ZIKR PROJECT brings together acclaimed veteran global music producer and composer JEF STOTT and master musician and composer MAH ZE TAR in collaboration on a fusion of modern cinematic ambient music with the mystical traditions of the Near East. 

Working with rich musical traditions on a wide array of instruments from Iran, Turkey and North Africa, played live by both members of the group, the ZIKR PROJECT presents a deep musical journey within each track, evoking the spinning of dervishes, Rumi’s reveries and ancient sacred traditions. This is medicine music for modern mystics. 

The mystical ney flute of the Sufi tradition, trance rhythms of ancient ceremony, ambient vocal echoes of distant lands, and the iconic melodies of the oud, rebab and saz come together in harmony with masterful and deep sonic landscapes. The music presented guides us to go deep into meditative space while inviting the somatic body to move along in sacred synchronized movement.

Each composition from ZIKR PROJECT will be explored and expanded through alternative ambient and ecstatic dance remixes that will cover the wide range of this profound and beautiful mystical music.

This three song EP offers three different versions of the new composition Dünya. Nearly 25 minutes of music.
Dünya - (Kisa Mix)
Dünya - Soul of the World (Extended Mix)
Dünya - Ocean in the Drop (Ambient Mix)

Dünya, the second release from Jef Stott and Mah Ze Tar of the Zikr Project is a deep sonic invocation of all that is sacred within the Earthly realms. Medicine music for the modern mystic.
The cry of the ney flute and plaintive vocals from Mah Ze Tar are supported by deep ceremonial frame drum rhythms and lush soundscapes to create the perfect sound track for medicine journeys that honor the Earth. 

The term Dünya ( دُنْيا ) which is used throughout the Islamic world in several languages refers to the temporal world and its earthly concerns and possessions. The Zikr project releases this collection of related music with the hope of bringing the healing power of the Earth into our homes and our spirits.

Please share this music with your beloved and community!

Zen Baboon - Electric Bird

A year after the release of his debut full-length album, Omens & Artifacts, KEY-G returns to Desert Trax. With a high-energy, sprawling album, “EP” is hardly an appropriate term for a collection of songs, each more than 7 minutes and some topping out around 12 minutes, which gives Curled Up Dimensions a double album feel.

“Half of Nothing” propels the listener into the album with a psystep sound and a double time beat. Fans of Birds of Paradise will get their midtempo fix on “Quantum Strikes.” The title track gets into the Ott zone with a dubby feel, and “Unleashing the Forces Within” stays in the dub realm, but soars as an uplifting gem. The lone collaboration on the album is “Pinpricks of Light” which returns to the hard-hitting psybreaks realm. “Ascension Upgrade” truly tickles the Shpongle fans who demands an extra helping of bass.

Curled Up Dimensions is out November 30 on Desert Trax.

Shankara - Life on Earth 
A breakout New Zealand duo makes its Desert Trax debut in early 2019. Shankara is bringing its 5-track EP,Life On Earth, to Desert Dwellers' label with plenty of psy-breaks, dub, and glitch.A surefire hit for fans of bioLumigen, Kalya Scintilla, and fellow Kiwi, Grouch,Brendan Evans and Elijah Wilson-Kelly have a sound that will catch on in the Stateside psychedelic scene. Opening with a remix of Drumspyder's “Salamander,” this EP covers quite a bit of glitch-hop ground with “Holy Cow” and “Terrestrial Birth.” The pair have studied their influences closely, and have succeeded in forging their own path with the knowledge they have gained. We even get a Latin flair in “Planck Epoch,” and close the collection of tracks with the most bass-infused track, “Troglobite.”Life On Earth is slated for a January 11th release on Desert Trax

Shankara - Holy Cow

A reflective journey through more than a decade of sound born from the spirit of Liquid Bloom and friends, ambient music producer Tylepathy opens the sonic portal to cosmic wanderers and inner explorers with his ethereal and soothing ‘One With Nature’ remix album. Suspended in the boundless space beyond beats, this eight-track collection showcases a holographic dimension contained within all Liquid Bloom productions and invites listeners to bathe in the relaxing medium of pure ambient sound. As we are whisked from one elemental landscape to another, we are reminded of the power of the mind to shape supportive spaces with even the most subtle of inspirations, making ‘One With Nature’ not only a potent tool for meditation and personal healing, but a testament to the vast and creative forces of human consciousness
