He's always done it his way. On his own terms. Whether it was playing in heavy metal acts or brass bands, it didn't matter. Random Rab has always held his banner high. And on October 9th, when Release is... well... released, the electronic music industry will once again give the man his due and admit, "yup, there's only one Random Rab."

Today, we're thrilled to bring you the title track from the new album. The term "downtempo" belies the majesty, the utter mystical energy of a Rab tune. There's power and poise, subtlety and grace. The sheer intensity of a hypnotizing groove and his cool, crisp vocals carry more force than a thousand blaring subs rattling out the hardest bass grooves. The charts and charts of electronic dance singles can't measure up to the unfathomably deep intention this type of tune evokes. There's just nothing like a new Rab tune. This one is going to be on repeat.

Enjoy this download for free for ONE WEEK only. Bay Area fans, you're going to be lucky enough to catch Rab tomorrow (Oct 3) at 1015 Folsom with his percussionist Cedar and many more special guests as part of the live band, including one Mr. Android Jones generating live visuals. He'll be on tour with Random Rab for special dates this month, hitting Sonic Blossom in Denver, and The Manifestation Celebration in Austin, TX. Stay tuned for a HUGE special contest announcement tomorrow!

Random Rab - Release [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

Angel Aura

OUT NOW: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/templestepprojectandhangmassive/warmth-of-the-suns-rays-bass-love-remix


When I first heard this piece by Hang Massive I instantly heard subtle trap grooves flowing in and around their beautiful Hand Pan melodies. This was mid-winter 2021 Melbourne lockdown. In my morning mycelium walks, the sun kisses my skin and blesses me with its warmth.

Music bloomed hope in me for the Sun's Rays to once again shine on humanity as it passed through its darkest passage of the pandemic. And so it seems fitting now as we move on beyond the most challenging parts of the pandemic, for this sunlight to shine for you with its release.

Warmth of the Suns Rays (Bass Love Remix)

~❤~L☮VEॐBeautyॐCreativity~❤~

Beneath the glow of invisible tides, shapes float in slow motion, tracing paths through lunar oceans and silent pools of light. Currents pulse with the breath of distant nebulae, plowing through the veins of an endless sky. In hidden harbors, time coils upon itself, whispering of endless origins. A spiral unfolds, casting its radiance into infinity, where each color carries the memory of all that has been.

Nebula’s Pulse

Arriba

In early 2017, Amani Friend re-envisioned selections from his rich Liquid Bloom catalog to deliver new downtempo compositions into a contemporary electronic space. Subsequent to that Re.Generations release, Canadian producer ATYYA selected seven of the album's tracks to put his own spin on them.

Crafting whole new worlds around Liquid Bloom collaborators Poranguí, Deya Dova, Ixchel Prisma, Numatik, Rara Avis, and more, Tyy Clark generously imbues his signature tribal tonic into these works, for a mysterious and pulsing fresh spin on these re-imaginings -- one that balances the lightness of Amani Friend's remixes with an intriguing, contrasting darkness.

Never before have Black Swan and Desert Trax released an entire remix pack by one artist taking on another. This is truly a look behind the curtain at two innovative and truly groundbreaking artists.

Liquid Bloom - Resonant Migration Feat. Deya Dova (ReGen ATYYA Remix)

I used the charango from Porangui's Illuminar and put the Stratusphere vibes to it. Blessed to have been asked to be a part of this amazing remix album that is available on Desert Trax! Dream come true!

Porangui - Illuminar (Stratusphere Remix)

Ayahuasca Remixed is sonic alchemy from Brazilian-born artist Poranguí, translated through the lenses of visionary producers and DJs and born from a prayer to bridge worlds from the consciousness of the master plant medicine onto the dance floor. 

It came to life through a meeting and friendship with musician and producer Sahuna Love (aka Shamans Dream) and blossomed with the help of Amani Friend of Desert Dwellers / Desert Trax / Liquid Bloom. 

Each song weaves the medicine of the original, while beckoning listeners to explore and express their prayers or meditations through embodied movement. 

Allow yourself to be moved ~ para el bien de todos.

Sueños De La Selva (AtYyA Remix)

The chorus of this song is sung by Tzutu Kan (a balam ajpu member), one of the teachers at Solar Sound, who is an indigenous Tz’utujil Mayan hip hop artist from Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. In the song, he is saying the names of all the indigenous tribes of Costa Rica, to call them in, honor them, thank them, and connect with them:

Tzutu’s Verse: Chorotegas Cabécares, Bribris, Ngäbe, Térrabas, Borucas, Huetares, Malekus, Kin siq'ij li a b'i iwonojel.

We have decided that all funds raised from the sales of this song will go to Tzutu’s non-profit organization which teaches music, art, and language revitalization to indigenous Mayan children in his homeland.  


A note on the School of Mayan Hip Hop:
“Within the “Caza Ajaw.” School, elements of Hip Hop are reconfigured to create
alignment between Hip-Hop culture and Mayan culture. Caza Ajaw teaches Hip-Hop as
having three elements (Rap, Painting and Music) corresponding to the three stones
traditionally used to make a hearth (or xkub’) in Mayan culture. The use of the xkub’
hearthstones recontextualizes the elements of Hip-Hop from a specifically Maya
perspective. The songs taught in the school reflect the goals of language revitalization within the Maya Movement – encouraging children to use the language among themselves, the use of
Mayan languages in new domains, and an emphasis on the connection between language
use and cultural knowledge.”

So much love and stoke went into the making of this song and this video!
