Solomun is one of the most influential figures in modern electronic music, known for his emotionally resonant approach to house and melodic techno. Based in Hamburg and deeply connected to the international club circuit, he rose to global prominence through releases on his label Diynamic and his worldwide famous residency Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza. But beyond clubs, festivals and his marathon DJ sets that balance introspection with dancefloor energy Solomun has built a reputation for using music as storytelling—often pairing sound with personal reflections, moods, and moments in time, and this is exactly the concept behind his “Christmas in Bed” tradition
Over the past several years, “Christmas in Bed” has become a quiet but meaningful annual ritual for Solomun and his listeners. Unlike peak-time club mixes, these sessions are designed for stillness: home listening, late nights, and moments of pause during the holidays. Previous editions leaned toward deep, melodic, and ambient textures, often arriving without tracklists and with minimal promotion. Fans have come to expect not just a mix, but a seasonal checkpoint—music that invites reflection at the end of the year rather than celebration alone.
The 2025 edition of Christmas in Bed continues this tradition with a strong philosophical anchor: presence. Rather than looking forward or backward, the mix is framed around the idea that the only real moment is the one we are currently in. Solomun accompanied the release with a short written message reminding listeners that tomorrow only begins when we recognize that today is already enough. This thought sets the emotional tone for the entire mix.
People spend so much time imagining the future.
One thing becomes clearer to me every year:
The future is only a story.
The only thing that truly exists is the moment we are in right now.
And whatever direction we move in, it always brings us back to the same place:
the here and now.
So for this Christmas, I just want to share a quiet moment with you.
A small reminder that the day tomorrow begins is simply the moment we realise that today is enough.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Solomun
Musically, Christmas in Bed 2025 sits firmly in Solomun’s introspective lane. The mix unfolds slowly, favoring warmth, restraint, and emotional continuity over dramatic peaks. Expect deep house foundations, subtle melodic progressions, and soft ambient passages that feel almost weightless. The pacing is deliberate—tracks blend seamlessly, creating the sense of a single extended piece rather than a sequence of songs. It’s music meant to be lived with for an hour, not skipped through.
As with previous editions, no official tracklist has been released for Christmas in Bed2025, and this is intentional. By removing titles and artists, Solomun shifts focus away from identification and toward feeling. Listener discussions online often revolve around “IDs,” but the mix resists dissection; it works best when approached as a complete emotional arc rather than a collection of individual tracks, it’s a listening experience, not a playlist with a tracklisting.
Christmas in Bed 2025 is like a surprise gift, the one you didn’t ask Santa for. It arrives without announcement, without strategy, and without the usual signals that demand attention. In a culture driven by visibility and velocity, Solomun offers something intentionally quiet—music that doesn’t ask to be consumed, but to be lived with.
From the Deep Tech Mag team, we must say: Solomon, thank you—for the music, for the pause, and for the gift 💚.
