Electronic DJ MiXES

"Lethe" means oblivion and is the name for the river of forgetfulness from Greek mythology, we chose this name because the mix is recorded in a time we want to forget but the mix is too good not to share with you, so enjoy this emotional roller-coaster and follow the river.

The Shamaniac Movement - Lethe Mix

No.33 in the Sinchi & Friends mix series are the @shamaniacmovement . A really interesting  project in our home city of Amsterdam, combining art, music and shamanism.  We really enjoyed their recent EP Sham-Dee, which was one of the most original releases of the last year and delighted to give you this glimpse into their world.

1) Introduce yourself?

Hey there, we are Kiki Toao & Rombout, The Shamaniac Movement. 
We live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Since Kiki's calling to the shamanic path we have made it our goal to incorporate our music and art with our spiritual development, which is resulting in all sorts of crazy creativity.

2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months? 
Traveling to Costa Rica for shamanic education, production of a music video for our track Sibaso-Dukun, release of Sham-Dee EP and we've done some very nice DJ gigs and shamanic ceremonies.

3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?
First of all continuation of shamanic education, it involves a lot of studying so hopefully there will be some time left for more music making and we're thinking about making a new film. 
Very special is our collaboration with The Gardens of Babylon who organizes monthly events, combining house music with spirituality. We perform shamanic readings and cleansings during the nights.

Sinchi & Friends 33 - The Shamaniac Movement

The Agharo Mix Series

Jaco Perroud of the Sinchi Collective recently created Agharo.... a book, a philosophy and accompanying tarot deck. To celebrate its launch, we are inviting friends to pick a card and create a mix inspired by it. Second is Kiki Toao of @shamaniacmovement . The Shamaniac Movement is a shamanic art and music project by Kiki Toao & Rombout, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The Card

The inner self represents the circle of intervention, perception affected by the being. Subjectivity and possibility. It is the circle of relativity. The world in which our norms coexist. Not the world we all share but the world belonging only to us, which is attached to our individuality. Is abstraction appropriated and sealed by our look upon that which surround us. The certainty of our existence; the core of our uniqueness. The deepest interiority in communion with the self. That which access isn’t granted to others but us. The most secret side known only by the god creator.

What was the thinking behind this mix?

When I looked at the illustration on the card I immediately knew I wanted to record a mix of industrial techno I’d been collecting for months. I wanted to do this for a long time already, but never managed to. 

I thought this mix was going to be an easy one, because I had a long list of great tunes. But it proved to be far more complicated. At the end of this project I wanted to be able to say: “Here you go, now you know everything there is to know about me”.

But how was I going to communicate this view on my self, of being this strange mix of sensitivity and strength, of being this passionate, incurable romanticist with an anarchistic twist?”, because that’s what the card was inspiring me with.

Then the hummingbird in the picture, serving as a guide, said:
”This is what’s already known, go deeper!”.
I read the explanatory description of the card again, and got totally lost in these phrases:

‘The deepest interiority in communion with the self. That which access isn’t granted to others but us. The most secret side known only by god creator’.

I ended up going on some shamanic journey of deliciously tripping on new music I was collecting to add to the mix, while running into this chaos of defence mechanisms surrounding my own inner self, and eventually actually experiencing what’s going on in the ‘deepest interiority in communion with my inner self’. 

Ehhh, quite a lot! Help?

It’s taken a lot of time to collect additional tracks to express myself with, and to mould them all with the original plan into a coherent mix has been quite a technical challenge.  But the most interesting part of this project is gaining this insight only just now, while I’m writing this for publication:

My most secret side is not my vulnerability, it is not my greatest fear or some fantasy about a hidden desire, but the interaction between them.

Thanks for listening,
I hope you enjoyed the mix.

Love, Kiki Toao

The Card - Guardian of Knowledge - Exilar ur ata Taril

The Guardian of Knowledge brightens our path, symbolised as a ray of light that appears breaking the obscurity we’re immersed in. We are awakened to what we need to see. We’re given the key to unlock the doors that hold us back from progress. We grow wiser within and without.

The Guardian protects us from false knowledge and misgiving information, from treacherous knowledge, from doubt based on obscurity of perception. The Guardian is known in the days of the Great War as Luberien. In his memory – vast as no other– is gathered the knowledge of every living man. 

Good understanding, truth, news, reflection, pleasant memories.
Knowledge for good, impartiality, learning, information as key. To know is to evolve.

What was the thinking behind this mix?

Since about two years i have an enormous craving for knowledge about all kinds of topics, like: history, politics, culture & religion and the last couple of months its been boiling down into a certain direction for which i'm very happy because before that it was so random that i was just absorbing everything which
contained letters, from street signs to reading subtitles a million times when a movie or series is put on pause. This obsessive behaviour started to worry me and i tried through meditation to find more direction or clarity, this helped a little bit and reading some of Graham Hancock's books also formed a clearer picture of where to look. But since i pulled the card from the Agharo deck it all started to make sense and since then i know where to go. So i used this process for the mix and i can tell you doing it in this context is next level, slowly picking out music has been ok but actually starting was a real deal because i knew/felt that its going to be one hell of a magical trip but one night i went to bed tired and uninspired after trying to make music and of course as soon I put my head on my pillow like Lego or a puzzle or better yet Tetris the whole first +- 30 min formed in my head with loops, quotes, fx, songs and transitions everything, oooo so annoying, i thought about getting up to write everything down but i knew i would be up for hours so i just went to sleep. Luckily when i got up the next morning I remembered a lot of these things so i wrote them down. When i finally started to build the mix it all fell into place and i just went on and on until it was finished, it's no standard dj mix but a mega-mashup with all kinds of bit's & piece's from all kinds of music from all over the world and i'm really happy with it so enjoy my musical journey inspired by The Guardian of Knowledge.

Following the zero meridian, we're finding ourselves in a picturesque place that represents harmony and unity of two rivers: Amstel and Hey...
Foreign language tickles the ears, aromas of incense hover in the air, mixed with vapors of power plants, traveling with assorted cyclists ...
In this territory, dotted with energy channels, transmitting creative signals to the full 360 degrees, outside of times and spaces located a secret datsan, in the cells of which l, mysterious shamanic practices and rituals are performed under the clear guidance of the superiors ...

The sounds of footsteps reflect like a pulssr at winding corridors...view follows exponentially located at walls ancient mandalas and sacral symbols...up the stairs, down, right, left...doors are silently closed behind of us, delineating the space of a big hall, in the centre of which two figures: the shamanic movement at indescribable dresses with various artefacts, mysterious stones and fancy tools have already begun their ritual...space is transformed and started to swinging us around the introspective axis, leveling relative to the inner center, directly to the source of power...
Connection with vibrations of this place, following percussion rhythm of heart, we synchronize with the rhythms that immerse us in the dance, embody the sound and draw you along spirals in all directions ...
