I got on my bike today and made a spontaneous mix honoring of Albert Hofmann's  magnificent moment in history, 80 years ago.
This global psychedelicatessen of elevating, knotty, percolating, pulsing and squidgy bassliness is woven with a smorgasbord of flavor. Low-end basscapades, traditional horn lines and global soundplay all meet up with  the skank and stutter of dub reggae vibes for a mesmerizing entanglement with psychedelic sound design.

ALBERT HOFMANN'S BIG DAY OUT - A PSYCHEDELIC GLOBAL DUB RIDE: AN 80TH ANNIVERSARY  MIX!

This is a live recording of my set from the Ambyss stage at Ozora in August 2023. The stage, curated masterfully by Bodó Márton, has a freedom to its flow, with everything from beatless ambient to world folk music to gentle beats. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the gentler and spacier regions of my library for this one.

"This mix was made during a period of introspection, as I faced significant life changes necessitating tough decisions. Anchored by the belief that intuition is the most reliable compass, I found this notion simmering within my thoughts and emotions as I curated each track in the setlist, which is why it is called "The Heart Knows." Such pivotal moments frequently come tinged with emotional unrest. To help soothe my soul, I incorporated a selection of emotionally restorative melodies that currently resonate with me. My hope is that this mix will envelop you in a sanctuary of soothing rhythms and soulful nourishment, guiding you through your own periods of reflection."

Kino Doscun - Inner Dub

Ecstatic Dance Bondi 03.04.25

Just days before Summer Solstice, Liquid Bloom performed a powerful set inside Meow Wolf Denver’s Numina exhibit as part of a sold-out PORTAL event during the Psychedelic Science conference. This unique night brought together a global web of psychonauts, artists, and seekers inside the surreal dreamscape of Convergence Station.

Following a rare and beautiful DJ set from East Forest, Liquid Bloom guided a journey from ambient and downtempo into bass, drum & bass, and tribal midtempo—culminating in a high-energy blend of house rhythms and ecstatic movement. A live surprise from Poranguí added soul-stirring vocals to the mix, and a closing invocation from Ram Dass gently brought the spaceship back to Earth.

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.
