Features & Appearances

Dear fellow humans. Please take a moment to read this. 

Down unders  is metamorphosing into underneath, same frequencies, going deeper. This downtempo set was meant to happen live in the Maxa Deer, alongside epic musicians and their instruments on the Friday sunset of Burning Man 2023, yet we had to surrender to a storm that humbled us all and gave us a true rebirth. So we decided to still create a set to elevate a powerful message and we are deeply honored to raise these spiraling frequencies of wisdom to the world through the Maxa Platform that is true family to us.  
Our inspiration for this DownUnders chapter is the collective metamorphosis we are navigating. We cannot deny It feels dark, so It’s more important than ever to keep our hearts open and connect to our craft, as a way to maintain our inner harmony in balance through the turbulence of a wild world. 

This musical journey also reflects the depths of intentionality beating in the heart of Maxa which are now birthing to light for the community. As much passion as we have for electronic music that makes us fly on a dancefloor, we are also widening the spectrum and welcoming other angles of musical craft which can delight our ears in a slow and loving way that speaks to our soul. 

It is so important for us to hear which parts of this journey resonate with you, so If you have something powerful to share in the comments please do so. Now, we do support free expression, yet are also sensitive to the fact that we are all overwhelmingly flooded by dual information in all platforms, so we kindly share… this is by NO means a space to take sides or express political opinions, we will NOT tolerate flags or any kind of propaganda in the comments, this is merely a universal expression of love and a calling for unity through music, so with all our hearts help us get spread the message in a peaceful and harmonious way.

The day will come where we get to share in flesh from the echoes of the Maxa Deer in Black Rock City.

For now, here is another 4 hour immersion into music and poetry to inspire you through the Spirals of Growth. 

Much love 

Zohar & Unders

A voyage through deep space to inner stillness...

Originally, we had prepared to share this meditative sonic experience at the Texas Eclipse Festival just before sundown after the eclipse. Mother Nature had other plans, and after parting the clouds to let us marvel in totality, she sent a storm our way, ending the festival early and sending us back to Austin. There we were blessed with the perfect space to share this cosmic journey. 

After weeks of rehearsing and a truly transformative time at the festival, it was a fitting end to gather with family, friends, and fellow eclipse chasers in the auditorium of @casadeluz_atx for this much-needed integration. Whether you attended the festival or not, we hope you enjoy this 90-minute voyage - a collaboration between @jacqui.mateo and @__souland__ featuring the gong, vocals, and space cello. Listen to the set however you feel called - but if you can find a comfortable space to sit or lay down with headphones or nice speakers and close your eyes we’d recommend it. 

With love,
- Jac, Matt, and Mike

Big thanks to @billycaso for helping master the mix and @thecraighensel for capturing this incredible eclipse shot

Texas Eclipse Sound Journey (Live) - Jacqui Mateo & SouLand

Beyond excited to share my set from Fusion Festival with @saiklon-music.

This ambient journey with improvised electric cello unfolded Friday in the late morning hours during the break between dances at the Velvet Soup stage in the Bachstelzen woods. Our soundscape moved in sync with the weather, or perhaps the other way around, shifting from cloudy to a light rain, then downpour, and at last the return of the sun at the end of this 90 minute voyage. To everyone that huddled close and persisted through the rain with us, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. This was an experience we will never forget. 

Special thanks to @kenchowaudio for his mastering magic and @billycaso & @bachstelzen for making this surreal moment possible.
