Prognosis 09 ~ The Deep End Exclusive

No man can fully live the present without acceptance of his past, no tree can grow without strong deep roots in the dark soil. The melodies, genres, quirks, struggles and emotions that shape us form the powerful base/bass of our essence.

I call forth and honour the deeper and darker side of progressive trance shaped by the Coldharbour sound that has been the container of my deep emotions for power to release them, and eradicate the hurdles and bullshit of our lives so we can progress to actualisation. 

Starting with deep luscious downtempo and house from the likes of Maya Jane Coles, we get gradually sucked into moody hypnotic grooves and old Coldharbour melodies, then dragged into the modernised carnage of Purple Haze, Arkham Knights before coming back to sit with the raw emotions. Bass is the common sprinkling ;)

Ready for the journey? God I miss grooving live in a dark setting, let alone DJing live in person again!

Dr Foo Live From The Deep End III @ Spiffy Dapper

As I immerse and offer more sound healing/meditation sessions, I will be showcasing the therapeutic sounds from the instruments in my arsenal, played with intentions for deepening of self understanding and release of dis-ease. The long running Prognosis series will start to showcase these live mixes as an easeful ambient solvent to your worries and tensions, before the more groovy/ uplifting segments come in as later parts.

In this mix, you get to experience the Dr Foo fusion of electronic hypnotic elements with live sound healing instruments. 

Beginning with Tibetan Singing bowls, deep synths and binaural beats, we ground into the Earth/mud and feel into the present, both pleasant and unpleasant. Entraining into meditative Theta state for deep rest and release. Taking in shamanic sounds to feel into your primal nature too.

Allowing melodic drums and electronic synths to wash away the baggage that doesn't serve, as you flow to your inner truth and play. Travelling up to your heart centre, let the harp strings open you further to your tenderness and callings. 

Concluding with Chimes, Sansula and hypnotic synths, we connect with Etheric inspirations and sources of creativity for expansion. Ending with a heart-centred mantra to send out the vibrations to earth and those we care about

Markus Schulz - ProgDay 2013 on AH.FM

It has been a while since I recorded a Prognosis set live, and this is a series that has evolved from the deep and dark to the higher connections. In this mix I pay homage to the middle ground - my roots in melodic progressive and ambient music that has fed many souls and encapsulated emotions of hope, yearning, melancholy and connection to something greater. 

I have mixed tunes old and new that are accessible for all to groove, work, study, reflect, chill by the beach or connect within and without. I have always felt that the beauty of progressive lies in its ability to touch the soul as a background for all activities, existing in between the main genres of electronic music.

A shout out to luminaries old and new: Anjunadeep, Above & Beyond, Guy J, Marsh

A tinge of melancholy, joy, hope, uplift

Prognosis 28 - The Melodic Middle

Dr Foo Deep Prog Promo

Welcome back to this latest episode of Prognosis, which re-creates a deeper and longer live electro-acoustic sound bath that I did at a beautiful event called 'Ecstasis' at Rasa in July, and a series of similar sound baths done at New Bahru before that, in Singapore.

This also rides on my unique integration of binaural soundscapes, live instruments such as singing bowls, harp and handpan, as well as sounds from my favourite ambient artists such as Divasonic, Above & Beyond :)

Use this aural pill for deep rest, self regulation, to glean deeper insights, mindful study or work :)
Headphones are recommended to glean the full benefits of brainwave entrainment into theta meditative state from the binaural beats programmed inside.

Prognosis 29 - Deep Ambient Integration (Binaural)

Presenting Prognosis episode 25 -

A journey crafted in recovery and reconnection to our essence that is unchanging and un-judging regardless of circumstance. Melodic and meditative, this piece is curated with the intention to lift and support you in any experience you are facing at the moment, and remind you that your true nature is always available to support you from the depth of the waves of turbulence on the surface.

The first track is an original production I made for a meditative soundscape infusing binaural beats and melodic drone sounds to help myself entrain into relaxing states when overwhelmed - from prolonged periods of restlessness from the lockdown or worries from my recent surgery. Past year has also presented an opportunity to introspect more, and a natural synergy with more soothing ambient and downtempo tracks ensued, as depicted by the first part of this mix, which I hope help soothes you and brings you into a more positive expansive space like it did for me. We journey to deeper parts of self and build into light grooves with a selection of many talented downtempo/world/electronica artists from the likes of Carbon Based Lifeforms, Yaima/Utooto, Divasonic, Ancestral Elephants, Imagika Om

1) Dr Foo - Meditative Soundscapes

Prognosis 25 - True Nature

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.
