This is a special reflective mix that I have been working on the past month as I integrate the musical wonders of the ambient, downtempo, world and sound healing realms that have touched my soul deeply the past year and beyond - at chillout/ conscious gigs and on a personal level.

Putting on both my producer and DJ hats on for this, has been rewarding and challenging. This mix contains 4 of my own tracks which blend electronic synths, samples and live therapeutic instruments. Along with my own edits and blend of inspirational artists such as Carbon Based Lifeforms, Yaima etc.

The arc for this journey follows a familiar and powerful narrative of grounding into and being at peace with our innermost emotions, shadows and thoughts pleasant and unpleasant, before we slowly embrace the melodies of world, nature and cosmos, in both beauty and melancholy. "Show me your mess, before you show me your light"

Ambient Year Mix 2023 - Inner Embrace

Sek Sheng, also known by his artist name ‘Dr Foo’, is a sound meditation facilitator, musician and DJ who holds space and prescribes music for healing and integration of deeper aspects of the self. He has immersed in and been trained in sound healing, yoga, meditation and music production in an ever evolving journey in the past 10 years.

Dr Foo believes that sound is a universal language that can re-awaken our innate power and connection with all, and serve as a fun yet sacred medium for healing and understanding. His journeys emphasise the importance of owning our darkness before true healing and expansion can occur.  

His sound healing journeys interweave live therapeutic instruments (singing bowls, harp, melodic drums etc) with electronic music (hypnotic synths, binaural beats), nature sounds, ethnic music and mantras across cultures. It is a reflection of his journey starting as an underground club DJ in Melbourne to immersing in yogic journeys in India & Bali, and then realising the power of sound for therapy.  

In recent years he has curated soundscapes for yoga and meditation events, full & new moon sound healing journeys as well as ecstatic/conscious dance events.
