When global bass craftsman David Starfire and Soul Land Records, borne from the Love Serve Remember Foundation’s heart, interlace, one expects nothing less than transformational soundscapes. “Alchemy of the Heart” is precisely that – a stunning EP converging techno’s effervescent boundaries with the spiritual teachings of Ram Dass.
The title track, both in its extended and edited avatar, melds with three other Ram Dass-guided meditations. These tracks are not mere songs but gateways: portals to the tranquil realms and the sanctified territories of the heart. Embedded with Theta binaural beats and ethereal instrumentation, it’s a trip – in every sense.
The visual to “Back into Balance” becomes another layer to this auditory journey. DJ Relajado’s (Dean) kaleidoscopic fusion of Ram Dass images is more than a video; it’s a transportive experience. And given the anticipation for two more video iterations from the EP, the journey seems far from over.
David Starfire’s live revelation of the title track at the Psychedelic Science conference reaffirms the EP’s intent: to oscillate between the techno-electronic universe and meditative mindfulness.
Rooted deeply in Ram Dass’ teachings yet forward-looking in its sonic deliverance, “Alchemy of the Heart” is a genre-defying masterpiece that’s set to be an emblem for both techno-heads and spiritual seekers.
