Daksinamurti DJ sets

Daksinamurti 

In the past 2 years I have spent quite some time to learn my production and work on my debut album, which is nearly completed and is coming this year on Sangoma Records. The tracks contains solo tracks as well as collaborations I did with friends like Ingrained Instincts, Babagoon, Konebu, Doom’s, Cosinus, Yebah, Lemurians, Yabba Dabba and Purist. This journey starts from groovy psychedelia to more foresty realms and landscapes with a strong focus to the dancefloor.
Many of these tunes I could not play for any dancefloors due to the pandemic. Big thanks for Maleficarum and many others for the constant support, especially in times like this. 
Like an old Chinese proverb says: Illness is the doorway to health, tragedy turns to comedy and disasters may turn out to be blessings.
Looking forward to the day we are all united again on the dancefloor. So long stay happy, healthy and creative.

Daksinamurti is a psychedelic trance artist, ethnologist, label manager and producer from Marburg, Germany. Together with his friend Emiel he founded and runs the label Sangoma Records.
Till has been performing at events and festivals worldwide since the year 2000.
Upon discovering Goatrance on the beaches of India in the early 90’s, Daksinamurti developed a diverse and insatiable thirst for studying the effects of psychedelic music on the body and mind. Combined with his passion of anthropology, his journey in music has been distinguished by his desire to discover and the depths of psychoacoustic application in music. Far from predictable, his sound can be described as Sangomesque music - a forest friendly trance inducing experience with a range that covers the entire spectrum of light onto dark. 
Till enjoys playing extended sets far from predictability and stereotypes in order to create a colorful, energetic journey suitable for dance floors at any hour of the party. 

During the years Till has built a reputation within the international scene; sharing his musical visions and vibes in over 40 countries and festivals like
Boom (Portugal), Ozora Festival (Hungary), Modem (Croatia), Universo Paralello (Brazil), Psy-Fi (Netherlands), Hadra Trance Festival (France), Alien Safari (South Africa), Antaris (Germany), Shankra (Switzerland), VooV (Germany), Fusion (Germany), Lost Theory (Spain), Kosmos Festival (Finland) and many others.

Since 2018 he is working on his own production and was formerly involved in the project Android Spirit which had 2 EPs and an Album on Timecode Records.

Daksinamurti’s love for diversity, mystical themes and shamanism are also reflected in multiple compilation releases he worked on - always evolving his perspective of contemporary psychedelic music and culture.

Exclusive Podcast #047 | with DAKSINAMURTI (Sangoma Records)

Creating Sacred Space 
This first part of a multi hour set comes in a forest friendly daytime outfit, a good dose of groove transitioning into more uplifting hypnotic soundscapes and beyond. This contemporary tale wants to give back a little bit of magic to our modern civilization, which in many ways works on fear - leaving one with the impression that the world is an unsafe, hostile place. To be healthy, man has to experience the setting we are designed for: nature. 
Since the early days of mankind and in many shamanic rituals, sacred space is created by invocating the spirits of the four cardinal directions - South, West, North, and East - as well as the sky (father) and earth (mother). These share the basic concept that all of life is inter-related and inter-dependent and everyone within protected. Also sacred architecture, like temples and places of worship, function in a similar way - making "transparent the boundary between matter and mind, flesh and the spirit." It is the invitation to retreat deep into the wilderness, sacrificing modern comforts for the benefits of greater autonomy and freedom, proclaiming new (old) forms of communal space for gathering and participation. By opening sacred space we leave behind profane affairs of ordinary life and allow us to enter our inner worlds. Unfortunately, laws and regulations as well as commercial interests often contradict and sabotage these needs making it a highly political affair to create new and sustain the last existing spaces. Creating sacred space by providing a place for dance, laughter and worship, could be the remedy of our time and carries the ability to repair, harmonize and even bring around healing.

Mount Kailash is a mountain located in Tibet and is a sacred pilgrimage site in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
Its shape is like the pyramids in Egypt with four nearly symmetrical sides with a glistening snow-covered top. Hindus believe Mt. Kailash to be the abode of Lord Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance and illusion, resides at the summit of this legendary mountain, where he sits in a state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Parvati.
Bonpos believe the sacred mountain to be the place where the founder of the Bön religion landed when he descended from the sky. The Bon a religion that predates Buddhism in Tibet, maintain that the entire mystical region and the nine-story Swastika Mountain are the seat of all spiritual power. Followers of Bon, Tibet's pre-Buddhist, shamanistic religion call the mountain Tise and believe it to be the seat of the Sky Goddess Sipaimen.
Vedas mentioned Mount Kailash as cosmic axis and world pillar, center of the world, and world tree. It is also considered to be the mysterious mount mera Meru - the world center between Heaven and Earth, a point of connection between sky and earth where the four cardinal directions meet.

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation who arose out of sea foam on the coast of Cyprus. Therefore she is also known under the name Cypris, her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus and she is also identified with the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor. Myrtle, doves, sparrows, horses, and swans were said to be sacred to her. 
Her father Zeus fears that because of Aphrodite's beauty other gods will become rivals to possess her. Therefore he marries her off to the god of smithing Hephaestus, who is overjoyed to be married to the goddess of beauty. He manifactures her stunning jewelry that make her even more irresistible to others.
As one of the Twelve Olympians of the Greek pantheon and thus a major deity, worship of Aphrodite, (or Aphrodíti), as a living goddess is one of the more prominent devotionals in Hellenismos (Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism)the revival of ancient Greek religious practices in the present day.
This set is a recording from a nice outdoor party by Sound Elements Productions near Nikosia in April 2016 where i played a set into sunrise.

DAKSINAMURTI & BUZZ - Live @ O.Z.O.R.A. 2016 Main Stage

Long ago all the elements were mixed together with one germ of life. This germ began to mix things around and around until the heavier part sank and the lighter part rose. A muddy sea that covered the entire earth was created. From this ocean grew a green shoot. It grew and grew until it reached the clouds and there it was transformed into a god. Soon this god grew lonely and it began to create other gods. The last two gods it made, Izanagi and Izanami, were the most remarkable. One day they looked down on the ocean and wondered what was beneath it. Izanagi thrust his stick into the waters and as he pulled it back up some clumps of mud fell back into the sea. They began to harden and grow until they became the islands of Japan.

Kami or shin is defined in English as "god", "spirit", "spiritual essence" and refers to the divinity, or sacred essence, that manifests in multiple forms. Rocks, trees, rivers, animals, places, and even people can be said to possess the nature of kami. Kami and people exist within the same world and share its interrelated complexity. Kami refers particularly to the power of phenomena that inspire a sense of wonder and awe in the beholder (the sacred), testifying to the divinity of such a phenomenon. 
There are natural places considered to have an unusually sacred spirit about them, and are objects of worship. They are frequently mountains, trees, unusual rocks, rivers, waterfalls, and other natural things. In most cases they are on or near a shrine grounds. It is a sacred space, creating a separation from the "ordinary" world.


This mix was recorded in November 2016 at Jaai club in Osaka during a Sangoma party organized by my friend Eiichi (Dj BuzZ). It resembles the raw and crazy dancefloor energy in the rather small but packed club of a memorable night. My love and gratitude to the vibrant Japanese scene which for sure know how to party and spread good vibes and are an enrichment for every festival! Arigato  

The setlist contains tunes by artists such as Gaspard, Purist , Module Virus, Virtual light, Illegal Machines, Diksha, Elf De La Nooi, Once Upon A Time, Samadhi, Kala, Synthetik Chaos among others.

It’s time for the sixth edition of Mo:Dem Festival and in the year 2017. the biggest novelty is our new concept with three musical stages. Here we present you the sounds of The Hive. In the past editions, this stage was called Main. We consider that today it's totally inappropriate to divide musical genres on 'main' and 'alternative'. However new name doesn't change the fact that The Hive is the nucleus of Mo:Dem Festival. The place where nature, art, creativity, technology and the spirits of the forest meet to create ultimate dance space. The Hive will host a wide range of top quality underground psychedelic artists from around the world delivering some of the finest sounds of the past and present, and showcasing some of the new fresh and unheard sounds of the future. In this podcast we present you Daksinamurti.

Here is the exclusive set that my friend BuzZ from Japan and i played together this year as an afternoon sesession for a nice family-style summer-closing festival in Germany - Fractalia. This was the only set we played together in 2017. It has a very nice flow, story and drive - groovy to the bone and made strictly for outdoor consumption in a forest friendly setting. We are looking forward to our next dancefloor adventures. 
Keep an eye out for Eiichi(BuzZ) who will return again to European shores in summer 2018!

Magic represents a category used in the study of religion and the social sciences to define various practices and ideas considered separate to both religion and science. The category developed in Western culture although has since been applied to practices in other societies. Various different definitions of magic have been proposed.
Within Western culture, the term "magic" has been linked to the idea of the Other, and with the idea of "foreignness".

“Magic has often been dismissed as either primitive and irrational and therefore alien to modern society, as inherently opposed to the Judeo-Christian traditions of the West, or as incompatible with religion in general. These antipathetic sentiments are deeply embedded in Western culture, and the term magic has typically been used to describe non-mainstream beliefs and practices — non-Christians, heretics, non-Westerners, indigenous, ancient or 'primitive' cultures — any that might be considered 'Other.' The image of magic as inherently linked with the Other has functioned as an important factor in the construction of the self-identity of Western culture, for by defining magic as something alien, exotic, primitive, evil, deviant or even ridiculous, our society also makes a tacit statement as to its self-perceptions." 
– Historian of religion Henrik Bogdan

Many of the practices, which have been labeled magic, can be performed by anyone. For instance, some charms can be recited by individuals with no specialist knowledge, while others require specialized training in order to perform them. Some of the individuals who performed magical acts on a more than occasional basis came to be identified as magicians, or with related concepts like sorcerers, witches, etc. There is a connection between language and magic is due to a belief in the inherent ability of words to influence the universe. Whether spoken out loud or unspoken, words are frequently used to access or guide magical power. A spell, charm or even mantra is a set of words, spoken or unspoken, which are considered by its user to some magical effect and apply to most cultures around the world. Spells can be used in calling upon a spirit, a deity or other supernatural agent, or to prevent a person from taking some action or in forcing them to remain on some path of action. Another potential source of the power of words is their secrecy and exclusivity. Much sacred language is differentiated enough from common language that it is incomprehensible to the majority of the population and it can only be used and interpreted by specialized practitioners. Hocus Pocus is such a word with a magic but unknown meaning same as other famous one like Sim Sala Bim , Abbracadabra, Alkazam etc. The origin of the phrase “Hocus Pocus” remains obscure. It was first mentioned in an old English text from 1635. During time – it became synonym also for nonsense and things people don’t understand.
This 2,5 hour set was recorded October 2017 at the Psyalaska party in the Slovakian mountains.

The axis mundi is a cosmologic concept of shamanic origin, which can also be found in many religions and philosophies. It stands for the cosmic axis or world tree and is considered the world center- a connection between the three worlds. A celestial pole, where the four cardinal directions meet, and where the correspondence is made between higher and lower realms.
It can be a natural object like a mountain (for example Kailash, Meru, Mount Zion, Uluru, Kunlun, Mount Olympus), a plant for example a tree or vine, or something manmade like a ladder, a maypole, a totem pole or even a religious site like a temple, an altar, or pagoda etc.
Plants often serve as images of the axis mundi. The image of the tree provides an axis symbol that unites three planes: sky (branches), earth (trunk) and underworld (roots).
The Yggdrasil (World Ash) functions in much the same way in Norse mythology; or Thor’s Oak in pre Christian Germanic mythology. In Hindu religion, the banyan tree plays a similar role. Also the biblical Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life show similar features.
In Mircea Eliade's opinion, "Every Microcosm, every inhabited region, has a Centre; that is to say, a place that is sacred above all”
The Axis Mundi symbol originates in a natural and universal psychological perception: that the spot one occupies stands at "the center of the world”. 
In the shamanic concept, and a universally told story, is that of the healer traversing the axis mundi (or cosmic ladder) to other ralms to bring back knowledge in order to find the lost soul and therefore proceed with his healing work. He is the intermediary between these worlds and it is one of his main traits and abilities to master them and find orientation in all three worlds.

Emiel & Daksinamurti - Sonic Sorcery (3 hours set)

Here is the first set of mine for the new year ... its one hour recorded from a 3 hour set i played in January for SHIVAMOON at a Sangoma night on the legendary Koh Phangan island in Thailand. The last time i went was in 2003 so lots has changed but the spirit remained the same - although it is not as open anymore and one has to look a bit closer. Unfortunately my recorder didnt have more space to record the whole set ... anyway this should be a glimpse of foresty nighttime music ... Looking forward to be back back in Thailand soon. 
big thanks to Kia and everyone who made my Thailand trip so special!

The winter solstice (or hibernal solstice), also known as midwinter, occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. Since prehistory, the winter solstice has been seen as a significant time of year in many cultures, and has been marked by festivals and rituals. It marked the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun.
Recorded during Joule or X- Mass 2018 in Münster/ Germany.

Here is the set i played at Shankra to honor our great friend and labelmate Bruno, Module Virus who passed away after battling with cancer. It was a magical moment,  the second the set was over it started raining. This set contains some of his best of, collaborations, recent and unreleased work. Big thanks to Mahi from Shankra for suggesting this set in his memory, Bom Shanka music for providing me with music which was released on their label, where Bruno was a member for many years - unfortunately i couldn't load that batch in time. Big thanks to Boom Festival and Ozora - you fullfilled his lifetime dreams by giving his music the stage he dreamed of since he started making music.  Much thanks also for everyone who supported Bruno in his too short but colorful life. It made him happy to play his music to people and see them dance. Fly high gentle soul - you live on through your music. We miss you.
