Jon David (aka Apukuna)creates musical journeys from deep within the mountains. Inspired by the beating hearts of the mystical music makers of mother earth...
thats what we feel and we feel so blessed to be able to share this attitude on 'Echoes'.  Thank you APUKUNA!

Open Into Flame
 is a meditation, a prayer and a dance for personal and collective transformation. For the past month, I have been immersed in smoke from fires burning in the mountains to surrounding my home and from the hundreds of others burning nearby here in the Pacific Northwest of Canada/USA. The burning of entire towns, homes and livelihoods has moved me into tears and into deep reflection. What is our Earth Mother asking of us in this time? This music was chosen to tell the story of my own journey into this question. It's an invitation to open into your own flame and to support releasing, transforming and welcoming new beginnings. As Bība shares so eloquently in this mix, “It’s time for a change of skin. This shedding is underway. Snake shows us that this shedding is by fire. The skin burning away is a skin full of injustices, anger and violence. [The fire] is symbolic of moving away from the old ways and making way for the new. In these flames, our anger can now be seen, our shadow revealed by the glowing light. And in this fire now, it’s time to heal. At this time of great shedding, an energy channel is open- a line of light. This line of light is our lineage. Our path to awakening. This energy is open to all beings on earth to come into alignment with the unfolding mystery of our individual and collective evolution.” 
With love - Jon (Apukuna)

Echoes from APUKUNA - Open Into Flame

This is the Playlist that I created for the birth of our son. Please enjoy and share as far as you like. It can be used for dancing, meditating, walking, loving, and of course for birthing...

Birth Playlist

The legend of South America's music is one of vibrant rhythms, passionate melodies, and diverse cultural influences. It's is a celebration of life. The music is also shaped by its indigenous roots, with traditional instruments like the charango, quena, and bombo adding unique textures to it. 
It is said that the music originated from the indigenous people of the Andes, who used it as a way to express their culture and traditions. The legend goes that the music was inspired by the natural sounds of the Andean landscape, including the wind, the rain, and the flowing rivers.

One of the most famous Andean instruments is the pan flute, which is said to have been created by the god Wiracocha. According to legend, Wiracocha made the first pan flute out of the bones of his dead children, and the music that came from it was so beautiful that it could bring the dead back to life.

Today, Andean music is still celebrated and enjoyed throughout South America and beyond. Its haunting melodies and intricate rhythms continue to captivate listeners and serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Andean people. Especially because the music continues to thrive, with new generations of artists blending traditional sounds with modern influences to create exciting new styles. Welcome to Folktronica / Electrocumbia.

Landing back in Germany, my heart and spirit are asking directly again for South and Central America. So I felt I have to share the beautiful vibe of the music which inspired me a lot while traveling through so many countries. It's a beautiful downtempo journey which I hope will sweeten up your upcoming summer! Enjoy the sun on your skin, move your hips or just relax in your hammock, drinking a fresh coconut, smelling the unique copal or palo santo - a reminder for the magnificent • leyenda • of these sacred lands.

Gracias gracias gracias

N Λ T U R R I T U - Leyenda (Organic Downtempo / Folktronica / Chillout)

💎 Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. 💎
― Arundhati Roy

This 3 hour journey was recorded in the sweet morning hours of the Ambyss Stage, in the middle of the vortex portal that was and is OZORA Festival:  

Lovingly named a "Psychedelic Tribal Gathering", this visionary festival really cracked my artist-heart & elder-raver-spirit open...I had multiple moments of releasing tears from the beauty around me:  from the exquisite electronic music, to the visionary art surrounding me, to all of the diverse open-hearted humans swimming in my field:  reminding me of the spiritual roots of house-music and rave-culture that shaped me in the late 90's, and continues to shape me...such a blessing to receive this medicine.

To be able to weave my musical contribution into this rich-tapestry was an honor, and enlivened my artistic spirit (who does not enjoy formulas or being put into boxes)...I loved being in an open space of infinite possibilities, and I bow to the open minds & souls that received these frequencies:  journeying between Ambient, Medicine Music & no tracks above 90 bpm, creating a sweet-womb-cocoon for the morning.

Deep gratitude to the OZORA krew, especially @bodoo for inviting me (and curating so beautifully) & beloved OZORA family @mike-stellar, Nina & Mestre Braima Galissá for rooting me in tribe vibes <3  

Thank you magnificent summer of 2023:  you have filled my heart and soul with expansion & creative empowerment...I really needed this!

Bellazaia & Rekyl #11 - Ayahuasca integration & Process - Pachamama’s Blessing

Follow me on this musical journey of healing and transformation. This set invites us to begin change in the smallest of ways – within ourselves, deep inside. True transformation starts from within, and when we heal ourselves, we begin to radiate peace and light outwards, touching the world around us. Just like a gentle beam of light expanding outward, we can bring more harmony and peace into our lives, and into the world.

This 2-hour Set takes you on a profound journey of inner transformation, reminding us that we all have the potential to be healers of our own world, and through that healing, illuminate the world beyond us.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible artists who have shared their musical gems with us, allowing this healing journey to unfold. Your creativity and dedication are truly a blessing.

Here is the tracklist, each piece accompanying a different aspect of this healing process:

Nacho Rodriguez - Mujer de Luz

Little Whale - Tejedora Cósmica
YUNEA - Togather

Listening to Do  U Hav Smile feels a little like opening one of Georges Perec’s notebooks: fragments, repetitions, small gestures observed with care...Nothing insists, yet everything lingers... A question that drifting slowly through Paris, aware that clarity would ruin it...

★Echoes from Venus was born out of love for music★
Venus meets us in the morning and evening and reminds us symbolically of what our label stands for as well as how we want to meet at the Echoes events:
With love, sensuality, harmony, seduction, mindfulness, peace and partnership to name a few....
This should also be reflected in our music.
There is a lot of heart, relationship, joy and respect in each of our releases and the events.
If you also feel this and such intensions are in your productions send us your demos to:
info@echoesfromvenus.ch
Since we don't have time for stress, we tend to choose downtempo music. We are open for organic, warm sounds, instruments, voices, experimental.......
