The Second Arrow
The parable of the second arrow is a well-known Buddhist story about dealing with suffering more skilfully. It is said the Buddha once asked a student,
‘If a person is struck by an arrow, is it painful? If the person is struck by a second arrow, is it even more painful?’
He then went on to explain,
‘In life, we can’t always control the first arrow. However, the second arrow is our reaction to the first. This second arrow is optional.’
This is sometimes interpreted as meaning that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

The Second Arrow

“The sonic equivalent of enjoying a cigar in your leather-upholstered vintage car while hurtling down the autobahn. Unashamedly nostalgic for the polyrhythms of ’70s Berlin school, yet infused with contemporary drone sensibilities and lifted by soaring solo lines.” - Milly Manet

Crossing The Line

Andrew Ostler - Crossing The Line Pt 1 (Available at Behind The Sky store)

The Blossom Seed & Suduaya - Roots (Symbiosis Part 2 EP)

A preview to the new Shwamp album - 2022.  
Soon on Soundcloud and all platforms.

Deep inside the mountains of Eastern Taiwan a place of isolation was found to let go, forgive, and wash away all the self doubt, grief and anxiety. Guided by the teachings and philosophies of the Zen Buddhist and Tao Te Ching, a state of flow forms from within, dissolving all the troubles into the great river of thoughts and feelings, soothing the soul and easing the mind. This fluid state of energy flows through everything, ever-changing and ungraspable, cleansing us as we let go. Fluide is full of emotive characteristics that touch your Heart, Mind and Soul. A minimalistic approach, highlights the organic elements, instrumentation and real-world samples. This bringing the listeners’ attention closer to the progressive development of the rhythms and melodies. The layered signature psychedelic sounds fill the rest of the sonic plane taking you on a floating adventure full of emotion and gratitude.

Invocation

Connecting the sonic domains of reverie and motion, Wolf Tech’s lustrous new EP “Navigate” is a mesmerizing odyssey through ethereal instrumentals, crystalline rhythms and robust basslines. Flavoring classic sound styles with new-school aesthetics that blur the boundaries between classic dub, psychedelic glitch, rhythm and blues, jazz and world beat, “Navigate” is a fanciful play on genre that cannot be curtailed into any single category. A testament to the diversity of modern psychedelic electronica, Wolf Tech’s high-tech styling holds true as a downtempo voyage in one moment and hypnotic dance floor adventure in the next.

Special thanks to Joe Newman for the Vocals and Hang in this track!

04 How Do I Say This

A project unlike any other comes to Desert Trax this fall. Between 2009 and 2012, psychedelic bass producer Twin Shape created but left unfinished three songs that tied him inextricably to a certain time and place. As the years went on, these pieces remained rough and untouched, until he sought the help of three fellow producers to help him complete these songs.
The result is the 'Auxiliatus' EP. From the Latin to support, Alterra, Shwamp , and COAM stepped in to give Twin Shape distance, perspective, and help to revisit these original creations and give them a contemporary feel on Seeded, D&N and Glimpse, respectively. Three tightly wound compositions that have spanned nearly a decade since their inception now come to life with throbbing low end and alien implications. A strong recommendation for fans of Bird of Prey, Phutureprimitive, and Ott.

Standout Desert Trax contributor Key-G steps in for a remix of the Alterra collab, Seeded, to round out this 4-track set. The Auxiliatus EP is finally available September 13th.
