Following the release of singles ‘Lonely’, ‘Holding Me Back’, and album title track ‘Running In A Dream’, Berlin-based producer and live act Nils Hoffmann now shares his latest album ‘Running In A Dream’, out on Anjunadeep.

Moulded by German electronic music culture and his own classical training, music has always been a part of Nils’ life. Embarking on his musical journey at the age of 16, Nils swiftly gained a wealth of experience to draw upon. To date, the 27-year-old producer has amassed over 120 million streams on his music catalogue and performed at renowned venues, including Printworks London, the Brooklyn Mirage, and The Gorge Amphitheatre.

‘Running In A Dream’ features an illustrious array of collaborators including Australian singer-songwriter Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Swedish producer Kasbo, British singer-songwriter Rae Morris, Brisbane-based producer and vocalist The Kite String Tangle, and Australian musician Dustin Tebbutt.


Drawing inspiration from industry heavyweights such as RÜFÜS DU SOL, Ólafur Arnalds, and Stephan Bodzin, Nils showcases his mastery of melodic house production throughout the album. From heartwarming synth leads to contemplative vocals, the high-calibre compositions of ‘Running In A Dream’ is a testament to the talents of the accomplished producer.

Nils’ album, Running In A Dream, follows the release of his sophomore album, A Radiant Sign, which launched on Anjunadeep last year. The album achieved remarkable feats, amassing an impressive 24 million streams to date and gaining radio support from leading platforms, including BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM Chill, and KCRW. It soared to the top spot on iTunes Dance charts upon release and quickly garnered support from artists including Maceo Plex, Joris Voorn, and Eelke Kleijn. Nils embarked on an extensive live tour to support the album, enthralling audiences across three continents at over 40 mesmerising shows.

In tandem with the album release, Nils is embarking on a live tour spanning North America and Europe, with performances in cities including London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, as well as appearing at select Anjunadeep label showcases, including Anjunadeep Open Air: Miami.

Tickets are available at nilshoffmannmusic.com.
“I‘m very happy to present this new record to everyone after working on it over the last few months. The album was inspired by my world travels and, of course, my home in Berlin. This is a very personal project to me and is a culmination of so many beautiful experiences I've had over the past year. I‘ve spent most of my downtime on tour to finish it, and I can’t wait for you all to hear it at home and at my shows.” - Nils Hoffmann

[item value="10"] Nils Hoffmann feat. Panama - Far Behind (TIBASKO Remix)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Nils Hoffmann feat. Panama track Far Behind was definitely one of the stand out offerings in his album and now we are blessed to  enjoy the brand new TIBASKO Remix that is simply irresistible. The techy groovy chunky crunchy basslines, pounding techy percussion with slightly breaks influences and on top warm synths and the always mesmerizing vocals by Panama. The result is a cinematic track with all  the darkness, moodiness and coldness of the winter nights that will hypnotize and relax your senses straight away carrying you up and away particularly when the climax comes in and all the elements are in full force to cast a spell on any listener. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

 Berlin-based producer and live act Nils Hoffmann releases his highly anticipated album ‘A Radiant Sign’ on Anjunadeep.

With singles including ‘Afterglow’ and ‘Let Me Go’ already released this summer, Nils has picked up an impressive list of radio support including BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM Chill and KCRW, and amassed over 2M streams across all album singles so far. This adds to an already-impressive list of tastemakers like Diplo, Bob Moses and Pete Tong who’ve championed his work on Poesie Musik, Ton Töpferei, Bitbird and Counter Records.

The album marks the beginning of a new chapter for the 26-year-old up-and-comer. Finding himself going through a transitional stage in his life, Nils used the album to help him escape and give him hope in uncertain times.

“The album is about new beginnings, and represents the beautiful results that can come from fighting through difficult circumstances. I wanted to give people a collection of music that they can be absorbed by; giving them the hope and faith to keep going through the twists and turns of life. While writing the album, I realised that challenging situations do eventually come to an end, and while facing those challenges, it’s best to look ahead. That’s what ‘A Radiant Sign’ stands for.”

Having started releasing music and touring the world at the young age of 16, Nils already has a wealth of experience to call upon. Drawing musical inspiration from artists like RÜFÜS DU SOL, Ólafur Arnalds and Stephan Bodzin, Nils showcases his masterful melodic house productions over the 13 tracks of ‘A Radiant Sign’. From the intertwining synths in ‘Let Me Go’, to the hard hitting drums in ‘Tiderays’, and the ambient textures in ‘A Radiant Sign’, Nils blends meticulously crafted electronic elements, with vocals and organic sounds throughout.


‘A Radiant Sign’ features a broad range of collaborations, including electronic duo TENDER, South African vocalist Julia Church, singer-songwriter Panama, acclaimed Australian songstress Gordi, London artist bailey, ‘Breathing’ vocalist Malou, UK duo Hi Frisco, and renowned neo-classical composer Niklas Paschburg.

Nils Hoffmann is going on tour this Autumn, playing headline shows across Europe as well as joining Anjunadeep on their Europe Tour and supporting Ben Böhmer on his ‘Begin Again’ tour, with more global shows to be announced in the coming months.

Nils is part of the next wave of emerging talent from London-based electronic label Anjunadeep, who have broken electronic music stars such as Lane 8, Yotto, Eli & Fur and Ben Böhmer.

‘A Radiant Sign’ is out now on Anjunadeep.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Anjunadeep delivers wonderful albums that demand to be part of your collection. The upcoming and highly talented Nils Hoffman delivers a magnificent album of deep melancholic smooth music that incorporates elements of house, trance and techno with organic elements and cinematic soundscapes. The singers take part in the project have delicate smooth distinctive voice with that retro tone making them inseparable with the music soundtrack. The instrumental tracks sound pleasurable and powerful enough to tell their stories and introduce to their inner tales. An album that needs to be enjoyed from start to finish to enjoy its radiating healing effects. Pure Gold [/content]
