3:30pm, outdoors in a super gorgeous desert with a big view of snow capped mountains. I was under the impression that the following act was going to be a downtempo act, so I planned a set accordingly. Then during my set I found out that it wasn't going to be a chill out set after me, so I picked much of this on the fly.  

Here’s my Moontribe story and quite how much of an impact MT has had on my life, music, other collectives I’m involved with, sound systems, etc. Happy 30 year anniversary to the legendary moontribe family!

From ‘98 to about ‘09 I basically didn’t know anyone who played and made music like me… some styles of melodic/psychedelic/deep/adventurous and experimental music. Some people call it weird but to me it’s not weird. It’s home, adventure, expanding, ever-changing, creative and bliss. Before I found out about Moontribe, I basically planned on being a Northwest weirdo in my adventures with this sound.

I heard of the mystical, highly respected and “secret” Moontribe for years but didn’t ever get a chance to go…then found some MT mixes which became favorites as I related so much. Treavor Moontribe/Treavor Moontribe started releasing some of my music and asked me to come play a MT reunion.

It felt like I found my long lost soul family. MT has been one of my biggest inspirations for music, etc. because of the open minded musical perspective at the gatherings, feedback I get from Moontribers in person and online, playing certain tracks I make that only work at MT, sustainable event production, locations interacting with nature, the high potentials of happiness from community/security/health, sound system capability, I could go on and on… I can’t thank the MT family enough for the massive amount of happiness and inspiration it has spread to so many people!!! 🙏🏻
Here’s a video of my track “Cocoon Bliss” at 30 year reunion. It’s coming out on Treavor’s label Alien Breakdance.

A message from @yemanjo :

"Envision 2023 was an exquisite experience in every way.  It was truly an honor to open the spectacular Luna Stage with my original music, weaving a tapestry of electronic and acoustic elements in a global journey of melody and rhythm. The intention of my music is to break down borders—between cultures, between self and others, and within ourselves.
I can’t think of a better venue for my music than this incredible multi-cultural gathering of talented humans.
Thank you to all at Envision who made this possible!".

Yemanjo｜Live Set at Envision Festival 2023 | Luna Stage

Narcissus is a popular social media influencer, known for his captivating online persona and striking looks. He’s obsessed with maintaining his image on social platforms, often neglecting real-world relationships in favor of his virtual adoration. Echo, a software engineer and follower, falls deeply in love with the image Narcissus portrays online. She tries to connect with him through DMs and comments, but her attempts are largely ignored or met with minimal interest.

Echo confronts Narcissus in person on BART, only to be dismissed as he is more focused on live-streaming the event. Heartbroken, Echo retreats into a Vision Pro where she can interact with an idealized version of Narcissus. As Narcissus's obsession with his digital image intensifies, his real-world presence diminishes, leading to a decline in his online popularity and a loss of his personal identity.

A cautionary tale about the perils of social media obsession and the importance of genuine human connections.

On a hot sweaty night in a peach coloured temple, beautiful souls gathered to weave their dreams and dance deep. 

A juicy journey for delicious dancing featuring downtempo, trap, world grooves, ambient organic sounds and a sprinkle of cowgirl bootyswinging bass.

Enjoy your dance xo

This was such a beautiful experience for me to participate in.
Sending Gratitude to Jase and Amber for organizing and holding such sweet space~~~
The intention of this set is to help regulate our nervous system while reflecting on the past year. I encourage exploration through all the years teachings both that we want to collect and bring forth with us and the one's we want to release, making room for new growth.
Sending Love ripples our into the ethers~~~~~

Dance Wave

The first Moontribe Full Moon Gathering of 2024 was a night and day filled with beautiful people and magical delights! Thank you everyone who came out to dance and stir up dust under the eclipse and among the spring desert blooms -- and the pelicans! What a wonderful blessing it was to dance with them during their morning migration!
For your aural pleasure, here's three hours of psychedelic heart warming, booty shaking grooves played for the windy mid-day dancefloor booty shakers. It's always such an honor and pleasure to play music with our beloved desert family -- I am infinitely grateful for the experience each and every time. Thanks for listening, dancing and always bringing the best of vibes!

❤️ Live In Love ❤️

This mix came together in four days during my ovulation phase.

I woke up from a dream bursting with inspiration and I knew I had to channel the energy to create something potent

It's a journey through world bass, downtempo and psy sounds. 
It’s soft, dark, and cosmic all at once
Shakti awakening

Creating these sets is like meditation through music. It’s a hyper-focused way to capture a moment in time and express it artistically

DJing for me is now becoming a form of meditation
Focused intention with a flow state that fascinates me
Each time, I dive in deeper, gaining more insight to make the experience seamless
