The unmistakably spacious and rhythmic vibrations of MantisMash return to Merkaba Music in 2020’s ‘Time Seeds.’ Developed amidst a year of rooting in one of the birthplaces of global electronic culture, MantisMash’s fourth full-length album delivers listeners to the sun-bathed sceneries and shimmering landscapes of Goa through nine tracks of groovy and uplifting mid-tempo psychedelia. A producer whose iconic sound gyrates between soothing waves of wobbling bass and glimmering layers of organic and technical instrumentation, MantisMash delves into the ambrosial essence of dub-laced electronica while maintaining an unmistakably upbeat energy that flows from one luminous composition to the next. Capturing atmospheres of the past, present, and future, ‘Time Seeds’ is an invitation to sonic wanderers to connect with the universal spirit of music as it dances across history and into dimensions both near and beyond.

Kaya Project - The Endless Spinning Wheel (Mandala Affect Remix)

It took four years to upload it but here it is: a remix I created for Master Margherita in 2018. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

Master Margherita - Blue Fish (Lo.Renzo Remix)

This set was so powerful.

My intention for the field was 'allowance' to allow whatever is present in your dance whether that is feeling deeply connected and in your body or feeling disconnected and in the mind. The invitation was to welcome whatever is knowing it is all information for you in that moment. 

10 min into the set I had a glitch on the first big transition and if you know me, you know how much I like the transitions to be smooth as honey. Often times, I can be hard on myself when I mess up and this time, embodying my own intention of allowance, I simply was like "well that happened, oh well" and I moved on and the rest of the set is fiahhhhhhhh.

I have never received SO MUCH love and accurate reflection from the way I curate a journey. It was so well received and I deeply feel that is bc the people in the space were able to see it, feel it and attune to the depth of energy and heart I pour into my sets.

Thank you to everyone who was there! It was truly such a joyful, alive and ecstatic night!

It has been over a decade since the global electronica scene sampled its first Desert Dwellers remix. Synthesized from a menagerie of old-world acoustics infused with the pulsating beat of the electronic underground, it was these early re-visions of Desert Dwellers’ genre-melding music that would come to serve as a foundation for the duo’s evolving relationship with the alchemical art of remixing, as exhibited by over 100 remixes of their style-defining tracks since the project first took shape in the late 1990s. 

’Breath Re-Imagined Vol. 2’ carries on in this evolving tradition as producers Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe hand the building blocks of their 2019 album, ‘Breath,’ over to eleven musical adepts from the realms of downtempo house and electronica for a scintillating new installment to their global music tale. Spiced with the ambrosial flavors of world beat and folkloric house, ‘Breath Re-Imagined Vol. 2’ brings a dreamy and evocative edge to Breath’s ethereal landscapes, blending in heavier percussion and deep, technical grooves to craft a dance floor elixir that guides us further into the essence of Desert Dwellers’ shapeshifting musical visions.

Marked by inclusions from a worldwide array of producers that includes Coss & Iorie, Luca Bacchetti, Unders, Rapossa, Nhii, Derun, Alvaro Suarez, and Roderic, as well as American producers The Invisible People (aka An-Ten-Nae), Bosa, and Forever & Ever, ‘Breath Re-Imagined Vol. 2’ is a bridge between the old world and the new and a testament to the ever-changing nature of all creations as they bend to the wheels of time and influence in an accelerating world.

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.
