A3K305 Ryan Berkeley - 11 November 2021

📅RELEASE 30.08.2025📅

This time a mix between current mood (mentioned before) and summer vibe. 

Aurora in the Desert is a cinematic and hypnotic journey, blending the deep pulse of Organic House with the slow, immersive flow of Downtempo and the tribal heartbeat of Deep Afro. Layered with ambient electronica textures and subtle industrial grit, the track unfolds like a surreal aurora shimmering above silent dunes - vast, intimate, and endlessly evolving.

Built on warm sub-bass, earthy percussion, and spacious atmospheres, it’s music for mindful listeners, late-night travelers, and seekers of hypnotic rhythm. No drops, no hooks - only motion, texture, and transformation.

Next ones will probably almost all have the same topic (systemic/institutional injustice) being emotional, deep, some with own lyrics (from soft, over direct with some anger and maybe last my first explicit song in German and English - well overdue here...^^) before I can really release other songs again...

Thanks for any support!

Aurora in the Desert

Writer:
Echoe Melody Paul
Composer:
Shyralee Mitchell - Destin Isaiah Markland

About the Original
More than music: A soul-coded transmission of remembrance, crafted to awaken, heal, and transform your life. It is a luminous and haunting debut—a sonic constellation of play, grief, wonder, and spiritual power. 

With harp, rap, orchestral textures, subtle electronics, layered vocals, and poetic precision, Shyralee weaves a deeply emotional experience that feels at once ancient and intimate. It is an evolution in music invoking seven layers of activation. Which makes it a living, breathing soul technology.

About the remix
This remix immerses the listener in a sonic journey, staging a battle between spiritual energy and dystopian technology. The track opens with the serene chimes of meditative rituals, creating a tranquil space before descending into a gritty, distorted soundscape.

Piercing through the industrial haze, Shyralee’s vocals emerge crisp and refreshingly clear. Her voice acts as a powerful beacon, a constant reminder that the future is not predetermined—the choice of how we live remains firmly in our hands.

Awaken Dear Ones

Awaken Dear Ones (The New Ways Remix)

My newest pesonal EP, with more personal tracks than ever been released. The Wolf goes over the people who are crazy about Bram, a wolf young who (persumely) has bitten some kids at the Utrechtse Heuvelrug Park, When 1 September brings you in a remembering state about how evil and sad this month is, what this is the month where 9/11 happenend, where The Leaves Fall deals about the house market crisis in The Netherlands, where i ask myself of i gonna leave to the USA or stay in the Netherlands with my elderly parents, The Last track is not less personal like the others, what it is about people bidding to the lord to protect them. I hope that you like the music this week.

Good Lord

Music to wake up to. Music to fare evade to. Music 'til smoko.

Inner Totality provided a full 120 of left-field electronica and psychedelic downtempo gems. In the bag - tracks from Dust-E-1, The Orb, and Inner Totality himself.

Inner Totality - August 2020

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

This year is off and running! (Please slow down), alas, let us dive into another offering from the audible gods, this time we’re joined by local legend Ryan Berkeley. This busybody is across every iteration of the music scene in Naarm; with fingers in all the good pies. From Hopkins Creek (great music festival), and The Love Above (fantastic record label and sick parties), to dj’ing, producing, and playing live, as well as drumming in the band ‘Plastic’. He’s a nice guy to boot (and great in the kitchen). His continuous support for the scene hasn’t gone unnoticed and the trajectory he’s on will take him to the stars at least. All of the above disciplines shine through in this incredibly innate musical resume. 

Layers on layers, on layers. Fluctuating soundscapes are strategically interwoven to produce this galactic tapestry. The blending of ideas and concepts throughout the mix is sublime as we hear Berkeley fully flexing his musical knowledge across genres. Spaced out funk, minimalist proto pop, mod classical ambient, future folk, peppery street soul, and even some MF Doom (RIP) materialise in rhythmic waves, slowly and hypnotically crashing against a phantasmic shore. A feel-good affair from start to finish which perfectly embodies Berkeley's musical ideals.  

Sit back and press play for the fist of many times. 

You’re welcome.

Ep 233 w/ Love Above (AU/NZ)

Ryan Berkeley is a DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Naarm/Melbourne with his fingers in many musical pies: he is one half of Love Above Records; a member of jazzy house group Lush Life and local alternative-rock band Plastic. In 2018 Ryan released his debut EP on local label Houses in Motion showcasing a diverse side to his productions, with his songs “You Dance, You Move” and “All Love” picked up around the globe. His live sets use analogue gear to make his stripped-back take on house music, described by some as “polished, textured and leaving the whole crowd craving more”. This mix features the best of what makes the Ryan Berkeley sound appealing: house music dipped in a minimalist and raw approach with nods to the halcyon years of house and techno.
