Te amo Liquid Blom 💖💃💃💃💃🔥🔥🔥

WE love you 🩷🩷👈 Thank u for your beautiful music

As I was pulling together some songs for this Ecstatic Dance set I realized it has been 22 years since I first started to collect vinyl and DJ. 
So in celebration of this journey I decided to dip back into some classic artists and tunes that have inspired be over the decades. 
...As well as sprinkling in some freshness, a few cheeky mashups, and a few of my own too, of course. 
Enjoy!

Liquid Bloom Dj Set @ Ozora Hungary 2023

Tender hearts and connected souls, we proudly announce the first official release of Sonic Samadhi. An ambient favorite that has slowly grown over time and is just now blossoming for the world.

Open Ancient Eyes has become a leading top album that we have chosen to feature here because of the mythic blueprint it holds. OAE was always designed with an ambient journey in mind and here she is, 11 years later.

A very very special celebratory moment for us all. You're invited to take a sublime melodic journey dedicated to gently welcoming you into the present moment, consciously connecting you, and expanding into the infinite.

Liquid Bloom @ Being Gathering 2024 (Ambient Sound Journey)

As the final notes of the inaugural Sanctuary Music Festival at TreeCasa Resort in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, faded into the night, this closing Liquid Bloom DJ set encapsulated the spirit of the weekend. Beginning with organic mid-tempo house, the journey gradually intensified, weaving through world drum and bass and psychedelic bass, before gently descending into a serene ambient landing. This progression mirrored the festival's ethos of music, adventure, and connection, leaving attendees with a profound sense of unity and fulfillment.

Immense gratitude to all who embarked on this sonic voyage, contributing to an unforgettable conclusion to our first year. Here's to the memories created and the anticipation of future gatherings at this magical sanctuary.

Liquid Bloom Dj Set @ Sanctuary Festival Nicaragua

Just days before Summer Solstice, Liquid Bloom performed a powerful set inside Meow Wolf Denver’s Numina exhibit as part of a sold-out PORTAL event during the Psychedelic Science conference. This unique night brought together a global web of psychonauts, artists, and seekers inside the surreal dreamscape of Convergence Station.

Following a rare and beautiful DJ set from East Forest, Liquid Bloom guided a journey from ambient and downtempo into bass, drum & bass, and tribal midtempo—culminating in a high-energy blend of house rhythms and ecstatic movement. A live surprise from Poranguí added soul-stirring vocals to the mix, and a closing invocation from Ram Dass gently brought the spaceship back to Earth.

For nearly two decades, Amani Friend has been at the helm of the global-electronic project Liquid Bloom. Feeling equally at home on the international festival dance circuit, in the yoga studio, and in the more subtle sonic spaces reserved for intentional ceremonies guided by ancient allies, the wide-ranging artist collective under the umbrella of the Liquid Bloom project spans distance, time, and dimensions of the mind.

As one half of Desert Dwellers, Amani brings his dance floor guidance and experience to harness a deeper, transportive journey, giving as much weight to calm and the serene as to the ecstatic groove. As founder of Liquid Bloom, he has guided the project through its many lives, and its many rebirths at the hands of remixers AtYyA, Hedflux, Numatik, and Mose to name a few. Joining Amani on stage and in the studio is one-man looping orchestra Poranguí, whose own globe-trotting journey has made his musical upbringing as varied as the instruments he lays before him. A Liquid Bloom performance with the Brazilian-born, U.S.-based artist sees him bounce between didgeridoo, kalimba, and vocals with ease, as he celebrates percussion and instruments from around the world in a dizzying collection.

The Liquid Bloom experience unfolds in a multitude of incarnations. Amani is able to craft deep, entrancing journeys during his solo DJ sets. As a duo, Amani and Poranguí are able to balance and weave the organic and the electronic within their performances. With multi-instrumentalists, singers, and performers like Kaminanda, Deya Dova, Shamans Dream, and Ixchel Prisma, the Liquid Bloom live band springs to life, bringing the catalogue into view through an entirely different lens and bursting with a vibrancy and depth of artistic harmony.

Blending world music with cutting-edge sound design, Amani Friend has amassed an enormous catalog between his projects Desert Dwellers, Liquid Bloom, and Variant Field. Traveling the international festival circuit and staying on the road with a jam-packed schedule, AMANI continues to bring his alchemy of ancient-future psychedelia to dance floors around the globe. Equally adept at sonically fueling the spirit of large yoga classes or high-energy dance floors, Amani’s sonic offerings provide a journey into the imaginative realms of movement and sound.
