Bass Meditations
31/March/12
With no more delay I offer 'Bass Meditations' for the dBM massive. This is the mix formerly known as 'Kung Fu Jedi II' However since I don't have any yoda or kung fu master vocal samples, I didn't feel it was deserving of that title. No vocal samples here, just a mix of sacred bass music.
This mix drops into the sacred bass realm and was designed as a soundtrack to your Practice. Find your flow with Kaminanda, Phuture Primative, Kayla Scintilla, Tipper, Nanda, Thriftworks and The Human Experience. This mix is a sampling of some of the freshest, most deeply studied bass chakra masters.

Subconscious Shapeshifter Swarm
01/February/12
A subsonic sacred bass exploration with DJ Playaduster channeling a night at Burning Man. Imagine traveling between several different soundscapes late one night in Black Rock City: your first stop features whomp-fusion, glitch-hop and luscious low-end bass jamz to start the party. But then you wander a couple doors down the Esplanade to discover a camp spinning psychedelic progressive house and you get lost there for what seems like an eternity of booty-shaking. Robot Heart rolls by and draws you deeper out in to the open playa for a serving of dark and dubby disco-trance music. Mmmmmmm, feels so good! Right about the moment you suspect that you are going to turn in to a puddle of goo from dancing to such elastic, nerfy beats, a random art car -- perhaps a golf cart made up as a glowfish, or a pulsating fuzzy UFO -- drives by blaring Hendrix and the rawness and realness of his guitar pulls you back to corporeal form. Out at the trash fence, you stumble upon Tipper spinning an early morning set full of neuron-splintering sounds and feel your DNA literally being reprogrammed…. almost sunrise!
All of these various styles and genre-mutations sound so good to your ears -- they move your body hypnotically, swarm your subsconscious with shapeshifters and create an epic night of dancing beneath the broad dome of stars with the beautiful freaks of BRC!
Featuring Kaminanda / David Starfire / Beats Antique / ill.gates / Glitch Mob / R/D / Bassnecter / Osunlande / Tanner Ross / Round Three / Kassem Mosse / Behrouz / Jimi Hendrix (?!?) / Tipper/ more...

Bass Cadet (It's a Family Affair)
28/April/11
As the Burnal Equinox
passes us by, we slip and slide our way down the slope towards
another trip to Black Rock City. Burning Man 2011 begins to
infiltrate my daily thoughts as I consider what Rites of Passage
will rise up to meet me and my merry band of Get Foundlings. Here's
a heavy-duty blend of bass music -- dubstep, whomp, glitch-hop,
lazer -- to wake us out of our winter slumber and slap us silly in
to the spring. This is not your mama's bass -- get ready to be
aurally spanked! This is the time of year for cleansing and new
growth, and this mix is designed to knock the moss off of your bass
chakras as we stumble towards the playa, alone and together.
Deep end contributions from Vibesquad, Opiuo, Bassnectar, Datsik, Nanda, Rusko, Thriftworks, Mochipet, Caligula, HULK, ill gates, An-ten-ae, Samples and MartyParty. Those getting the remix treatment include Sly and the Family Stone, Jamiroquai, Jefferson Airplane (?!), Nas & Damian Marley, Big Boi, Ellie Goulding and Kid Cudi.

Grace in Bass
29/December/10
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. You can learn more and start your own journey on this unique musical healing path at http://www.destinationburningman.com/stuff/podcasts and http://soundcloud.com/moontrolling. 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.
"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.

Subsonic Sonata
01/May/10
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 \\.

Thank you DJs for the blessings of your bass!

Whompadelic * Bass Chakra Therapy (Intermediate)
06/January/10
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.

Bass Chakra Therapy (Introductory)
15/November/09
This mix is an overview of the electronik sounds I am currently filling my head with, including several DJs I learned about for the first time at Burning Man 2009. Heavy San Francisco emphasis here, naturally, as that is where my favorite grooves are coming from these days. Special guests include Maketa, Scotty G. and Suga Cubed, recorded both in Black Rock City and on the road to home post-Burn, decompressing and reorienting from the Best Burn Ever. This is one of my favorite mixes I've ever spun out -- I really dig the flow between tracks and between sections and the sacred womp of the bass is cleansing to my soul. Hope you dig it too.
xo, DJ Playaduster
