Destination Burning Man Podcasts

A Pretty Lights mix made from several sources: an exploration of the new PL album "A Color Map of the Sun"; a crowd-sourced Greatest Hits mix; a medley of rare remixes; a medley of PL-inspired jams by GRiZ and Marvel Years; and excerpts from a recent interview between Smith and theuntz.com. 

Dark, brooding, mystical, epic, cinematic and full of coiled power ready to strike at a moment's notice: this is the sound of the Jedis, gathering together in a dimly-lit teahouse at the crossroads of two trails in the forest. Taking pause, in the candlelight they share stories of their adventures, make connections, trade secrets, hone their craft. Some are just in from a mission from the coast, others heading off towards the desert for the Great Convergence. For a spell, they can rest, revive and relax while sipping steaming cups of tea served by the mysterious tea master…. The soundtrack for the Jedi Teahouse is a result of a tag-team effort by DJs Playaduster and Kaya Rainface. PD sets the proceedings off with a smoldering blending of dubstep+ambient+chill to set things up proper and Kaya Rainface steps in around minute 28 for a rugged Sacred Bass pilgrimage to the Temple of Wobble. The vibes get deeper and darker past the 1 hour mark; experts only, please. Tread carefully and mind the Jedis. By the conclusion of our tea session, the two DJs have melded their scents and sensibilities in to the One Groove. Bass Chakra Therapy at its finest. Vintage Jedi that even Master Yoda would approve of, humping it to the dance floor with his gnarled staff…. Track list // R.O. "Wood" / Shlomo "Out of Hand" / lokae "Siphon in the Sky" / Shipwrek "Bloom > Tangerines" / lokae "Slow Burn" / Russ Liquid "Formidable Signs > Furbish" / Mr. Squatch "The Squatch Expands Life" / Mumukshu "Wakefulness"/ Shwex "Forever Shining Soul" / Andreilien "Tafoni" / Whitebear "Auric Sight" / SIXIS "Cyclic Time" / Biolumigen "Akuna Marana" / Kalya Scintilla The Hathors" / The Polish Ambassador "Invisible Frontiers" / Sugarpill "You Got" / Mystral "Afterglow" / Shpongle "Tickling the Amygdala" Direct all inquiries and reservations for the Jedi Teahouse to destinationburningman@gmail.com.

Greetings friends far and wide, met and unmet, and welcome to a special edition dBMcast mix featuring DJs, producers, bands and composers who will be bringing their soulful, sexy, experimental, transformative sounds to the Symbiosis Gathering at Woodward Reservoir during the Harvest Moon Autumnal Equinox, Sept 19-23, 2013. For this dBMcast, DJs Playaduster and Kaya Rainface reach in to the deep grab bag of amazing music on the Symbiosis line-up and weave together a 90-minute mix of grooves, beats, sacred bass, whomp, ambient, dub, house, world beat, Bass Chakra Therapy and more forward-leaning elektrosounds to preview what you can expect at this epic gathering -- 

the music in this mix is designed to induce these states of re-grounding, decoding, processing, finding your renewed alignment for the coming months….. the groove continually falls apart and then comes back together, degrading and reconstituting, drifting in and out of your attention field, working its abstract magic on you in the background channels. destinationburningman.com

Here's a hot-off-the-griddle dBMcast that blends together many of today's finest, fattest, freshest forward-leanin' tracks from the purveyors of Bass Love. These cuts are the latest of the latest, wildharvested hither & thither here at the end of summer by DJ Playaduster. He's able to tour the listener through a wide range of cutting-edge low-end whomp in a short span of time, his sonic processing skills honed by extensive Bass Chakra Therapy practice at transformational festivals around the Pacific Northwest this summer. The Symbiosis Gathering, in particular, expanded his musical horizons and inspired him to dig deeper in his ongoing bass investigations, and several of the performers he caught on lakeside stages over that weekend have worked their way in to the fabric of this exploration.

This musical mix by Kaya Rainface is a soundtrack for our vision of Sacred Bass Sessions, like a mission statement, or a map to the subconscious nooks and crannies of your mind. It features music from the West Coast's finest DJs, producers and sound shamans, artists we either have already booked to play an upcoming SBS or are actively pursuing. The low-end mystical flow is deeply inspired by Rainface's time spent in the DreamDome at Photosynthesis 6 this past summer. Just before releasing this mix, we synthesized a spur-of-the-moment tribute to Cheb i Sabbah at the conclusion of the audio journey, in honor of his passing on November 7. As we listened to this mix that evening, we could clearly hear Sabbahji's influence in every track, his musical legacy informing the current crop of Sacred Bass DJs who carry forward his global-galactic grooves for the next leg of the journey.
