Aaron Johnson : drums

The second collab between Lumado & Elle Jay, Beautiful is an energetic, optimistic indie-pop song with a modern/80s stylistic blend. Included on upcoming EP Vital Signs, which includes 8 separate collaborators from all over Minneapolis. From Elle Jay: ‘Will you stay till you know you're beautiful,’ speaks to our human desire to run from pain or fear, when seeing it to the other side can often reveal a deep beauty in ourselves.”

Lumado is a playground project - a modern version of a large band. Collaborating together in the studio and also remotely, passing rough mixes, stems, ideas back and forth, and constantly brainstorming, “Who else could we bring on with this song?!” The word ‘genre’ is not in our vocabulary.

Mantra is the new single from Surf Coast multi instrumentalist Immy Owusu and his first with Melbourne label Hopestreet Recordings. Mantra is a dreamy slice of Immy’s ‘Afrodelik’ approach to music, a sound that spans psychedelic rock, funk and West African roots.

Immanuel Kwabena Dreesens-Owusu grew up in two worlds: the sea bleached lifestyle of Torquay and the Surf Coast with its rock n roll soundtrack, and the musical heritage of his Ghanaian / Dutch family. Immy’s father Kojo is one of Australia’s best regarded West African musicians and his grandfather Koo Nimo is a legend of Ghanaian Highlife and Palm Wine music active since the 1960s. From them Immy learned Ashanti music and its instruments, added a fuzz pedal and began to experiment. 

Immy spent much of the pandemic living in his caravan in the bush near Bells Beach where he wrote Mantra, letting the Australian landscape and the African rhythms percolate to create a dreamy track with unstoppable momentum. Raw and rhythmic bass and drums at the forefront, Mantra opens with a roughly picked guitar hook. Echo vocals come from all around, spooky but not ominous, telling us to face our fears and give them up to a higher power. ‘When you worry, when you’re feeling down. All your darkness, give it all to me. This is my mantra’. The track builds with layered synthesizers and pads drawing you into an unfamiliar world. 

Of Mantra, Immy says ‘My family always said as a kid that when I was worried about something that I could give these negative feelings up to the Angels, The Great Mother, Jesus, God or the Universe, depending on which family member I was asking.’

Serene Awakening: Relaxing Music for Meditation and Inner Peace - Part 5

The Forgotten Ritual was never truly lost, only veiled by time and fear. The Ancient Witches knew the path beyond the ephemeral, where spirits persist beyond names and forms. Their rite was not a plea, but a declaration: to exist beyond dissolution, to embrace the eternal nexus where darkness and being are one. What is eternal does not fade; it merely waits in the silence.
