11. Pet Shop BoysBehaviour

I’ve been a fan of the Pet Shop Boys for a long time, I even bought singles as they came out when I was younger. But revisiting Behaviour, I realised how much it captured an emotional depth that I hadn’t fully appreciated at 15. There’s a subtlety to the album, a way it navigates introspection and melancholy without ever being heavy-handed. It’s precise, yet tender, and there’s a space within it that feels uniquely personal.

That emotional clarity has always inspired me in my own music. Music, for me, is a process of working through thoughts in my mind, sorting through ideas and feelings, and Behaviour exemplifies how electronic music can do that with elegance. I naturally aim to channel that same honesty and reflection in what I create, trying to reach that place where music can feel both universal and intimately mine.
