Temple Twilight > Moonjuice Dub
02/June/13 Filed in: DJ Playaduster | Kaya Rainface
dBMcast #124: Temple Twilight > Moonjuice Dub
Mixed by Kaya Rainface + DJ Playaduster from 4th Corner Soundsystems, December 2012
Kaya Rainface starts this playa journey with a 30+ minute mediation on transitionary periods on the playa, not-this and not-that, like twilight out at the Temple. A mediation on Sacred Bass ensues as we slowly lift off from Planet Earth.
Rainface and Playaduster join forces around minute 34 and intertwine their bass DNA to co-create some deep bass chakra healing vibrations.
At minute 48, Playaduster steps in to usher in the nighttime wih a propulsive set of headtronic glitch and dust-raising whompstep.
At 1 hour and 10 minutes, they reconvene to bring the journey back home, and tuck it in safely to slumber…..

Mixed by DJ Playaduster at 4thKorner Soundsystems, January 2013
Another installment in the celebrated Whomp Massive series--inspired low-end collages for your personal Bass Chakra Therapy practice. This one starts slow and languid, taking its time before Nico Luminous starts getting rowdy with "Swamp Gate" and we achieve Whomp Massive lift-off at precisely minute 17:46. The rest is bass gravy……
Tracklist:
Gladkill "Distance > Don't Say No"
sAuce + SIMPLETON + Dub.Buddha "Sleepytime "
Nicoluminous "Swamp Gate"
GRiZ "Vision of Happiness"
ChrisB. "Tripping in the Key of Balls"
Gladkill "Beyond Me"
The Candyman "Molecular Modifications"
NiT GriT "Dimethyltryptamine"
Guttstar "Vapors"
Whitebear "Fever Dreams"
The Polish Ambassador "Future, Sex, Computers" medley (Sugarpill / Gladkill / Stephen Jacobs remixes)
Mus Sik "Eternal Smile"
Kaminanda "Time Travellers"
ChrisB. "Eye in the Sky > Triangular Objects"
Gramatik "Bluestep"
Michael Menert "Eventide" (edit)
ps. one of my most vivid, blissful memories of Burning Man 2012 was swinging freely on an oversized swing set behind the DJ stand at False Prophet's annual Tuesday Night party on the Esplanade. The sense of weightlessness, the backdrop of innumerable stars against the inky black eternity of sky, the empathic bass and blinky lights and love and dust….After the Polish Ambassador's playa debut, ChrisB took the party to the next level with his confident bass-slinging of daring low-end frequencies to a very supportive crowd of movers & groovers…..perfect!

Evolutionista's Nightlife Set 1
17/June/11 Filed in: Guest DJ
My friend Torsten, who originally convinced me to go to Burning Man in 2004, lives in San Francisco and always has the inside track on good DJ music. He recently turned me on to this 2-part live set from a Bay Area DJ named Evolutionista. Don’t know much about him but this brief bio, from his website:
“Evolutionista is the design and music moniker of independent Oakland artist Griffin Crafts. As Evolutionista, Crafts delves into downtempo blending ambient curiosities with beat-centric sensibilities. Fusing a command of technology with passionate devotion to art, Evolutionista hopes to invite and ensure healthy evolution for all beings.”
I love these spacey sounds and listen to this mix often when I’m looking for soothing, inspiring sounds. Enjoy.

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.

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 \\.
