This album is a gift we made to the waters: oceans, glaciers, rivers, lakes, springs, wells. And also the internal water which constitutes the human body. Water has been proved to be a living being not just a chemical element. It keeps the memories and make them flow, it carves rocks, it registers emotions and waves, both visible and invisible. 
When I started to work on this project I was really keen on mantra music. I used to practice Kundalini Yoga and noticed that singing mantras had an immediate and clear effect on my emotional body. Furthermore I could learn the sanscrit verses quite quickly and felt like I deeply grabbed the meaning. I always wanted to interprete some of these mantras in my personal sound key. The occasion materialized when I got a proposal from an interesting organization based in Spain, working on sound preservation of the oceans. They sent me some stunning field recordings of whales, dolphins, breaking ice of the pole (which you can hear spread here and there in the tracks) and asked to compose a track. Later they commissioned a whole audiovisual performance. It was at this point that I decided to combine my passion for mantras with the idea of celebrate the water world. The performance was designed together with visionary artist Maria Torres. Its basic concept was that of a ritualistic performance in which through the power of chanting, sound, thematic visuals we could charge drinkable water, put on stage or in the audience, to transform it in a magical fluid capable of removing obstacles and purify all waters on the planet. So Aqua Mantra was born, our little gift to acquatic  ecosystems that are demanding human awareness to be rescued. 
The intent of this recording is to be used as a meditation, therefore we recommend to listen to it by respecting the sequence and to start and finish it with the opening and closing mantras. 
A special thanks go to the legendary painter Anna Paparatti for letting me use one of her beautiful unreleased mandala as artwork.
Adi Shakti and Durga Mantra were included in the soundtrack of “La Pitturessa”, a film documentary dedicated to Anna Paparatti by her daughter Fabiana Sargentini. 

May our prayers be creative and joyful, may our prayers be heard.

‘Crude Principles’ was recorded last month by Mr. Isopoulos over in Athens - ‘A mixtape inspired by friends, Venice and the deep bush’. 

We met Panagiotis last year while over playing a super special show in an old factory in Pireaus. The gig featured live oud, a modular synth performance and a solo percussion show using nothing but old materials from the factory by Christos Chondropoulos, who you might know from our Athenian Primitivism album. After the performances Fergus DJ’ed followed by Boomkat’s own Conor Thomas late into the night. Great times.

The weekend took a special turn after Panagiotis drove Tako, Terra Exotica and I out to a particularly Lynchian town called Marathonas. Many drinks were shared at a slightly time-forgotten beach bar and then at the even more Lynchian ‘Roadhouse’. The drive there and back was soundtracked by some super old burned CD’s Panagiotis had which took us all back to those 2010-2015 golden years, hearing some tracks for the first time in forever.

This mix features tons of crazy industrial, oddball futuristic library and global folk traditions and was one of the coolest things we heard recently so we wanted to share it too. Check Panagiotis on soundcloud here >>

Music to make your body move de droite à gauche. Et la tête aussi un peu. Toutes sortes de sauces relevées. Des qui piquent aussi. From Kingston to London en ce moment. Beauregard à la base. Avec des frites dedans. Et un peu de Cenovis.
