MANUMAT @ Tierra Bomba - Burning Man 2022

Opening set at Dia de los Muertos Halloween Party (Sat 29th Oct 2022) held at The Little Scarlett Door, Soho, London.

(Lineup: Alidad, Disco-Shaman, Michael Lane, Zaveri)

Dia de los Muertos 2🕳22

In an attempt to celebrate one of the most spectacular sunsets one can bear witness to -- the one over the Binnekring, in the Tankwa Karoo, that is -- I dug up 17 tracks and strung them together, shortly after the Ba(c)kstage truck had her maiden voyage across the dust. 

In the concoction of songs you'll find some funk, some house, some indie electronic, some remixes, a few warmer chords to pull at the heart strings and just a dash of Robbie Williams. 

Enjoy!

Sunset over the Tankwa | BA(C)KSTAGE at AfrikaBurn | 26 April 2023

This year, while navigating change and the dissolution of my once concrete understanding of reality, I’ve found myself naturally anchored to the sacred, ritualistic aspects of the morning. Journalling, movement, and meditation have undoubtedly kept me from blowing away amidst the storm. 

It is such a universally acknowledged truth that the morning is a time of virtue, expansion, consciousness, and clarity that we barely bother to question it. 

But what of the night? 

Last week, as I lay on the dusty Karoo, staring out into the infinite expanse of stars, I realised that she has just as much to teach us.

She beckons us to surrender our self-awareness in the depths of her embrace, to become one amongst a crowd, safe under the cloak of her darkness. She invites us to revel and relax in the unknown, to lose ourselves in chaos and confusion, to dance and become entranced. In her infinite space, we are able to abandon all conscious thought and premeditation. She shows us a different path to clarity — if only we would welcome her in.

For the night is also sacred.

Dear fellow humans. Please take a moment to read this. 

Down unders  is metamorphosing into underneath, same frequencies, going deeper. This downtempo set was meant to happen live in the Maxa Deer, alongside epic musicians and their instruments on the Friday sunset of Burning Man 2023, yet we had to surrender to a storm that humbled us all and gave us a true rebirth. So we decided to still create a set to elevate a powerful message and we are deeply honored to raise these spiraling frequencies of wisdom to the world through the Maxa Platform that is true family to us.  
Our inspiration for this DownUnders chapter is the collective metamorphosis we are navigating. We cannot deny It feels dark, so It’s more important than ever to keep our hearts open and connect to our craft, as a way to maintain our inner harmony in balance through the turbulence of a wild world. 

This musical journey also reflects the depths of intentionality beating in the heart of Maxa which are now birthing to light for the community. As much passion as we have for electronic music that makes us fly on a dancefloor, we are also widening the spectrum and welcoming other angles of musical craft which can delight our ears in a slow and loving way that speaks to our soul. 

It is so important for us to hear which parts of this journey resonate with you, so If you have something powerful to share in the comments please do so. Now, we do support free expression, yet are also sensitive to the fact that we are all overwhelmingly flooded by dual information in all platforms, so we kindly share… this is by NO means a space to take sides or express political opinions, we will NOT tolerate flags or any kind of propaganda in the comments, this is merely a universal expression of love and a calling for unity through music, so with all our hearts help us get spread the message in a peaceful and harmonious way.

The day will come where we get to share in flesh from the echoes of the Maxa Deer in Black Rock City.

For now, here is another 4 hour immersion into music and poetry to inspire you through the Spirals of Growth. 

Much love 

Zohar & Unders

Special thanks to: 

Jac Høja for her beautiful cello and Santi Bartolomé for his magical trumpet

To Vinny Olimpio for always helping us bring beautiful visuals to our vision 

To all the wisdom of the voices included in the mix

We're very happy to share with you a snippet of tunes from our 5-hour set on the beach at Maxa Camp!  It was just wonderful to spend the day on our favorite beach playing music to such a fantastic crowd.  We journeyed gradually from old funk, reggae, and Brazilian songs to the deeper dancey vibe you'll hear in this mix.  The day ended dramatically, with a surprise rainstorm, mini party in the DJ booth, and a giant rainbow to top it all off!  Huge thanks to the folks at Maxa for welcoming us <3

In the third installment of the exclusive Schirmchendrink guest show on British Airways’ Inflight Entertainment in collaboration with Deeper Sounds we’re extremely happy to welcome Landhouse to our team, one of the smoothest storyteller Karlsruhe (DE) has to offer.

Landhouse’s Schirmchendrink guarantees an incredibly mellow take off into the new week: it’s a blend of fresh Landhouse releases – that have just been made available on imprints such as Iboga Records, LOKD and on Tonal, Landhouses label together with Daniel Steinfels. 

Todays delicious sip also features one of the first productions of together with Sima, who happens to be his better half, and with whom he is about to release a stunning EP on Echoes from Venus… coming soon!

Landhouse is further resident at Seaside Trip and he is one half of the duo Landhouse & Raddantze, also known for their playful slowmo sounds.

Well, for those who know him, it shouldn’t come as a surprise: the mix he did for Schirmchendrink builds-up an incredible mood. And, despite a bpm range significantly below the usual dancefloor vibes, it has such an intensity, goosebumps are guaranteed! 

Thank you dear Landhouse, for this phenomenal mix. It’s a pleasure to feature you on the channel. And we look very much forward to what’s coming next !

Cheers!
The bartenders
