Seattle's iconic Uniting Souls Music delivers a new Spring compilation,  featuring nine new tracks by a solid roster of West Coast talent + a couple of NOLA veteran DJ/producers. 

While the label is internationally regarded as a "house music institution," compilations like Equinox Dreams allow it to expand and explore other genres. This release is closed out by a dreamy, dubby, bass-heavy track, Nocturnal, co-produced by a talented duo with Hawaii roots - Wolfess (aka Meghan Barrett) and Cryptochronica (aka Chris Michaels). The vibe is perfect for festival season!

Release Date: 28-March-2024

CRYPTOCHRONICA - BIO
Cryptochronica is the bass fusion project of producer Chris Shimanoff. Heavy, groove-oriented and psychedelic, Cryptochronica's music explores fusing the heavy bass genres of the EDM underground into new alloys. Boiled down to its most base elements, Cryptochronica is the digital drug, guaranteed to take you on a trip and keep you moving the whole time. Originally from Oahu, Hawaii, Shimanoff was influenced by the islands’ Reggae, Dub and Jawaiian (Jamaican-Hawaiian Fusion) scenes and Cryptochronica often shares glimmers of these tropical inspirations. The name itself is drawn from this Rasta-fusion tradition: both the words “Crip” and “Chronic” are Hawaiian pidgin (slang) for Cannabis. When blockchain and crypto currencies exploded into the public consciousness, it was only a short leap to conceiving Cryptochronica: the digital drug.

WOLFESS - BIO
Like the haunting song of the wolf’s primal howl, Wolfess enchants crowds on and off the dance floor with her magic. Wolfess has a broad musical background and palette that is reflected in the diversity of her performance styles. She curates customized musical experiences to enhance each event where she performs, weaving together global sounds to create a tapestry of music with organic rhythmic elements and an always-bassy backbone.
As a producer, she uses her experience as a classical musician to enrich her original tracks with acoustic elements such as harp, flute, and violin and often adds these instrumentals to her live sets; her background as a jazz musician lends itself to on-stage improvisation. However when it’s time to get down and party hard, she loves nothing more than to slap a crowd in the face with her bass-droppin’ booty-poppin’ tech and G-house headliner sets. 

A Hawaii-born local and daughter of two Hawaii Symphony musicians, Wolfess found her love of music and performing at a young age. Wolfess’ experience with performing grew into various kinds of expression in the arts beyond music-  from aerial performance to fire dance, and fuels her onstage presence as a guaranteed crowd-pleaser yet unpredictable and never repeatable DJ. She believes through music, everyone can heal something from inside via the movement and the magic of dance, connection, and the body. A DJ as irresistible as the bassy beats she drops, Wolfess is the gem of any night in the electronic scene of Honolulu and beyond.
