Here's the live recording of my DJ set at the Bravo stage at Lowlands Festival. It was such a great experience to play for such a big crowd, enjoyed every second of it! Still buzzing..

If it sounds like an ambitious palette of sounds to draw from, the almost freakish natural talent of its creators Christopher Mohn and Reagan Denius makes ’The Sun Also Rises’, a remarkably executed and fully cohesive musical experience.

Produced over an eight-month period between November 2012 and June 2013, the Californian-born pair normally used to producing purely with the dancefloor in mind, delighted in a boundary-less opportunity to express themselves in the studio.

Fully utilising the geared up ‘Skybox’ studio located in a neighbourhood in Venice Beach that housed everything from a control room, a live room, an extensive range of instruments too vast to list, plus an enviable collection of hardware including a UA1176 Rev D compressor once belonging to James Brown, Chris and Reagan set about having “extreme fun” creating ‘The Sun Also Rises’.

They also revelled in the collaborative process. In album tracks ‘Silent Words’ and ‘Undressed’ they invited talented Afro Cuban jazz trumpeter Gabe Steiner to come lay down some improvised horns. Nikko Gibler (Visionquest, Culprit, Bedrock), brought the full force of his musical talent on the cinematic ‘Where You Want To Be’ contributing an intoxicating brew of xylophone, harmonica, keys and dreamy vocals that swirl alongside Dance Spirit’s dusty drums making for a moreish album highlight.

Elsewhere the album points its compass more towards club territory, with Innervisions signed Jon Charnis making a studio visit to contribute to ‘Satellites’, while respected Canadian tech houser Jay Tripwire lends his vibes to the deep percussive roller ‘Lamentation’. The track features a cheeky nod to the good times that surrounded the album’s creation with a sample recording of a drunken guy belting out Whitney Houston at the top of his lungs recorded on iPhone during on an early morning walk home from a night at LA’s Exchange.

A more ‘official’ vocal contribution comes from singer Shawni who features on two album cuts, highlighted by ‘Silent Words’ with her gorgeous pipes combining with delicate horns and strings to create arguably the album’s most beautiful moment.

“Stylistically speaking the album is a conceptual listeners piece that aims to capture beauty and emotion in a contemporary and modern fashion. Heavily influenced by the rhythms of underground dance culture, and various genres of music, we wanted to take the listener on an emotional and thought provoking ride from beginning to end. It is intended for club culture, but we suggest that listening take place before or after a night out. It is the perfect compliment to tie up the loose ends of an exciting and anticipated dance night.” - Dance Spirit

Moody house vibes abound on Karasho's "Hide," a seven-minute deeper house tune with a galloping cadence and spacey atmospherics. The seemingly placeless producer also made the artwork for the release as part of a photography series titled 'Metaphysical Pictures of an Unknown Man.'

My Day Off

Live @ Desert Hearts - Dance Spirit - 044

Straight up, the boys from Dance Spirit are as OG Desert Hearts as it gets. Reagan and Chris were actually the sole headliners at our very first Desert Hearts gathering playing as their old alias Android Cartel. The pay was cheap, the our hospitality was nonexistent, and the weather was below freezing. But the vibes were THICK.  

It's insane how much of a difference 3 years can make as Dance Spirit is now constantly touring the globe and Desert Hearts is being compared to some of the best festivals in the world. I don't think any of us would have believed this is where we'd be 3 years from that freezing cold night in November 2012, but somehow we did it! Dance Spirit has always been a part of our Desert Hearts Family and we've had them crush live sets at every Anniversary Festival. It's so good to finally release their Live Set from the 2 Year Anniversary and it's even better that we get to host them at our Desert Hearts 3 Year Anniversary Festival this November. 

Reagan and Chris, welcome home!

As promised here is my warmup set before Damian Lazarus.
 
Enjoy the trip! :-)

Nesta With Damian Lazarus @ The Gärten (21/05/16)

If you missed it or want to relive it, we’re broadcasting The Peaking Goddess Collective’s live performance at Mundo de Oz Festival this April.

The Peaking Goddess Collective, a three-piece live digital & organic band known for its outstanding and longstanding performances, was born in Switzerland in 2003. Originally founded by guitarist Ajja S.F. Leu, bass-player Master Margherita and percussionist Dymons , it reached its current formation a year later when flutist Flooting Grooves joined in. The PGC is often linked with Peak Records.
Masterfully fusing acoustic instruments & electronic devices to form a unique style – the Collective is known for its unmistakable approach to trance, be it chilled ethnic beats, expansive morning trance or foot-stomping psytrance.

Each musician in the PGC actively participates in the live and studio sound designing and tweaking. During their much appreciated live performances, several laptops are synchronised and most of the tracks are spread out over more then one computer. Bass-lines, hi-hats, samples and synth-lines are dropped in live and the instruments are run through loopers and master fx boards, giving their shows a very spontaneous and organic feel, while ensuring that the sonic quality is top-notch. You could safely say that until they are playing live at a party or recording in the studio, their tracks only exist in potential…

Since its formation The Peaking Goddess Collective has performed extensively in parties, festivals and happenings around the world, including the Boom Festival, Soulclipse, Zoom, Doof, Life Festival, Alex Grey’s MicroCOSM gallery and the Berlin Tattoo Convention. The Collective’s live feasts have pleased crowds in Switzerland, Portugal, Germany, Holland, England, Ireland, Scotland, Turkey, Israel and the USA. In the second half of 2007, the PGC will perform in festivals around Europe, including the Wickerman Festival and the Psychedelic Ceilidh.

The PGC has contributed with several chill intro and outros on Peak night-time compilations, as well as full-fledged compositions on each of Peak Records’ chill compilations. Many of its live performances have been recorded and self-released. “Organika ”, the Collective’s debut studio album was released on Peak Records on August 17, 2007.

Although its members have all established themselves successfully as separate musical entities, they continue to perform together in trance parties and music festivals worldwide – because they enjoy the organised chaos of playing together, and all are in agreement that their Collective works are often richer and more diverse then their solo projects. The sum is greater than its parts…

He’s released sublime records on Dozzy and Neel’s label @spaziodisponibile, @thebunkerny and his own fantastic Eerie imprint, who have just released a remix package of his classic ‘Vox Attitude’ featuring @atom_tm and @pessimist.
