Presenting the first chapter of my new all-original mix series:

Luminous Dreams 

Vol. 1

Paradigm

Embark with me on a journey through dangerous depths and most radiant highs as we explore vast spaces between reality, dreams, and the self within. 
Paradigm tells the story of dancing light permeating through darkness, ancient secrets being rediscovered, and the shift in perspective we must all understand in order to evolve into our next chapter. To save the future, we each must grow to overcome our destructive habits, raise our collective vibration, and in turn reinvent the paradigms of society. When we find the strength to let go and allow change to flow, the truth of our boundless potential behind the illusions of the visible world is revealed. Working together towards this transformation, it quickly becomes clear that we are all in for one wild and magical ride.

Spanning nearly an hour and a half in length, this composition is a true expression of my heart and soul. Encompassing most of the past 3+ years of my original productions, every single track has been re-edited, audio enhanced, broken apart, added to or improved upon in some other way to give the full piece a very coherent and yet complex arrangement - an undertaking that I spent an unbelievable amount of time doing, polishing again and again in pursuit of perfection. On top of this I have featured roughly a full-length album’s worth of unreleased songs, tons of mix-only original content, WIP’s, VIP's, unreleased collaborations, professional voice work and other subtle added layers to truly create a massive storytelling experience that I hope both immerses and exhilarates all who listen. I have never been more proud of any piece of art I've made. 

As this release kicks off my exciting new journey as Luminyst, it is my deepest hope and intention that this art truly works energetically to help illuminate minds, uplift, inspire, and especially help bring growth and healing to all who it reaches. These recent days have been tough, and with this gift I also send out the very real reminder that you are never alone, you are loved, and you are worthy of receiving all the love in the world. Life is intense, and in that intensity there is so much beauty and potential to be found if you believe and remember it. True to the message of this music, let’s unite to help one another heal and evolve together towards a bright future for all people and this planet. 

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being here, listening to my music and supporting these Luminous Dreams.

This is only the beginning.

- David

DL on Bandcamp

Wake Up

This long-awaited piece with my brother Chuck Chillz on vocals is about speaking truth to power and a nod to the political messages of my old alias. The idea behind the song pushes us to remember that despite the turmoil of the world around us or the uncertainty of the future, we can never forget that we are still alive in each passing moment, and as long as we are here right now we have the power to change things.

ALIVE ft. Chuck Chillz

Stoked to finally release my first collab with my insanely talented brother @bromosapiendub - another heavy, driving drumstep slammer I've been rinsing in many sets this year. Please show some love to BroMosapien with a follow!

Luminyst & BroMosapien - Gucci Moves

I hope you all enjoy my re-imagining of this 90's nostalgia trip and through it find the inspiration to always chase your own dreams no matter how crazy they may seem. Remember- you always have the power to manifest your dreams into reality, always. Don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise!

In memory of the late legend Dolores O'Riordan, one of the greatest singers of my generation. This one also goes out to my amazing mother who first showed me the band as a child.

Luminyst & Ravenscoon - Darkness

This song was pretty experimental for me, starting off sounding more like an indie band with a lot of acoustic elements then pulling the listener into a melodic flow that feels like gliding.
This song is about the feeling of letting go, learning to ride the waves of life, and in my case, literally ride the waves of the road as I learned to ride a OneWheel I picked up early this year, right as the pandemic hit. I knew I would need something to keep me entertained this summer without festivals to look forward to, and it was probably the best impulse purchase I ever made. Not only is the board an absolute blast, but funny enough it has taught me some very real and unexpected lessons about life itself. Sometimes, the faster you move, and the more you let go, the easier the bumps in the road become. Ride that momentum and you’ll just soar right over them (most of the time lol).

Gliding

Follow @feelmonger
Huge thanks to @consciouselectronic for the support on this one!

The easiest way to get into the meditative state is to begin listening. Simply close your eyes and allow yourself to hear all the sounds that are going on around you, listen to the general hum and buzz of the world as you listen to music. Don’t try to identify the sounds you are hearing, don’t put names on them, simply allow them to play with your eardrums. Let them go. In other words, let your ears hear whatever they want to hear. Don’t judge the sounds: there are no proper sounds nor improper sounds, and it doesn’t matter if somebody coughs or sneezes or drops something — it’s all just sound.

As you pursue that experiment you will very naturally find that you can’t help naming sounds, identifying them, and go thinking, talking to yourself inside your head, automatically. But its important that you don’t try to repress those thoughts by forcing them out of your mind because that will have precisely the same effect as if you were trying to smooth rough water with a flatiron — you’re just going to disturb it all the more.

What you do is this: as you hear sounds coming into your head, thoughts, you simply listen to them as part of the general noise going on just as you would be listening to cars going by, or birds chattering outside the window. So look at your own thoughts as just noises. And soon you will find that the outside world and the inside world come together. They are a happening. Your thoughts are a happening just like the sounds going on outside, and everything is simply a happening and all you are doing is watching it.

Luminyst & Feelmonger - Just Listen [Conscious Electronic Premiere]

Inspired by the BLM movement and my protest experiences of this past summer (and of course ongoing efforts to push for police reform and end systemic racism in the USA) this was really a landmark for me both stylistically and in sound design, really pushing the boundaries and seeing how gnarly I could get with the low end and swingy groove of a track. Had a chance to test this one out live once this year and it SMACKS. Throw your fist up.

Rise Together

This is a song about how intense emotions from our challenging experiences (such as grief, sadness, loss, stress, fear, etc.) hit us in waves. This is without a doubt one of my favorite songs I’ve ever made. I was in a extremely emotional place while writing it and I think that really shows in the music. I hope it brings healing and a sense of release into this distraught world.

Thank you @headbangsociety for the feature!! So much love for this crew.

Increase your gratitude, increase your reasons to be grateful.

Diamond Hands

A live FLUX set favorite, this long-awaited song began with a massive, multi-day sound design session that emerged from my work in an online class by Ben Cantil over a year ago. Invoking classic sci-fi mad scientist tropes complete with corny voice work by yours truly, the story of the song is inspired by my real-life experience of building the FLUX audio/visual performance system from scratch. The journey involved months of trial and error, a room filled to the brim with computer parts and cables, countless hours of software troubleshooting, network building and even a little bit of code writing. By the end of it, I felt a little mad myself- but alas, my creation... IS COMPLETED!!

The Machine [Headbang Society Premiere]

This is a song about missing someone you love.
A reminder that no matter the circumstances, time passed or distance apart- when you love someone they are never truly gone... just far away.
I wrote this from a very emotional place and thus hope it can bring some form of comfort or healing to anyone who is missing someone important to them. You are never alone.

Special thanks to my good friend Kris Blazer for his excellent work on the mix and master with me for this piece.

Far Away

This is a piece about unleashing the potential locked away deep within. 
It begins with a short, almost meditative ambience to set the space for the booming and abrasive process of activation that follows. The clanging echos the sounds of metal keys in a symbolic manner, which is further expressed by the runes present on the cover art; Kenaz and Perthro.
