Sweet Tooth was born out of a close collaboration between High Step Society and Free Creatures - two up and coming Oregon powerhouse groups. After a sold-out show at the legendary Applegate Lodge in S. Oregon, this team of creatives put their heads together in Marv & Emily’s living room to write the bulk of the song in one session. The result is a delicious combination of the two styles of these groups that tickles the taste buds and leaves the listener drooling for more.

This sweet-sounding piece is filled with smooth lyricism and uplifting soundscapes. Influences of jazz and electronic music blend perfectly to create something entirely new letting the story fully come to life.

High Step Society - Sweet Tooth

Originally on the album Prana Pulse, the Bluetech and Shaman’s Dream track Mother Water has been reimagined by dear friend and collaborator, Geometrae. 

Swooning in a soothing and dubby soundscape, this musical journey offers prayers and gratitude to the Great Mother and the life affirming nature of water.  Exploring the codes of healing and creation, this track is dedicated to my wife, Erina and our newborn son, Arna.

Right To Left

Manic Focus, K+Lab - Right To Left

I will never understand what it means to be a person of color, but I can do my best to empathize with the people who have lived under much marginalization and oppression due to their race. I want to recognize that I use samples and take inspiration from cultures all around the world to create my music. My genre is a blend of my own creativity and that of other musicians, particularly people of color, that have had a profound influence on music since the dawn of time. In particular, African people have shaped almost every genre of music known to man. I also take inspiration from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and many other cultures to create the music that I make.

Umoja is the swahili word for Unity—meaning to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. This song incorporates Mongolian throat sining and Senegalese vocals with trap 808s to create a really fun and high energy song. French is the Senegal national language, and there are over 30 languages spoken in Senegal. So, I chose the Swahili word Umoja for this song to declare that the music that I create is a symbol for unity across borders and across race. I never knew that throat singing and African singing could be so incredible together—and what an amazing world we live in where this is even a possibility.

All of my music, and this song in particular, is a tribute to people of color across the world who have given me the ability to use the incredible musical vocabulary and instruments from their cultures. I want to explicitly express my immense gratitude and appreciation for these people who have shared and given the rights to their music to use in my own creative process. 

I choose to use my undeniable privilege to do my best to make the world a better place for everyone around me regardless of their race or nationality. Everyday I look to see how I can be better for everyone around me and how I can serve the planet more. 

If you are a white musician I would encourage you to also recognize where your music comes from and the people that made it possible for you to create what you create. May we all continue to unify and to not let the powers that be tear us apart and make us villainize one another. With love, respect, and gratitude.

This is my remix for Spoken Bird's latest EP. This is being released on Chillage Records alongside remixes from Elevated Mind, Dubvirus and Soulular! Enjoy!

Pay What You Want

Spoken Bird - As Old As Time (Devin Kroes Remix)

tsou brings forward a crow-bar crunk, minimalistic yet bass heavy EP in the form of "tobedetermined". Hydraulic bounce coupled with glitchy synths give this EP electric yet threatening aura. 

On this EP we have SATURATE! Alumni heavy hitters Vistuh, Zaiaku, K A G E, Kneipe, Flesh Interface and Zain Wolf on remix duties. Essentially the brigade of the bass apocalypse.

As society begins to reckon with its undoing drawing near
Some will descend into madness, while others cower in fear. 

A few rise, their intentions remain uncertain. 
Whether they came to save or destroy, is "tobedetermined"

4. Moyen Thyme
(Written by Taylor Willis and Milo Hayden)

Another stellar example of how important having a writing buddy is. Moyen Thyme was orginally written in a hexagonal cabin in the woods of Deadwood, OR. The original song was a study in dub… but didn’t have any groove, or direction, and frankly lagged. In an effort to spice it up, I plugged Taylor through a series of insane dub effects while he played his guitar. Things kept on getting trippier… and while trying to figure out what to pair with the guitar, Jason Bailey came up. I knew Jason Bailey through his stellar stage management at What The Festival 2015, and Taylor knew Jason because he lived in Eugene before moving up to Portland. We gushed about his dulcimer playing and then we simultaneously decided that he *HAD* to play on Moyen Thyme. I got in touch with Jason, and he helped arrange a recording session at Sprout City Studios down in Eugene. Taylor remotely sent me his new arrangement of the track and it was a total banger. Jason was both the engineer for the session AND played the dulcimer. We had the help of two stellar interns Jasper and Raven… and the session finished ahead of time. With Jason’s playing the track suddenly had a life of it’s own, and is a testament to the having the right people in the right place at the right time. Moyen Thyme wouldn’t be possible without him. Thanks Jason!

Echoes Of Whiteaker

OUT NOW ON DESERT TRAX
https://deserttrax.bandcamp.com/album/saraswatis-twerkaba-remixes
:: Saraswati's Twerkaba Remixes from: 
1) CloZee + LuSiD
2) David Starfire
3) Nanosphere
4) Landswitcher
5) TRIBONE
6) Mindex
7) SoLow
8) Original DD mix

Desert Trax is thrilled to bring fans a star-studded remix pack for ”Saraswati's Twerkaba,” the smash lead track from Desert Dwellers' Clear Path compilation, which was originally released in 2016 by Sofa Beats. The exotically innovative original from Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe sees the Desert Dwellers blending their signature downtemple dub sounds with global club flavors. It was inspiration enough to draw in a wide range of remixers amped to take on the task.

French guitarist and glitch sensation CloZee joined forces with LuSiD for an earthy, percussive take. Southern California bass legend David Starfire leaned more into the clubby side of the yoga twerk track. Mindex and Landswitcher both went dark and dangerous on their respective remixes, pulling heavily from the subsonic sampling and fearlessly pushing the track into the cavernous abyss. Patiently building from mild murmur to full on twisted roar, Nanosphere stretches Saraswati into a psy opus. Israeli sensation TRIBONE stripped the cut down all the way to its primal, midtempo stomp, and there is no doubt his take will turn dance floors loose with its relentless pulse.

The “Saraswati's Twerkaba” remix pack features 8 tracks with 40+ minutes of music and is available July 17th on all major sites worldwide.
