PREMIERE : Loredana Bertè - Ti piacerebbe (Volantis Remix)

AfrikaBurn 2017 at The 1+0NLY Camp and Play Lounge. Sweltering heat and cold beers to add to the chilled tunes that inspired this set. Having had a non stop week or playing on some of the biggest "stages" at AB it was just so amazing to take time to reflect with this set on the hectic week and its extraordinary highs playing music for all the amazing Burners.

The bliss of a serene sunrise set at The Watering Hole on the Friday morning took the desert musical experience to yet another amazing level.

Lobo has LIFE.... 

When I left AfrikaBurn last year I knew I wanted to play on that Spirit. I was not sure how I was going to do it but the intention was strong and if you are going to learn anything about The Burn, it is that intention is the key to achieving in that magical space. I asked to play and Michael Kennedy said yes! I still reel from that when I write this and I will be forever grateful and in awe for the opportunity given.

As Lobo announced his arrival at Hauptbahnhof Station the atmosphere was electric. People walking in from all directions, the expectation was huge! All I wanted to do was get it going but I was forced to wait and in turn to soak it all in as the crew were plugging in to the sound system at the station. We were going to be playing off a full surround sound setup that was almost certainly going to blow your heart clean into the stratosphere. Eventually what seemed like an eternity my gear was plugged in and I sit here still in disbelief as to if it really happened. 

One of the best experiences of my life. Truly a dream come true to feel the movement of everyone on that perfect Wednesday night.  saw on the desert dance tears, laughter and love.

There is something about the Tankwa that changes the music in some way or form I cannot describe. It sounds better, it feels more, it becomes magic. Is it because we are in place that predates the dinosaurs? This is an old place and whatever it is, it changes what we feel and how sound travels. Fuller, richer, more beautiful... 

My expectations ended up being meaningless because I was living the unimaginable. 
I loved playing alongside that Spirit that is Lobo. 
Thank you.

Veridium - Spirit Train Wed Night - AfrikaBurn 2017

Sunday Session

FREE DOWNLOAD

Bridging African vocals and essence with deep melodic tunes. A delicate balance between my African roots and the complex layers of music that electronica brings. This is a set for quiet reflection and the occasional urge to get down and boogie, just a little. 

A lot of these tracks I played this summer at Grand Africa on the beach here in South Africa. Perfect venue to reflect and take things all in.

Enjoy the complex Flavors of Sea, Sky and Dust....
