I loooooove this track! Would you be willing to share the name/artist?

This blending is so magical!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Might just be the most involved dancefloor journey to have emerged from the @apukuna sound! What a magical evening. There was barely a moment where 4 decks weren't all flowing at once and it was a true highlight to introduce Richie Hawtin's Plastikman to the medicine icaros of Shipibo maestros and Ape Chimba!!! Plastikman's Kriket (1994) was a formative sound for me and this live remix helps tell some of that story of my journey since then. Holding the Dance Wave together was my first live collaboration with Blutopia (@blutopian) who brought his synths, flute and guitar to help open and close the journey and fill the interludes. To all of you on the dancefloor... BIG LOVE for joining me on the journey! Offered to you as a meditation, a movement, and a prayer for an awakening heart. 💓

THIS MIX IS DEDICATED TO THE 4th ANNIVERSARY OF THE 'SHARING THE VIBE' GLOBAL COMMUNITY 🙌

Recorded: Nelson, Canada, January 2024

WHAT IS "APUKUNA"? (artist statement)

"Apukuna" is a Quechua word meaning 'mountain spirits'. Following an apprenticeship into Andean cosmology, I chose the name to honor the people, the wisdom, and to invite deeper appreciation for their sacred relationship to land, mountains and the unseen. This relationship is available to all of us who walk this earth and is where much of my musical inspiration emerges."
