Such a beautiful set! Thank you so much for having me up there to play, definitely a top 3 highlight from last summer!

Future Engineers, they  have their own style :)

LETS GO! This must have been amazing live in the woods! Vibes are Incredible as always Luke!

My Daily Vibe

Here's the recording of my set, which was around 3pm at this beautiful peninsula on the river in the warm sunshine in Eugene, Oregon. It was more of a lounge atmosphere for the first part of the set (not dancy) and then people started dancing later in the set.

Vibes were AWESOME on this day, we are extra stoked on how this turned out. So grateful for my friends and nature!

Luke Mandala Live At The River  - 3pm Sunlight & Warmth Swimming Funz

This is my first recorded downtempo set, on a lazy August night.  I hope you like it. PS. I'm a DJ now.

Ladyboss – Izzy on the Ears

The evolution continues...as does the rain!

Opening night at Wonky Town was a vibe and a half, the space was a wonderland begging everyone to come play full to the brim with games, interactive installations, a cosy lamp lit lounge and all sorts of other shenanigans 

It was an honour and a privilege to play on a purpose built stage compliments of the festival and Fulcrum Designs in lieu of Sheila no longer being with us - May she forever rest in bass...

Also worth noting for full transparency and celebration of my musical journey that it was my first time performing live directly on the decks sans laptop and controller which was a whole new world in terms of convenience but all wrapped up in the kinda nerves I thought were behind me

Looking forward to continuing the learning process, experimenting with the weaving and manipulating of sound drawing inspiration from those in the know around me and as always with the highest level of gratitude and respect for the original creators

Here is my set from EuDream's 2022 summer campout called EuJuice. My friends and I produced that event, very much immersed in nature in the woods and stars. 

It's got some unreleased tracks (including track one which I'm about to find a label for), half drum and bass and the rest is multi genre stuff. 

Thank you to everyone who was a part of that event, my community is my heart and it keeps it beating well... deep baselines included <3

Luke Mandala / Mandala Affect @ EuDream Campout 2022

Got at least a few unreleased tracks of mine in here and a couple that was the first time I ever played them... so fun! Upcoming releases with Dreaming Awake, Alien Breakdance, Uniting Souls, Activated, etc. 

I recorded the room as well so the sounds of the crowd hootin' and hollarin' are integrated into the set. 

This is an event we threw at The Big Dirty in Eugene. We are super grateful that it turned out to exceed our expectations <3 It had plenty of April Fool's day mischief as well!

LUKE MANDALA Live @ Mischief @ The Big Dirty ~ April Fool's Day

3:30pm, outdoors in a super gorgeous desert with a big view of snow capped mountains. I was under the impression that the following act was going to be a downtempo act, so I planned a set accordingly. Then during my set I found out that it wasn't going to be a chill out set after me, so I picked much of this on the fly.  

Here’s my Moontribe story and quite how much of an impact MT has had on my life, music, other collectives I’m involved with, sound systems, etc. Happy 30 year anniversary to the legendary moontribe family!

From ‘98 to about ‘09 I basically didn’t know anyone who played and made music like me… some styles of melodic/psychedelic/deep/adventurous and experimental music. Some people call it weird but to me it’s not weird. It’s home, adventure, expanding, ever-changing, creative and bliss. Before I found out about Moontribe, I basically planned on being a Northwest weirdo in my adventures with this sound.

I heard of the mystical, highly respected and “secret” Moontribe for years but didn’t ever get a chance to go…then found some MT mixes which became favorites as I related so much. Treavor Moontribe/Treavor Moontribe started releasing some of my music and asked me to come play a MT reunion.

It felt like I found my long lost soul family. MT has been one of my biggest inspirations for music, etc. because of the open minded musical perspective at the gatherings, feedback I get from Moontribers in person and online, playing certain tracks I make that only work at MT, sustainable event production, locations interacting with nature, the high potentials of happiness from community/security/health, sound system capability, I could go on and on… I can’t thank the MT family enough for the massive amount of happiness and inspiration it has spread to so many people!!! 🙏🏻
Here’s a video of my track “Cocoon Bliss” at 30 year reunion. It’s coming out on Treavor’s label Alien Breakdance.

Luke Mandala Live @ Moontribe 30 Year Anniversary

Happy to share this 12-2am set with you guys from one of the funnest events I've played in a while. They did a great job with this event and it fully popped off...as you can hear from the crowd (we recorded the crowd as well). 

I was playing some wind instruments and a drum pad and I'm finally getting a mix out that was recorded with a show with those instruments included. 

All the love to the Esthetic Evolution fam, treefort fest, and to you for the support!

Luke Mandala At Treefort Fest March : 2024 (Esthetic Evolution Stage)

A collection of recent favourites to help you get your groove on..

Go that deep

The following fiction is true: Cowboy Noir, Spaghetti Westerns, Smokey Vocals, Country Blues, Lizard Kings, Storm Riders, Deep House and all...:

So "as the story goes":

"It was sometime back in 1962, when I found myself piloting a wheezing old Ford station wagon, feeling not just disoriented but positively misplaced on the dusty byways to Joshua Tree. The washboard roads shook my bones and rattled my teeth, so the accidental discovery of the sole watering hole in that barren wasteland was like stumbling upon an oasis. Despite its forlornly desiccated and saturnine exterior, the lonely backroads bar was an outpost that promised the desperate kind of salvation only dire needs can summon: Ritual libations. A stiff drink, and a moment's respite.

As I pushed through the nameless saloon’s swinging double doors, they creaked open to reveal an astonishing sight: Johnny Cash, Jim Morrison, Ennio Morricone, and Hope Sandoval, all seated together at the bar, deep in their cups. Behind the counter stood Barnett, the bartender, a sly vision of dry humor and endless spirits. They spotted my lonely silhouette and, with drunken enthusiasm, beckoned me to join their spirited symposium.
What followed was a cacophonous marathon of intemperance and debate, as we discoursed basslines and bourbon, whisky and women, UFOs and poetry, guitars and remixes, and…deep house.

The outcome of that wild and chewy night? This mix—a tribute to your culturally errant wanderings, a testament to “stepping into yes”, the uncharted paths we stumble upon…and the unexpected that ensues".

The beauty of sharing this home recording in lieu of the live set is that it gave me the ability to leave a number of tracks intact with their original flow and integrity rather than slicing, dicing or skipping along to squeeze everything into my allocated time slot. 

On that note, ran out of time to play the final track I had hoped but it is so so beautiful and fitting to the event i've chosen to include it in hopes it still reaches the ears of who might need to hear it <3

Luke’s dynamic live act includes playing a mixture of electronic and acoustic music while mixing in multiple live wind instruments and live drumming. His lifelong devotion to community dance medicine started at age 14 in 1998 when he started to DJ at northwest USA raveriffic events! He then started touring the world and releasing hundreds of songs released with a large number of the biggest labels in the world like Selador, Desert Hearts, Digital Structures, Dreaming Awake, Desert Trax, Booka Shade Music. 

This is deep piscean scorpio music, sprinkled with unusual sounds, unexpected twists, eclectic mix of global sounds, various tempos and grooves. It reflects stories of love-driven culture and open-minded ideas.  Depending on the crowd, the sets can vary from being pretty and uplifting to deep, dark, and primal, although they typically feature melodic and atmospheric textures infused with a lot of emotion.  Luke also has a functional (natural, root cause) medicine practice as this weaves so beautiful with dance and music medicine. He helps people heal frequent issues of the gut, metabolism and tiredness. 

Luke’s songs have been played by legends like Sasha, James Zabiela, Boris Brejcha, Solomon, Desert Dwellers, Dave Seaman, Kaya Project, and BLOND:ISH.
