Easy Offbeat: Vol. 1

I create musical journeys with soul, and want them be heard by ears that resonate, hearts that feel and bodies that sense and move naturally and unselfconsciously. 
I feel fulfilled and joyous knowing people are grooving on the dance floor or enjoying the sonic experience on their couches at home. 

In my work as a psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher in the default world, creating and performing musical journeys has become like guiding a mindfulness practice: high frequency sounds, embodied movement, heart opening, inviting a deeper, purer,  connection to oneself and to others. 

 I love sounds rich in melodic nuance whether through instrumentals or voice, bass frequencies that create resonance deep within the body and have an organic, soulful quality. Whether mid, low or high energy, you will always hear and feel these qualities in my sets. 

Musicophilia (an enhanced appreciation of music) is actual a nervous system process, where we can bring immediate, non-verbal healing through dancing to sonic landscapes that engage multiple brain regions as will as the inner body. So this love that I experience as a DJ is a rich medium for healing through the universal pleasure that comes from immersion in sound.

Listener is the psytrance project of Dean Claassens. After being introduced to his first outdoor festival in 2012, the bug bit and he tried to attend as many festivals as possible. After having a profound experience in 2013, the seed of playing psytrance music for others had been planted. Being ever inquisitive, Dean had spent many years teaching himself the theory of DJing before finally purchasing his equipment and teaching himself practically.

Listener is very much led by melody, believing it to be the fundamental character in which a musical journey can be created. He believes in creating flow in music to hold a space so that those present can feel safe to evolve within themselves and to receive what they need at the time.

Listener debuted at Summer Camp in November 2021 to emphatic positive feedback and has played at every Summer Camp festival since. He joined the Psy-Kick Tuesdays radio show, aired on Mutha-FM. Hosted by @gryphon-x, Listener became a monthly resident on the line-up until the show ended in October 2023. He has also been asked to play at festivals in the Garden Route of the Western Cape, including ECHO Gatherings and Community. In Cape Town, Listener will be found on many Hidden Leaf Festival line-ups.

This is the collection of music recorded along Listeners journey, from past to present. 

Enjoy and #NeverStopListening
