Yoga Groove

"Whether you teach active yoga or just enjoy practicing yoga in your home, this is perfect to keep you moving." -ACCENT WEEKLY <P>"This is not your mother’s yoga music Composed/performed/produced by DJ Free, his keyboards, Native flute and distinctive chanting flow along grooves laid down by master percussionist Brent Lewis…the overall feel is richly layered, a kind of primal naturalness mixed with an edgy urbanity. If one’s style of yoga, dance, or movement is highly energetic, this could be the perfect motivator." -NAPRA REVIEW <P>"On Ice...DJ Free and Peter Schimke made sure all their musical chromosomes were properly aligned before hauling in a posse of luminaries, local and otherwise, to put the glisten on their first non-soundtrack collaboration. even as a simple augmented duo, the programming whiz and keyboardist-around-town slide accross genre boundaries with Olympic-caliber grace, mixing potentially unwieldy elements - shuffly house-music tectonics, serious jazz piano, and high-disco string pyrotechnics - as though they were water." -CITY PAGES <P>Award winning artist Soulfood (Best IMAX Score) and master percussionist Brent Lewis join forces to create the follow-up to the best selling Yoga Rhythm. Rhythmic percussion by master percussionist Brent Lewis, who has studied with drum masters from around the world; has performed with a long list of artists (Smokey Robinson, Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker); can be heard on Oliver Stone’s JFK and three IMAX scores; and composed for the Australian Ballet.

Rhythmic percussion, keyboards, bass, flutes, woodwinds, chants and exotic instrumentation create the prefect backdrop to a yoga class or that after-yoga get-together. Yoga/movement practitioners consulted in the creation of the music!
