Heart of the Shamans is a divinely crafted sonic prayer, a ritual transport into the heart of the universe. The finely tuned arrangements of music producer Amani Friend are skillfully interwoven with threads of global rhythms, natural atmospheres and enchanting vocals, arousing in the listener a desire to merge with the medicine of the soul. Heart of the Shamans intentionally evokes a cyclical, visionary journey through the body’s energy centers, and is a tapestry of sound, inspirited with ancient lineages and ancestral depths; from the ceremonial dances in the deserts and pueblos of New Mexico to the traditions of the Amazon jungles. 

Heart of the Shamans features ceremonial medicine songs intended for healing and trance journeying. The outstanding sound artists who contributed to this project are some of the same as in the first Liquid Bloom album, Shaman’s Eye: Robert Mirabal’s Taos flutes and Native chanting; the sacred medicine songs of the vocalist Ixchel Prrisma; the ethereal vocals of Sarah West; the overtone singing of Rara Avis; and the didgeridoo, percussion and nature recordings of Amani Friend, who also provides the overall sound design, production and framework for the compositions and arrangements.

Ceremony Of The Heart - Demo Sample

ARYA emerged from a calling to co-create dance experiences that awaken the body, stir the soul, and celebrate the beauty of being alive.

His sets are fluid, emotionally charged journeys that blend groovy baselines, deep house, elegant techno, and melodic textures. Guided by intuition and collective energy, ARYA shapeshifts across genres while staying true to a single thread: every set must hold beauty. Whether it's tension, grief, euphoria, or desire, his music creates space for it all.

Born in Indonesia, raised between Southeast Asia and Europe, ARYA’s sound reflects a deep cultural fluency and a lived-in sense of contrast. His journey has led him through underground raves, desert temples, sunrise festivals, and sacred dance floors across Singapore, Bali, Burning Man, Peru, Mexico, and now Berlin, where his universe continues to evolve.

Rooted in emotional resonance and sensual pulse, ARYA’s universe is built on deeper truth and beauty.

Liquid Bloom, founded by producer Amani Friend (Desert Dwellers | Desert Trax), is a visionary world-electronic project that bridges ancient traditions with modern production to create immersive, transformative sound journeys. Emerging in the late ’90s from explorations in organic trance for healing, it has grown into a global vessel for ceremony, dance, and inner exploration, merging shamanic instrumentation, ethereal vocals, and sacred world traditions with cutting-edge electronics. 

Collaborating with artists like Poranguí, Mose, Deya Dova, Ixchel Prisma, and Savej, Liquid Bloom has appeared at international festivals such as Ozora, Boom, Envision, and Rainbow Serpent, while also serving as a soundtrack for breathwork, psychedelic therapy, cacao ceremonies, and ecstatic dance gatherings. Its music, which has featured voices like Paul Stamets, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Ram Dass, continues to offer sonic sanctuaries for healing, connection, and transformation.
