Johan brings you: The power of the present moment in the form of slow, dark & growling psychedelic techno.

We can experience nothing but the present moment, live in no other time, and to understand this is as close as we can get to eternal life.

The Power of Now

Residing in the Netherlands in 2023 afforded me the opportunity to explore an array of dance floors, from the tranquil psychedelic lakeside shores of Portugal to the northern Germanic and Polish countryside.

This set is heavily inspired by the magical moments experienced on all of these dance floors, with special mention to the Saga dance floor at Bucht der Traümer Festival, Funky Beach at Boom Festival and all the special friends I met along the way. 

Surrender to the universe, surrender to the present moment, surrender to the music, and willingly participate in life's dance with a quiet mind and an open heart. 

Recording with love from NSW, Australia.

Radical Acceptance

Born in the Australian Blue Mountains & raised along the East coast, it was inevitable that Johan would be drawn to the sound of the Australian bush. 

Upon returning to his home of South Africa as a teenager, his unique musical resonance began to take form.

Drawing inspiration from, yet not tethered to, Australia's progressive theatrical organic psychedelic noises, South Africa's House music and psychedelic trance community and the natural melodious down-tempo echoes emanating from festivals around the world. 

Currently between the East coast of Australia & South Africa's Garden Route.

Consciously experiencing the flow of life.

Johan.
