During our trip we're set to experience a high volume of downtempo psychedelic sounds, from the natural to the supernatural. 

Welcome to Plantera 🖖

Mason  & Lewys ッ

Noods Radio - Plantera - 20.08.22

A re-recording of music played out on our second Noods Radio show. Technical issues with the spaceship meant we had to make a sharp U'e back to base. 

In this show find a collection of psychedelic tinged gems, from the early 90's through to present day. Terrestrial & Extra-terrestrial sounds from Jacques Satre, Anatolian Weapons, Medicine Drum and more. Tune in! Love

Noods Radio - Plantera - 10.09.22

Kickstarting the Voyages to Plantera is Brussels-based Robin Genton, aka STDJ. An active member of the Who's Playing? collective, they bring an hour of conscious-expanding sounds. 

Translating to 'Wild Coast', this contribution is inspired by a rave experience Robin has recently had; playing at a party in a forest environment aside the sea. Forwarding this experience into the world of Plantera. 

"This set plays on a wide stretch of land forming a beach bordered by dunes and pine forests. It gives sight on an estuary, a lighthouse, and faraway ships. The pine trees move in a breath-like manner as the wind blows through them. The Milky Way slowly becomes visible as night falls, and the Moon provides just enough light for dancers to find their way."

Leading Voyage 002 to Plantera is Naarm/Melbourne-based psy-digger, Alex Cicchini aka Don Chich. A phenomenal collector & selector whom we gravitated towards after discovering his 'Mystical Experiences' series. Dive deep into the realms of his extensive record collection. 

Buckle up, Let Go. This one elevates into higher states of consciousness. 

"The Pilgrimage begins in the depths of the cold sea as you float through sprawling coral reefs. You break to the surface; light fills your world as waves cascade and encapsulate you. You journey onwards to the land ahead; vegetation grows ever closer with each step. The scenery changes - water turns to murky mud and mangroves spill across the land as you trudge through the unforgiving swamp. Things turn dark as the trees above close and crows begin sing; there is no turning back you must go on. 

The swamp begins to fade and trees become dense. Wild fauna consumes the earth and flora runs rampant as tribes of animals emerge; you are just a visitor in the Rainforest. Something bites you and your senses begins to change; sound becomes colour and colour becomes sound - Ineffable and mystical experiences of the mind, body and soul.

You awake from your trance; where have you been, what have you seen and how far have you travelled? The forest is no more as the sun beats down, the trees have turned to orange sand and snaking dunes cover the barren land. The desert winds whisper your name; are you delirious or is it God? Is it salvation or is it a mirage? The only sure answer is to continue onward.

Mountains appear in the distance and you sense freedom from the hostile land; a restored faith gives you energy to push forward. You begin your ascent to higher ground in hopes to see civilization and trek the rocky and shrubbery façade. This is the hardest feat yet, your strength wains on this climb towards the peak, but something wonderful, something unexplainable carries you on. You peak the summit; ahead of you is life and civilization, behind you are the landscapes traversed on this journey. It is now time to find rest, peace and reflection before you begin the next chapter of your Pilgrimage" - Don Chich

002 | 'Pilgrimage' by Don Chich

Our third installment of guest shows on Bristol-based Noods Radio. Playing 8-9pm from the Mickey Zoggs HQ, this show consists of a natural elevation of energy. A bag of psychedelic sounds in this one, we hope you enjoy! 

Love

Noods Radio - Plantera - 22.10.22

The next quest through the ever-expanding world of Plantera is provided by London-based selector Bethan. A super talented being whom's taste of music resonated very deeply with ourselves at Plantera HQ. 

Bethan narrates a psychedelic journey saturated with deeply inspiring music from her impressive collection. Sounds that harmonise with the heart's and ear's of the listener; digging from the past, whilst peering innovatively into the future. 

Expect chill out serenity, before elevating through altitudes of euphoric energy. 

Thank you Bethan

Love

"In the depths of Plantera is a place that provides a guiding hope in the face of despair. Starting off at a serene dawn, soft glowing light billows down upon the ocean, and we float from blissful waves onto the shore.  

We then enter an unknown territory on land, and a change of scenery and mood reflects the momentary chaos embodied by an absurd world. Slowly, the golden radiance of the sun begins to ascend and offers new beginnings and dreams, and we are gently lifted to a higher place." - Bethan

The fourth instalment of the Voyages mix series is lead by Ukrainian-born, Warsaw based @shjva who's warping production and tripped-out selections have spent hours ringing around our ears at base camp. 

With releases spanning a breadth of contemporary psychedelic soundscapes, notably the self-released 12-tracker 'zemlia', we were delighted when they agreed to take the reigns on a Voyage on Plantera.

Shjva lays down a shamanic journey of ritualistic hypnosis through the ripples of space and nature.

Thank you @shjva 🌀🖖

"Amidst the lush, ancient jungle, the towering trees impart their ancient knowledge to the tranquil stillness, far from the din of humanity. Nature’s mirror is deep and otherworldly from beneath that yellow half-moon, risen late. In the serenity of the fig tree, in solitude, do you not ponder if it all may be an illusion? You return home, rejuvenated by the rawest of nature, to commune with the winds of the South. Heed these distant yet tangible, eloquent teachings – you are summoned to rekindle the harmony that ties all together." - shjva

004 | 'Jakku Tribe' by shjva

Plantera presents their latest radio show transmitting tribal to other-worldly rhythms from Mickey Zoggs HQ, Bristol. 

Buzzed to play to a packed out venue whilst airing the show live. Love to all that came through and those giving the upload a tinkle ;)

Music from the likes of Eversines, River Yarra, Sau Poler and many more sick artists. Tuck in and let go!

Noods Radio - Plantera - 13.01.23

The fifth instalment of the Voyages mix series puts @hanndmusic firmly in the pilot seat, setting off straight to Plantera HQ.

With Dan first catching our eye at parties with the Down to Earth collective in Bristol (namely an Underwater set in a tiny basement💦) we decided we had to give the Comma Traxx head the reigns for a Voyage.

Strap in for deep, driving hypnosis from eery to etheral, with no stone inbetween left unturned.

Thank you Dan 👾

"A lone traveller emerges from their crash-landed ship upon Plantera, uncertain of what land is before them and what mysteries await. Through the dense, purple mist a marshy woodland appeared. A luminous curiosity pulses from the forest that surrounds this lone wonderer, inviting them to explore with aimless enthusiasm.

Taking them through thick fog bewilderment with shimmers of panic2, enducing sporadic segments of sprinting for safety. Morphing through lucid curiosity into dark and dense dashes of adrenaline; always questioning 'where am I?' somehow their thoughts echoed off the surrounding trees, thick of reverberating thought bubbles. 

Despite a desire to feel scared, the wonderer somehow felt comforted by the surrounding vast atmosphere of Plantera. Ascending to the utopic tree city that inhabits the fog land, the local colony offers nourishment and peace to rest with ease, only a taster of the endless beauty that Plantera can offer"

005 | 'Arrival' by Hannd

The 6th contribution to the Voyage series is gifted to us by the mesmerizing Monoke; or as we are so blessed to know her as, Ellie Gillan. 

A pure and spiritual being; whose essence is communicated through their immense track selection and ability to curate. 'Zion' embarks on a journey led by the drum, synthesizing a ritualistic ceremony with a trajectory towards celebration.

A deeply moving story, enriched with an empirical perspective. Ellie communicates this story via the vehicle of fantasy, creating an enthralling new environment on Plantera; the cave of Zion. 

Welcome to Plantera, Ellie!
___

"I had heard whispers of a surreal existence of Zion on Plantera. A place where people are synced with the ritualistic nature of the drum. Recreating ceremonies that our ancestors would draw people together with. Dancing with their spirits and the impenetrable bind between the community. 

Carelessly, a lonely path was one I had taken these last few years, but something sparked within me that it was time to find my people. 

I kept this glimmer of hope in my mind as I wander aimlessly amongst the sand and sun for days. There are no nights on this side of Plantera. 

A mound slowly appears in the distance. As I near closer it begins to block the sun, giving me relief from the piercing light. As my eyes adjust, I edge forward and feel a cool sharp sensation.

A sheer glisten catches my eye and dances into the distance. She feels familiar. I aimlessly follow her through the depths of these shallow rock caves. Feeling this light had given me a hope for something. 

I halt and see if my eyes can adjust to what lies ahead. She notices the halt and glides towards me, floating on the cold misty air. I reach to touch her, to see if she was real or if my imagination had taken over my vision, and she whisked herself away. 

I feel the warmth of her trail - a spirit of Plantera. An auburn shade begins to climb the wall of rock surrounding me. Harmonies play with my eardrums and my heart starts to open with relief, a sign of life. Yet, so much more was ahead than I ever could have imagined. 

As she disappears through the cave walls above, I allow the light and sounds to guide me. A warm glaze reveals a deep opening at the foot of the cave. I see hazily through the veil; fire, surrounded by other beings. Beings like me. 

Music beats from the heart of the fire, her flames change from white to orange. Embodiment; it was as if the rhythm of flame controlled each beat. Never had I witnessed such conscious movement before.  

The whispers of Zion were true. 

As I try to enter through the veil, a resistance holds me back. The veil starts to solidify and won’t allow me through. Heads begin to turn towards me, making their way to where I stood. I stay firmly put, unsure as to what they were about to do. 

Hands permeate the veil, beckoning me to take hold. After a few moments of hesitation; I remember how after such solitude, I found trust. 

I reach forward and tender, soft hands slowly pull me forward. Kind and loving faces look upon me as if we were lost friends aiming to
 find our way back to each other. But now we had found home. We all smile and walk towards the fire together, holding onto one another in a warm embrace. 

I thought about the spirit, and whether she had brought us all here one by one, knowing that this is where our people were. Bringing us back to Zion, a place where you find your community after being lost for so long. We all join together in dance and celebration, being led by the beat of the drum. 

I had heard the whispers of a surreal existence of Zion on Plantera. I now know how much more this was than the tales told, as no-one can understand a feeling until they have felt it. A gift that your heart can give to you and others. And when it is shared, it grows amongst people and can save you more than you think." - @monokedj

The seventh contribution to the Voyage mix series is gifted to us by our good friend and all-round super talented human being, AK-ONE.

Greg is a multi-medium artist based in Bristol, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to self expression. Whilst consistently exploring various realms of his craft, Greg's style and taste resonates deeply with ourselves at Plantera HQ.

Running the inspirational label 'Common Ancestors', and consistently producing insanely emotive music; it was an intuitive decision to ask him to narrate the next Voyage to Plantera.  

Big Love to you Greg <3


"Day breaks and the mist clears over the vast plains of Plantera, immense herds migrate through the heat of the pounding sun and the grass sways in the breeze.

As the sun disappears over the horizon, the creatures of the night come out to hunt, the moon illuminates eyes in the darkness.

Senses are heightened, the Savannah is a dangerous place to be after dark." - AK-ONE

007 | 'Savanna' by AK-ONE

Leading the 8th Voyage to Plantera is a hometown gem Dan Newman, guiding us around the Isle of 'Hedonistaidd'

A long time friend and inspiration source of ours here at Plantera HQ, Dan has released his infectious energy across every nook and cranny of South Wales

Taking over pub back rooms, basement spaces and intimate dancefloors with 16.5 Presents for the last 10 years, he has moulded his output into pure euphoric bliss

This voyage is no different

Dan takes us on a meandering journey floating through shimmering soundscapes and sun-kissed frequencies, lapping against the shores of Hedonistaidd, helping us cling on to the final flames of summer

thank you for always brining the sunshine Dan <3



"Welcome to 'Hedonistaidd', the 24-hour party capital of Plantera. Landscaped with crystalline waters and luscious golden beaches; a driving pulse of Balearic beats can be heard from the outer ends of the Universe. A one-stop-shop for hedonistic paradise.

This promised land and it's inhabitants are gifted life force by a sacred crystal, located deep within the planet's core. Though in return, the crystal requires the souls that inhabit the island to live a 24-hour hedonistic lifestyle. 

Once you enter 'Hedonistaidd' there is no going back."

As the nights draw closer & spooky season appears at the horizon; we felt an urge to dip into gloomier realms for this one 🌚

An hour trip through kooky-spooky super-terrestrial freqs; dipping into dubby, chuggy & trip-hop rhythms, plucked straight from the astral plane

Back on air with an hour of psy-licked trancey bits for @noodsradio ‘s Sporecast this Sunday; in celebration of World Mushroom Day 🍄 tune in all day for an abundance of fungi-infused muzik and educational chats 💚

Noods Radio - Plantera - 11.10.23

At the controls of the next Voyage to Plantera is a long time source of inspiration to ourselves, Tywi - or as we more fondly know him as, Eben.

One of the brains behind 'Haŵs' - the Cardiff based label and party series which since inception has impressed in all corners of the globe. Eben has consistently pushed sounds that resonate with us here at Plantera HQ.

Whether that be curating dancefloor journeys with his extensive wax collection or through mind-warping productions - namely his recent four-track slammer 'Reality Checkpoint' released on Belfast imprint, Duality Trax.

An absolute dream for us to have such a lovely and talented human at the helm for this voyage, big love Eben <3 


"Welcome to 'Spirit Land,' in the enchanting realm of Plantera. A place within our own minds, accessible to all, where our spirits roam free.

On this voyage through the mystical landscape of Plantera, the adventure begins with an introductory passage transporting you directly to the shores of the otherworldly land. 

A sonically coherent journey free from constraints or linearity - exeplifying the first steps in this unfamiliar, uncharted terrain. 

An unpredictable traverse filled with twists, turns, moments of euphoria, and serene interludes – an exploration, as exciting as it is contemplative, guided by the beat. 

‘Spirit Land' is an invitation to simply let go and immerse yourself in the experience of sound."

009 | 'Spirit Land' by Tywi

last month we were invited to contribute to the psychedelic celebration that is 'Sporecast' on Noods Radio, spotlighting all things fungi on World Mushroom Day 🍄

we put together a swirling, whirling hour of psychedelic sludge, keeping things chuggy and hypnotic throughout

mahoosive love to Noods for a beautiful day of programming and always having faith in us to broadcast the weird and wonderful sounds of Plantera <3

Sporecast w/ Plantera

co-piloting the tenth Voyage to Plantera are London-based digger-duo, 'The Oblong'. 

Tom and Ben first came into our awareness via their stella self-titled YouTube channel; a haven for sharing uncut gems to the growing masses.
Between extended sets displaying vinyl mastery & flirtatious snippets of silly production on socials, it's fair to say we were hooked by our virtual cahonies!!!

Now making ripples amidst dancefloors via their intimate London-based party series 'Splitloop'.

Sending Big Love to Tom and Ben for guiding us on this profound, effervescent expedition into uncharted auditory realms <3 <3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Forgotten by layers of ice and time; an ancient sound system re-awakens atop a frozen glacier. It starts to hum and soft sound soon morphs into a vast and pulsating beat. Music emanates from the towering monolith and Mother Nature takes note: snow melts and great shards of ice splinter and break away, allowing vegetation to climb through the gaps.

A lost traveller stands watching in disbelief. The blizzard clears and reveals a path through the glacial labyrinth. They move quickly, with hope of finding home rekindled. Eventually looking back at the ancient relic from a distance, as the music quietens and the new green world is returned to stillness."

- @the-oblong

commencing our latest Noods residency with half of the Plantera crew in the medical bay wasn't how we expected things to go...

... however our lovely friend Greg, also known as AK-One, stepped in for Mason joining Lew at Mickey Zoggs for an hour of deep, swirling hypnosis

much love to Greg for jumping in as co-pilot just before lift-off, it was a real trip

Noods Radio - Plantera & AK-One - 16.02.24

Next up at the helm of the latest Voyage are the Yland Sunr:ders, presenting a profound, meticulously crafted psychedelic endeavor conceived by diafan and Da:mu - the minds behind the Nantes-based Oz Collective.

Their nexus, akin to our own, lies in the narrative woven within their sets, guiding listeners through expansive realms of rock’n’trance & beyond.

Resonating profoundly with the cathartic and ceremonial journey crafted to “hæl the body & mind in a natural haven,” it brings us immense joy to share this with the universe.

We extend immense gratitude to Diafan and Da:mu for this journey of ‘Astroäsis’ 🖖

“After a decade observing unsolved mysteries over the night skyline, the Yland Sunr:ders entered the stellar gate to access the star where everything begins, the spooky and frozen Astroasïs. This long-awaited exploration see them embrace three revelations about our deepest origins: biosphere from outer space, creatures with disturbing eyes & fluidic sensations never felt before. Relax your heavenly body, follow them into this journey accross their sonic & leafy universe ¡’

Natural flav'z emulating a sense of lightness, or optimism on the cusp of a long-a$$ Winter season. Before blossoming into more energetic realms with nods to a new energy on Plantera.

Noods Radio - Plantera 𖤓 Spring Equinox

Our latest voyage embodies 'Rising From The Ashes' beautifully curated by Moss Witch. A stunningly conscious being, whose presence and sonic persuasion has hit home with us on Plantera. 

Erin orchestrates a journey through the realms of psychedelia; skillfully balancing reality-altering elements, distinctive expression, and a meaningful purpose. Crafting an expedition that mirrors their spiritual odyssey to the present day, they ignite the flames of creativity within whilst undertaking a noble mission to positively impact the world we know. 

This enchanting musical endeavour leaves no stone un-turned. The distinctive sound of the Moss Witch; filled with irresistible personal details, captivating listeners, leaving a glowing imprint on all. 

Erin, you’re an inspiration & your journey has our heartfelt support! Big Loooove x

--------------------------------------

“This is the soundtrack of a young Moss Witch's voyage through life. Beginning in spooky darkness, through deep bass, wubs and fire - her true spirit is born.

The Witch emerges from the ashes, stronger, wiser and sexier than ever. Harnessing her magic & sharing it with all of those who need it. She is resilient, silly and powerful.

A homage to the experience of true rebirth in the light of darkness and uncertainty."


“This mix was intended to be played at a music festival called 'Mach 1' on the land of the Djab Wurrung and Jardwardjali people in Australia, but was cancelled due to bushfires. 
In the mix, there is a meditation I wrote referencing bushfires in Gariwerd Country, and a unique mushroom (Pyronema Omphalodes) which only appears after a bushfire. 
Fire is an integral part of the Australian landscape, with many species depending on it for reproduction. However, the Western way that land is managed, in combination with climate change, means catastrophic bushfires are becoming more frequent. 
Aboriginal knowledge of caring for Country needs to be tapped into to reduce the devastation that bushfires bring. Cultural burning means applying fire in a way that is best for the entire ecosystem, not just for people, but for animals, plants, and fungi. Visit firesticks.org.au to learn more.

Thank you to the incredible artists who created the music in this mix and John (@jonnierox) for the spooky witchy voice edit.

Love from the Moss Witch.”

Plantera eases into blissful realms with our April edition on Noods Radio, where we dive deep into blissed-out-balearia

an extended two hour show sees us traverse playful downtempo, interlaced with natural percussion and dreamy pads - gradually ascending into more groove-led, trancey excursions

extra special shouts to a packed out mickey zoggs who rivalled the sun's rays with their energy <3

Noods Radio - Plantera - 12.04.24

Pioneering the next voyage is our good friend & frequent visitor to Plantera, Katie aka Lora Mipsum - a creative spirit whom we have a hoooj love & admiration for.

Co-curator of hazy Whomp's for heartfelt causes and embarking on a noble quest to unearth gems of yesteryear with her label Slush Records, we knew this care and attention to detail would run through to the voyage series. 

Showcasing the downtempo realms of their vinyl collection, Katie elegantly weaves a psychedelic excursion through blissed-out spring-time soundscapes & dream-state chillers. A timely mix of seasonal shifts through ambient rays metamorphosing into organic rhythms of the mystical, guided by the groove. 

Thank you so much for this beautifully crafted journey, Katie - spring has most definitely sprung.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"With a subtle tilt of Plantera's axis we are ushered into a spring awakening, after the long dormancy of winter. 

As the days gradually lengthen and temperatures rise, nature begins to stir from it's frosty slumber. 

Trees bud, flowers bloom, birds return from migration - the air is filled with the sound of chirping and buzzing, reverberating throughout the landscape.

The soothing tones of spring awaken us all." - @loramipsum

013 | 'Spring Awakening' by Lora Mipsum

Blessed to take the reigns on Faith Invention's ~Groove Therapy~ slot on Melbourne's very own @area3000. Shouts to @donchich for the invitation, nothing but love brudda!

"A two-hour shamanic journey guided by the rhythm of the drum. Bass-driven pulsations emerge from swirling ambience, traversing the depths of the swamp and spiraling towards hypnosis."

Area 3000 Radio - Plantera - 24.05.24

next up bringing her sorcery to the voyage series is Welsh witch, R.E.D

avid digger of all things psych, Sophie's eclectic sonics struck a serious chord with us here on Plantera - melding folk and mysticism throughout all she outputs, namely her monthly noodsradio slot exploring the more introspective side of her collection as well as providing a hefty dose of etheria through the medium of her redwax couldron.

for this voyage however R.E.D navigates through the gloopy ebbs and flows of the enchanting swamp; portraying sways of emotion but encouraging calm & grounding to ascend toward the glowing light.

thanks so much for the care and attention put into this Soph, such a beautiful voyage

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A constant full moon looms in the Northern latitudes, shining upon a vast sea of water which encircles all. 

Many visitors find themselves ensnared in the swamps grasp, teeming with amphibian and insect-like beings, mystical creatures and unknown entities. As you traverse this landscape, unsure of what is real and what isn’t, the trees whisper ancient songs and the pull of the sludge intensifies.

Just remember to follow the moon. On the other side, serenity awaits..."

014 | 'Follow The Full Moon' by R.E.D

Next up steering his own voyage to Plantera is the master of tranquility, Nate Sellin aka DJ RELAX - setting the coordinates and transporting listeners to 'Sector Relax-26E'

One of the finest souls bubbling in the psychedelic cauldron of Naarm, Nate reveals his deep love for unearthing untouched gems and attention to detail in narrative curation, whether that be through track selection or his very own ridiculously top shelf production - check out his self-titled EP on 100 Fold for crystal clear signs of this ✨️

The Espiritu co-founder takes us on an expansive excursion through shimmering psychedelia; infused with cozy bass-lines, seductive trance and organic goodies - a true masterclass in the 'chillout' experience.

Big Love to Dr. Chill 🫡

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Welcome to Sector Relax-26E, a place where you can moonbake under the light of Plantera's largest moon, Pegasus.

Time is 1.5 x slower than that of the rest of the planet, resulting in an extended holiday whenever you visit. Come dip your feet in the largest beach in the Northern Milky Way. Waves run in constant sets, so you will always be sure to hang ten through the moonlight.

Here, 70% of the flora is smokable, but be careful what you choose as the hallucinogenic potency varies from plant to plant.
Be sure to book your ticket for the next rocket and get ready to relax.

p.s. Please don’t feed the moon monkeys. We take no liability of what happens if you do."

015 | 'Sector Relax-26E' by DJ RELAX

leading the next Voyage to Plantera is geo-enthusiast and all around wonderful human, Frond

we've had the pleasure of spending time with Sophie on and off the dancefloor & through these experiences we were introduced to the various mind-states and connections that influence her selection, from then the voyage juices started flowing and an invite was swiftly sent

aside from our personal experience, Frond is infusing her pulsating nature across dancefloors far & wide, paying particular attention to the senses alongside psychonaut crews Pollination, On Rotation & Down To Earth as well as contributing a pulsing acid-laced prog-trance anthem to one of the largest records of the year on People & Places

we are blessed to present this hr+ of deep, swirling hypnosis, taking us on an extra-terrestrial geological mission through the faults & fissures of 'Fingals Cave'

don't forget your head torch 

---------------------------------------------------------

As they moved through the rocky portal, dipping their feet into the swirling pools, it was an attempt to disperse the growing sense of unease that had begun to shroud them.

What had once been glistening eddies of clear water had now become a dark, menacing undertow.

Inside this basalt cathedral, they had become trapped between the mortal and other worlds.

With a spirit's glance, they dived - @frond

As we transition seasons, we present an extended trip on the cusp of sundown, live from Mickey Zoggs, Bristol.

Gather your tribe, sip the forbidden grail.

Noods Radio - Plantera - 30.08.24

for the first Voyage of 2025 (earth-time) we welcome Barca-based Parisian psychonaut, @maryu-hors-sol

exploring the realms of deep, pulsating rhythms with his @hors-sol crew for some time now, Maryu traverses frequencies that incapsulate the essence of our sonic utopia perfectly - vividly transporting us to the shimmering, golden shores of the South

his admiration for these sounds and culture that surrounds them is presented perfectly through his 'Otium' store deep-dive into trippy wax gems and introspective literature

as well as his sonic endeavours, Maryu struck a chord with us due to his deep love and appreciation for the earth we know, taking great interest and influence from caring for our climate and biodiversity 

let the sand trickle between your toes while you get lost in this slice of sun-blushed psychedelia from times gone by and join us 'In Search of a Lost Paradise'

thank you for the hypnotising journey, Maryu

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In the South of Plantera lies a secluded beach, hidden by dense vegetation and bound by steep cliffs. The sand is smooth, regular, without any trace of life. The sea is calm, at peace. 

From a sprawling flower bed emerges a silhouette, breaking the intimacy of the beach with reflections of gold. Describing voluptuously a zenithal sun, they scribe circles on the warm sand - filling each palm, letting the grains slip between their fingers like time in an hourglass before the wind sweeps this golden dust towards the ocean.

Behind, a group of musicians sit in the shade of a palm tree. One blows into a pungi, creating sounds known to charm serpents. Another taps on a ghumot, a terracotta pot with a mouthpiece covered by a varan skin. A third musician, sitting in their tailpiece, claws with rough fingers the strings of an old worn sitar.

From the first air, several groups of beings appear on the beach. Many with long wavy hair, body art and piercings which glimmer in the sunlight, covered from head to toe in colourful fabrics. The air teams with organic and psychedelic frequencies, delivering a transcendental energy which harmonizes bodies into motion. 

In this natural setting, on the edge of this world, the ceremony will last several dawns and dusks... before marking the telluric spirits of Plantera for life"

017 | 'In Search of a Lost Paradise' by Maryu

Welcome aboard the Wax Galactique-Express as we journey through the musicdream—a sequence of frequencies shaping dream-states from the higher plane. Join the beings of the 5th dimension.

"Dreaming and thinking are individual realities, whilst outer reality is a shared agreement. It's the one dream we all share..."

So kick back, lights out, hit some woosaaa, and tap into the 'musicdream.'

A staple in the Welsh underground, @shaun_waxgalactique has continuously championed frequencies born of the psychedelic realm through his bag of plastic oddities as well as lacing his own production and synth work into this voyage 🪄

it's a pleasure to have 1/3 of our WXG homies, who we've shared beautiful moments with over the years, diving deep into their collection (and our minds 😵‍💫)
