DJ Seinfeld returns with his third album If This Is It, out now on Ninja Tune. Born in Malmö, Seinfeld developed his sound through lo-fi house before shifting toward more detailed production and wider tonal range.
According to the press release, The album’s themes are shaped by a tension between restlessness and contentment. From an early age Seinfeld struggled to fully settle into the present, often missing home while on family holidays. “It became a running theme with my parents, lamenting my inability to enjoy where we were” he adds, “Fast-forward to now, and that restlessness is still intact, especially with my job being what it is and travelling so often – I find myself always looking to go somewhere else, but whatever I’m looking for is never really there, and where I am is no good unless I’m able to leave… This realisation isn’t something new, but I’ve had issues accepting it. It’s a sense of anxiety in the present.”
