Gradient Campout 2023 agraybé live

agraybé live @ New Palm July 2023

agni (fire) started with a two hour free-flow jam session where we rotated playing between hardware instruments, live looped our voices, and experimented with tabla and the güiro. our intention was to musically connect with ourselves and each other. after recording samples and larger sections of our jam, we rearranged what we recorded into chunks - an introduction, an iterative layering process for the middle portion, and an ending.

we thought of creating a story to guide our jam:

“we are asleep, deep in a dark green forest late at night, and are awoken by the sound of a drum that resembles a heartbeat. whispers and chants fill our ears, and the atmosphere around us turns into a dense mist. the wind whistles in a haunting way, but we never feel unsafe. a fiery energy fills our bellies drawing us towards the center of the forest, as frogs croak faintly nearby. smoke twirls around us as we approach a fire surrounded by unearthly creatures dancing to a rhythm. they entice us to move and embody the flame - to sustain this energy even if it ceases to exist around us.”

even though we’ve been enmeshed in music for years, the three of us are new to producing our own sounds, so this was a beautiful collective journey for all of us:) thank you to our dear friend and talented audio engineer, Judybelle Camangyan, for mastering the track.

❁ misty theory is a passion project of ahva, azize (@az1ze), ari (@agraybe) ❁

DJ Naygod's Soular Power continues to evolve with the intention of connecting themes surrounding collective healing through nature, science, and music - all of which I feel deeply connected to. 

Here is a Sunday morning mix of contemplative and soothing sounds made with the goal of remedying solastalgia I've been feeling. The word ‘solastalgia’ is a kind of homesickness one feels when their home has been altered and feels unfamiliar due to chronic environmental change. 

As our homes irrevocably change, the memory of what once was must live within us. In this mix, I dream of the livelihood of a healthy ecosystem, layering in feelings of nostalgia, yearning, and reflection through lyricism, jazz elements, and dubby atmospheres.

Soular Power: agraybé live on March 3, 2024

Acid Camp is excited to announce a new compilation album. The album celebrates the label’s 10 year anniversary with 35 artists—of which 25 are releasing with the label for the very first time.

As the largest release in the record label’s history, Acid Camp: 10 Year Anniversary Compilation dramatically expands upon Acid Camp All Stars Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (both 2018) with more than triple the number of featured artists. Ten return to the label, including Eric Cloutier and Jeremiah Chiu, while Abby Echiverri, Bézier, Force Placement, and 32 more celebrate their first track with Acid Camp.

From Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Berlin to Tokyo, the artists represent the breadth of the underground and independent music scenes of the 2020s and underscore the collective strength of Acid Camp’s community since 2013. The release spans dancefloor-forward acid house and techno to ambient, downtempo, and funk selections. Lyrics are cut and collaged; synths are squelched; grooves are grooved.

100% of the album's profits will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), founded over 30 years ago in 1991. PCRF is the leading nonprofit organization providing medical care and diverse humanitarian assistance to countless children in the Middle East.

Agraybé - Crepuscular Ray

90s and 00s downtempo, in our opinion over at Moods HQ, informed an entire generation of artists’ tastes and directions. It’s well understood by musician and DJ @agraybe, and for our next mix, she explores the depth of the oft undersung genre. Remember the feeling of inserting that mixtape in your siblings’ sedan; watch the trees blur by; see the rain yield to sunshine.

this installment features our dear friend, ariana gray bé (@agraybe) 💜

we invited her not only because she's a master selector, but also because we've also spent many nights cooking together, lamenting over environmental racism and reimagining a more sustainable life. ari had a hand in both auditory and gustatory portions of this installment, during which we had a grand time putting our heads together to make magic. thank you ari!

please enjoy her contemplations & delve into au(o)ral pleasure~

.:::

this mix is the sensorial result of the following:

“stone, soil, passion, symbiosis”

imagine what earth’s subsurface might sound like.

sink under ground with me for this mix.
engulf in soil, slithering insects, rocks and debris.
weave through tangling roots, cross through strata.

imagine now the work of humans in here.
pipes bisect an intricate network of roots.
soil replaced with concrete. ecosystems expunged.

the word, symbiosis, brings up pessimism in this context.

drilling, uprooting. depleting, consuming.
devouring more and more.

humankind (as it exists today) is earth’s parasite.

can humanity remedy it's relationship with earth before deeply disturbing everything in it’s path?

aural pleasure 03 ..:: agraybé ::..

For the eleventh installment of New Palm’s semi-seasonal mix series, we gladly welcome back our resident agraybé with a distinctly memorable live recording from our collaborative Gradient Campout in the high desert with our homies eternal, PrintShop

Ariana has consistently proven to step up to every occasion exceedingly well, meeting the moment with an astute sense for what needs to happen next. We’ve loved hearing her define and diversify this ability further over the years, showing equal mastery over the moments of holding back, and the moments of letting it rip.

This time it was the latter, playing to the desert moonrise at the ramp up hours of a marathon  weekend, Ariana lit the fire so it’d burn all night. We loved every second of her psychedelically gripping lunar joyride, and we’re thrilled to share it here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do 🌑

(0:00 - 0:31)

Ice thaws, sun’s warm glow
Creatures stir as water flows
Spring blooms, life feels whole.

(0:32 - 1:04)

Once green, now ablaze
Bugs hum in thick Summer haze
Finally, evening.

(1:05 - 1:36)

Light fades, dark awaits
Fiery hues swirl and sway
Dancing in decay.

(1:37 - 2:06)

Winter’s bitter breath
Arrives later and later
Earth’s rhythm: off beat.

"Sexy deep grooves and romantic chords that pull at my heart strings. Lyrics that empower and inspire hope. The sensation of my body in flow and the collective joy felt with those around me. These are some of my favorite things about house. Listen within for an hour+ of smooth selections of old and new house from Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, and beyond 💜 " - agraybé

agraybé seeks to share what invigorates her soul and senses. Her perspective draws from multiple facets as a musician, scientist, dancer, and environmentalist.
