February Is For Lovers

The view of the moonrise from a beautiful living desert is a sight not so easily forgotten. In celebration of how fortunate we are to witness this beautiful dance of the Sun and Moon, I put together this funky and sacred soundscape to remember it by. It's moments like these that cast light deep into our souls, and build a foundation of joy and gratitude for a lifetime.

SubTerranean

With honor and overflowing gratitude I am pleased to share this recording from Moontribe's 30Year anniversary. 

Gathering in sacred celebration of the Moon, to dance with the music, and share what we find dear and special within ourselves, and with each and every one-another, is what brings us round moon and moon again... Finding ourself being guided by this reverence throughout the journey, pulled by the waves of mystique reflecting through Luna's glow.

This was a particularly potent gathering of hearts and souls for me and many of us there. I found myself overjoyed, overwhelmingly held, and loving and being loved beyond words, in ways I may have only dreamed.

Being asked to bring music out for this 30th year was a momentous honor, inspiring a deeper reverence within me, pushing me to allow, share, create, and find my light, to shine and play and reflect with those whom were dancing on that sacred ground. Gratitude for each of you who invited me into the fold, encouraging me to grow from within, and giving your love on the dance floor, where we've always been. 

Love is a guide, a gift, an action. May we each be fortunate to find ourself living in love.

Thanks to my amazing friends for taking these photos. I combined them with some creativity to make the cover art.

Van found his love for sonic delight with jams on improvised instruments as a child, sparking formal training as a percussionist, and leading him to journey deeper into music production and global collaboration. 

With sounds from deep veins of organic and electronic origins, Van Michael shares his productions and selections in celebration of the sound we find within ourselves. 

Ringing the sound system as a temple, a place of reverence, he meditates on subtle grooves, beckoning bliss and introspection, inviting a dance on the moonlit ground, in the journey to nirvana, celebrating rebirth and unity, with love for sharing the sounds we find within our soul. Poised to bring heights of elation in the deepest funky grooves, and to ignite a fire under-foot for your inner being. It's our time to keep shining!
