My own daughter is interracial and although as parents we would never do something like this to our child, it made me wonder how often this sort of thing happens behind closed doors.

But when making my music I try not to preach too much. So I decided to lead with a lyric that expressed my frustration and then dance my way out of the constriction, as George Clinton puts it. The assimilation tactics, the frustration of the mundane worldly redundancies, and the triumph of creativity and expression through frequency is what it seems like I was after, here.”

A great video featuring archive footage lifted from the legendary Detroit Party Scene TV show which often featured music from many of Detroit techno’s early pioneers.

On the video, he adds:

“This footage is from numerous moments in the Detroit Party Scene that embarks on the earliest forms of Techno, House, Dance, and Hiphop. I like the culture clashing as well.”
