Meditations

This live set was recorded for Sol Dance on a rainy October afternoon in Atlanta, GA.

Sol Dance is an ATL-based, Ecstatic Dance community dedicated towards embodied exploration and unleashing human potential through a culturally-diverse selection of deep electronic music & acoustic sound healing.

Sol Dance @ Iverson Park - Oct 2021

A little edit I put together of one of my favorite tracks by Iorie & Arutani including an original vocal sample by Shana Robbins called "Wild Ones".

Iorie & Arutani feat. Shana Robbins - El Llanto Del Mar (Scott Houston's Wild One Edit)

I've been hesitant to share this publicly since I recorded it, because I know it's not for everyone. It is truly a sonic experiment that traverses a lot of vibrational terrain ... So I already know not everybody will vibe. 😅 Regardless, I had always told myself that it was only going to be for my ears & personal process, but it felt like the right time to make it public as we are currently in the depths of a Gemini New Moon portal. 🌑  A time for self-advocacy & path-forging. So, here we go. 

I originally recorded this as a means to process the death of my Father, and the near simultaneous birth of my Son, 2 months ago. The mythic-ness of the timing (or lack thereof) between these incredible life-events is something I could have never imagined would be possible, yet they both happened... and I was left in their wake to make sense of it all. There I sat in deep grief, accompanied by an almost overwhelming sense of joy.

In the sparse moments of free-time I was given after Rael was born, I found my fingers gravitating ... almost yearning towards specific sounds, tracks, and samples that truly seemed to resonate with what I was feeling. Lots of Jazz elements that might Father might've enjoyed in his younger years. Sounds ranging from the bold, experimental riffs of Sun Ra & his Arkestra all the way to the intricate, sometimes explosive compositions of King Crimson. 

There are obscurely minimal, yet melodic structures throughout, though they always find their resolution. I also utilized a good bit of manual pitch manipulation as a means to affect the overall emotional theme, which definitely causes certain tracks to become something else entirely. There are meditative, ambient spaces littered with symphonic over-tones that, at times, become encumbered by chaos & dissonance. The dissonance, I believe to be useful in that the energy of chaos is always followed by a release & surrender into stillness. So, somehow, if you are willing to ride it out, you can find yourself floating in a bed of feathers on the other-side of what might seem an unbearable experience. It's all purposeful.
Another piece to this set's curation is that, while it was coming together, I had envisioned a very intentional space within which it would be listened. A room full of candles ... or perhaps a crackling fire under a Full or New Moon, such as this one. A bowl of copal burning off to the side. A ceremonial circle of individuals gathered with the intention of healing, mending, and perhaps spelunking the depths of their psyche, aided by their medicine of choice. This set, of course, as the backdrop for the experience. 

Truly, it gets weird, and there is real opportunity to evoke the ancient, embodied-self. As the curator of this experience, I find within it ample opportunities for exploration of the mind, a disillusionment of self, and perhaps a re-imagining of one's own internal landscape. A re-visioning of what is possible to perceive as a human-being processing the shape of life. Maybe you'll find something different. Either way, I hope you enjoy the ride, and perhaps receive something of value from the journey. 

If you've taken the time to read this much, I assume you are a supporter of what I do ... and for that I am eternally, profoundly grateful. 🙏🏾

PART 1 ::  10:00pm-2:20am

Otherworldly sights and sounds transported us to higher dimensions at Alchemy Burn 2022 as breakout sound camp Bespoke House made its way onto the scene. A team of nightlife music industry professionals came together to bring their most creative touches to this one-of-a-kind experience. Follow along with this live recording.

This is a collaborative set by the team of resident DJs at Bespoke House at Alchemy 2022:

Bespoke House returns to Alchemy this October. See you there hippies.

Bespoke House :: Alchemy 2022 :: Burn Night Party :: Part 1

My intention with recording this set was to evoke a summation of the experiences we shared together on the dance floor over the course of 2023.

In this 1 hour set, I curated a variety of sounds & moments that I do believe many of you would find an embodied sort of familiarity in + It is my hope that all of you will be able to - in essence - practice, relive & share in those same instances of sonic intelligence with others, outside of Sol Dance. That being said, may each of you continue to thrive & enjoy with your hearts this quintessentially circular journey through light, sound & embodiment. More music to come.

Los Regalos (The Gifts)

This song is the first of a series of songs in honor and reverence of life. It came through to me in music first, and then in Spanish words. This life is so precious. Each moment a gift. My teachers are all around - the colors, the flavors, the trees and flowers. This song a deep bow to the beauty and miracle of ordinary life surrounding me. 

Lyrical translation:
The gifts 

My teachers of colors
My teachers of flavors 
Such gifts for the body
That illuminates within 
Such deep gifts 
That illuminate my world 

My teachers, the trees 
My teachers, the flowers 
What gifts of the Earth 
The healer teaches us 
These sacred gifts 
Of a connected world 

What a gifts it is to drink in life 
My songs are my blessings 
My songs are my blessings 

My teachers, the trees 
My teachers, the flowers 
What gifts of the Earth 
The healer teaches us 
These sacred gifts 
Of a connected world

Cover Art - "The Time Hoop", by Maya Lemberg

Mixed media collage and painting, this is a multidimensional medicine wheel incorporating both Native American and Pagan elements - 4 elements, 7 directions, and 8 quarters and cross quarters of the year. A Medicine Wheel is an instrument of understanding and navigating the cycles of time. Within the Wheel is a representation of the interconnectedness of humans and nature; the microcosm and macrocosm, as cycles and spirals of energy through time. It is a physical embodiment of our spiritual energy; an outward expression of our internal relationship with the Spirit of  all existence.

Los Regalos

This week, one of my personal favorites in the region makes his return to the show, Scott Houston out of Atlanta. Scott seems to be in my head at times with the vibes he creates... Deep, minimal, mystical, psychedelic house with plenty of space to imagine yourself almost anywhere. Couldn't be more excited to share this mix with you.

Enjoy!!

Soviet made, American bred with a Latin heart. My songs and sounds are emanations of my soul, aimed to move and heal. I create medicine songs and chants as well as sweet jazz diddies.  I love to overlay vocals onto deep house and techno tracks, adding depth and texture to electronic journeys. Please and enjoy. :)
