Weird and Wonderful @ Mycology

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)

Reimagined Legacies is a collection of 12 transformative remixes from Amani of Liquid Bloom, created for a diverse group of visionary artists spanning the realms of medicine music, world fusion, and psychedelic electronica.

Featuring reimagined tracks from Nessi Gomes, Poranguí, Shaman’s Dream & Geometrae, Kaya Project, Deya Dova, Temple Step Project, Somatoast, The Guardians, and Desert Dwellers, this compilation honors the essence of each original piece while weaving them into immersive new sonic landscapes.

Blending Amani's solo remix work with collaborative creations alongside Bloomurian, PERE, Tribone, and Spice Traders, the collection moves fluidly through deep house, organic bass, psychedelic downtempo, ambient expanses, and even touches of drum and bass—all while staying rooted in heart-centered, Earth-connected intention.

Whether through the devotional song of Nessi Gomes, the grounded rhythms and chants of Poranguí, or the earthy global grooves of Kaya Project and Deya Dova, Reimagined Legacies invites listeners into a rich tapestry of sound—a grand weaving of the ancient and the future, ceremony and celebration.

Applaundub-Recursive  [Another Concept]

This may be the first official Ecstatic Dance set Amani has posted; "these dances are so enjoyable for me to play, as they require a wide range of styles in order to take the dancers in a bell curve flow.  I really love weaving lots of styles into one set.  Last fall 2017 I recorded my sets from Maui Dance Church, Salt Lake City, and San Diego at Trilogy, but after reviewing them all I settled on this one from Boulder on Feb 6th which was part of a benefit event to help the wildfire victims. I will post the rest on the DD Patreon page though if you are looking for more."
