I decided to call this mix “INTENSION”. In the intro clip I sampled the critical theorist Hakim Bey who talks about the importance of “Intensional Communities” as enclaves of freedom. Our creative community in Vancouver, on the west coast and beyond is an example of this and this mix brings that idea into focus….albeit through the guise of styles that I gravitate toward right now. These styles will seep into DEATHLESS material over time and you will be hearing such in my forthcoming releases. 
My appreciation and gratitude for the local community was rekindled and strengthened at BASSCOAST and Luminosity this year. So my heartfelt thanks go out to my immediate community, the community at large and all of the individuals and artists who shared themselves, there vision and there focused passion. THANK YOU. I agree with Hakim Bey as he puts it, that we are “THE THIN EDGE OF THE WEDGE OF RESISTANCE”. 

If your feeling this mix please repost and share on your networks.

Arahant is the manifold creative project of Anthony Traynor which includes Music, Sound, Fashion and Art inspired by the darkened recesses of electronic music, psychedelics, mysticism, meditation, revolutionary movements and the constant call of the self.

In his 20 years of music production, Anthony has been a key player in forming the US Glitch Hop and Dubstep scenes with his former projects BreakBeatBuddha and PropaTingz. His formative years began on a council estate in Wolverhampton, UK, an area known as the “Black Country” as it was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Answering his creative call he eventually found himself studying Fine Art at London's prestigious Central Saint Martins where he dove headlong into art-making informed by Eastern Mysticism, Critical Theory and Revolutionary Movements. 

Through his wanderings, he was called to San Francisco where he became active in the burning man scene circa 2002. Inspired by its hedonistic blend of music, fashion and spirituality he embarked on his musical projects and path of self-discovery through Theravadin Meditation, Psychedliecs and Yoga. 

His current music practice explores the liminal space between Urban and tribal rhythms, the phenomenology of Bass and psychedelic space in an effort to find a healing synthesis between the modern psyche and the transpersonal self.
