In the boundless embrace of space, a fleet of astronauts journeyed with their spirited goats, until a fierce solar storm scattered them like stardust. One herd found refuge on a lush, vibrant wold, where their coats shimmered with the hues of a thousand sunsets. The other leapt onto a rugged asteroid, mastering its rocky embrace with nimble grace.

As seasons danced through the stars, their voices transformed - melodic bleats sang from vibrant pastures, while bold calls echoed like cosmic whispers through canyon depths. 

Celebrating the spirit of exploration, where even in solitude, beauty and evolution shines a periphery among the celestial wonders.

Octøbass - Chapter #05 - Peripatric Speciation

If you're familiar with my Apukuna sound, you know I love to guide listeners and dance floors on expansive journeys from stillness and gentle textures, into full-blown ecstatic releases. But for this contribution to the amazing Baikal Nomads mixtape series, you'll experience another love of mine: pure, unfiltered dance floor bliss. Many of these tracks have been patiently lounging around in my 'crates', awaiting their moment for some Apukuna treatment. Well lounge no more! It's time to dance! May you dance and groove well my friend. Offered to you as a meditation, a movement, and a prayer for an awakening heart.
