Live DJ Set - Damian Ardenne - Suntory Time @ Whiskey Street SLC - 28 March 2014

This mix was recorded to promote the upcoming I Love Ibiza party @ W Lounge.  You'll hear a lot of 3 track layering here and a smattering of effects and live remixing.  I'm really feeling the convergence of organic and pure electronic elements on this one.  Download away...I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks goes to all the early morning dancers that joined us.

Element 11 Festival (Sunrise) - Damian Ardenne @ Jacked Rabbit - 2017

Remastered in September 2019. 

Given the current state of xenophobia and the escalation of right wing extremism surrounding the topic of immigration, this composition feels more important several years after its release.  A full listen will reveal all of the original composition's nuances.

Backing percussion, bass, and synthesizers added to performances by Nils Frahm, Woodkid, and Robert De Niro.  Light sheen of plate reverb used to enhance Robert De Niro's vocal performance.

Sunset festival performance @ Cataluna during Element 11 2018.  Thanks go to the Kittyboys for hosting all the talent and for a great weekend of music.

Recorded live on July 12, 2018.

Element 11 Regional Burn (Sunset) - Damian Ardenne @ Catalun Village - July 2018

Pre-release Remix of Thom Yorke's Suspirium (from the upcoming film Suspiria).  Bass and additional melodic support tracked live.

Verse 1
This is a waltz thinking about our bodies
What they mean for our salvation
With only the clothes that we stand up in
Just the ground on which we stand
Is the darkness ours to take?
Bathed in lightness, bathed in heat

Verse 2
All is well, as long as we keep spinning
Here and now, dancing behind a wall
When the old songs and laughter we do
Are forgiven always and never been true

Verse 3
When I arrive, will you come and find me?
Or in a crowd, be one of them?
Wore the wrong sign back beside her
Know tomorrow's at peace

Therapeutic drum exploration written for innerspace journeys on wide open expanses.

Recorded, August 2019.

Domani a Secco

Domani a Secco (Black Rock Ritual Mix)

Thanks goes to @waxwood for composing the seed for this remix-- an acoustic soundscape named Tranquil Vessel.

The original EP can be found at https://soundcloud.com/waxwood/sets/waxwood-sahasrara-foam002
thewaxwood.bandcamp.com/album/sahasrara

Source elements were submerged in a wash of multiple rhythms and soundscapes.  The result is a collage of polyrhythms converging into complex harmony.

Part bliss, part psychedelic.

Remixed August 2019 for performances at Burning Man 2019.

Waxwood - Tranquil Vessel (Ardenne's Lago Lahontan Dub)

Downtempo set recorded live at Burning Man on Saturday morning, August 31, 2019.  Many thanks to the Opulent Chill family, the Opulent Temple sound, visual, and power teams, and especially, to Gina Grandi.

Damian Ardenne - Live LP - Days Gone Buy

As a teaser for the upcoming night with Hector Romero (November 14- W Lounge), I've pulled together some of the newest additions to my record bag.  This mix benefits from a wide variety of genres and really delves into dubby tech territory (with a foray into lighter shades of Techno at the end).  As with all of my mixes-- no rehearsal, no redo's, no aftertouches-- pick the best from my latest tracks and press record.   As always, my tracklisting is available on demand- just drop me a line.  Enjoy and please do comment!
