Therapeutic DJ Mixes

Simone Bauer is a DJ from Milan. For the occasion, he performed live exclusively for the festival.
_A few memories from Simone Bauer about our festival La Vallée Électrique 2022:

"The warmth of the sun on my skin, the sound of music that blends with the sound of the surrounding environment, the surrounding smiles.

I had the pleasure of playing at this beautiful festival, located in a valley with a stream running through it and surrounded by trees.

Three days of complete immersion in nature and music, where I played live for the first time with this musical project, for me, it was a great emotion to propose my music live in this way, it is certainly a moment that I will always remember with joy.

For me, it was also the opportunity to meet many artists and friends for the first time after years of contacts only via internet and to meet many new ones.

I can't wait to come back for the next edition, but this time to dance."

La Vallée Électrique 2022 • Simone Bauer (Live)

To celebrate my new book "The Psychedelic DJ" (a.co/d/dygri6S) and release of the accompanying therapeutic DJ mixes "Psilocybin Therapy Protocol 1" (tinyurl.com/isolatedmix132) and "PsiIocybin Therapy Protocol 2" (tinyurl.com/deepbreakfast318), I'm happy to release a 7.25-hour longform DJ mix protocol that I created for a unique recreational medicine day with a group of therapists, facilitators, and guides—many of whom were exploring new combinations of psychedelics in a safe, supported, intentional/recreational social setting.

The experience included two overlapping groups, each moving through distinct pharmacological timelines involving MDMA, psilocybin, 2C-B, and ketamine.

Group 1 began with MDMA, followed by a psilocybin boost at 90 minutes and a ketamine boost around the 4.5-hour mark. 

Group 2 began with MDMA and added 2C-B approximately 3 hours in.

The music was curated to reflect and support the evolving energetic waves of these substances beginning with warm, heart-opening ambient textures, slowly building into layered melodic rhythms and deep psychedelic atmospheres that aligned with peak moments, and gently grounding into more spacious, landing tones near the end.

Unlike typical DJ mixes, which contain multiple different tracks, this particular protocol consists of full or partial albums, with moments of single tracks interwoven throughout. It’s a fusion of extended album segments and carefully chosen standalone pieces, creating one long, immersive journey. The compilation is mixed to ensure smooth transitions, maintaining continuity throughout the experience—allowing the journey to flow naturally and seamlessly from start to finish.

Rather than the therapeutic protocols that accompany the book, this set includes some subtle, washed-out, ethereal vocals and 4/4 beat-driven passages, inviting connection, joy, curiosity, and introspection while still maintaining emotional depth, safety, and fun.

Thanks so much for you support and happy journeying!

Ambient dub is an electronic fusion of ambient and dub reggae, featuring the atmosphere of the former and the Jamaican style basslines, percussion, and psychedelic production techniques of the latter. The name of the genre was coined by the Beyond label with a series of compilation albums of the same name, starting with Ambient Dub Volume 1: The Big Chill in 1992. Waveform Records was also generally considered to be the American counterpart of the Beyond label out of the UK, which was exclusively devoted to the Ambient Dub movement. While the lines are blurred between these electronic genres, ambient dub can genuinely be discerned by its denser atmospheres, slow tempo, a heavier use of reverb and/or delay, and an emphasis on bass akin to traditional dub. It also echoed dub pioneers who used their studio as an instrument, like King Tubby and The Scientist.

Bribiedub returns home for this one — a smoked-out journey through shadowy 170 dubs, spooky tech enclaves, halftime grit, and UK-bred autonomic — that suspended state between impact and untethered drift.

A deviation from form, but deeply rooted in the soil and spirit this series grows from.

We hope you enjoy — PC Crew.

Primary [colours] Mix Series #55 - Bribiedub

https://soundcloud.com/mattxavier has been a friend of mine for many years now. A fellow music obsessive and trusted voice when it comes to all things ambient, techno, and beyond, we finally managed to meet in person while I lived in Los Angeles, and we stayed connected over music ever since. 

We’ve swapped stories about pressing vinyl and running labels, and he was the reason I first crossed paths with Joel Mull (Damm) at one of his gatherings held at a beautiful Topanga home. It was a serendipitous moment that still echoes today. 

A proponent for the deeper layers found in music, Matt has since become a practician, ambassador, and pioneer for psychedelic soundtracking. Along the way, he shared tracks from ASIP and other labels that were influencing and guiding his private sessions, shaping the grand masterpiece we present to you today. As his practice deepened, we exchanged many texts discussing his ambition to publish a book about his unique experience and include an accompanying mix on ASIP. 

Matt’s new book, ‘The Psychedelic DJ: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy’, (https://a.co/d/5bFxc2h) is a groundbreaking manual for anyone looking to bridge sound and healing. Whether you're a clinician, a DJ, or just someone who knows the power of a well-placed track, Matt’s work will likely reframe how you think about music’s role in inner journeys. 

His isolatedmix is a fully formed and accompanying ‘Protocol’, which is an example of one of his many guided sessions, referred to as “therapeutic DJing.” Psilocybin Therapy Protocol v1.22a, distills his craft and evolution in this practice for us all to dip into at a surface level, providing a peek into what are very personal worlds prepared for his clients. 

Alongside the mix, Matt joins us for a deep-dive interview, discussing his new book, his transition from rave culture to guided sessions, his real-time curatorial method and how music, when chosen with care, can become a tool for transformation.

With deep gratitude, we welcome @mattxavier

Matt is the author of The Psychedelic DJ: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy (https://a.co/d/3Rj3G4r), a guide for facilitators and psychonauts that combines DJ techniques, counseling, music curation, and psychedelic therapy. As a seasoned DJ, mental health counselor, and psychedelic guide, his work sits at the crossroads of music, healing, and expanded consciousness.

With over 30 years of experience exploring sound and psychedelics—from pioneering New York City’s early ’90s psytrance scene to cofounding the techno/house label Railyard Recordings—Matt eventually shifted his focus from nightlife to clinical psychology. Today, he runs Integrated Psychedelics (https://integratedpsychedelics.com), a private practice dedicated to guided journeywork, preparation, and integration support for psychedelic experiences.

In Matt's words:

"Psilocybin Therapy Protocol 2: The Shadow" is the second part of a four-hour DJ mix series I've created from hundreds of live psychedelic therapy sessions. Following Protocol 1 – The Light (available via ASIP's Isolated Mix Series at https://tinyurl.com/isolatedmix132), which focused on major chords and sublimation, this sequel encourages deeper exploration using minor chord progressions to uncover hidden aspects of the psyche.

Structured around the shared arc of the Hero’s Journey & psilocybin mushroom experience (departure, initiation, return) these mixed protocols blend ambient textures, cinematic scores, and pulses of techno/house to support inner transformation. An ideal tool for guided sessions, solo journeys, or deep listening.
