It’s been a busy few years since the last news post on here! Having so much time at home, I have been cranking out the new releases on desert trax and also various remixes for Porangui, Kaya Project, and Nessi Gomes. Here’s a recap of all the amazing projects since the last post:<\/p>\n
The entire Desert Trax family has come together around the ambitious new remix project for Porangu\u00ed. Multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, and world-bridger Porangu\u00ed, whose personal background is as varied as his musical library has amassed a stunning collection of songs over the years, and Desert Dwellers\u2019 extended family is helping bring his originals to more people through a double album of remixes as powerful as its source material. Desert Dwellers themselves open up the new collection, Porangu\u00ed Remixes Vol I , and give way to new downtempo house producer, Spice Trader. As part of his travels and musical adventures, Porangu\u00ed has been a part of the Liquid Bloom live band, and now the project brings to life a reimagining of \u201cOxum.\u201d Other Desert Trax favorites getting in on the action include TRIBONE, Stratusphere, Drumspyder, and Shamans Dream & Geometrae. An unlikely combo is even forged between Mandala Affect and dela Moon, resulting in a gorgeous, almost liquid drum & bass but silkier take on \u201cStardust.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stepping into the roots of African dance culture, \u201cAy\u00e9 Yewo\u201d is a sonic tale of union told through the lens of electro-instrumental fusion project Liquid Bloom. A marriage of heartfelt vocals and instrumentation by musical healer Porangu\u00ed with the spirited rhythms of tribal dance music, this luminous sound journey from multi-genre producer Amani Friend draws upon a legacy of acoustic and electronic sounds wrapped in the warmth and vitality of exotic deep house. Accented by production and instrumental contributions by Spice Trader, and paired with an ethereal remix by neo-western producer Tone Ranger, \u201cAy\u00e9 Yewo\u201d comes together as a celebration of happiness and the timeless binding power of movement and song.<\/p>\n
Drawing from the tranquil springs of tribal organica, electro-instrumental collaborators Liquid Bloom and Porangu\u00ed join forces once again in a sonic return to the source with the ecstatic dance floor voyage, \u201cRegreso al Agua.\u201d Sweeping listeners into a holographic world of deep bass undercurrents and shapeshifting melodies, the song is presented in three glimmering forms that flow through the realms of spirited deep house, exotic tribal bass, and atmospheric downtempo. With remixes by visionary bass artists Geometrae and Numatik, Liquid Bloom\u2019s transformative style of genre-fusion takes shape as a rippling stream of electronic and acoustic sounds backed by waves of soothing vocals and instrumentation by Porangu\u00ed, beckoning us to step from the shores of consciousness back to the quiet waters from which all life has come.<\/p>\n
An entrancing journey to the faraway lands of world fusion,\u2018Anima Mundi\u2019 connects the mystical and material into a multi-genre narrative rooted in the mercurial sounds of global music. Blending exotic instrumental melodies and soothing atmospherics with the richly diverse colors of slow house, deep tech, and seductive tribal fusion, Liquid Bloom and Spice Traders\u2019 hypnotic collection invites listeners to explore the unifying themes of music as they dance across time, lineage, and culture. Presented as one original track featuring instrumental work from Taylor McDonald on hang drum, Arsen Petrosyan on duduk, and Alvin Young on fretless bass, and bolstered by four remixes from Kaya Project, Drumspyder, Moonfrog & Mxxwatchers, and Twin Shape, the \u2018Anima Mundi\u2019 collection showcases the binding power of music as a vital force bridging realms both near and beyond.<\/p>\n
Drift into holographic realms of deep thought and relaxed sensation with Liquid Bloom\u2019s \u2018ReGen: Deep Ambient Remixes.\u2019 Conjured from the mind of musical visionary Amani Friend, this deeply meditative collection transmutes the uplifting tones of his \u2018Re.Generations\u2019 album into a soothing journey through delicate acoustic sceneries and textural sonic layers toward the inner frontiers of the mind. Harnessing the imaginative soundscapes of producers Temple Step Project, Hipnotic Earth, Tylepathy, Eternell, and Shanti & Wei-Chi, Liquid Bloom invites listeners into these calming atmospheric spaces to find a personal sanctuary forever free from the turbulence of life in a changing world. Additional instruments & vocals from Deya Dova, Porangui, Alex King-Harris, Ixchel, Michael Kott, + more<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Standing upon the shorelines of the inner world, where deep awareness gently laps against the soft sands of the mind, you are invited to step into the tranquilizing waters of Liquid Bloom\u2019s \u2018ReGen Ambient Meditations.\u2019 A guided journey through the ebbing and flowing expanse of personal consciousness, these spoken meditations from Amani Friend\u2019s global vanguard of sonic mystics and vocalists explore the ephemeral boundaries between mindfulness and the oceanic currents of the meditative state. Transported through ten serene landscapes by the voices of Darpan, Deya Dova, Porangui, Ashley Klein, Darma Friend, Isabel Friend, Ixchel Prisma, Rara Avis, Azriel Ferro, Avatara, and Allisunshine, listeners become participants as soothing words and holographic sounds converge to coax the petals of consciousness open, exposing us to the infinite space within.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The global flavors of Liquid Bloom, Spice Traders, and Porangu\u00ed converge into a soul-stirring fusion of tribal house and organica with \u201cCoraz\u00f3n de Gaia.\u201d Inspired by the dance floors of the world and laced with a tantalizing selection of hand instruments and vocals set atop a rousing slow-house beat, this extravagant brew of acoustic and electronic elements offers a sensory journey through trance, mystery, and the heart of movement culture.<\/p>\n
Taking \u201cCoraz\u00f3n de Gaia\u201d into a heavier and more progressive realm, Forever & Ever brings a fast, psychedelic edge to the ecstatic atmospheres of the original song with his punchy, deep tech remix, while on the bass side, Israeli producer Basher Toe blends exhilarating broken beats within a hypnotic tribal bass framework for a reimagining that will satisfy the most devout of sound system worshipers.<\/p>\n
With three iterations intended for three different environments, \u201cCoraz\u00f3n de Gaia\u201d will conjure energy and focus in a full spectrum of audiophiles while adding another enthralling chapter to the ongoing tale of collaboration within Liquid Bloom\u2019s pantheon of global music visionaries<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Proudly presenting to you this brand new collection of Kaya Project Remixes Featuring Globular, Suduaya, Luke Mandala, Liquid Bloom & Spice Trader, Quanta, Nasha Experience, Innerise & Drifts in Autumn There is also a Continuous Mix-Set composed of all the tracks & a previously unreleased version of The Fearless Path (The \u2018Intensity of Life\u2019 edit)<\/p>\n
Beyond the desert mesas and dust-stained prairies of the open range, hidden away from the dark clouds and echoing roars of expansion, the ancient cliffs of the interior resound with the beguiling melodies of\u00a0\u2018Peyote Canyon.\u2019\u00a0Casting the mystery and romance of the western borderlands through a visionary lens,\u00a0Liquid Bloom and\u00a0Porangu\u00ed\u2019s flowing deep house tale marries panoramic acoustics with steadfast electronic beats to paint a mesmeric and uplifting portrait of the electro-mystical frontier. Embellished with deep tech, psychedelic, downtempo, and ambient remixes from\u00a0Uone,\u00a0Wolf Tech,\u00a0Ekorce,\u00a0Ancestral Elephants, and\u00a0Tylepathy,\u00a0\u2018Peyote Canyon\u2019\u00a0offers listeners a vast and fully-realized journey into the sublime wilderness both outside and within.<\/p>\n
A realm of wild darkness and tranquilizing light,\u00a0Liquid Bloom\u00a0and\u00a0TRIBONE\u2019s\u00a0\u2018Interbeing\u2019\u00a0explores the inextricably-bound forces of the musical universe through six mystifying tracks drawn from the lands of worldly downtempo, tribal bass, and driving psychedelic electronica.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the fast-paced soundscapes of the global dance floor, the original \u2018Interbeing\u2019\u00a0mix unleashes a barrage of mid-tempo beats overlaid with primal energy and supported by a haunting psychedelic undercurrent that resounds through each track in the EP collection. Without slowing down, Liquid Bloom and TRIBONE bring additional space to\u00a0Interbeing\u2019s dark atmospheres with their hypnotic and tactile \u201cTribal Tech Mix,\u201d while producer-duo\u00a0Jakare\u00a0provides a tantalizing tribal house remix flavored with additions of charango and pan flute.<\/p>\n
Maintaining the psychedelic edge of the original composition, British psybass producer\u00a0Sigil\u00a0draws listeners into a twisted breakbeat journey that plunges deeper into the original\u2019s shadowy tones. Taking a more luminous path,\u00a0Kaya Project\u00a0guides his rendition toward uplifting territory with his signature world-fusion style, introducing stirring organic beats, seraphic vocal samples, and a soothing blend of synths and instrumentation to draw out\u00a0Interbeing\u2019s brighter elements.<\/p>\n
Tying up the collection with what has become a regular feature in Liquid Bloom releases,\u00a0Tylepathy\u00a0offers up a deeply atmospheric ambient mix that binds\u00a0Interbeing\u2019s dualistic sonic themes for a poignant conclusion as the collection recedes back into the silence.<\/p>\n
Though spending most of her life in the Channel Islands, the turning point in Nessi\u2019s<\/strong> musical expression took place six years ago when she lived in Central America. She shifted from the more obvious themes of love, loss and broken hearts to ruthlessly exploring her inner geography and the delicate fears, insecurities, beauty and light that she found there. All Related<\/strong> is a song which represents this transformation. The song has been transformed in partnership with the shamanic beats of Liquid Bloom<\/strong> into a dance masterpiece of rhythmic groove<\/p>\n \u2018Seed\u2019 is the brand new single from Kaya Project, featuring Six fresh remixes by Somatoast, Mindex, Tribone & Liquid Bloom, Pan Electric, Chaos By Design & Digitalis.<\/p>\n The Original is a playful, quirky & upllfting track featuring the Clarinet of Benjamin Samuels (Grouch in Dub), Violin by Kartik Raghunathan & Percussion by David Maurette (Perkelt). Two of the mixes also feature a very special vocal sample (from the Kan Beng track \u2018Baninde\u2019) as sung by Nadia Al Faghih Hasan. Backing Vocals, Flute & Guitar by Pooja Tiwari, Hayat Mohammed & Seb Taylor.<\/p>\n A reflective journey through more than a decade of sound born from the spirit of Liquid Bloom, Porangui, and friends, ambient\u00a0music producer\u00a0Tylepathy\u00a0opens the sonic portal to cosmic wanderers and inner explorers with his ethereal and soothing\u00a0\u2018One With Nature\u2019\u00a0remix album. Suspended in the boundless space beyond beats, this eight-track collection showcases a holographic dimension contained within all Liquid Bloom productions and invites listeners to bathe in the relaxing medium of pure ambient sound. As we are whisked from one elemental landscape to another, we are reminded of the power of the mind to shape supportive spaces with even the most subtle of inspirations, making\u00a0\u2018One With Nature\u2019\u00a0not only a potent tool for meditation and personal healing, but a testament to the vast and creative forces of human consciousness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been a busy few years since the last news post on here!
