Transforming Sorrow by Kaya Project

2024 marks the 20 year (!) anniversary of the debut Kaya Project album ‘Walking Through’ & it’s been a while since the last one - So I’m pleased to finally present the latest Kaya Project offering ‘Transforming Sorrow’.

Featuring hand drawn artwork by the one & only Suzybee, this release includes 7 brand new Kaya Project tracks (plus 2 bonus versions) & a continuous mini-mix

I've also included a few bonus items - A video of the original live classical guitar improvisation that formed the basis of 'On Cliffe Bridge' as well as 2 bonus mixes - 1) a rocking excerpt / edit of the final hour from my BOOM 2023 DJ set and 2) a bonus uplifting 'Vocal Remixes' DJ mix including the remixes I worked on for Allen Ginsberg, Billie Maree, Arkanna, Ink Project, Evan Fraser & Vir McCoy (feat. Leah Song) Raio & Sophie Sofree and Raamayan Ananda.

Special Thanks to Andrew (Interchill Records), Jez (Ink Project), Nate Equanimous (High Vibe Records), Sariel & Sophie (Resueno), Billie Maree, Gill Arkanna, Jesse Goodman, Peter Hale, Allen Ginsberg Estate.

& to the music fans, true supporters & anyone who decides to purchase this Bandcamp release - THANKYOU!!

It wouldn’t be possible without you!
