Oh my, only you Tasha can pull this off❤️👏🏼👏🏼

This is a mix of many of my favorite Afro Downtempo tracks, including several of my unreleased edits as well as some classics that I have been playing over the last 2-3 years. 

African music holds a special place in my heart. Whether it be Morocco, Mali, Angola, something inside be resonates with the frequency of rhythms and melodies, and most of all the voices. Without the need to understand what is being said I feel the spirit of so many of these artists in me. 

This mix is a journey through the deserts, jungles, and villages of Africa, featuring remixes and edits of many amazing classic artists such as, Rokia Traoré, Oumou Sangaré, Ali Farka Touré, Fatoumata Diawara, Sonah Jobartah and more. 

Most of popular music in North & South America as well as Europe can have its roots traced back to Africa. The vibrant and diverse cultures of mama Africa have spread around the world influencing cultures in many ways. 

Please take the time to listen to the original albums and music of these artists, they are a great inspiration to me and musicians all around the world.

Weekly Session #069 | With Poyan Shifter

My live mix from Voodoo Village Festival (Oracle Stage, Belgium) on September 12 is here!

This mix was 100% improvised, as usual… feeling the energy of the place and flowing in the moment.
It was an incredible experience sharing music with such an amazing crowd. I’m thrilled to finally share this set with you, from that beautiful day. 

Download it here: https://hypeddit.com/aiwaa/aiwaalivemixvoodoovillagefestival2025

Special thanks to everyone who listens, shares, and downloads my music.

AIWAA Live Mix @Voodoo Village Festival, Belgium 2025

Welcome to this new RISE Breathwork journey which I created to help you slow down, reconnect, and rest into the deep stillness within ourselves. These sessions are dedicated to shift your state of being so you can rise to your full potential!

In the noise of daily life, it’s easy to forget that beneath the surface, there is always a calm, peaceful presence waiting for us. This session is designed to guide you back to that inner space the space between.

It is my mission is to make transformation accessible and help you integrate breathwork in to your day to day life. This is a reminder to all of us that peace is never outside, but always available within. In this practice, you’ll move through cycles of conscious connected breathing (activation) and retentions (relaxation), carried by one of my all-time favorite tracks: Azul. 

What to expect in this session:
• 15-minute guided breathwork journey
• Three cycles designed to connect you to stillness and peace
• Soundscape featuring Azul 
• A practice for calming the mind and connecting to yourself
• Accessible to all levels — no prior experience required

Wearing headphones is highly recommended — they help you stay in your own bubble and fully immerse without outside distractions.

You can do this session sitting or lying down in a comfortable, undisturbed space.

⸻

Breathwork Instructions

This is a connected breath practice — no pause between inhale and exhale.
• Inhale: Belly & chest expand
• Exhale: Belly & chest fall
• Breathing in: Mouth (more powerful) or nose (gentler)
• Breathing out: Mouth
• Each cycle includes dynamic breathing followed by two retentions (~45 sec after exhale, then ~45 sec after inhale).
• You may feel tingling, changes in temperature, or mild muscle tension — these are normal effects of breathwork.
• If overwhelmed, return to gentle breathing in and out through the nose (focus on prolonging your exhale).
• Always listen to your body and never force anything.

⸻

⚠ Important Contraindications

If you have a history of psychosis or epileptic seizures, this practice is not for you.

If you are currently pregnant, please listen closely to your body. Only participate if it feels right for you — and do not perform or hold any of the breath retentions.

If in doubt, consult your physician.

Live @ The Drop // 9.25.25

Hey Folks!

I'm super happy to present a new night and concept here in Oslo at the cosy bar 200.

The concept is simple, one couch with a guest and myself playing cosy music of all genres on a Sunday night in Oslo. The stage is set for people to sit with us and enjoy an all welcome living room vibe. 

Dance, sit, chill, play some chess, as you like :) 

Said guest "Titan" is a friend and colleague of the 200 house so it only felt right to invite him along, the tunes ain't to bad too <3

Join us on the next one, It's free - 09/11/25

Peace!

#01 Songs from the Couch - Kusht & Titan @ 200, Oslo

Elemental Vol. 10 continues the journey begun in Vol. 1, returning to the meeting point of nature and circuitry where country becomes techno and techno becomes country. The project carries forward the Elemental idea — that music, like weather or landscape, isn’t a metaphor but a living force that moves through us.

The sound remains tactile and porous: guitars still breathe, synths still shimmer, but the pulse runs deeper now, steadier, like groundwater finding its course beneath open fields. The arrangements move between organic drift and machine precision — footstep and kick drum, heartbeat and bassline — tracing a quiet dialogue between wilderness and pattern. It’s not fusion so much as coexistence: a music that sounds both handmade and algorithmic, campfire and circuitry, soil and signal.
