A message from @shaker-brother and @don-mescal:

"We're filled with gratitude for our inaugural performance at Envision Festival. The experience was truly otherworldly, providing us with the unique opportunity to connect and share moments with artists we've known for many years. Reflecting on the week, waves of nostalgia and excitement wash over us as we recall the incredible live acts and artists we encountered. Playing our organic downtempo set, ranging from 90 to 105 bpm, was an absolute pleasure, and witnessing the crowd's reactions added an extra layer of joy to the experience. Envision Festival, you've left an indelible mark on our hearts.
Don on the mix and Shaker Brother on the shakers,
Much love".

Don Mescal & Caterina Infinity - Bargain - L'OsstidBurn 2018

This is a mix recorded live during " L'OsstidBurn " the Montreal Burning Man. This fantastic gathering is a participatory art festival held just 1.5 hours from Montréal from June 14-17 2018, inspired by the Ten Principles of Burning Man.
I was really happy to play on friday afternoon at Robot Tarte in such a magical setting, among kindred spirits and friends. Robot Tarte is a funny and sarcastic soundcamp in hommage to the famous Robot Heart. To understand the joke, Robot heart sounds like Robot Tarte in english with the french accent. 
Robot Tarte is a collective of engineers, party people, french people, dreamers and irreverent hippies .They have a massive Funkion one sound system and a perfect location close to the river. 
I was playing spiritual tracks to feat with their thematic Enviezionne.
" Entre la cime des arbres, aux rebords de la rivière marquera une réunion pour une danse extatique allignant chakra, karma, énergie quantique et fréquence sonores interdimensionnelles. Pour ceux qui en auront besoin, une banque de karma sera disponible sur place pour des prêts à faible taux. "

Slow down brothers and sisters...
Mother Earth itself is screaming to humanity to slow down and reconnect with her in a spiritual way.
This is my last dj set, before the lockdown, recorded on sunday March 3 in Mazunte (Mexico)during a beautiful sunset en '' La Posada El Architecto'' a beautiful bar, restaurant in front of the beach. The vibe was dope and i know it will be one of my last set before a long time in front of a crowd...

I hope you will enjoy the journey, close your eyes and feel the breeze of the magnificent hippie village vibes of Mazunte.
