Hi Everyone! So I decided to make a Promotional mix for the up and coming Bardo night at Blue Mountain on Sat 11th Feb! 

Event page here:    https://www.facebook.com/events/449412752115161/

Bardo is all about creating an atmosphere that allows people to really let go and get lost in the sound! We aim to create musical experiences that really help clubbers invoke their most positive human emotions! 

In any Town or City, people around you are most often at very different stages on their individual journeys which can sometimes lead to very little connection despite being surrounded. It can feel lonely in a crowd sometimes. However on a Dance floor people become a Unified Group very quickly through the shared enjoyment of Music and Dance! This united energy can help anyone find a nice personal state of Happiness, belonging and contentment very quickly and this is just the beginning of what an amazing club night can offer!

We aim to create beautiful musical journeys that in one foul swoop can really help and inspire People! 

Whether you aim to just dance, socialise and have some fun or perhaps you hope to find yourself a bit after a tough week at work... A good night out clubbing can really surprise people in it's power! Before you know it some great music in the right environment can transcend initial thoughts and get people creating new plans or dreaming big again about the future! Occasionally for the right person......, Music, Connection, Rhythm and Dance can even help them philosophise out new ideas and concepts all while seemingly just having fun in a nightclub! Done Properly House and Techno really have the ability to inspire and touch people on a higher level!

Musically Bardo is all about showcasing Proper Techno in Bristol! In the Main room we play exactly that whilst not being afraid to drop down into the odd House track here and there to keep things interesting! Upstairs in the second room we try to compliment the High energy of main arena by having more of a Housey vibe going on with a good sprinkling of Club Classics and Ibiza Anthems!

I was going to make 2 separate mixes to give you a feel for both rooms at a Bardo event but then thought  :-

 "Why not have it all in one mix!"

And so decided to take on the big challenge of creating a 2 hour musical journey to encompass everything Bardo has to offer all in one magical mix! 

Aiming to take the listener from a mellow and Housey beginning we will roll right through all the gears of House and Tech House towards a Dark and Brooding Techno conclusion!

This will be a thing of beauty so get some headphones, Pump it up LOUD and enjoy the sounds of Bardo everyone!

Cheers,

Keith Newman's.... "Why not have it all in one mix"..... MIX

The Mission -  To create beautiful musical journeys that can really help and inspire people! Whether that be to relax, get spiritual, dream big, philosoph-Fi or just have fun listening and dancing to !

The Method - Work with deep care and concern for atmosphere in my sets with the aim to create truly majestic moments for the crowds I play in front of :D

"I've been in this whole thing as a record collector and DJ right from hearing the first sounds that came out of Chicago and Detroit in the Mid 80s when I was just a little kid! Dancing is my passion, Music is my love and sharing with others... My Art ! " :D

"This music when played in the correct environment has the power to help move people into a higher essence of being!.. All through nothing more complex than the joy of Sound, Rhythm and Dance" :D

FULL BIOGRAPHY

Brought up surrounded by classical music from his earliest memories, Keith heard a new sound in the mid 80s which struck him like a lightning bolt! House from Chicago and Techno from Detroit were life changing even at such an early age! Tracks which inspired from the Windy City included the very first House tune!.... Frankie Knuckles... Your Love and Marshall Jefferson’s Move your body!

Keith has followed this sound and all it's beautiful off shoots as a desire, passion and calling all throughout life ever since!

Once old enough he immediately got into the scene in every way he could..  A DJ and Promoter for 10 years around London with multiple appearances at top Clubs including Pacha and The Egg! Other UK residencies included The Matrix, 3Sixty, Mango and The Fez! Keith truly learned the art of DJing playing out 3 nights a week for 10 years straight! (98 -08). Ibiza also featured during these years with Keith playing nothing but vinyl around the white isle during these beautiful times.

All of this was before leaving the UK in late 2008 to go on a long Backpack / DJ exploration of the Earth which had always been a dream! Many years passed sharing music through DJ sets with people all around the globe!

This experience taught Keith so much but most importantly that he MUST continue his music career as a DJ, Promoter and Producer Forever! At the start of this Travel adventure in 2008 he had almost reached a point where he was considering hanging up the headphones after many amazing years due to burn out! World Travel reinvigorated him musicality and firmly put him back on track! :D

Keith has since gone on to become a master in many aspects of sound ranging from the many sub genres of House and Tech, through to Euphoric Trance! A current speciality lies everywhere between Deep Soulful House and Dark Meditative Techno! :D

In recent years Keith has been running legendary House and Techno night, BARDO in Bristol, UK, to much success and acclaim alongside many other gigs around the globe..

Highlights of late include multiple appearances on the UK summer festival circuit, The Final Sunrise DJ set on Sound Car - Triptobot - Deep Playa at Burning Man in the US, Amazing Outdoor Beach Clubs in Brazil, Lost Paradise on Koh Phangan, Thailand ...., AND... DJing the Main Stage at The Total Solar Eclipse in Patagonia, December 2020! :D .....

A serious environmentalist with an academic background in meteorology Keith was also down in Patagonia to check the Sun's Corona regarding our precarious environmental situation for himself and how current minimal sunspot activity may be giving us a small extra window of opportunity to curb our emissions over the next decade if we act fast. The Good news.. As forecast the Sun's corona was showing minimal coronal mass ejection during this eclipse. This ever so slightly lowers baseline global temperature in the face of all our anthropogenic enhancement for a few years before the sun heads back towards Solar cycle maximum in 2025! Solar cycle 24 since 2013 had the lowest activity in 100 years and cycle 25 is forecast to be similar which relieves maximum possible temperature rise through this one small metric somewhat noticeably just when we need it. Perhaps there is even a glimmer of optimism to be had in this most delicate and serious of all humanity's problems.. A gift we barely deserve... We must run with it.

Most recently Keith has been DJing in Tulum, Mexico and by the Beach in Rio on travels between his home in Brazil and Europe! :D

Current update : I'm enjoying some studio time in Brazil and DJing on the beach in Rio De Janeiro all throughout 2023 at Vaibe Beach Lounge! 

Here's a deep mix and glorious sunset recorded live for you all to enjoy from my home here in Brazil !

Peace, Love, Music, Rhythm and Dance ! :D
