Mostly Techno || @desmog_

Desmog is a Charleston-based DJ whose style is centered around driving rhythmic elements and a raw, congruent, energy. Drawing on influences ranging from hardgroove to hypnotic, and acid to industrial, he strives to create unity on the floor through a shared presence in the moment.

Desmog’s musical upbringing wove together 60’s garage rock, classic dance, and 2010’s electronica. As an early teen, older cousins sparked his affinity for high-impact dance music during his trips to visit family in Portugal. Over time, that spark evolved into a passion for techno in its most honest form.

Desmog’s selections are eclectic yet cohesive. His approach is informed by instinct and intertia. With a deep reverence for the craft and love for the underground, Desmog aims to carve out space for new sounds in his city.

Music has the ability to powerfully shift our state of mind. Meditation is not that different. Meditation lowers the stress hormone cortisol, helps us sleep better, and rewires the brain with a host of positive emotional qualities. The goal of both music and meditation is to create a powerful and positive shift in our mental state. Music is a reliable source of transformational experience for many, and we are attracted to music for the same reasons that meditators meditate. Music and meditation both allow a fuller and richer experience of our emotions: They stop our incessant and often negative mental chatter and offer us an opportunity to inhabit the present moment more fully and meaningfully. These are all important for good health and happiness in human beings.
