Gabriel Le Mar is no stranger to to the #LSDFamily as part of Saafi Brothers, but he is legendary when it comes to his solo project. 
’Into Sonic States’ was produced entirely during global isolation while the earth was at a standstill for us all. The chance to bring new ideas and energy into the studio from travels, live performances and sharing special moments with our global music family was replaced with solitude and much one on one time in the studio. 

Gabriel Le Mar took this time to reach deep within for inspiration by reintroducing himself to his inner dialogue with music & sound, the result is something rather spectacular.
The tracks range from deep and hypnotic down/midtempo dub driven tracks to uplifting and smoothly flowing progressive chill out grooves with depth, while merging elements of hand played instruments such as guitar together with organic electronics.

Step into Sonic States and enjoy this aural journey.

“The world that you see outside you is a state of your own nervous system. In other words, it is because you have senses and a nervous organization of a certain particular structure, that the sky is blue, the sun is light, and vibrations in the air are sound. You turn them into color, light, sound, etc.” – Alan Watts

Alan Watts: Our Place In The Universe – Being in the Way Podcast Ep. 4 – Hosted by Mark Watts

soundcloud.com/shankaranewzealand follow up “Dawn Chorus” with “System Echoes”, a looser and more varied selection of tracks that temper their wide musical influences to their natural surroundings.

The general idea behind the EP was to organically capture some of the vibes that have inspired the duo over the years – growing up in the Christchurch area (AKA the bass capital of New Zealand) meant that jungle, drum & bass, halftime and dub sound-tracked their nights out.

“Cicada” finds them condensing a 20 minute live jam with Finn Kelscher on a hot summers day into a pulsating, dub drenched groove. Elsewhere, “After Thought” rolls through dancehall and downtempo en route to a junglistic finale, a vibe teased at on the triumphant one-take “Cycle”. As the name suggests, “Deep Fried Shankara” is what happens when the duo dipped into Deep Fried Dub’s Melbourne studio, while the epic “Run Away” naturally morphed from its dancehall origins to a drum and bass belter, courtesy of some heavy basslines and layers of live dubbed out guitar.

As with “Dawn Chorus”, field recordings made in the dense rainforests of the west coast are weaved into the tunes, accentuating the life-affirming positive vibes at the heart of the EP.

Emog - Paradox (Strange Substance Remix)

A personal exploration, based on surrealism 

-Explorimental Genres - 

In appreciation of the smallest detail. 
With this album, Badub brings the honey into your ear. Bees have collected different kinds of nectar from various places back from your childhood. They don’t care what flavor it is - all goes into one big blob, which goes into the melting pot. As a result, the music can taste like any direction. It’s a nice place, where everything flows into everything else – just like honey does – even the song structure. It’s just a beautiful mess. Hopefully this ends peacefully. 
Which places does this album take YOU? 

-- About Badub --

The multi-musician that seems to have appeared from a distant fantasy world rather than from northern Germany, will always look for a way to release your inner child. Among his listeners, Badub is known for a diverse mix of genres. As he says, the boundaries of genres could be inflicted with his creativity. And so he abandoned the idea of any rules that might be given to music. With his brave curiosity, Badub will aspire towards new horizons in the name of harmony. This music is not short of musicality though. Badub's Fantasy Jazz seems to organically float into one's ears, touching spots you might have long forgotten about. Cheerful, with a spark of amazedness are we listening to the kind-hearted melodies. Recording Guitar, Bass and Keys, using samples and synths, the sound magician from Hamburg (we will believe he is, for now) creates songs which provoke phantastic memories, forgotten adventures and driving curiosity within us. 

Recognized as a milestone in music history, Badub was present at the burning mountain festival (Switzerland), about 8 years ago, where he had the sudden opportunity to perform live. "I've played songs from my phone onto the function 1, and everybody thought i'm a real DJ." is what he says when he speaks out about the glorious first days of his vivid live career.
