"Healing Beats at Shambhala: A Journey Through Positive Vibes"
 

Kelowna, British Columbia – Rachel Geek (Rachel Gieck) unveils her first fully realized original house inspired, '2023 Shambhala live Mix'. This mix is not just a collection of top house beats; it's an all original production that represents her personal growth and mental rejuvenation, symbolizing the turning point to her new found journey in both her life and music.

 

"In 2019, my Shambhala journey wasn't just a set, it was a curated odyssey. From the warmth of a friend's generosity to the beats echoing freely in my car, and the clandestine rhythms hidden in a secret attic above an office – every location shaped the sonic tapestry of that unforgettable year. Music isn't just heard; it's lived, felt, and woven into the very spaces that embrace its magic."
 

From Challenges to Triumph: The Story Behind the Beats

Her 2023 Shambhala live Mix (performed on the Amp stage on Sunday) is more than just a musical venture; it's a narrative of resilience. Rachel's journey has been one of introspection and challenge, marked by her collaboration with a renowned production teacher who she greatly admired. "It's been an enlightening path," Rachel shares. "Having my work critiqued, undergoing intense coaching, and learning to trust this process was daunting, yet it paved the way for tremendous personal and artistic growth."

This mix is a testament to Rachel's perseverance. "There were moments of doubt," she admits, "but my mentor assured me – follow the program, and the results will come. And they did. Despite the sweltering heat at Shambhala, I delivered one of my most memorable performances. You can feel that energy in this mix."

 

A Journey of Musical Evolution

Rachel's evolution is evident in her transition from tense tunes to the rhythmic pulse of house music. Inspired by artists like Kaytranada, she found solace and expression in this genre. "Discovering house music was a turning point for me. It became my canvas for healing and expression, it also inspired me to dye my hair blonde as per my friend and therapists suggestion”, Rachel reflects. 

The mix also mirrors Rachel's personal transformation, symbolized by her bold decision to cut and dye her hair blonde. "This change isn't just physical. It represents my journey towards embracing change and essentially learning how to grow up and put the past behind me” she explains.

Rachel's experience at Shambhala, interacting with other artists and the community, has been pivotal. “Having the opportunity to witness female artists like Whipped Cream and Nostalgix perform live and up close has been one of the most inspiring moments of my life. Thanks to Shambhala It pushed me far enough out of my comfort zone that I moved provinces and took a job working with displaced youth. That journey alone inspires me to continue on my road to recovery and wellness everyday” she concludes.
