Medicina by Ariet
Our first release comes from project founder Ariet (real name Michał Gutkowski). The idea behind it was to create a soundtrack to a psychedelic trip in the context of underground club music.
In the first track Medicina, the leading sound comes from sampled Icaro, a song that is sung during ayahuasca ceremonies by shamans. Chakapa which is used as a cleansing and healing ceremonial instrument is used as rattles, and together with a strong beat set the pace for the things to come.
The second track is the Medicina Live Mix coming from Klara, a well-known persona in the psychedelic and hypnotic techno scene. An infused baseline takes over the stage, turning Medicina into a darker and mysterious side.
Things get deeper and faster with Inner Journey where repetitive sequences combined with atonal pads, create tension that can be similar to a psychedelic substance taking over one's mind and body in an ambiguous way.
Tribal Tool keeps the tempo with strong rhythms and jungle-like effects that invite the listener to a wild tribal dance.
The fifth track Shaman’s Heart features Cecylia, a sound healing practitioner whose flute tuned to 432Hz is laid on top of an etheric beat recalling a pleasant, heartwarming side of the psychedelic experience.
The last track comes from an artist on the rise in the global hypnotic techno scene Polygonia. Here in the Shaman’s Heart remix, we can hear her softer side turning the original composition into an Integration song, another vital element of all psychedelic processes. Her remix sounds like a perfect ending track for an outdoor festival evoking a feeling of oneness, love, and compassion towards all beings.
The release will be sold on a donation base model. All the profit will support party-working initiatives that aim to educate about consciousness-altering substances as well as reduce damages caused by abusing them.
Disclaimer:
Due to Bandcamp restrictions, the album right now costs 3 PLN, but at the premiere will be available on 'pay what you want' model.

Our goal is to release music and create events that will foster individual and collective transformation.
We believe music and dance can evoke a meditative state which allows us to journey within ourselves. In this state, surrounded by a like-minded community, we can release tensions, learn about ourselves, as well as experience some healing.
