: Philosophically, VR acts as a "sandbox" to experiment in safety. Markakis's production provides a similar auditory space—a structured, rhythmic environment where listeners can lose themselves, safely removed from the "dangers and emergencies" of the physical world.

At its core, the track serves as a sonic metaphor for the "oxymoron" of virtual reality—the attempt to simulate the visceral through the digital. Markakis, born in Greece and influenced by the deep house scene in Munich, blends jazz and soulful elements with electronic production. This juxtaposition reflects a central philosophical question: can a digital environment support a "full-blooded" human experience?.

The track’s title, "Virtual Reality," highlights the tension between using technology for escapism and using it to augment our perception.

: Some argue VR has the power to "unlock" human perception and empathy. In the same vein, soulful deep house aims to expand the listener's awareness, moving beyond simple auditory consumption toward a state of "presence" and "being".
