Grace in Bass
29/December/10 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Bass Chakra Therapy
Cleaning out the vaults of 2010 to make space for new freshness in 2011, I came across this neglected mix that hadn't been posted yet. Deep in the wintertime of 2010, working through some personal struggles in my isolated zendo on an island in Washington State, I began exploring a new system of healing: Bass Chakra Therapy. Subwoofers or high-quality headphones are required; intoxicants optional but recommended.
"Grace in Bass" is the cosmic cousin of "Subsonic Sonata," a mix released last May. I mixed both from a common playlist that gathered together tracks that exemplified the healing qualities of bass in its many mysterious and mystical forms. Both mixes have a meditative quality to them and bass elements that are thick, sinuous, mostly gentle, inquisitive and with unique bass chakra massaging qualities.
Artists includes Timonkey * Heyoka * Vibesquad * Boxcutter * Mike Monday * Shackleton * Zero 7 * Luke Vibbert * Rusko * Clubroot * Four Tet * Ooah * Nosaj Thing * The Field. Artwork by Android Jones.
"Grace in Bass" and "Subsonic Sonata" both got me through some really dark, isolated days of winter. I hope they do some good work for you too.

Sunday Sunrise Set on Robot Heart
27/November/10 Filed in: Guest DJ | Playa Mixes
Wolf + Lamb spun a set at sunrise on Sunday after the Burn from the Robot Heart soundsystem. A goodly portion of Team Get Found was there in open playa when the sun emerged over the horizon after a long night of dancing, adventuring, kissing, biking and mingling with our fellow Burners. This extended groove was our sexy soundtrack to the new day. Glory be!

JOYISM : Got Found? (Part 1)
13/October/10 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Playa Mixes
"There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust..
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home.......
Cause, I built a home
for you
for me
Until it disappeared
from me
from you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust…….."

I am a Lazer : Bassnectar Maxxximum
08/June/10 Filed in: Guest DJ | Bassnectar
Here's a mad mixxx I made of favorite Bassnectar cuts, from brand new to older classics: "the perverse and the bestial vs the gorgeous and the angelic." It features tracks from most of his albums, plus some remixes by other DJs, all mixed up with clips from an interview with Lorin I found on the internets.
Enjoy the spiritual pulsations of thick, liquid bass, the deconstructed, freeky beats and ethereal soundscapes -- may it help you and your personal Bass Chakra Therapy work progress. Can't wait to hear the new Timewarp bizness on the playa, stomping with the tribe in the dust -- bring it, Lorin, BRING IT!

Classical Elements
24/May/10 Filed in: DJ Edubious
This Radio dBM broadcast serves up a healthy serving of string beats! New and not-so-new electro tracks infused with the classical elements of piano, violin and cello. This is a mostly laid back mid- to downtempo mix that crescendo's in the middle with a track from Pretty Lights. On rise and on the downstroke, you'll hear tracks from Beats Antique, Clubroot, Random Rab, DJ Rupture, Ana Sia, ill-esha, Bonobo, Rena Jones and Nitin Sahaney. This mix spans genres from glitch to dubstep, nu-jazz to drum & bass.
Through it all, two elements remain the same - strings and beats.
Enjoi.

Subsonic Sonata
01/May/10 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Bass Chakra Therapy
This one's dedicated to the devastating beat creator......
How does this latest mix from DJ Playaduster fit in with his recently-unleashed Bass Chakra Therapy / Wobble Chronicles series?
It is still unclear how this particularly tasty blend of bass-positive music fits in with alla that chakra therapy bidness and we are open to theorizing from dedicated listeners. But this much we know: there is still the continuity of serious down-low subwoofer-friendly basshead music mixed into a flowing river of soulful low-end revelry. One difference is that this poem is less dependent on Whomp and Glitch and other Left Coast bass-hop tomfoolery.
Instead, it moves across varying landscapes of moody, swirling, dense grooves and emotions. BASS is the only constant, the liturgy speaking to the recesses of your primal animal soul.
Subsonic Sonata features Luke Vibert / Shackleton / Fever Ray / Bluetech / Nosaj Thing / Boxcutter / Zomby / Rustie / Matt Shadetek / Mimosa / Noah D. Roomate / Roots Manuva / Coldcut / Hedfunk / Four Tet / Burial / Ana Sia / ill.Gates / Heyoka / Bassnectar / Tipper and / The Field \\.

Through the Portal
09/March/10 Filed in: DJ Edubious | Playa Mixes
Journey through the Portal and into BRC for Evolution 2010 with Moontroll, Grapnutz, Edubious and the Destination Burning Man crew. The saga opens as the tribe, fresh off the road from the Pacific Northwest and having passed through the gates of their favorite city to the strains of Guns n' Roses, find themselves destitute wanderers in Black Rock City.
After being driven away from their scheduled rendezvous with the temple building crew at Camp Get Lost -- the blaring 24/7 death metal and over-the-top negative vibes from the neighboring Voted Best Camp sent them in to refugee status -- Camp dBM find themselves searching for peace, as well as a spare generator to fuel their dream of a small sound camp to call home.
In this mix you'll hear Telepopmusik, Random Rab, Beats Antique, Baby Mammoth, John Kennedy, Lynx & Janover, G n' R (?!), The Pixes a la Bassnectar, Bluetech, Heyoka and more.
Come in. Step through the Portal with us. Sit by our fire, for we have some flax golden tales to spin!

Whompadelic * Bass Chakra Therapy (Intermediate)
06/January/10 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Bass Chakra Therapy
Another Bass Chakra Thearpy session from DJ Playaduster -- this time an intermediate level mix for those who have already absorbed the teachings found within the first introductory BCT session.
Vocals woven in to this session include soundstick recordings from the Halloween/Spiderball experience in San Francisco, the Get Found reunion at the Samish Island Zendo and the night Team Love danced all night in puddles to DJs on the top of the old Rainier Brewery in Seattle. This episode, in other words, tracks the post-playa adventures of our furry, fuzzy family up and down the Pacific Coast in the waning months of 2009.
Soundtrack by Lux, Nosaj Thing, An-ten-ae, Tipper, Lotus Drops, Vibesquad, ill.gates, Mihkal and Eskmo.
