Name: Freak of an Eye (Original Mix) by The Witch Doctor
Duration: 7 min 33 s
Description: Freak of an eye in progress but love it's vibe.

Blooming in an organic prelude, we flow into gentle rhythms, coming downwards for a listening attitude, laying down on boundless pads. A selection of tracks to climb and descend a musical mountain. A downtempo journey in various episodes.

Shantiago is the electronic music project of the Spanish-born Santiago Nieto. As a Dj artist, he has been exploring since the 1990s an ample range of rhythms and melodies, from strict vertical patterns for the dance floor to horizontal delights inducing calming states. All inspired by the sound of the universe and the love of music. A believer in the harmonic connections between humans, and an activist of sound as a therapy, he carries a pouch with music suitable for the world.

''Where the mystery is a chant,
when the sacred of the word.
Gatekeepers open secrets,
fierce stories spreading love.

The ancestors smile in the jungle,
golden fountains flushing songs.
The elder explode in rapture,
celebration of mystical force.

The moon is gazing from the temple,
wild spirits carry old songs.
A vibrant fairy sits down and writes,
sages look at your enticing eyes.''

In the clutter of notifications, between the blur of posts and the endless doom scroll, something archaic vibrates in the spaces between thoughts. The sages no longer dwell in old books or ancient temples; they’re here, woven into pixels, wrapped around the axis of routine, whispering through the digital detritus in which we drown.

"The search for meaning in everything is overrated," they murmur. Meaning is fluid, always in beta, forever updated, patched, and remixed. In a world where truths are memes and beliefs crumble with the next viral post, the sages offer no solid ground. Instead, they urge: play. Engage with the fragments of reality that feel true now, even if they contradict what you believed yesterday. The stories we were told—about progress, enlightenment, some higher truth, or a perfect self—have been dismantled, deconstructed, tossed aside. And yet, amidst the debris, something lingers. Not an answer, but a feeling.

Stop fighting the static, the constant information overload, and instead see it as part of a larger rhythm. The chaotic flow of our hyper-connected world isn’t a distraction from reality—it is reality. The trick is not to escape it, but to dance with it, to find moments within the noise and make an art of living from it. This births a certain kind of freedom: the freedom to create meaning on your own terms, knowing all of it is temporary, knowing you may have to tear it all down tomorrow and start again. And that’s the beauty of it.

The whispers of the sages have changed, but the message is still clear, if you know how to listen: life is a bricolage. There is no master plan, no secret truth waiting to be uncovered. Just fragments—beautiful, broken, ever-changing pieces we stitch together as we go, knowing the seams won’t hold. And that’s exactly how it should be....

We are thrilled to present Shantiago with a masterclass of organic Downtempo mixing, creating a story so powerful and beautiful that melts us, one that combines in perfect symbiosis a timeless collection of tracks that we hope will delight you also ♡
Perfect to just chill... or some slow dances :) 

The culture we share is so vast that when One wants to create a tale like this, endless possibilities arise, and we all know that many different genre can fit in a Downtempo set, different sounds and influences, grooves, and approaches to rhythm, all the possible instruments, synths, waves, edited song... It's mind-blowing how we reinvent magic over and over and... It's just barely started!

Freak of an Eye (Original Mix)

Time is Irrelevant (Original Mix)

The Beginning Out on the 11th May 2025.
Artist/DJ/Producer:
The Witch Doctor/Spirit Project/Tribe of the Moon/Alternate Dimension - An Artist hailing from the South in the UK, primarily a Psytrance/Psychill/Ambient Trance and techno producer also DJ but with a love and passion for all music. She is currently studying her Music degree at Point Blank music school having achieved a full Scholarship, it will be interesting what the future holds. She has achieved amazing things the last 7 years, an Artist on Ovnimoon records, Blue Tunes, Visionary Shamanics records and many more. She has had residencies on some amazing Psytrance and Trance radio stations, Dragonfly Radio, Tribalismo radio, ETN.fm and numerous others.

Her love with Psytrance and underground Music began at school in the Early 90’s, a passion to dj and create these beautiful sounds ensued. By the age of 16 she bought her first set of Technics 1210’s and began teaching herself the art of Djing, production costs were very expensive back then so producing had to wait. She pursued a career in Science and played the odd party through college and University. It has only been the last 5 years really that she has focused on her Art and Music production, constantly pushing her boundaries and developing, Music is her life. Building her own synthesisers is a joy, this she finds brings a new era in her sound, very interesting times ahead.

This period post Covid is an interesting time, now she is entering the Festival Arena, bringing her music to the masses. She is a very shy individual but adores her music so much that pushing beyond her boundaries will hopefully result in some amazing times in the future. Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement, it means so much. To have had her first psychill Album '' Depths '' reach over 340,000 plays on Youtube in a year is a monumental achievement and touches her Soul in the most beautiful ways. Thank you everyone.
