Subconscious Shapeshifter Swarm

| Bass Chakra
Therapy
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!

DJ
It has been a decade since Will Holland aka Quantic released his first album on Tru Thoughts. Twelve albums later and Quantic has a vast discography; funky, soulful vibes with the Quantic Soul Orchestra, Flowering Inferno's reggae infused dub, cumbia with The Combo Barbaro, and more. The Best Of Quantic album highlights the stunning range of his work, bringing together some of the biggest tracks from across his many projects.
To celebrate the release and a decade of music from Quantic, the world famous J.Rocc (one of the finest DJs on the planet), created the Best Of Quantic Mix that perfectly incorporates electronic, jazz, dub, hip-hop, cumbia and the many more styles to come from Quantic over the span of ten years.

The Best of Quantic 1 * Jeremy Sole
24/September/11 Filed in: Guest
DJ
From XLR8R: While lots of folks have only recently been turned on to cumbia and other Latin rhythms, guys like Will Holland (a.k.a. Quantic) have spent years digging through dusty crates of Central and South American vinyl, constantly in search of fresh beats and breaks. Yet Holland is more than just an old-school enthusiast, as he's fronted countless projects with different artists, musicians, and aims...the Tru Thoughts label has asked KCRW's Jeremy Sole to take a closer look at Quantic's entire body of work. To that end, Sole has assembled Lo Mejor y Sabor de Quantic: A Retrospective of Will Holland, a free 44-minute mixtape that weaves through the Quantic catalog and combines what Sole sees as the man's best work.

Rites of Passage: Pathways to the Portal
24/August/11 Filed in: DJ
Edubious | Playa Mixes
What does the theme Rites of Passage mean to you? Is Burning Man just a big party in the desert? These questions spark the insights and musings of Get Found 3.0 campers as we envision it, manifest it, build it, paint it, pimp it out, feel it, struggle with it, open to it, let go of it and offer it as a gift to all.
The soundtrack for this lucid stream of consciousness is a mid-to-downtempo mix of music from Mimosa, Bassnectar, Eliot Lipp, Burial, Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Pretty Lights, Marty Party, Ooah, Emancipator, Jamie Woon, Russ Liquid Sound and Tycho.
We will pass through the Portal in 6 days! We invite our fellow Burners who will be on the playa this year to visit us at 8-8:30 & G-H (approximately…look for our blue and green parachutes, teacup signs on the street corner, or check in at Playa Info) for a cup of tea at the Get Found SyncroniciTEA House & Ju Ju Parlor! You know we'll be playing good music. See you at Home.

The Larry Harvey Dub Experience
25/July/11 Filed in: DJ
Playaduster
Here’s a new mix from DJ Playaduster, with special guest Larry Harvey, founding visionary of Burning Man. The audio is from a recent talk he gave in San Francisco at the Burning Man Regional Convectional Caucus that was recorded and broadcast by Shouting Fire. He is pontificating on the early roots of Burning Man, some of the principles Burners adhere to, and ways in which the Black Rock City culture is spreading out in to the default world in surprising ways.
The music is a mix of style from whomp to dubstep, glitch to jazz. Many of the tracks are taken from the Ninja Tune XX compilation. Hopefully this soundscape presents many of the tempos and feelings one would get wandering around Black Rock City at night.
Featuring Amon Tobin (King Cannibal remix) * Andreya Triani (Mala remix) * Bonobo (Floating Points remix) * Anti-Pop Consortium (Four Tet remix) * Thom Yorke + Four Tet + Burial * Wolf + Lamb * The Bug * Coldcut * "White Rabbit" dubstep remix * R/D * MiMosa * Pretty Lights * Vibesquad * Eskmo (Lorn remix) * Burial * Radiohead * Dorian Concept * Jazz Jagist (Grasscut remix)

Eskmo's MiniMix for Radio4 Graz
15/July/11 Filed in: Guest
DJ
A new, lovely, spacey, superchill mix from the uber-talented DJ Eskmo. He writes:
“The first European show of my EU tour this June was in Graz Austria (Pics below) for the Springfestival. I played alongside Dorian Concept, Martyn and Samiyam on Thursday and ended up staying an extra day on Friday. That extra night the good people over at FM4 asked me to come in and do a short interview and dj set. It seemed like most of the other djs coming into the studio were playing more danc-y type sets. So, given the gentle mist of rain outside, the proximity to rolling hills and a massive river, I figured I would go a more gentle route. (I admit this mix is more of something my alter ego “Welder” would put out, but the world is a weird place, you never know what can happen.) Here is the simple gentle set. Enjoy.”

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.

biNGH: New Meat
19/May/11 Filed in: Guest
DJ
Interplanetary trajectories make for systematically erratic positions and opportunities. Scattered like bits of fluff in a space dust storm, the wonders of this modality are infinite and varied. Letting go of the normal needs for position and velocity awareness leads to an almost intoxicating stupor of flavors, textures and intergalactic interactions. Such yang embodying trips, heady, rising, unsettled, bursting, glowing hot and bright, are inspired and short lived by their very nature.
In time, the fire burns low, the wind dies down, and the life returns to the earth. Internal transmissions take over the condintuitive channels of the extroversionary energies and it is time for internal reflection and grounded embodiment. Returning from far flung oRbiTal paths, tightening the circuits and letting the exploratory energy continue, with internal probes and present tense specialization, shifting from cosmic to embodied, from yang to yin, from far flung to grounded, from summer to the darker times... Out of the dying fires of extroversion, a new body is constantly discovered, New Meat is born.
This mix is a celebration and an exploration into the transition that comes over all of us, the process that is practiced, one direction or another, with sinusoidal regularity and chaotic randomness with every shift in life, with every dawning day and setting sun, with every change in the season. This is a celebration of the infinitely vast, endlessly varied, readily accessible temple that we are.
The work of the following artists is entwined with the verbage of Richard Freeman. Listen and enjoy. Taste some New Meat...click here for more...
