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 | DJ
Edubious | permalink
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.

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 \\.

A smokin' mix of epic booty bangers from the World of Whomp. These are the grooves that light my fuse these days. All killer, no filler. Bumpin all night. A therapeutic bath of bass for proper chakra therapy upgrades. etc etc etc

Thank you DJs for the blessings of your bass!

Through the Portal

Edubious | permalink
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!

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.

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.

Random Rab : Synchromystic
Last weekend I flew from Bellingham to San Francisco to take part in the many Halloween festivities in that fair & freaky city, as well as to reunite with approx. 1/3 of my playa family from Get Found. In addition to a boozy tour of the city on the Transported DJ-funbus, great meals and sock shopping on Haight Street, napping in the Panhandle and a stellar post-Halloween daytime renegade party at Toxic Beach hosted by Brass Tax, a highlight of the trip was certainly the Spiderball on Halloween night proper. It was held at the Bentley Reserve downtown -- an amazing space that used to be a federal treausry builing or something, all decked out in psychedliec Halloween vibes including a giant spider, zombie cheerleaders, Butoh performers, aerialists, bars, beds and couches, and much more -- and was obviously a gathering of mostly-local Burners, taking costumage to the next level, as we're known to do.
Music was provided by Beats Antique, Vibesquad and Random Rab -- three DJs I spent an inordinate amount of time listening to these days. Each performer brought a different vibe to the dancefloor and the party, with Beats being the most raucous and rowdy, Vibesquad bringing the heaviest, most focused bass and slamming beats, and Rab kinda chillin' the place back down with his 2-4 am set. It inspired me to post this here set of Rab spinning last spring in Seattle, around the time he released his excellent album aRose. Dig it!

Man 2009
EVOLUTION * Burning Man 2009 from moontroll on Vimeo.
Now that I've got all of the BM video shorts completed and posted, it is time to launch a video project with a broader scope -- I humbly offer up "EVOLUTION: Burning Man 2009" for your streaming and downloading pleasure. At just under a half-hour in length, this video seeks to celebrate Black Rock City in all of its ephemeral glory as well as commemorate the once-in-a-lifetime quickening of people that came together organically to form Camp Get Found at 3:30 & Lineage. This production utilized the photos and videos of many friends, as well as borrowed footage from Ben Wiggins, Mr. Nightshade and John Chavez. The soundtrack features Random Rab, Welder, ill.Gates, Ezekiel Honig, Nosaj Thing and Shpongle.

Moontroll has spun out
one last video shorts from photos and videos gathered on the playa
at Burning Man 2009 by himself and co-conspirator Edubious. This
last episde is a team favorite as it captures a very spontaneous
and random performance by a marching band who came by at the right
place at the right time and created a space for all of us to move
out of our temple burn hypnosis.

Sunrise
Abraxas the Dragamuffin at night, by Loupiote
Sunrise on the playa is a special, strange time, and for my past two Burns, the artcar Abraxas the Dragamuffin has been one of the best places to be during this transformation from night to day. This video short features Mikhal on the decks playing Bassnectar's remix of Spearhead's "Skin on the Drum" on Saturday morning. Kind of reminiscent of this session from 2007: http://vimeo.com/2693400.

BM09 video short #3 : Art Car
Mayhem
photo by Edubious
As I was walking around aimlessly waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the Raygun Gothic Spaceship to "launch" on Thursday night, I was in awe of the collected energy and sound and lights. Everybody and their monkey had gathered in a giant circle around the spaceship, so it was not unlike Burn night, typically the only night of the week when everyone in Black Rock City are together and focused on a common something. It always makes for an intense scene when all of that madness and mayhem is concentrated like that. Anyway, I took out my beat-up playa camera and started recording video, capturing 1/100th of what I saw in the melee as I wandered around. I think the idea came to me when I heard the Spearhead remix coming out of a giant art car and I wanted to record it for my Spearhead-loving friend Edub (who was somewhere else in the chaos that night.)

The Tangled Path 2 :
Convergence
23/August/09 | DJ
Playaduster |
permalink
Convergence: The process by which a similar character evolves independently in two species.
Convergent Evolution: The evolution of species from different taxonomic groups toward a similar form; the development of similar characteristics by taxonomically different organisms.
Burning Man: A great convergence of tribes from all corners of the planet; takes place the week before Labor Day weekend each year in the remote northwest corner of Nevada on a dry lakebed in the Black Rock Desert. The combination of common intention, sleep deprivation, freedom and dust storms creates the ideal medium for convergent evolution to take place at a rapid pace; from many into The ONE.
"The Tangled Path" dyad concludes with this latter installment, "Conjunction" (subtitles include "Funk Getting Ready to Roll" and "Fuzzy Biscuit Bass for Black Rocky City".) It follows on the heels of "Loose Ends," which found our fuzzy band of traveling Burners tumbling through time and space on various personal pathways throughout 2008, on and off playa. "Conjunction" moves the story towards its conclusion as, in anticipation of Burning Man 2009, the same love-filled freedom-seeking souls begin to pull back together into something cohesive -- a dream of togetherness that won't fully be realized until we all hit the playa at the end of August 2009.
Narratives include the birth and evolution of Camp dBM with Edubious, Moontroll and Grapenuts, as well as as missives from the heart of Black Rock City from Hekter in 2008. Ramona and Scotty G. join the mob with their own insights. Artists in this audio journey include Bluetech, Major Lazer, Z-Trip, Alter Echo, Erykah Badu, Kid Cudi, Beastie Boys, TV on the Radio, Nas, Herbaliser, Boxcutter, Roots Manuva, Flying Louts, Jaydiohead, Moby, Random Rab, Massive Attack, Beats Antique, Mimosa, Bassnectar, MAd Professor, Michael Jackson, The Roots, Funkadelic and Nosaj Thing.
This progressive blend of the brand-spankin' new alongside old classics represents everything I have to say about music in Black Rock City in one long-ass, delirious, whacked-out, turn-your-ears-inside-in mix. I threw everything I had left into this, my last musical melange missive before Burning Man 2009 : Evolution.
Hope to see many of you in BRC next week!
Over & out, DJ Playaduster
