I keep missing these events so thanks for post this! I love your style

Ketamine Journey Mix 1

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. 🙏🏾

Deep Electronics # 272 - Francisco Fuentes

Recorded Live for the "Harmonizing Humanity" Camp in the Burning Man Multi-Verse

Story Time:

in 2016, I took a greyhound to LA to barter for a Burning Man ticket, and then spent my last 100 dollars on a ride from there to Black Rock City. 

During my last night there, after the temple burn, I got called to go to the very left corner (a place I hadn’t yet explored) to see what was waiting for me. Nothing impressive. And yet something kept me there a little longer.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye - i recognized a glowing heart in the very distance... where I ended up pulling up to the beloved Robot Heart stage... tucked away in the corner of the playa, with no more then 30 or so other lucky wanderers who had discovered it with me.

And i danced there, all night; being carried deeper and deeper into my body, into the earth, into my soul as each hour passed in the cold, timeless desert - bringing the sun up. And overtime, the slow, minimalistic Deep House that was already so dear to me ~ began to resound some Hindu Mantras and Ethnic vocal samples...

It was ephemeral and foreign, yet familiar and right. And I knew I had struck gold. 

I wasn’t sure if I’d ever find anything like it outside of this space... but have since then been digging deep into this genre of tribal / ethnic / organic house...
And found home there.

4 years later, after spinning mostly this kind of music - i’m excited to share a little recording of some fresh favorites for my first set at Burning Man: playing for the Harmonizing Humanity camp on the Online Burner Multi-Verse.

Feel free to dance, download, share, and let me know what you think!
