SOLOMOON

SOLOMOON - Psytrance/Downtempo (DJ)

Traveling great distances around the globe, I have sought communion with other trance nomads in hopes of understanding and raising awareness to what can be collectively achieved through this archaic tradition of ceremonial dance. As this musical language speaks to me, I attempt to translate to others by combining intelligent melodies and modern innovation with primal rhythms while staying true to the organic, tribal, ethnic sounds of the global village. I see and use this artistic medium of sound as a spiritual path for transcendence.
