Last Gentleman On Playa drops a mystical organic house release on his record label, It’s Good To Be A Tree, and it also includes remixes by Dr Parnassus, MiRET, and Kermesse.

Known for his trippy style, which combines immersive atmosphere with tribal drums, Last Gentleman On Playa is heavily inspired by his experiences at Burning Man. Most of Last Gentleman On Playa's music has been released through his own record label, but he has also featured on other imprints including Cosmic Awakenings.

On remix duty, Kermesse and Dr Parnassus have both previously featured on It's Good To Be A Tree, but MiRET is featuring on the imprint for the first time.

Kermesse in an Argentinian artist known for his mix of psychedelic vocals, quirky rhythms and majestic melodies. He has released music through record labels such as Kamai Music, The Magic Movement, and Lump Records.

Dr Parnassus is a shamanic producer from Bali, whose tracks are a concoction of shimmering synths and Middle-Eastern melodies sequenced into melodic grooves. He has featured on record labels ranging from Sol Selectas to Underyourskin Records.

Based in Spain, MiRET is making his first appearance on It's Good To Be A Tree, following regular releases on his own imprint [MuMa]. He has also featured his chugging downtempo style on respected outlets such as Bar 25, 3000 Grad, and Sounds of Sirin.

"Khor Lo" is first of the original tracks, and it's a tense instrumental track with swelling pads and intricate melodies, creating spine-tingling suspense.

"Upaya" is a downtempo track with a low-slung bassline, which underpins the call-and-response of muffled guitar chords and fluttering acid synths, while sparkling percussion adds to the enchanting vibe.

Dr Parnassus' remix of "Upaya" removes the acid melody, drawing focus to deep pads that create a more melodic version, which is both majestic and uplifting.

"Juzu" is the third of the originals, and it layers live percussion with an array of trippy samples to create a compelling groove that unfolds with the help of plucked guitar chords.

Kermesse also remixes "Juzu," and add one of their characteristic funky basslines, while warping the sound of the guitar to create a distinctly unique version.

MiRET's remix of "Juzu" makes good use of the original's guitar, but strips back the percussion to create an atmospheric groove with pulsating pads and plodding bass chords.

From there start buying the first vinyl records, but not having the console, is forced to go almost every day to the local level, in the closing hours, in order to understand what it meant to "pass a record." Its kind can be seen already from the first securities purchased: Work of MAW ... note well articulated with that tinge of tribal ... all accompanied by a voice almost blues ... In Christmas next comes the first console, two turntables Gemini belt drive and a two-channel mixer; Nothing special but good to start. A little later began to express themselves in their own preserata to "Bagdad Café" playing Tribal-House.
