Pandhora - DHL Mix #225 (Deep Psychedelia Live Act)

After a week of adventures with countless smiles and laughs it was time for me to play at the majestic Cobra Cana stage. For the whole week, this stage was bouncing with energy non-stop. From day one it was building this incredible and unique vibe, something I have never experienced before. It was mental.

The last day that we all saw the Cobra (before they burned the structure) our Peacocks crew consisting of TantRut, Lev Tatarov, Deep Schismic, Joep Mencke, Rammo and the Parallells had the honour to play there and host the last party. And, ohhhh what a party we had. 

Inspired by the light of the stars, the intense energy of the dancefloor, and all the incredible outfits of the people, I felt I was on another planet and so my music.

Enjoy this my friends!

Love,
VANDER

VANDER @ AfrikaBurn 2019 [Cobra Cabana]

Vyvyan is an elusive character, a DJ and producer who prefers to operate under the radar. At the end of last year he showcased his tastes and influences in a mix or Bicep's Feel My Bicep mix series which gave listeners a glimpse into both his record bag and his own productions. Having delivered remixes for Psychemagik and Eclectic, last week saw the release of his new EP Coat Bra Pants on Me Me Me which includes remixes from Not An Animal's Chris Stoker and Robert Johnson resident Gerd Janson.

We invited him to deliver this week's Monday Is OK mix which flows through experimental, beatless rhythms; the music that soundtracks his home listening sessions...

Vyvyan: The 'Monday Is Ok' Mix

This is the soundtrack I made for the Psychedelic Breath session I did with the amazing Eva Kaczor at The Monastery Festival of The Gardens of Babylon. 

I can still see myself standing there, overlooking that beautiful big barn. This was for sure one of the most powerful musical experiences I have ever experienced on stage. Normally during my sets I have the tendency to fly. The music takes me away, energies rise, and I enter a state of flow where everything just happens naturally. This is a beautiful thing! What made this sound journey so different was that instead of flying I was feeling very grounded. This groundedness enabled me to really deeply experience this journey and it’s impact on us. Sharing this with so many people at the same time makes it so much stronger.   

It is crazy how something so fundamental to our lives, our breath, becomes such a powerful tool when used consciously. This technique is a shortcut to enter a sort of dreamy state in your brain, in which you are neither awake nor asleep: the theta state. This meditative state is the gateway to your creativity, learning and intuition, and it allows you to access the power of your unconscious mind.

PSYCHEDELIC BREATH is Eva Kaczor’s own mix of dynamic breathing techniques from ancient traditions and contemporary science fused with evocative electronic music sets, she creates in collaboration with artists such as Acid Pauli and Birds of Mind. Both, deep breathing as well as electronic music, have the power to alter your state of consciousness and let you access higher realms of awareness. 

I was deeply touched by the reactions after the session. I have never seen so many people in tears of love and joy. Thank you

There are 11 cycles in the sound journey each cycle consisting of dynamic and relaxing sections. In the dynamic sections there is a deep beat you breathe intensely. The relaxing section is more ambient and you let your breath out and then finally hold it in before you enter the dynamic section of the new cycle. If you listen carefully you can hear a windchime/bell which indicates that the journey is moving into the next dynamic or relaxing section. Enjoy

Frank Music boss and Renate resident @johannesalbert delivers a house driven mix of original material.

Self-Portrait: Johannes Albert

Paris-based project 404 - not to be confused with the London hip hop punksters of the same name - came together recently after operating individually in the French electronic music scene.

Their diverse inspirations and interests create a sound that is much greater than the sum of its parts; it's machine-driven music with nods to IDM, dub, krautrock and jazz, that they translate through immersive performances using image and sound.

This week's mix is a live recording of a set they played in Nantes for Abstract Records' Release Party, a French label that they'll be releasing their next EP on...
