Work, eat, meet, repeat. A record of its own kind, hovering between dystopian reflections and confessional lullabies. Driven by strong lyrics and disrupted by rough heavy distortions and gentle sweeps, Afar dismantles every idea of genre and style. Always present, never in doubt, completed by two fantastic remixes from @Caleesi and @Michael-Mayer-Kompakt. »Rational Ecstasy« is an exceptional journey of unforeseen turning points.

In June 2018, East Forest was invited to Ram Dass’ home in Maui to join in conversation and record brand new teachings from the legendary teacher. After capturing these words of wisdom, East Forest returned to his studio in the high desert of Southern Utah to compose the soundtrack to beautifully support each songs’ subject. In these new recordings, Ram Dass’ words speak masterfully to the modern challenges that so many face with technology, dark thoughts, the nature of soul and so much more. The new East Forest record also features guest appearances from the likes of Trevor Hall and Grammy nominated artist, Krishna Das, all framing Ram Dass’ teachings with contemporary voices and cementing the 87 year old spiritual teacher into an echelon of relevancy and immediacy — offering a direct antidote for a highly polarized nation that is deeply in need of a universal voice of wisdom, connection and unconditional love. The album will release in four parts throughout 2019, with Chapter II debuting on March 22nd.

EAST FOREST has been the leader of underground ‘sound healing’ ceremonies around the world since 2008. Using music as a tool, he has trailblazed the field of organic tech, building bridges between the digital and natural world. East Forest’s has performed in a diverse range of settings from SXSW, Google, Mysteryland, to Grace Cathedral, Summit at Sea, as well as his own TEDx talk. 
More than a dozen albums later, East Forest continues to explore a path of emotionally driven music that pulls from ambient, classical, electronic and indie pop genres.

"East Forest doesn’t just create sound, he creates narrative,” (HuffingtonPost); His "blissful" (NPR)music invites listeners to "go on a journey of self discovery" (Earmilk). His 2016 collaboration with MC YOGI, Ritual Mystical, went #1 iTunes Electronic, #8 Billboard Dance and #2 Billboard New Age.

RAM DASS is one of the most important cultural figures from the 1960s and 70s. He is a psychedelic pioneer, author of Be Here Now, beloved spiritual teacher, and outspoken advocate for death-and-dying awareness. Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own. His unique skill in getting people to cut through and feel divine love without dogma is still a positive influence on many people from all over the planet.

Be Here Now, Ram Dass’s monumentally influential and seminal work, still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western articulation of Eastern philosophy, and how to live joyously a hundred percent of the time in the present, luminous or mundane. Forty years later, it’s still part of the timeless present. Being here now is still being here now.

On February 19th 1997, Ram Dass suffered a near-fatal stroke, which left him paralyzed on the right side of his body and expressive aphasia limiting his ability to speak, along with other challenging ailments.

Ram Dass now resides on Maui. His work continues to be a path of inspiration to his old students and friends as well as young people who are just discovering the path of Being Here Now. His most recent books include Be Love Now (2011), Polishing the Mirror: How to Live from Your Spiritual Heart (2013), Cookbook for Awakening (2017), and Walking Each Other Home (2018).

Irish producer collaborates to deliver dowtempo folktronica gem.

With Felicity Breathes, Peter Vogelaar continues to hone his unique production style that has landed him placements on ABC’s ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ and others. 

Collaborating with fellow Irishman Deaf Joe, the song laments the over analytical demise of a relationship.

Deaf Joe relates: "I had the beat track on my headphones for a few months, and knew it was special, I loved it and waited and waited til the right melody clicked in my head. I just got the urge one day and was like “right, you’re not leaving the studio today ‘til it’s done”. Lyrically I was thinking about that moment in a relationship when someone starts to ask questions about what’s going on. You’ve been coasting along and everything is amazing and then suddenly all you’re doing is talking about your relationship, ‘the’ relationship. It sucks all the magic out of things, turns everything upside down. The way I see it you’ve got to live in the present and be grateful for each day together. You’ve got to chill out, breathe, relax, or else you’re f*cked..."
