Eptic Announces Indefinite Hiatus from Touring

Belgian bass music producer Eptic has announced an indefinite hiatus from touring, citing the need to focus on his mental and physical well-being. Known for his high-energy performances and tracks like “The End” and “Violence,” Eptic’s decision reflects a growing awareness within the electronic music community about the toll of constant touring.

In a heartfelt statement on social media, Eptic expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support but emphasized the necessity of stepping back to prioritize his health. He acknowledged the challenges of maintaining a rigorous tour schedule and the impact it has had on his personal life, stating, “I’ve come to realize that to continue creating and sharing music with you all, I need to take this time to recharge and focus on myself.”

Many have applauded Eptic’s courage in addressing mental health openly, highlighting the importance of self-care in an industry often characterized by relentless demands. This move aligns with a broader trend in the music industry, where artists prioritize well-being over the pressures of constant performance.

Eptic’s hiatus also brings attention to the broader conversation about the sustainability of touring in the electronic music scene. The physical and mental strain associated with back-to-back performances, travel, and the expectations of maintaining a public persona can lead to burnout and other health issues. By taking a step back, Eptic joins a growing list of artists advocating for a more balanced approach to career and health.
