Serpentine Studies

'The Vision' is a downtempo, bassy dance track featuring lush vocals, ethnic percussion and layers of melodic lines on handpan and erhu. 

The idea for this track began as a chapter in the storyline of psychic evolution; the experience of simultaneously perceiving, receiving and creating a vision unique to our individual journey through life.  It is a song about trusting the process, enjoying the journey, and remembering that when we move from our hearts' desires over our egos', we allow the most supportive path to unfold.

Arula & Kompass - The Vision

Presenting a new two track EP from the Moroccan duo of @shentilife, a.k.a. Fatima Louna and Moon; Mehi Yahore is a prayer to heavens for light beings to come and answer the call of Gaia. The call that brings in new souls for the new earth. This EP is inspired by the arrival of their baby boy Elie.

:  :  :  : : : : :::: It has been already 3 years of ISU TAKI :::: : : : :  :  :  :

3 years of sharing the best Latin American underground dance music✨.
Three years honouring a hyper-diverse nature and culture.
Three years of comun-unidad.
Three years of freedom to share and express yourself.

And to continue the celebrations we invited a couple of our current and past resident DJs to share the very best of their selektions

The very first of this mini-series is @tr3intamil, ISU TAKI co-founder
He curated a dembowish set that will for sure make you dance
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, I actually HAD to listen to it again right after the first play. It was just too good!

ISU TAKI Mixtape 011 - 3 Years Anniversary mini-series Episode 1 - DJ tr3inta.MIL [Chile]

We gathered for 6 days to Dance our Medicine next to a powerful river in the coast of Costa Rica put on by CoCrea Dance Community. Thirty people igniting somatic alchemy together in a deep somatic healing journey.

I created a set for the final dance that composes an array of different rhythms and flavors to stimulate dance in an exploratory, sensuous and curious way. 

From feeling deeply within, to an explosion of celebratory power within one journey, down to the deep expression within relationship in partner dance, group dance... ending in a large puddle of a human mandala all together co-regulating our bodies, minds and spirits.

The last song is our latest release, 'Cacaocito' by yours truly and @lucianamusic
