I just finished scheduling all the uploads for this year. You can expect a video every Friday around 10/11 PM UTC until January 30th 2026. The next year of uploads will be mostly from old playlists I had created back in 2016/2017 and a few of them are relatively newer stuff from 2020 to today. I may add even more uploads on top of this if time permits, however, I can only promise weekly for now.
I've also noticed that this channel and many others like it have taken a complete nosedive in views, subscriptions, and watch time because the YouTube algorithm is now favoring AI-generated "content" that can produce longer videos faster. It's a terrifying reality, but I want you to know that even if my channel isn't getting as much exposure as it did many years ago, all of this work is worth it if it means that at least one person out there is enjoying it.
As for the final stream I promised in my last post, that will be scheduled and determined once we get closer to 2026. Until that time, enjoy the music and support the artists.
It's been a little over a year since my last upload and many have been wondering about the current state of the channel, where I've been, or if I'm even alive. Well, the good news is I’m alive and well—unless, of course, you're someone who prays for my death and destruction. But I am alive, and I haven't uploaded in a year because I graduated college and started working a full-time job.
I didn’t expect to enjoy my job as much as I do, so it’s taken up more of my attention than I anticipated. That led to this unplanned break from uploading. During this time away, I’ve had a chance to reflect on the last nine years of Dreamwave, and I’ve come to the decision that it’s time to bring it to an end.
That said, I don’t want to abruptly abandon the channel and stop uploading without a proper farewell. I feel like I owe it to all of you to give one last solid run of music, so my plan is to upload throughout this next year, ending with a special live stream on the channel’s 10-year anniversary in January 2026. It will feature every song—and maybe a little something extra. It feels like the right way to close out this project that has meant so much to so many of you.
I also apologize for the lack of communication during this break, but I truly appreciate all the support and understanding from the community throughout this "lost" year.
NOTE: I'M NOT DELETING THE CHANNEL IN 2026. I'm just going to stop uploading. The channel will remain intact as an archive as long as YouTube exists.

Hello everyone,
It's been a little over a year since my last upload and many have been wondering about the current state of the channel, where I've been, or if I'm even alive. Well, the good news is I’m alive and well—unless, of course, you're someone who prays for my death and destruction. But I am alive, and I haven't uploaded in a year because I graduated college and started working a full-time job.
