Ryan Herr & Yemanjo - Away (Original Mix)

By Anand from "www.TheUntz.com" - Time to take a journey, kiddos. We've been blessed with a brand new remix of The Human Experience's "Ritual" by Australian tribal trance shaman Kalya Scintilla. Deep, sexy bass ducks and weaves through intricately laced organic drums--thuds and reverberations of animal skins stretched tightly across warm wood. Darkness and light is balanced impeccably amongst hypnotic grooves. The close connection between David Block and Yaygon Lamagaia is instantly recognizable in the depth of attention and care the latter gives to the former's source material. You can catch Kalya Scintilla this Thursday, when he hits Cervantes with Kaminanda for Bluetech's Spacehop stop, and over the weekend at Gem & Jam Festival in Tucson, AZ.

The Human Experience - Ritual (Kalya Scintilla's Sacred Remix) featuring EveOlution

Here's my new single out on Desert Dwellers​' label Desert Trax. We put on a remix contest for this and the three winners are listed on Beatport (including 19-year-old Doan from Vietnam!), as well as a remix from Terrakroma​.  Especially when it’s drenched in reverb :) It's a Native American flute (F# Heart Chakra), I love playing this flute so much! The first two minutes of the track are that flute solo, which I chopped up for the rest of the song. Beatport link: https://pro.beatport.com/release/dancers-of-the-dawn-of-now/1463309

There's was also a "name this track" contest for this track and "Dancers Of The Dawn Of Now" won. Thanks Caree Shuman!

Häana - Phavet (Soul Potion Remix)

Cassette Blog proudly presents the debut EP - The Worlds Between by Jyun Jyun. 
"Wonderful melodic and instrumental flights arrive from across the world and intermingle in an unprejudiced, fresh way in this EP.  Melodies that raise the hairs on your skin. Instrumental hip hop with powerful beats that never become aggressive, and certain doses of oriental energy that appear both in their original sonority and subliminally through the phrases of each song. That's what "The World's Between" is, Jyun Jyun's new EP that feels like a long dip in a lake in the middle of nature.

CHANG'E

Drawing listeners into the sensuous atmospheres and windswept soundscapes of nomadic world-fusion, Breath is the fourth elemental entry in the electro-mystical odyssey that is Desert Dwellers’ iconic Downtemple Dub collection. A caravan of musical heritage that infuses the open energy of slow house grooves and tribal rhythms with the evocative beauty of global folk melodies, this sonic odyssey is an exotic exploration of hypnotic vocals, seductive instrumentation, and stirring psychedelic progressions. Bridging the ambient serenity of a deep meditation with the indulgent motion of ecstatic dance, Breath manifests as a soothing breeze in one moment and a whirling tempest in the next. 

Continuing in the spirit of cultural celebration pioneered by Desert Dwellers producers Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, Breath weaves visionary sounds from around the world into a musical tapestry highlighted by contributions from multilingual lyricist Meagan Chandler, Middle Eastern vocalist Ricadin, Madi Sato, and Darpan. Enriched by imaginative instrumentals from Drumspyder, HÄANA, Lynda Arnold, Paul Livingstone, and a range of other musical virtuosos, Breath is a dance across language and sound that calls attention to the universal power of music to dissolve the borders and boundaries of modern culture.

Dreams Within A Dream

Embarking on their second collaborative endeavor, the Italian beat makers and multi- instrumentalists, Halfred and Lo.Renzo further solidify their close working relationship with their first EP as Jakare. Released on Desert Trax, Jakare’s ‘Apu’ EP is the culmination of all that’s dear about both artists’ creative vision, blending intricate technical design with melodic tenderness and biophilic atmospherics. The artists’ choice to pursue these 
new avenues of shamanic downtempo music reflects their willingness to start afresh under a new alias and pursue experimentation without the pre- conceived associations with their solo projects. 
In the course of four songs, the duo paint a truly vivid picture of ancient life in nature and taking inspiration from different modern cultures; from the slight nod to the bluesy Latin American marshes of ‘Cleansing’, Andean flavors on ‘Glass Temple’, the instrumental grooves of ‘GloBall’ and aquatic night time swims in ‘Moon Howl’, the EP stays consistent in its overall aesthetic and harmoniousness throughout. The duo utilize charango, classic guitars, electric guitar, pan flute, shakers, percussions to bring the organic sound, while relying on their masterful sound design techniques to develop 
cinematic field-recording- based atmospherics. 
Apu arrives on Desert Trax May 31st. Jakare will also debut their live show at Spain’s Own Spirit festival this summer. Get ready to grow leaves out your ears!
