Dan Bay b2b Barrio Lindo - Festival au bord de l'eau 2021

The end of 2024 draws to a close and I offer up the seventh version of my yearly mixtape.  It is a pleasure to do these mixes each year and I never really know where they will end up but centred around pieces of music that I picked up over the year, that caught my ear (tracklist below).

This time it leans towards a lot of my own edits made especially for the mix, a few yet-to-released remixes and beautiful music from all over the world. I think there is definitely a focus more on precious, moving music and less towards the dancefloor. Hard to explain why, I tend not to overthink these mixtapes. 

To give you a bit of a look behind the curtain I painstakingly craft each of these mixtapes using Ableton, treating it more like an extended production than just two tracks mixed together. I end up with a sprawling mix of tracks, acapellas, synths, samples and founds sounds. A kind of patchwork of sound. Though only 21 pieces of music this session somehow grew to 162 different racks, from cumbia rhythms to kicks to take a track into a new place.

Aquí Te Cuido (Chancha Via Circuito Edit)

Shika Shika is delighted to welcome once again Joaquín Cornejo, after his EP Barro (2009).

“Cabuya” is the new EP that Joaquín brings us from Ecuador, a sonic journey that explores sensitive and enveloping landscapes. Inspired by spiritual jazz and the nuances of ambient jazz, Cornejo weaves a musical universe where each track is a thread that connects deep emotions and atmospheric textures. Through organic rhythms and ethereal harmonies, the artist invites us to immerse ourselves in an introspective and captivating journey.

Joaquín Cornejo - Wei (feat. Hermanito, Pete Beardsworth & Felipe Cornejo)

So many of these gentle songs have been the soundtrack to my life: songs I have played on piano for years and years; songs for cerebral drifting; songs for stillness and reflection; songs for when it's all just too much; songs for flower loving dreamers; songs of previous chapters; songs of my parents; songs of my youth; songs of NOW... and then. 
🎼 
🎼 Now I can PRESS PLAY and listen to this dream for 4:43:43 (great number in the end!)
🌸 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
and yes, there is a theme:
flowers, dreamers and gardens running throughout

This morning, this poem came to me conjuring the title: 

GARDEN IN THE SKY

To have faith there is a garden in the sky
that you exist there pottering away
Tending to its transient beauty
Never ending; always changing
Filaments of time pass me by
To have faith there is place
for all the dreamers 
and that their dreams will take shape
like the fantasia of cloud bouquets and 
fantastical fluff beasts calling my name 
A flower is born; way up high,
A flower unfurls; a filament of time
within the boundless fantasia
of a garden in the sky 
- High Hat (Ellen Patterson)


"Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts." - Sigmund Freud

Garden In The Sky

✧ "Sound Offering for the Wedding of Light" – by Xuqutopi
This set was not performed — it was given.
Every tone, every rhythm, every silence
was a prayer woven in vibration —
a transmission of joy, union, remembrance.

All tracks were either created, mixed, or mastered through my hands —
but their true authorship belongs to the field we share.

This is not a collection of songs —
it is an encoded current of love,
a ceremonial passage offered into the collective heart
of everyone who hears it.

It was played live in sacred celebration —
not just of two souls uniting,
but of the union of all opposites,
the sacred return to oneness through frequency.

✧ May this set…
— awaken the remembrance of beauty
— restore coherence to the subtle body
— soften the places that still hold fear
— and light a pathway home, through sound

From my heart to yours —
thank you for listening, receiving, and remembering.
May you feel the joy, tenderness, and clarity
that was encoded with every note.

This is a gift —
for you,
for all beings,
for the Earth.

In devotion and harmonic service,
Xuqutopi

Northern Aurora

Royal Vagrant - Sky sons of the Eternal Plain part 6 of the “Well Travelled” saga

We ride with the wind, eyes to the horizon, guided by spirits older than empires. Blood of the Steppe is a raw and reverent journey through the sacred pulse of the Scythians and their nomadic kin — warriors of the open plain, shamans of the eternal sky.

Featuring overtone throat chants, war drums, and nomadic folk fused with cinematic bass and tribal energy, this chapter honours the wild heart of Eurasia.

Dedicated to those whose blood sings in rhythm with the hoofbeat — and to all rebels born beneath the sky.

🔥 Inspired in part by the battle cries of Tuvan warriors, the rituals of Tengri shamans, and the sacred silence between storms.

🐎 May your spirit ride free.
