Aloha, this is Hayden Spector, recording from my live set @ the epic ManaDina Farms in Ka'u, HI.
The set begins at 7AM January 1, just after an emotional and charging heart-pouring by our dear sister Eve, and leads into a dreamy afternoon, filled with laughter, tears, hugs and coconuts.
This is my first set release on SoundCloud, so like and follow for more live recordings and studio mixes coming in soon.
Blessed Love

Clozee - Harmony (Elementalism Remix)

The Desert Trax aesthetic covers grooves across the BPM gamut. In pursuit of the slow house, electronica, and deep house sweet spot, From Sand to Stone calls upon Desert Trax veterans and up-and-comers alike to carefully craft rich, flowing remixes of classic tunes from the catalog in the heart-centric tempo range. The result is a gorgeous journey featuring Bellhop, Zen Baboon, and Doppel with a pair of Liquid Bloom & Poranguí reworkings along with a trifecta of tunes from newcomer Forever & Ever taking on classics from Random Rab, Mose, and label heads Desert Dwellers. On February 9, cross the spectrum From Sand to Stone.

Random Rab - Euclid (Forever & Ever Remix)

DUST INTO GOLD is the collaboration of the electro-accoustic producer/trumpet player SaQi and the Montreal-born multi-instrumentalist/vocalist SuRaj. With the record the duo explores a deep fusion of progressive electronic downtempo and dance music with a variety of Moddle-Eastern inspired realms of sound. Having performed for many years all over the globe with the Qawwali ensemble Fanna fi Allah, SuRaj brings some very unique flavors to the table via the oud, bazouki and vocals. 
SaQi states "We wanted to incorporate the sounds of the Middle East that SuRaj has been working with but put them in fresh context that would represent our own unique sound." Several guest vocalists are featured including Shazieh Shah, Sarasvati Dasi and Pepper Proud as well as the renowned Israeli oud player Atallah. The album also includes remizes by SAAND of Soul Selectas and Forever & Ever, a solo project by Treavor Moontribe of Desert Dwellers.

saQi & suRaj - Dust Into Gold (Forever & Ever Remix)

Drawing listeners into the sensuous atmospheres and windswept soundscapes of nomadic world-fusion, Breath is the fourth elemental entry in the electro-mystical odyssey that is Desert Dwellers’ iconic Downtemple Dub collection. A caravan of musical heritage that infuses the open energy of slow house grooves and tribal rhythms with the evocative beauty of global folk melodies, this sonic odyssey is an exotic exploration of hypnotic vocals, seductive instrumentation, and stirring psychedelic progressions. Bridging the ambient serenity of a deep meditation with the indulgent motion of ecstatic dance, Breath manifests as a soothing breeze in one moment and a whirling tempest in the next. 

Continuing in the spirit of cultural celebration pioneered by Desert Dwellers producers Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, Breath weaves visionary sounds from around the world into a musical tapestry highlighted by contributions from multilingual lyricist Meagan Chandler, Middle Eastern vocalist Ricadin, Madi Sato, and Darpan. Enriched by imaginative instrumentals from Drumspyder, HÄANA, Lynda Arnold, Paul Livingstone, and a range of other musical virtuosos, Breath is a dance across language and sound that calls attention to the universal power of music to dissolve the borders and boundaries of modern culture.
