This six-hour marathon set was recorded on Memorial Day 2013 for a private gathering on the Black Rock Playa, home of the Burning Man festival. It was a beautiful evening where I felt completely in the flow—my head, mind, and heart integrated. The playa was vast and serene, illuminated by moonlight that made it feel like another planet. The sunrise transformed an already fantastic journey into a peak life experience. After a partial release, this is the first time I'm posting the entire six-hour newly mastered recording. It's a seamless deep dive into my collection of psychedelic house, trippy techno, hypnotic trance, and expansive progressive soundscapes. Enjoy the trip!

Black Rock Marathon Journey (full 6 hour set, 2013)

Matt Xavier presents an MDA & 2CB infused three-hour live mix of psychedelic house and trippy melodic techno recorded live for a psychedelic gathering at the Cuyama Badlands. A big shout-out goes to the late Alexander & Ann Shulgin for the many incredible compounds they discovered and shared with humanity throughout their amazing lives. 

This recording is dedicated to my best friend, Jill Sutherland, whose love, friendship, and wild party spirit continue to make life an even more fantastic experience. Happy Birthday, Jill!

ATARAXIA: a state of freedom & tranquility free from emotional disturbance and anxiety. I am honored and blessed to be alive during a time when unbelievably talented artists are creating some of the world's most incredible compositions. This two-hour journey delves into the more chilled out, mind-expanding, entheogenic, heart-opening realms of my music collection. Over the years, these songs have provided me with inspiration and healing. They have been the soundtrack for intimate moments such as hiking and meditating in nature, sunset bike rides on Venice Beach, relaxing in the sand and surf, and driving through the gorgeous mountain ranges of California. I truly hope these wonderful pieces of music offer you as much love and support as they have given me over the years. Thank you for listening. :)

Ataraxia: an afterhours journey for altered states

Label founder and manager Matt Xavier drops his second solo release for Railyard’s growing catalog. His first Railyard release made waves in Italy’s hypnotic techno community gaining massive support from Donato Dozzy’s crew of analog bandits. This release blends warm tech-house flavor with a dash of Balearic spice.

CHOICE THEORY is a mysterious chunk of sleazy house dripping wet from top to bottom. A slick bassline and snappin kick set the tone as jackin hi-hats sway heads with breakneck proportions. Crispy finger-snaps, oddly placed rattles and tightly rolled percussion support seductive vocal samples cascading through huge delays in proper rhythmic cycle.

SEEKING SUMANTRI hits heavy in feeling with a super smooth touch. Headsnappin hats, thick claps and Xavier’s trademark bassline-programming lay the foundation for this chunky house stormer. Warm Rhodes stabs, dark-twisting synths and trippy voice samples provide the fuel as this smokin hot slice of tech-house fusion melted summer dancefloors.
