saQi - Spirits Cradle Feat. Worth & Leah Song Of Rising Appalachia

Midnight confession

I wrote the original music for this song years ago and could only come up with one line "Lead me into, show me what you got". My friend Charis actually came up with that lyric (to give her credit where credit is due) but we were never able to develop any other lyrics. I wanted a song that invited the listener into a deep sensual place of surrender. With all our effort, we just couldn't find the words. I tried several other vocalists but nothing stuck. 

Several months ago, I had given Nadine (Colibri) a folder of instrumentals that I hadn't released. One day, she surprised me and sent her first take at what was to become "Into Your Wild". Her voice is enchanting, and her choice of melodies and harmonies were exactly what this song needed to give it the breath that it now contains. It has been a pleasure writing songs with her and we have three more in the works, including a new original song/collaboration between myself, Colibri and Phutureprimitive (coming very soon). 

I hope this song....takes you....into your wild. 

Warmly, 

-DB

The Police "Walking On The Moon" - Broken Open

artist: @thehumanexperience
label: Slow Down
release: 02/14/2017

"This is an age old story, of a man once a boy..."

On February 14th, David Block aka The Human Experience opened his heart to the world as he released his 6th full length album (collaborations and EPs excluded). The album, titled "Broken Open," examines the depths of the most difficult of human emotions, the "age old story," love. "Broken Open," like love, is complex and wrought with all that comes with falling in love, being in love, letting go of love, and (most importantly) loving oneself. The 13-song album immerses the listener in sadness, joy, compassion, bliss, peace, and all of the other beautiful feelings that come with experiencing what it is to love and to be loved.

The title track, "Broken Open," showcases Block's talent for blending electronic compositions with organic sounds featuring heartbreaking vocals and a piano that makes you feel like you're in a smoky jazz club which transition nicely into the scat-like snaps in "Traveling Blues," and a trombone (played by Mal Webb) that makes you feel at turns excited and lonely.

When asked about the album, Block said, "The songs explore the full spectrum of love; Birthing from innocence to heartbreak to love in the other to breaking free to finding love in oneself" - from highs that make you feel as though you're "Walking on the Moon," to heart wrenching lows as love "Slips Away."

True to form, Block showcases his talents while embracing the strengths in others. The album has many incredible collaborations, with tracks featuring The Grouch, Quixotic, Leah Song (Rising Appalachia) and more.

Block has built a diverse fan base from countries around the world and played events ranging from Burning Man, Boom, Coachella, Electric Forest, Wakarusa, Lightning in a Bottle, Sonic Bloom, Symbiosis, and Envision to name a few. David has shared the stage with artists such as Thievery Corporation, Bonobo, Tipper, Emancipator, and many more.

While Block's sultry beats and cohesive sound have always been seductive, "Broken Open" brings a brazen vulnerability that comes with maturity. More than just sharing emotion with the listener, Block provides something more - something new. "Broken Open" goes out on a stylistic limb which is both innovative and refreshing.

"It is different, and I'm embracing that it's great to be different sometimes," says Block.
 
The album serves as the debut album for the "Slow Down" label.

Broken Open (feat. Michael Travis + Kat Factor) - The Human Experience

In the third installment of a monthly series, going by the name CASTANEA, Rising Appalachia’s David Brown releases a remix of the band’s song “Synchronicity.” Maintaining the downtempo, head nod vibe of “Novels” and “Zavey,” Brown reached a bit further back into his own roots for this one. Here's what he had to say about the track:
 
“Towards the end of my teens and early twenties, I was in a very urban phase of life – skateboarding, scratching records, taking trips from the mountains where I grew up into the urban landscapes of NYC, ATL, and Baltimore. Nearly everything about the hip-hop and street skate culture I sought out, and was subsequently shaped by. I feel lucky, looking back now, to have been around for that era, before copyright almost crushed hip-hop and before skating became so sanitized.” 
 
“My setup was pretty classic... I had this hooked-on-phonics style headset for my monitors and microphone that I ‘borrowed’ from my high school and I recorded mixtapes with two turntables onto my first computer’s sandwich sized hard-drive. Recently I pulled all my samples off of it, and was able to incorporate some of them into the remix of Synchronicity.”
 
“I was introduced to the concept of synchronicity around that time, too. It’s a long story but by lucky accident I found a booked called “Synchronicity: Science, Myth and Trickster” and it was one of the best windfalls of my life, a missing puzzle piece that really helped guide me. I came to see those things – the chance encounters, the dreams getting reflected in waking life, the amazing coincidences – as signals from a deep, wild and mysterious force in our world. As the classic sample which I scratch says, I love it.”
 
“Musically, I wanted to see what it would sound like to shift the rhythm of the song, and then apply the textures of the 90s hip-hop era to it – the kalimba, the upright bass, the scratching. I’m thinking that next month I’ll work on another Rising Appalachia track from the Wider Circles LP, and then start spinning the RA vinyl that’s about to drop, “ALIVE!”

Poranguí - Ayahuasca Remixed 
On November 3rd Desert Trax presents Ayahuasca Remixed from Brazilian-born artist Poranguí Carvalho McGrew, translated and remixed through the lenses of visionary producers like Shamans Dream,AtYyA, Drumspyder, Kaminanda,Liquid Bloom, Numatik, Yaima, and many others. These 11 tracks were born from a prayer to bridge worlds from the consciousness of the master plant medicine onto the dance floor. It came to life through the meeting and friendship with musician and producer Sahuna Love (Shaman's Dream), and blossomed with the help of Amani Friend (Desert Dwellers & Desert Trax). Each song weaves the medicine of the original, while beckoning listeners to explore and express their prayers or meditations through embodied movement. Allow yourself to be moved -para el bien de todos.
