Mixed Bag

Lyla – live from District 19 in Karachi, Pakistan.

Lyla | Boiler Room: Pakistan

A little optional note for those that find this mix:

I recently realized I haven't released a proper 'mixed' set in years - mostly due to having a lack of easy access to equipment & studio spaces over the last 4 years + also just zero m0tivation to even DJ sometimes.

I don't record my live sets because I don't know, it feels like those experiences should be for that moment. I am lovingggg playing music again and have been inspired, so I decided to record something close to how I've been feeling. 

Thought I'd make a little thing of hints of what I play. There are lots of little blends that might not make sense - I considered editing them but decided to leave it raw because I was probs having fun messing around (:

Those Are My Feelings (unfiltered)

“Life starts to look like one great big
movie, and you are the unmoved Witness watching the show. Happiness
arises, you witness it; joy arises, you witness it; pain arises, you witness
it; sorrow arises, you witness it. In all cases, you are the Witness, and
not some passing surface wave of silly sound and fury. At the center of
the cyclone, you are safe. A deep and inward peace begins to haunt you;
you can no longer manufacture turmoil with quite the same conviction.
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t feel desire, hurt, pain, joy, happi¬
ness, suffering, or sorrow. You can still feel all of those; they just don’t
convince you. Again, it’s like being at the movies. Sometimes you get so
caught up in what is happening on screen that you forget it’s just a
movie. At a thriller, you might actually become frightened; at a romance,
you might start crying. Then your friend leans over and says. Hey,
lighten up, it’s just a movie, it’s not real! And you snap out of it.” - ken wilber 1996
