Progressive house artist Ward Andrews is ending 2025 on a high note. After a year marked by multiple releases, standout sets on art cars at both EDC and Burning Man, and a growing presence within the melodic and progressive community, Andrews now offers one final gift to listeners. “Sunbeams,” an evocative instrumental single, is now on Vivifier Records.
“Sunbeams” wastes no time building tension. Its opening measures immediately immerse the listener in a shimmering world of layered synths and careful modulation. A cinematic, atmospheric synth line anchors the background, while glitchy accents ripple across the soundscape. In the middle, breakbeat rhythms and acid-tinged textures briefly shift the energy. This creates a moment of contrast before the track settles back into its steady, driving undercurrent.
Despite being four minutes long and relying on a repeating melody, “Sunbeams” never feels static. Andrews keeps the progression alive by continually introducing new sonic elements, creating a balance between simplicity and complexity that rewards both casual listeners and audiophiles.
For Andrews, the song is more than just another release; it’s a personal and artistic statement. After choosing to pursue his DJ career at 50 years old, he has become a testament to the idea that passion has no expiration date. His journey shows that chasing a dream is always valid, even when the timing defies expectations.
Originally conceived as an interlude and moment of calm within his sets, “Sunbeams” carries a reflective spirit. “I designed Sunbeams to carry the listener forward, like a companion. The intent in the composition is to lighten the heart, open the mind, and ready my audience for new chapters,” Andrews shares.
With “Sunbeams,” Ward Andrews closes his transformative year with warmth, clarity, and a fresh perspective. Follow the light and step into 2026 with Ward Andrews by using the links below.
