This musical journey is a heart-opening, foot-stomping sonic feast for the senses. Beginning with the powerful, haunting and mesmerising version of Wicked Games  by Ursine Vulpine & Annaca, the set expands slowly into oriental-infused rhythms and melodics before upping the tempo into Afro-House mood, finally settling into a grounded, opening heartfulness with Moonclipse's Heaven to Hell and landing with &ME's Remix of Only You.

Creatus Part 1

A trip into the realm of psychedelic assisted therapy, as hallucinogenic mushrooms go on trial in South Africa.

Magic mushrooms could be the kind of breakthrough for mental health treatment that penicillin was as an antibiotic nearly a century ago. Early research into the potential of psychedelics for treating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and even alcoholism is so promising, some argue that these substances shouldn't be kept ‘just for the treatment of sick people, but should be used for the betterment of well people’. 

The Psychonauts dives into the strange new world of psychedelic-assisted therapy. It stumbles upon an underground movement of self-styled healers and self-medicators. It contemplates whether this could be a new chapter for the environmental movement. And it follows a bid in the South African courts, to have hallucinogenic mushrooms removed from a rogue’s gallery of illicit drugs.

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.
