A cheeky collage of styles on the lose. My Celtic blood showed up, endless distortion textures for some brain fuzzage. It’s pretty obvious I had NO fun at all making this!  🙃

Luke Mandala - Devotion

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!

Hitting repeated heights with his “Parallel Words” EP series in August 2020 and April 2021, in addition to work for the likes of Anjunadeep, Replug and Monstercat, Nōpi now returns to Proton Music with another original offering. Showcasing his twin-track “Overload” EP, the Ukrainian producer excels once more as the pounding beat and soft, shuffling shakers of “Galactic” bristle with a deep, elemental energy. Gently modulating synth lines merge with softly pulsating white-noise washes before a central motif makes its presence felt. Filtering easily, it is complemented by a swathe of effect and soundscapes while luscious pads add layers of listener interest. The result is an aptly named opener. “Overload” continues the chunky rhythmic poise of its partner track while an uptempo percussive energy and driving bassline groove create a dance-friendly character. Full of cadenced stabs that create a house vibe along with spoken vocal cuts, the track hits a powerful zenith in the latter stages before a new arpeggio is brought to the sonic collage in impressive work from the Nōpi studio.

A Particles regular since late 2009, Vinayak A has been at the forefront of dance music for over two decades. An esteemed figure within the underground dance fraternity, his work for Bedrock, Buddha Bar and Subtract, plus performances at festivals including Magnetic Fields, VH1 and Echoes of Earth have placed him as one of India’s most successful dance artists and sound designers. After a recent Particles remix for Wolfframm in February 2024, Vinayak A now debuts on Proton Music with a typically innovative and carefully sculpted reworking of “Galactic”. Steeped in trademark organic soundscapes, familiar elements from Nōpi’s original are immaculately blended with instruments and phrasing from Vinayak’s native India as a majestic piano chord and new bassline sequence sit perfectly amongst the original components to create a mesmeric new interpretation.

Recently joining the Proton roster with his “The Wind People” EP, Luke Mandala has a strong track record for a commitment to dance music that extends to mixing live wind instruments and drumming into his production work. A regular DJ across his northwest US home, Luke’s work for Dreaming Awake, Digital Structures and Uniting Souls Music has seen him become a sought-after figure. Reworking “Overload”, a delicate rhythmic opening, knocking woodpecker clave and atmospheric wind instrumentation, paves the way for a dark bassline groove to make its presences felt in the early stages. Waxing and waning with filtered and glissando intensity, familiar phrases from the original create a rich sonic landscape before the huge bassline dominance makes a play at the stunning breakdown before blending itself once more with the cast of melodic characters and spatial effects.

World dominance has come easily to Nōpi through his “Overload” EP with further assistance coming from Vinayak A and Luke Mandala.

Nōpi - Overload (Luke Mandala Remix) [Proton Music]

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!

Birds of Paradise - Focal Point (Mandala Affect The Time is Now Remix)

Abnormal x JayLotus-Toonami 1997

OUT NOW: desertdwellers.fanlink.to/BREATHReimaginedVol3

The third and final chapter in Desert Dwellers’ genre-twisting odyssey of electro world fusion, Breath Re-Imagined Vol. 3 opens the sonic gates to a realm of hypnotic and driving rhythms born from the interiors of the electronic underworld. Imbued with the raw and psychic energies of deep and ethereal techno, this 10-track opus completes the remix trilogy sparked by producer-duo Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe’s top-selling 2019 electronica album, Breath, and draws us back to the dark tribal tech sound that started it all over two decades ago.

Guiding listeners beyond the bass-centric and deep-tech stylings of Vols. 1 and 2, Vol. 3’s international crew of remixers has tapped into the soul-stirring essence of Desert Dwellers’ iconic psychedelic sound and re-tooled it for the uptempo dance floor, deploying a steadfast mixture of uplifting and pulsating beats to showcase the surreal and often visceral dimensions embedded within Breath's original compositions.

Bringing the underground club and festival sounds of Europe, Australia, Israel, and North and South America to ‘Breath,’ Desert Dwellers’ league of remixers transports listeners through surreal and digital dreamscapes with tracks by Uone, D-Nox & K.A.L.I.L., Dance Spirit, and Griffin Paisley, while offering raw and cerebral detours at the hands of Yuli Fershtat, Jamie Stevens, and Speaking in Tongues. On the warm and evocative end of the collection come tracks by Luke Mandala and Djuma Soundsystem, with a euphoria-driven remix of “One That Shows the Way” by Desert Dwellers ending the collection and entire remix album trilogy on a richly-layered psychedelic note.

A tantalizing balance of dark and radiant musical energy that celebrates the diversity of each remixer’s distinct musical heritage, Breath Re-Imagined is both a memoir of Desert Dwellers’ reverence for uptempo music and a voyage into the soul of global dance floor culture.

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.
