LOVE LOVE this photo, so happy and it shows!!!

DJ / Live Mixes

With a heart full of gratitude I present the live recording of this progressive & melodic techno set that ripped through the cold desert air at 3:30am. This full moon gathering was one for the books, with top notch music from start to finish and incredibly connected, healing energies and interactions with so many close friends from our tribe. We also danced to remember and celebrate our dear friend Andy Friedman who we lost this month. 

I hope the music touches and moves you, and brings you to that magical place within.

ॐ Live in Love ॐ

Live at Moontribe FMG December 2021

3 hour set in the middle of the day at one of my favorite events. Lots of beautiful people on the dance floor, crazy desert winds at times, great temperature. So grateful for times like these!

Luke Mandala At Moontribe April 2022

This is one of those sets that built up inside me, patiently awaiting its perfect moment. I found a few of these tracks some years ago and was struck by their unique flavor. Slowly but surely I built up my collection of what I would call the "indie-dance / nu-disco" sound. There is plenty of music under the blanket of those genres but much less of it out there that speaks to my personal tastes. I kept my ears open and picked them up one by one. This isn't a style that I will play often, but damn did it feel right on this beautiful sunrise morning in the desert. Smiling faces and dancing bodies radiated love and light, the speaker stacks roared and my heart was full. I hope you enjoy this set at full volume and dance yourself unabashedly into your happy place :)

Sunrise at Moontribe 29 Year Anniversary, Indie-Dance & Nu-Disco

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

Brandroid @ Moontribe March 2023

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

Music to capture the intensity and beauty of 30 years of Full Moon Gatherings. Thank you Moontribe Collective. Thank you Desert. Thank you Full Moon. Thank you Dancers. Thank you Music. Live in Love!!!

Live @ Moontribe 30-Year Anniversary - Night

LIve @ Moontribe 30-Year Anniversary

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.

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’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. Official remixes from artists like Desert Dwellers, Bluetech, Christian Martin, Chloe Harris, Kaminanda, Govinda, Roger Martinez, Pezzner, Robert Babicz, and Deya Dova.
