The view of the moonrise from a beautiful living desert is a sight not so easily forgotten. In celebration of how fortunate we are to witness this beautiful dance of the Sun and Moon, I put together this funky and sacred soundscape to remember it by. It's moments like these that cast light deep into our souls, and build a foundation of joy and gratitude for a lifetime.

Moonrise - Oct 2022 - Progressive & Melodic Techno

Journey into deeper sound; Make good music so the planet and all life may awaken and listen in bliss.  

Community member of the Los Angeles based Moontribe Collective, founder of record label LA Sound, Van shares his love for sounds from deep veins of organic and electronic origins.  As a child he jammed on improvised instruments, leading to musicianship and jazz training, and a journey deeper into electronic music culture. Ringing the sound system as a temple, a place of reverence, he meditates on subtle grooves, beckoning bliss and introspection, inviting a dance on the moonlit ground, in the journey to nirvana, celebrating rebirth and unity, with love for sharing the sound we find within our soul ~ 🙏

As a kid, my love of music was inspired by family & friends with very different tastes but a common love for rhythm and dance that made a deep impression.  I began to find my own groove, and after picking up the guitar, I was hooked as a musician for life.

In the 90s, still a kid, I discovered techno and breaks at early Moontribe Collective events on full-moon nights deep in the Mojave.  It blew my mind.  This was the dawn of the So Cal desert rave, a revolutionary time and place, and I was hooked all over again...on something entirely new.

I'm so grateful for those early desert rave experiences.  They shaped my life in profound ways; much more than I could know at the time.  Through the rave community, I've found my closest friends, my life partner, and my passion.

May these mixes bring you some joy.  Thank you for listening :)  And whether to this music or any other you choose, I hope you dance!
