Scoubi - Rêve (Long Play)

Blooming Heart gathering.. ahh my favorite type of event. It's basically a blissed utopia on an island in the NW in the summer. Doesn't get much better for me. This set was late night until shortly before sunrise.. outdoors by the tea lounge. I listen to ambient music about as much as I listen to music with beats so this is a big part of my life, stoked to share it with you! I'll be playing an ambient set (with live flute) in the main chill area for sunrise on Sunday morning at Imagine Festival the weekend of August 17th: http://imagineorcasisland.com/

Luke Mandala, Mandala Affect - Chill Set at BLOOMING HEART 2016

Originally a set I prepared for a Los Angeles-based underground party series called Another Ridiculous Party in 2015. I recorded my set that night and then took it into the studio for further enhancements. The focus is definitely more of an energetic bass music sound than most of my mixes, given the context and lineup of that night.

Mastered to perfection by Dennis Bunton aka @iondriver.

Tracklist:

1. Anchor Hill - Giridhar
2. Quanta - Create Culture
3. Supersillyus - The Proof is in the Pudding (ft. Adam Psybe)
4. Mote - Lamentation
5. Plantrae - Enter the Seed
6. Tipper - Table Flipping
7. Somatoast - Microportal
8. Bwoy De Bhajan - Mubar Camel Liquor
9. Auma - The Old Magick
10. Bluetech - 667 (Kalya Scintilla Mix)
11. Akasha Experience - Liquid Grip
12. Moon Frog - Spirit Animal
13. Kodomo - Concept 1
14. Kalya Scintilla - Way of the Tarot
15. Kaya Project - Nightflower (Kaya Project rmx)
16. KiloWatts - Mother of Thousands

OUT NOW! Luke Mandala, David Dewey, Morpheus - The Hamilton [It's A Ten] [Digital Structures]

So, aside from my usual electrocoustic bass-centric musical ramblings, I've been working on another project for about the past 3 years with my brother, http://soundcloud.com/brynburnell.  We call this project "Dersu Uzala", named after a russian film made in the late 70's.   It's a mish mash of live recorded piano, bass, guitar, melodica, percussion and other various soundscapes and field recordings and vocals from my good friend Malky Taylor.   

This is the first track from the album - "All Is Not Lost".   Remix to follow soon from http://soundcloud.com/auma.

And check out this clip made by Field Carr.

I found this old live mix collecting digital dust in my archives. It's the first hour and change of a live set I played at a Moontribe Full Moon Gathering in November 2017.

The tracks are mostly more energetic downtempo, good for dancing.

Tracklist:

1. Supersillyus - A List of Instructions for When I'm Human
2. Aligning Minds - Ether Perfect
3. Griff - Upper
4. Hypnagog - Micro-Cosmic
5. Auma - Blue Skin Reflect (Griff's Refracted Mix)

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.
