Peeling away the borders and structure of Desert Dwellers’ distinguished musical style to reveal the undercurrents that lie beneath, ‘Breath: Portal to Stillness‘ is the fourth remix collection to be borne from the acclaimed duo’s 2019 album, ‘Breath.’ A sense-blurring compilation of ambient melodies derived from the source material’s ten original compositions, these new journeys invite listeners through the veil of music into a realm of boundless perception. 

Devoid of percussion and the distinguishable elements of ‘Breath’s’ electronic production, each track paints a vibrant picture of the stillness between beats and offers a respite where thoughts and emotion can either flourish or rest, untouched from the world outside.

A celebration of the life-giving essence of spacious ambient music, ‘Breath: Portal to Stillness‘ hearkens back to an era of sound that blurs the line between organic and digital production techniques while unlocking new doors in a rising era of journey-centric music and immersive psychedelic therapy soundtracks. 

Offering countless layers of exploration with each encounter, ‘Breath: Portal to Stillness‘ will reward listeners for years to come, thus ensuring its place in the legacy of one of electronic music’s most timeless and influential genres.

What an unforgettable night at the Mishawaka celebrating 25 years of us making music together! 🌟 This venue holds a special place in our hearts—there’s nothing like playing outdoors, next to the river, under the stars.

Huge gratitude to Bloomurian and the folktronica duo Siren & Seer for opening the night with such mesmerizing vibes. We were thrilled to dive deep into an extended 2-hour set for everyone! Here’s to more memories and music together. 🎶✨

Live Set at the Mishawaka - Celebrating 25 years!

I decided some years back to stop DJing Psy Trance, but then I got offered a set at Texas Eclipse Festival that I couldn't refuse. It lit a fire in me, so when Divine Freak Collective from St. Petersburg, Florida asked me to come play their Halloween party I jumped on the opportunity! Here is my set from that night, which was an awesome event!

Can We Begin Again

Can We Begin Again (feat. Random Rab & Me~She)

“Embers of a Forgotten Prayer” unites Liquid Bloom, Bloomurian, and Mah Ze Tar in a spellbinding fusion of Middle Eastern mysticism, deep bass, and ceremonial sound design. Building on past collaborations, Liquid Bloom and Bloomurian’s synergy is further elevated by Mah Ze Tar’s mesmerizing artistry, weaving soulful Oud and Ney melodies with haunting vocals into a sonic invocation. Inspired by a Rumi poem, this track is more than music—it’s a flickering ember of divine remembrance, calling the listener to move, feel, and awaken.

"Flowing is an 8 track journey through movement and awareness. It brings the natural rhythms of the organic world into the beat-steady realm of deep tribal house to create a sonic canvas primed for inner exploration. Woven with emotive vocal support, deep basslines and rich instrumentation, each track transports listeners to a unique landscape without ever severing its connection to the physical world. Buffered by two remixes that bring their own warm and technical edge to the collection, Flowing's tapestry of primal sounds and emotional states is here to guide listeners in their pursuit of clarity, insight and purpose." -- Christian Cortes (Soundscrype)

What an amazing celebration of life! A full night of music, dancing, aerial, performances, live painting, and so much more. Denver is one of our favorite places to play in the world. We've known and worked with Shpongle for years and opened for him earlier this year at Red Rocks when he performed with his live band. 

A huge thank you to everyone who helped put on the show. The lights, video, lasers, dancers, painters, performers, promoters, and, of course, the fans. ♥️

Desert Dwellers is a pioneering electronic music project that bridges the ancient and the future, fusing deep bass, world instrumentation, and psychedelic textures into immersive sonic journeys. Founded in 1999 by Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, the project grew out of the legendary Moontribe gatherings in the deserts of Southern California and Santa Fe, New Mexicos desert rave scene. 

Blending influences from many genres, Desert Dwellers has released dozens of albums and remixes, toured across five continents, and collaborated with an eclectic array of artists from around the world. Their music has graced stages at Symbiosis, Ozora, Lightning in a Bottle, Boom, Envision, Shambhala, and Burning Man, resonating with audiences through both meditative journeys and powerful dancefloor experiences.

In 2026, Desert Dwellers will enter its most significant evolution yet. Co-founder Amani Friend will be stepping away from touring to focus on studio production and other creative pursuits, while a new collaborator joined the project, acclaimed producer and mixing/mastering engineer Sarkis Mikael. While continuing to honor the project’s signature sound and ethos “Music Beyond Borders,” Desert Dwellers is now expanding into bold new sonic territories. Sarkis, with releases on respected labels like Sol Selectas, Saisons, and Hoomidaas, brings a fresh creative spark and deep musical integrity.
