Mind Expanders

.::: Dj Akasha Reports In :::.

I got the pleasure to play my very first VA I compiled called 'True Grit' at Dimension Festival 2023 in New Zealand. 

The first 45 mins is my VA, complimenting the next 45 mins with a progression of my favourite full on style tracks.

Enjoy. I will share the tracklist soon :)

A fun set to play! I enjoy the challenge of merging genres mainly because I want to hear the tracks I enjoy and that doesn't necessarily mean they are all from the same genre. Enjoy :)

Karacus Marakus New Zealand Teaser

Here's my current promo mix to start of 2017.  A few tracks i played recently at Infinite One New Year Festival 2017 in Golden Bay, New Zealand. I'm proud to be a sikh girl in the psychedelic scene and a DJ. So here's my mix filled with deep, dark and full power psychedelic sounds - just the way i like it (honestly some of melodies and sounds sound very Indian to me and takes me back to my culture's music - I hope to be producing soon.....all in good time perhaps. I hope you like it :) **** 
love Akasha

A little bit more to the dark psyde. Blast it out and enjoy!

As you keep listening, landing on to the next mix, you will find it gets better ;)

Recorded during a full moon, I am happy with this set especially because this was my first attempt in recording this set that day. I was in a really good flow and found only 1 or 2 mistakes but still decided to upload this set. It's all about flow I feel, and this set I felt it. The feelings were strong right from my soul. You can see this as a raw and live set almost. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did mixing these tracks :) I've gone into a slightly different psychedelic vibe, more elemental with some temperamental twisted dark sounds but sweet melodies. Enjoy :)

✧ Unlocking Layers ✧

DJ Akasha is the project of Akash Sandhu, based in the enchanting landscapes of New Zealand. Born and raised in Malaysia, she grew up surrounded by the rhythmic melodies and harmonious cadences of her family's music-loving heritage.

Akasha's fascination with electronic music began at the tender age of 12, and it was later in New Zealand that she stumbled upon the captivating realm of psychedelic sounds. Her first encounter with the Dimension crew's outdoor party left her spellbound and ignited her desire to take control of the decks.

Renowned for her signature style in Night Full On, Akasha's musical journey naturally gravitated towards the realms of Dark Psy and Forest, where she discovered her love for blending the genres and pushing sonic boundaries.

Having graced numerous stages across New Zealand, Akasha made her entrancing debut at prominent events such as Alien Nation (NZ), Dimension Festival (NZ), and Xmas Moon Mountain, Thailand in the eventful year of 2014. Not long after, she secured her inaugural headline performance and appearance in prestigious events such as Lunar Dreaming 2017, Progression Sessions 2018, and Planet Express 2019 all in Australia, and Bubble Festival 2018 in Malta. Notably, she warmed up the dance floor for Virtual Light at Esoteric Festival 2018.

In the midst of the roaring Covid pandemic in late 2020, Akasha unleashed her very first 10-track compilation titled 'True Grit' with signed label BMSS Records. The release features a lineup of esteemed artists, including Braincell, Martian Arts, Tron, Architekt, Lucid Mantra, Justin Chaos, U-Grid (Prohecht & Noise Gust), Entasis, Asimilon, Junky Monkey & Kundalini.

Akasha's natural inclination leads her to explore the darker realms of psytrance, gravitating towards captivating leads harmoniously fused with powerful bass lines. Each track she selects bears her unique touch, evoking open-mindedness and inviting listeners to embark on a euphoric journey of self-discovery.
