ECSTATIC DANCE @ BALI  NEW MOON

Calling upon a vast network of musicians from across the evolving frontiers of visionary music, Liquid Bloom and PERE have gathered the sounds of the global electronica scene into one momentous collection with ‘Afar Remixed.’ 

Consisting of seventeen genre-twisting tracks built from the duo’s trance-inducing musical blueprints, this imaginative remix album dives further into Liquid Bloom and PERE’s shared identity while exploring the cutting-edge world of psychedelic sound design.

Where 2021’s ‘Afar‘ hits its main stride in the realms of organic house, the 2022 remixes delve into a surrealistic mixture of progressive and broken beats within an omni-tempo framework, placing deep basslines and energetic grooves in brilliant opposition to the source material’s acoustic and vocal melodies. 

With reimagined tracks delving into lighter, darker, and more nebulous atmospheres, each author’s signature is made evident in the collection’s energetically diverse and emotionally magnetic structure, creating an experience for listeners that bares all of the hallmarks of a journey through the musical looking glass. 

As excursions into musical realms beyond boundaries become increasingly demanding, it is collections such as this one that reveal the persisting power of collaboration and the resilience of the creative spirit. While some elements of these songs may feel familiar — especially when compared to the source material — there remains an undeniable sense of discovery within each composition that will beckon listeners back into Liquid Bloom and PERE’s unified vision as well as into the expanded worlds of their remixers time and time again.

Liquid Bloom X PERE - Ufawatu (Mandala Affect Remix)

Reflecting on how much I enjoyed sharing music at the Brietenbush Hot Springs “Ecstatic Community Immersion” this last weekend. The retreat blended a dynamic approach of hosting forums on inclusion & equity, erotic blueprint, embodiment practices & more while creating a rich space for connection to the elements through ecstatic dance. 

I enjoyed sharing a live-set experience on Saturday night with Cyrenity providing opening & closing live-looped vocal soundscapes as well as vocal-support throughout the set.

In an ongoing exploration of the psychedelic music world, Desert Trax is pleased to bring the ‘The Mycelium Is Remixed.’ 

Consisting of six reimagined tracks based on Liquid Bloom & PERE’s 2022 collaboration with famed mycologist Paul Stamets, “The Mycelium Is Listening,” this explorative collection features our favorite submissions from a remix contest hosted by our friends at Guatemala’s Fungi Academy earlier this year.

After receiving countless tracks from producers around the world, we’re excited to present the three winning compositions by Illusive Tuna, CALAGNA, and Ojhro, as well as our favorite runner-up tracks by Subliminull and Desert Trax artists Spice Traders and Tylepathy.

An immersive blend of styles that traverses the realms of liquidy psydub, deep tribal house, ethereal downtempo, and soothing ambient sound, ‘The Mycelium Is Remixed‘ showcases the innovative work of both new and established producers across the globe tapping into the bountiful resources of the natural world.

ALIA & Imagika Om - Madre (Mandala Affect Remix)

@Lunar-Symphonyy
A-Hankali, in the Housa language of the ethnic group in Sub-Saharan Africa, means slowly, carefully, closely. 
Lunar Symphony applies those principles to their music; to remind ourselves to be patient, to take it slow and to put care into what we love. The “A Hankali” EP is a  journey of connection and closeness through dance, bass, and everything else in these times of uncertainty.
