Thanks for this. Still in recovery from Iboga. Took me to hell.

A Biomancy audio essay from AzraBertrand.com:
In the lead-up to the equinox our biology is actually being programmed for the entire winter (or summer in the southern hemisphere). This time is a special bio-alchemical gateway—what we do to attune to the cycles of nature, our bodies and the subtle energy fields as we near equinox will influence how we feel and embody for the next six months. Not just spiritually, but physically.

Elemental Awakening

Equinox – Body Magic & The Alchemies of Light

Sanjay Soul @ Botel Marina Prague 20.10.2023

A more straight and to me a bit "uptempo" mixtape (+- 102 bpm). 

In times of constant bombardenment with news and fake news and ideological beliefs a mood of moving serenity seems not bad. Not to close your "eyes" to the world but to step back and be here and now. To take your time and then engage again.  

Dear artists, thank you for the wonderful music. 
Without you, DJing wouldn't be possible.

Tracklist is coming.

Stay tuned for more conversations and explorations into the unknown and the unspoken of. To evolve in awareness we must shine the light into the shadow.

Exploring the Shadow Side of Plant Medicine & Shamanism

This is the part of our new albums recorded in the Temples of India in 2018. Dedication to Shri Yamuna is our short film about the most sacred river of India. 

Usually we perform as duet of sitar and bansuri along with singing. But this time in Shri Tota Gopinath Mandir we have performed on two bansuri flutes.

Shamanic Medicine TranceDance Journey #2 @ DJKali for AFRIKABURN 2019

Gene Key 15

A heart journey with the all inclusive Jah.  Deep in the technocratic matrix we find a path of no distance back to our true nature in the remote wilderness of our internal solitude.  A vibrational sound experience created to support humans on their journey of life on earth.

Ground-breaking percussive ambient recordings to induce altered states of consciousness through ecstatic dance. Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors were a world unto themselves.

Despite featuring an extraordinary cast of musicians (with credits including Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Miles Davis, Santana, Stevie Wonder, Milton Nascimento and much more) and selling hundreds of thousands of albums, the music of Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors remains largely unheard beyond their sphere. Conceived as live, improvised soundtracks to Roth’s transcendental dance workshops, musical acclaim was never on the agenda.

Instead, for a passionate dancer and spiritual polyglot like Gabrielle Roth, movement was a means through which to channel a wide spectrum of teaching, from experimental psychology to psychedelic counter-culture. It was from this heady mix that she devised a movement meditation known as 5Rhythms, which came to define her life’s work.

As “guide and catalyst”, Roth would dance to inspire the percussion-led instrumentals that would in turn fuel her 5Rhythms workshops, stimulating a secular form of ecstatic dance with roots in Native American shamanic traditions, Afro-Brazilian Candomblé and Yoruba drumming.

Using anything from a Sioux pony drum to East African kihembe and Japanese Kabuki drums, Gabrielle’s lawyer-turned-drummer husband Robert Ansell set the foundational rhythms for The Mirrors’ recordings, each of which would then feature a rotating cast of friends and professional musicians.

“The secret of everything we’ve done is that we never told anybody what to play,” Robert shares. “Instead of our albums being a musical vision of one person like me or Gabrielle, they were the musical vision of a whole bunch of people.”

At times the recordings have a Middle Eastern flair, at others, West African and spiritual jazz modes come to the fore. Hints of kosmische musik, proto-house and electronic ambience are laced like LSD through the organic rhythmic structures. This was kaleidoscopic ambient music to stir the body and free the mind.

In practice, the task of synthesising these different elements fell to Scott Ansell, Robert’s son and a recording engineer whose credits now include Nile Rogers, Duran Duran, Grace Jones. With meticulous attention to detail he captured and translated the dynamic energy of each drum onto record. Their sessions became legendary, and with access to the best studios in the NYC, The Mirrors sparkled.

Despite being initially overlooked by the burgeoning ‘80s New Age market, which preferred pipes and gongs to The Mirrors’ heavy-grooving drums, Robert Ansell set up Raven Recording to self-release the music, creating a vast sonic archive of sixteen albums over almost forty years.

The breadth of Raven’s catalogue is such that curator Pol Valls had to cut an initial selection of sixty-six tracks down to the eleven featured here. What crystallises is a stunning, mind-altering collection which spans, in Pol’s words, “a variety of genres, styles, and vibes within their catalogue, whether it is emotional, esoteric, spiritual, melancholic, hypnotic, dark, or at times a combination of these elements together.”

Music for immersive and intimate environments, Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors were born from the dance. In the hands of the right DJ, at the right time, in the right place, they might just return there.
