Poranguí’s Beauty Way Remixes is a masterful celebration of sonic transformation, weaving ancestral rhythms with contemporary electronic energy to honor the interconnectedness of all life. Featuring a remarkable roster of global collaborators—including Novalima, Rodrigo Gallardo, Liquid Bloom, Temple Step Project, Morillo, Yemanjo, Uji, and more—the album reimagines the heartfelt tracks of Poranguí’s acclaimed Beauty Way album. Each remix bridges cultures, traditions, and genres, offering a fresh perspective on music as a tool for healing, connection, and collective renewal.

Each track unfolds as a story, reinterpreted through the hands of world-class producers. Liquid Bloom and Bloomurian’s “Samaúma” evokes the wisdom of the Amazon’s grandmother trees, grounding listeners with hypnotic melodies and ceremonial rhythms. Chilean producer Rodrigo Gallardo transforms “Madre de la Sierra” into a folktronica anthem that celebrates our deep symbiosis with the mountain mother. West Coast bass music innovator Morillo lends his lush, earth-shaking production to “AnceStars,” while Peruvian collective Novalima brings their Afro-Peruano roots to “sKin,” blending ancestral grooves with a resonant call to unity. Temple Step Project’s cinematic remix of “These Hands” combines thunderous percussion with driving basslines, igniting a powerful call to action for environmental stewardship. The album closes with a stunning collaboration between David Satori (Beats Antique, Dirtwire) and Evan Hatfield, who reimagine “Gift of Life” as a lush, cinematic soundscape of sitar, live strings, and electronic textures, breathing new vitality into the original’s charango orchestral essence.

At its core, Beauty Way Remixes is a prayer woven like a sweetgrass braid—each producer a vital strand, united in rhythm and intention to create something greater than the sum of its parts. The album invites us to remember our shared interdependence and rise together as stewards of a more harmonious world. With its vibrant tapestry of rhythms and cultures, this album reminds us to walk in beauty, restore the sacred, and let the rhythm guide us home.

“I want listeners to feel that they are rising, ascending to the highest version of themselves, releasing everything that is not serving them, and opening the channels within for the universe to flow through them in its purest divine expression.” ~ J.Pool

This timeless offering will surely lift your body and spirit both on and off the dancefloor at a time when we all need it most.

The age of sonic medicine continues to unfold in the shape of Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s landmark curative music collection, ‘Kuya Sessions: Cura.’ Created as an aural container for the cutting-edge frontiers of psychedelic-assisted therapy, this extrasensory journey invites listeners to cross the threshold into the realm of shadow and light, uniting the principles of indigenous wisdom, plant medicine, and holistic psychology with the world-bridging potential of cinematic sound design.

Designed for Kuya, a state-of-the-art health clinic in Austin, TX that is incorporating paradigm-shifting therapeutics, integrative psychiatry, and regenerative medicine into a visionary approach to trauma processing and healing, ‘Cura’ offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and producers Amani Friend and Poranguí.

Embedded with the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, ‘Kuya Sessions: Cura’ is best experienced in its “Journey Mix” format, where the boundaries between movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner-exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

The first installment in this four-part release series, ‘Cura’ draws upon a grounding array of instruments, vocalizations, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Amani Friend’s tenacity for surreal, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, ‘Kuya Sessions: Cura’ will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance.

Akasha is the third offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. We are now prepared to enter the exquisitely ethereal realm of Akasha. The gentle welcoming melody in “Path of Illumination” relaxes us in preparation for our journey. Vocalist Meagan Chandler sings four of the ninety-nine names of Allah as Poranguí sings four names of god in different African traditions. This invocation, joining male and female and diverse cultural traditions, serves as a prayer for protection as we gradually remove the veil and dissolve into the cosmic memory of divine consciousness. We are becoming formless, egoless, as we float in the liminal space between life and death. The cosmos slows down. Vulnerable and open to the benevolent pulse of the universe, we are drawn into the inner sanctum of the akashic womb. 

In “Eternal Horizons” a soothing female voice, accompanied by cello and piano, sings a sailor’s folk song, guiding us deeper into the sea of love and loss, encouraging us to surrender more, to shed that which no longer serves. We know that we must let go in order to move on, that we must metaphorically die in order to be reborn, the eternal return. As we sail towards the event horizon and pass the point of no return, we are greeted by a gentle male voice that embraces us in compassion as it slowly delivers us to a brand new world, where we are bathed in peace, love, and understanding. 

It is time to come home to the “Heart of the Mother,” where we can integrate our cosmic journey in the warm arms of our beloved Pachamama. From our experience of ethereal awareness, we have come to truly know in the deepest depths of souls that everything is being held as is meant to be, that we are safe and whole, that we are protected by the supreme love of energetic forces that lie beyond the beyond. We see that our own capacity for love, as fragile as our earthly bodies and yet as infinite as the akashic realm of which it is a part, makes an essential contribution to the unfolding divine plan.

Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Akasha is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner-exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

Akasha draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, Celtic runes, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s magical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Akasha will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Liquid Bloom for Kuya, in support of paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Akasha offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.

Kuya Sessions Akasha - Journey Mix

The ceremonial instrumentation and spacious sounds of Poranguí and Liquid Bloom are tastefully reimagined by downtempo bass producer Skysia.

Remember (Live Solo Performance)

Sol is the fourth offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. Akasha brought us to exquisitely ethereal realms and now Sol carefully weaves the terrestrial and celestial sounds of our ancient solar origin as children of the sun. 

“Igniting the Sacred” beckons us to venture beyond the familiar world of illusion. In preparation for the great journey ahead, the soothing sound of vocalist Meagan Chandler and Poranguí ask the benevolent guardian Spirits to open the roads and grant us safe passage.   

Gently purified in the celestial flames of truth, the imaginal cells of our awareness emerge from the primordial sound of “Liminal Sun” to reconnect with the original solar pulse of all creation.  Ancestral Nahuatl invocations carry us across the timeless song lines to meet our heart’s most sacred essence.  

As we emerge in “The Great Turning”, we are embraced by the rolling thunder of our majestic blue home amidst the vast cosmos.  Through the dark side of the Sol, we return more whole, awakening to the blessings of the Waters with an original prayer song for the Afro-Brazilian goddess of the sea, Iemanja, and a morning water prayer song from Native American elder, Chief Delbert “Blackfox” Pomani of the Hunkpapa Lakota.

Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Sol is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

Sol draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, indigenous invocations, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s alchemical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Sol will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Amani Friend (Liquid Bloom) in support of emerging paradigm-shifting medicine and psychedelic-assisted therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love.

Chilean producer and multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Gallardo revitalizes Poranguí’s original track Madre de la Sierra with a captivating folktronica remix. This fresh interpretation not only celebrates the original's essence but also emphasizes its profound message regarding the interconnectedness of humanity and nature.

The remix serves as a reminder of the symbiotic relationship between us and the natural world. Telling us how the mountain mother provides everything necessary for us to live and how within her contains every part of our body, as we contain every part of her body within us. Reminding us that the desecration of the mountain is the desecration of ourselves and when we destroy the sacred sites, we forget who we are.

Poranguí’s “Walk in Beauty,” from his acclaimed 2023 Beauty Way album, is reimagined through a masterful remix by Yemanjo. Rooted in Poranguí’s live-recorded Brazilian Batucada rhythms, West African ngoni, acoustic guitar, and soul-stirring vocals, the remix honors the original’s organic essence while weaving in deep electronic textures. Yemanjo’s production brings a fresh, rhythmic pulse to the song, creating a dynamic soundscape that carries its heartfelt message forward: a call to live in harmony with each other and the Earth.

Releasing as part of Beauty Way Remixes on April 11, 2025, this track stands as a centerpiece of the global remix album, which features producers from around the world. Yemanjo blends lead synth melodies and dance-driven grooves with the song’s organic roots, amplifying its timeless themes of connection, healing, and beauty in a way that resonates with today’s shifting world. While Poranguí’s live performances remain fluid and improvised, the remix’s spirit will flow through his international tour, including a main stage appearance at Colours of Ostrava. Together, Poranguí and Yemanjo unite cultures and communities on the dancefloor, inspiring movement and reflection—a powerful reminder to walk, talk, and live in beauty.

Ganesha 
Recorded live at Lightning in a Bottle (LiB) Music festival in California 

Ganesha opens the roads marking the beginning of the album with the deep Tibetan prayer bowl laying the resonant foundation. The ancient Sanskrit mantra invokes the elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, Ganesha himself, offering freedom from obstacles in our path in order to manifest our individual and collective intentions.

Lyrics 

Om Gam Shreem Ganapataye Namaha 

Translation / Explanation:
Om/Aum is a sacred primordial sound & symbol that signifies the essence of all creation, consciousness or Atman.  It is often recited at the beginning of all Hindu prayers.
Gam is the sound representing the energy of Ganesha himself - as remover of obstacles. It is his bija (seed syllable) mantra.
Shreem is a another bija (seed) mantra vibrating the essence of the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi 
Ganapataye, another name for Ganesha and is the formal Sanskrit pronunciation of the god's name.
Namaha is difficult to translate literally, but its meanings include “it is not mine” and “in your essence, we bow to you.”

Stardust (Desert Dwellers Remix)

Buy on Bandcamp

Following last month's inaugural installment from Desert Trax, the world and electronic music label releases yet another star-studded line-up of producers re-imagining the rich compositions of World Soul artist, Poranguí. 

This latest installment opens with famed English producer, El Búho, whose Latin American folk and cumbia-inspired take on “Danza del Viento” absolutely lifts the Spirit. Both Momentology and DJ Taz Rashid have been on a hot streak, pairing up for a number of releases on Desert Dwellers' label, but this time the pair aim for a Latin-focused, earthy remix of “Canto de la Selva.” Coming off a massive Desert Trax release earlier this summer in Apu, duo Jakare (Italian producers Halfred and Lo.Renzo) bring their South American slow house sound to Poranguí's “Otorongo”. 

Newcomers to the label Ryan Herr, Walkerji, and Baptiste Sejourne are joined by returning favorites Moon Frog, Ancestral Elephants, and Erothyme. Once again one of the label's most prolific artists, Poranguí, has woven together a powerful constellation of talent to interpret these potent medicine songs.
