The Kingdom of Benin, also known as the Benin Kingdom, was a pre-colonial kingdom in what is now southern Nigeria. It is not to be confused with Benin, the post-colonial nation state. The Kingdom of Benin's capital was Edo, now known as Benin City in Edo state. The Benin Kingdom was "one of the oldest and most highly developed states in the coastal hinterland of West Africa", it was formed around the 11th century, until it was annexed by the British Empire in 1897. The original people and founders of the Benin Kingdom, the Edo people, were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) who called their land Igodomigodo. The first Ogiso (Ogiso Igodo), wielded much influence and gained popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace intrigue erupted and crown prince Ekaladerhan, the only son of the last Ogiso, was sentenced to death as a result of the first queen (who was barren) deliberately changing an oracle's message to the Ogiso. In carrying out the royal order that he be killed, the palace messengers had mercy and set the prince free at Ughoton near Benin. When his father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty officially ended. The people and royal kingmakers preferred their late king's son as the next to rule. The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan had by this time changed his name to Izoduwa (meaning 'I have chosen the path of prosperity') and found his way to Ile-Ife. It was during this period of confusion in Benin that the elders, led by Chief Oliha, mounted a search for the banished Prince Ekaladerhan - whom the Ife people now called Oduduwa. Oduduwa, who could not return due to his advanced age, granted them Oranmiyan, his grandson, to rule over them. Oranmiyan was for many years the ruler of Africa, the one and only king, who he build the legendary pyramids of Senegal, now vanished, one of the lost wonders of today’s world!!

@Dirlasion from Thessaloniki, Greece.He has been mixing some crazy tunes for the past 30 years he has been in the industry.His sets takes us on a journey to continents with diverse cultures and he has a hold on several genres like electronic, psychill, ambient and of course downtempo.

This is a spiritual journey, a deeper approach than usual mixes. Serious storytelling. Not just art, not just sounds. Power in the music and message. From styles from the trippy side to the dreamy side, or both! It has a deeply spiritual focus. With serious storytelling. With great ethno-organic, organic house, slowtech, psychill, psydub, psybient, downtempo, and whatever else encapsulates the otherworldly in this world. :)

Getting us back to the beginning energies of mankind, thus "primordial" energy. A exploration of the heart and soul and mind and body to find what makes us connected since the very beginning of mankind. What do we share as human beings and various tribes? This energy empowers and also heals us to the core. It is the life force, so the mix will have that original life force and be share in the way of all stories of the ancient storytelling oral tradition, which make up true history that is passed down from generation to generation.

Dirlasion and Desert Raven (@desertravenmusic):  Dirlasion is a good friend and spiritual brother to Desert Raven, the mystical DJ-producer and founder of The Odyssey, Primordial Grooves, Rakhma, and Mystical Vision music collectives.  Dirlasion is currently helping Desert Raven, through his biggest mission yet, in the Mystical Vision community, cultivate a strong, spiritually-centered music community based on mysticism, healing, honest conversations among members of society, and a deeper journey in life, including the search for God, particularly in music.  Desert Raven and Dirlasion both believe that electronic music absolutely has room for their type of deeper, spiritually-focused music and that mystical vision is needed to help discern the world around us and convey a more lasting and powerful message of love.
