The stage name "S3RL" was based on a nickname his cousins gave him when he was little, which derived from his cousins calling him "arsehole". To avoid profanity, they began saying "arserl", and according to S3RL, the word stuck and became his stage name.
One of S3RL's most popular tracks is "Pretty Rave Girl" (2006), which uses the melody from "Daddy DJ" (November 1999) by the French dance act of the same name. S3RL has contributed tracks for several UK hardcore compilation series, including the Bonkers series.
Many of his songs reference different aspects of Japanese pop culture, such as anime, manga, hentai, and video games. In 2011, he founded his own record label, EMFA Music, through which all of his works are released. In May 2012, the label released "Press Play Walk Away[/track" as a single by S3RL and SynthWulf, a fellow hardcore DJ.
As of February 2015, S3RL was ranked 1798 on the "Official Global DJ Rankings" page djrankings.org, which bases its rankings on a number of factors include chart rankings, DJ fees and radio airplay. During mid-2015, his single "Genre Police" (featuring Lexi), which had been issued in Australia in November the previous year, peaked at #10 on the Norwegian singles chart.
In early 2018, S3RL announced that his 2018 tour would be his last, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. Though he advertised it as being his final shows, he clarified that he might be willing to return to the stage after at least two years: "After 2018 I will not do any shows for at least a couple of years, then re-assess the situation to do the occasional show here and there.... For example, if I was booked for a show in 2020 that I could bring my family along to I would consider it, but during the two years off I will not be doing any shows at home or away." He also stated that his music production would be unaffected.
In February 2020, S3RL decides to hire contract partners to help him make his new music videos. He notably recruits Aurélien Dacher, a French beatmaker, and they have since created: You Are Mine, Nasty, Dopamine, Wanna Fight Huh, The Bass & The Melody, and S3RL Absolutely Presents.
In May 2021, S3RL announced his new label, M4 Music, with the release of "Dance More (Atef Remix)" on 14 May 2021.

And when this is over
I will found my new BFF
game on, bitches!
Molly is a friend of mine
She's so pure. She is devine
Just don't let her get too cut
When she's cut she is no fun

Lucy is my travel friend
We go on trips to Neverland
Gone for days at a time
Having the time of our lives

We party, party every night
Hard and fast. Then she's gone
She never lasts very long

Mary Jane My old friend still
We just like to hang and chill
Take a break, relax and eat
Then laugh and laugh till we can't breath

“She’s so pure, she is divine. Just don’t let her get too cut. When she is cut, she is no fun.”
I just got it
@josie9804
can you explain
@idiomasentusiasticos7954
@@josie9804 This song is about drugs. Each girl has a drug name. Molly is code name for MDMA. When “Molly” or MDMA is pure, it’s great. But when any drug gets ‘watered down’ with other substances that don’t give you a high it kinda sucks. It could also be referencing mixing of drugs which causes a cross faded high which could cause accidental overdose or an awful high.
