Down Temple Dub: Flames

Down Temple Dub: Flames

Desert Dwellers continue their yoga dub odyssey into the soul of the global heartbeat. Rara and Amani's trademark deep bass, earthy percussion, etheric voices and culture-crossing instrumentation meet Treavor Moontribe's insistent rhythms in this invigorating psy-chill soundscape. <P>When Craig Kohland (Shaman's Dream Ensemble) asked Rara Avis to compose music for a Duncan Wong yoga DVD series, Rara immediately invited longtime friend Amani to work with him. Their debut release, DownTemple Dub: Waves, was a pure reflection of this collaboration, while DownTemple Dub: Flames remixes earlier material written by Amani and Treavor Moontribe (aka DJ Treavor), the co-founders of Desert Dwellers. Both projects are the result of the Desert Dwellers collective's ceaseless exploration into the uncharted realms of yoga dub. <P>Like sonic incense, this spellbinding hybrid of studio and field recordings burns with a boldly modern sound reverberating with echoes of our tribal past--and future.
