One of the best ecstatic dance mixes I've heard!

This is an absolutely outstanding mix Luke. Fuck yeah.

🏜️ From the deserts of New Mexico and California,  Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe transport us to the wild jungle of Costa Rica 🌿🎶 Relive @desertdwellers ' live set at Luna Stage! 🌟✨

A message from them:

“Over the past decade, we've embarked on a remarkable musical journey, traveling to the enchanting Envision gatherings in Costa Rica. However, this year's Desert Dwellers performance on the Luna Stage was nothing short of extraordinary—a pinnacle moment that left our hearts brimming with gratitude.

Our deepest thanks extend to the talented dance performers, the mesmerizing fire spinners, and the incredible dancers and attendees who graced us with their presence on the dance floor. Your energy wove a tapestry of magic into the night, creating an atmosphere unlike any other. It was more than just a set; it was an unforgettable experience, etching itself into our memories and becoming a part of our collective journey.

As we savor these moments and continue to dance through life together, let's not forget the essence of this culture that unites us. Let's keep celebrating every moment and cherishing the beautiful souls we meet along the way.”

About the album:

"Lost and Found" is a moving and finely detailed album by PNFA, the musical project of German artist Wolfram Gruss. Known for his reflective and atmospheric style, Gruss delivers a collection that blends downtempo, chillout, and trip hop with cinematic and electro-acoustic elements, resulting in a rich, immersive sound.

Most of the tracks are instrumental, unfolding slowly through layered textures, ambient tones, and subtle rhythmic patterns. Each composition is carefully arranged, showcasing a strong focus on sound design and emotional nuance. The music feels organic and spacious, balancing electronic precision with a warm, human touch.

Alongside the instrumentals, the album features several vocal pieces that add lyrical weight and emotional clarity. These songs deal with themes of love, separation, and the emotional complexity of letting go, offering a contrast to the abstract mood of the instrumental tracks.

PNFA’s production style is deeply nuanced, with every detail—from gentle melodies to atmospheric field recordings—thoughtfully placed. "Lost and Found" stands as a cohesive and expressive work, shaped by both technical skill and a strong emotional core.

The Ever Evolving Quarantine Flux Live Desk Jams....
I'm quite pleased with this one throughout, although the computer crashed (System overload) twice... and it's easy to lose your thread when you have to rewind a bit, disable some plug-ins, and drop in trying to remember where you were going....

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.
