bEST OF ERIC MONKHOUSE

There's nothing to say when the music is so good!
But if we must then let's mention that London native, Eric Monkhouse, sure knows how to hold space for a kick ass experience.
His choice selections and seamless mixing inspire only one direction - DEEP DOWN - towards the intimacy and longing of shared connection. We've all felt it - those exquisite moments, when we close our eyes and throw our arms up in sheer joy and appreciation.
Eric has a knack of prolonging those moments in a series of waves which wash over our bodies and psyches. It's a home coming of sorts - that warm, spacious, womb like familiarity of the kick drum of our mother's heartbeat. Drawing from a wide base of culturally diverse music, he'll use rhythms and warm bass frequencies to reconnect to our ancestral roots - when there was only a simple circle, fire and night sky. Turn up to his gigs ready to feel grounded, centered and liberated.

At the end and If the setting is appropriate, he loves allowing people to rest where they are and walk around wafting sounds of the didgeridoo. Primal ear and heart medicine!

PREMIERE: Serkan Eles - Not a Body [ Baikal Nomads ]

Release Title: Joy & Euphoria
Artist: Serkan Eles
Label: Baikal Nomads
Catalogue No.: BNA057
Release-Date: Sunday 5 May 2024

Buy Link: https://www.beatport.com/release/joy-euphoria/4537009 

Promotext: Serkan Eles drops a mesmerising organic house EP via Baikal Nomads that features four spellbinding tracks.

Baikal Nomads is a prestigious record label known for its forward-thinking approach to organic house, and Serkan Eles is making his debut on the imprint following music on other respected outlets such as Pipe & Pochet, Sol Selectas, Bar 25 and Cafe De Anatolia.

Hailing from Istanbul in Turkey, Serkan Eles is a talented musician who's transitioned from playing guitar in bands to producing electronic music. His style blends live instrumentation with sequenced percussion and atmospheric synths. Serkan Eles is also a skilled DJ whose enrapturing sets have captivated dance floors at many of Turkey's most prestigious underground events.
 
"Not a Body" is first of the four tracks, and it's a downtempo cut with dreamy melodies layered over tense pads and shuffling percussion.
 
"Tatha" is a trippy track with triplet rhythms underpinned by a chugging baseline and deep synth stabs, which combine to create a soaring groove.

“Joy” is a moody track with psychedelic guitar chords layered over haunting pads, while the thumping kick drum and shuffling hi-hats hold the groove steady.

"Euphoria" brings the release to an epic close with majestic pads and uplifting piano melodies layered with sparkling synths and flowing percussion.

Shanti Festival 2024

I happened across a rare, one and only edition of "Let Go! - A Darshan Diary" by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Later known as Osho. 

I have fallen in love with it. I read a few passages every morning before my meditation. 

Such beautiful pictures of a beloved master giving "darshan" which is the transmission of his energy. Followers would wait in line to be given a name and his blessing along with spontaneous talks to them personally (which applies to all of us). 

So behold a flurry of mixes over the weeks dedicated to Osho's living memory and the beautiful pictures of him captured in this precious book. 

PS. Thanks to Lola in Fairfax for this treasure.

La DJ  / downtempo, baby! / # 50

Where does the roaring wind take us, where does it take us when we are no more? 
Carried by him, full of pain and suffering, the body decayed, we were not yet ready. 

We were not yet ready for what was to come. The roaring wind carried us away. Only ashes remained, scattered in the world, but the wind did not only carry the material. 
It took the body with it, the body without form, into the "endless" darkness, the ground made of thorns.

He leaves me there, and then it became quiet. No voice, no word. Not a single feeling. Trying to scream. Wandering around aimlessly. Wherever I look, an endless swamp: eternity.

then, I begin to sink, slowly and still. A swamp made of thorns, where does it lead me?
After what felt like an endless period of pain, pierced by endless thorns, a light appeared. Then I knew I had died and will be born again.

Eric Monkhouse has a deep appreciation for the power of sound and its innate ability to transcend the ordinary. He has travelled the world exploring many types of “altering” experiences from meditation, breath work, yoga, chanting, sleep depriving encounter groups and numerous plant medicines. One constant, throughout the 30 years of raising his consciousness, has been the art and revery of DJing. Every performance and mix is intentionally infused with the sacred heart beat of the universe. May this music bless your life in more ways than you can imagine…
