Continuing with the autumnal feels as we approach the release of Essentials Fall 2025 is the instrumental track "Sometimes It's Hard to Say" between G Mills and Molly McPhaul. This energized collaboration has fitting artwork that takes us up in clouds, where daydreams and nostalgic reflections are all the more common. "Molly is the loop queen," says G Mills, "and sent me the initial guitar layers. I then played piano and bass and after some back and forth, Molly added the vocals, which I think really tied the whole thing together." The lively track is vibrant and energized, one fitting for both outdoors and indoors, socializing with friends or studying away. "The songs I’ve made with G Mills," says Molly, "have always felt less like compositions and more like discoveries. The music feels familiar, as if it had always existed somewhere in the cosmos, waiting to be translated through production and collaboration.” This track perfectly prepares us for a new season, for the arrival of Fall, as leaves change and leave the trees to meet the ground. As the nights grow longer and the heat fades away.

"Some truths live in silence," adds Molly, referring to the song title, "and when what we feel is too complex or raw to put into words, that’s when we create art."

“Sometimes It's Hard to Say” is the second and final single off of Essentials Fall 2025, with the full compilation out next week on September 4.

Recorded:  New Moon in Aries, April 7th, in heART-collective-space,  Berlin, Manic-Shamanic Style.

The world is is being renovated, the system is crumbling, our egos are suffering, no more security or pension-plans or homies in high-places are going to save your soul...that game is over, the new world is dawning and NOT yawning...she's got some slippery, soulful agendas on her hands:  to wake us up, burst open our hearts, make us feel the blood of the Amazon & polar caps & tree sap, our ancestors and enemies, our brothers & mothers, and love & live like we've never loved before...all illusions burning, all that remains is our raw spirit, and our solid souls to lean on...each other.

This mix is my attempt to express the (almost!) un-expressable yearnings of my soul, messy magic and all, yo...Praise those artists making music & art to awaken our hearts...Music Medicine is my elixir of life, and I bow to the following:  Mos Def, Yosi Horikawa, Rlhbslcn & So'ham, Peter Power, Bjork, Ccolo, Oceanvs Orientalis, Dandara & Aruntani, Satori, Krink, Noema, Multi Culti Record Label, 10 foot Ballerina, Red Axes, Pattern Drama, Bedouin, Feathered Sun, Eddie Vedder, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, SOHN, Ben Lee, Sufjan Stevens, the mighty Mos Def...I love you <3

Keep on burning, dancing, loving, living.

This compilation is growing a forest. One tree at a time.
Each Euro spent on this compilation will fund a tree that will be planted in Portugal by "Primal Gathering".

The second edition of IN SPIRIT Holistic Music Production Retreat took place at Aterra in Portugal in the summer of 2019. Aspiring artists, passionate musicians, and experienced music producers met with the mutual intention to learn about music production, co-create music and reconnect with their essence by surrounding themselves with beautiful nature and listening deep within through meditation, breathwork, and sacred rituals. You can experience the result of this deeply transformative, inspirational, and healing journey AND directly support your Mother Earth with this compilation. Since we have received countless blessings from the sacred lands of Portugal we are grateful for the opportunity to give something back. All the income from the compilation will be donated to fund an organization that is planting trees. For every single Euro that you spent, 1 tree in Portugal will be planted by our friends from Primal Gathering.

Primal Gathering is an environmentally, socially and psychologically regenerative gathering. They intend to restore forests and ecosystems all over the world, planting seeds to a more sustainable future.

"WE BELIEVE that when we merge tribes from all walks of life and aim to build, not destroy, we serve as an example to the world as a model of Conscious Living and Regeneration."
(Primal Gathering)

We could not agree more on this and hope that listening to this compilation will support YOU to reconnect with your essence and open your heart for more compassion and (self-)love

This demo track was created entirely with loops from "DOWNTEMPO SHAMANICO" my latest loop-pack and ableton live-template. It was created for producers, sound healers, yoga- and meditation teachers, breath work facilitators, ecstatic dance dj's, medicine musicians and sonic shamans who are looking for a deep organic, groovy, emotional, enchanting, melodic and shamanic sounds for their productions and performances.

Here is what you get:

The pack comes with over 400(!) Loops covering all elements needed for a deep,emotional,melodic,organic, shamanic downtempo track.

KICKS (soft and hard depending on the vibe you are looking for)

BASSLINES (Super low groovy Subs, and melodic Basslines for harmonic flow)

TRIBAL- WORLD- AND ORGANIC PERCUSSIONS (those loops provide your track with a unique organic signature sound and add african and south-and meso-american grooves to your tracks)

DRONES (for that earthy grounding and mystical atmosphere)

WARM SYNTH PADS & TEXTURES (evoke deep emotions and color enchant your tracks with Chord Progressions and melodic Textures)

SYNTH MELODIES (to give your tracks more dynamic and a leading voice)

NATIVE INSTRUMENTS (like flutes, ocarinas, kalimbas and more for the authentic Caribbean -and Jungle-Vibe)

MYSTICAL ATMOS (instrumental, natural and vocal atmosphere sounds add interest to your tracks and support your story)

NATURE RECORDINGS (high quality nature field recodings bring the healing frequencies of mother earth into your productions. Birds Singing, Water Flowing, Wind Blowing, Rain tapping, Thunder clashing, Fire crackling... The jungle and forest by day and night... For every mood there is the perfect soundscapes)

What do you need to use DS?

If you want to work with the ableton template you need the latest version of Ableton Live 10 (there will be a version for Live 9 and Live 11 in the coming days)

Non-ableton-users can import the samples into their fav DAW or DJ-SOFTWARE (the loop tempo is 80 BPM and the Key is Cminor)

DS Demo Track 1

Sound Carrier · Architect of Resonance 𓂀 Archivar

Xuqutopi doesn’t make music —
he opens fields.

At the threshold between downtempo, techno, and medicine sound,
his work isn’t a genre.
It’s memory—folded into tone.

Each piece is a resonance chamber:
not for entertainment, but remembrance.
Not to impress — to return.

Woven with frequencies from sacred sites,
tuned through stillness across India, Portugal, and Ecuador,
his sound isn’t performed.
It’s allowed.

Born in Austria, based near Graz,
but the field is nonlocal.
It activates wherever listening becomes presence.

Whether in ceremony, on the dancefloor,
or at the final stage of mastering —
he listens for one thing:
the tone that helps you remember who you are.

“I don’t create music.
I open sonic space—
where memory becomes tone.”
