Thank you Dylan, I had no idea Sadaam was hung  by death.

With great artistry from San Francisco (DF Tram and that Airplane reference) on the brain, I'm reminded of the line "what a long, strange trip it's been." For those of us who experienced this period of time, it is a chilling reminder. For those who didn't, that creative cinematic soundtrack underneath it all will make it a fascinating history listen. Or lesson. Thanks - this is brilliant!

This makes my arm hairs stand to attention

MAKOSSA MIX - Music For Hot Summer Days Pt.15

SONIC TREASURE SHOW 
RECORDED 5/7/25

After a good break and deep thought I’ve decided to ressurect on all things Sonic Treasure.
The last 12 months have proved to have been a real difficult time..
I had no energy last autumn to get my ass in gear, juggling work, play and life in general but most importantly, the health of my mammy, and the inevitable passing of her soul to the outer cosmos above which came this February 2025. 
No more pain, but then everyone connected, family friends engulfed in grief. The grief will never leave, you just live with it and adapt to its ways.
I was still active as a collective pushing THE MANIFESTO OF BLISS, with my good brothers David Keenan , David Scott and David Holmes, blessed to be playing in  Belfast with GWR and our good friends Deeply Armed and Escape_ism. Joining forces with McChuills Glasgow / Vashti And Tony Morris and even more recently in Portobello Edinburgh with James Yorkston / Stephen Clarke and Erin Farley and also Ian and Owen from Folklore…playing also in Leeds with Marie Avril and my first visit to the Social in London at the White Rabbit books birthday bash
Many many thanks to all those and more for keeping me occupied through a difficult time 

I feel now is the time to get The Sonic Treasure Show kick started and in doing so I’m welcoming on board collaborative mixes with Nico, Connor, Claire, Haldane and whoever fancies it, ill be keeping the show/ mixes to Soundcloud on the usual link.
Guest mixes will be kept to an hour long, and sticking by the no rules RULE, guests have Carte Blanche
We all have far too much beautiful music that deserves to be out there for yer ears and we have to do that justice by sharing it
Respect always to the artists played and as per usual, the support of the artists is majorly important thru the purchase of their music, which gives them the faith to produce more

STOP THE GENOCIDE

So First up is a little mix from myself, I hope you enjoy.

FROM 9/11 TO TRUMP...

 My 911 "History Listen"  features actual sounds from the time, including music, news reports, first responder transmissions, and political addresses, this piece takes audiences on an audio journey that begins with the attacks on 911 and continues forward to the election of Donald Trump. This piece was first commissioned by a teacher as an educational program for his class, it was then  exhibited at the Smithsonian, Hershhorn museum in Washington DC in 2019.

DF Tram's  "HISTORY LISTEN: THE 9/11 PROJECT" (Episode 1)

DF Tram is a visionary music producer, DJ, and visual artist renowned for his cinematic and psychedelic fusion of ambient, electronic, and chillout music. Hailing from Los Angeles, his deeply immersive audio-visual performances have captivated audiences and earned the recognition of industry pioneers such as Alex Paterson (The Orb) and 'Youth' Martin Glover (Killing Joke, producer for Paul McCartney & The Verve).

His critically acclaimed album Serenitay Infinitay, released on the legendary Liquid Sound Design label, solidified his reputation as a trailblazer in the chillout music scene. Throughout his career, DF Tram has crafted countless remixes and original works under various aliases, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration. His unique approach has led to international acclaim, including touring alongside The Orb.

A Driving Force in the Chillout Scene
DF Tram played a pivotal role in shaping and cultivating the ambient and chillout music scene in San Francisco from 1995 to 2018. Over two decades, he curated transformative events, delivered legendary DJ sets, and fostered a thriving community of artists and listeners dedicated to deep, immersive soundscapes. His influence helped establish San Francisco as a global hub for chillout and experimental electronic music, providing an essential space for artistic innovation.

Expanding the Sonic Universe
Beyond music, DF Tram’s artistry spans film, sound design, and immersive storytelling. His collaborations with ambient icons such as The Orb, The Irresistible Force, Afterlife, and Dr. Atmo showcase his ability to create sonic worlds that transcend traditional boundaries. His work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., and he has been honored with a nomination for an Ibiza DJ Award in the Eclectic category.

In 2025, DF Tram’s highly anticipated new album will be released on Alex Paterson’s Orbscure record label, marking yet another evolution in his ever-expanding sonic journey. dftram@gmail.com booking https://7artistmanagement.co.uk/artists/df-tram/
