Notes

The Mixtape comes with a DIN A4 print:

The Siberian word «Shaman» refers to a man or woman of medicine who is called by the spirits to a path of service. One does not chose to be a Shaman; the «spirits» call you. You renounce your life, as you know it, to from now on live in service to the people. You walk the razor's edge of sanity bringing the darkness to light. Some of the spiritual work as a shaman is seen in the world but most of it is in the unseen. Living the work means trusting, letting go and allowing life to unfold in its own way - but in doing so always remembering the knowledge of truth, beauty, health, happiness and light.
(From: Janet Straightarrow: Be the Medicine / Olga Kharitidi: Entering the Circle: Ancient Secrets of Siberian Wisdom Discovered by a Russian Psychiatrist)

The term «Technoshamanism» refers to the DJ's role as «harmonic navigator» while erasing space and time as well as common subjectivity during a rave - just as a shaman in archaic tribal communities. Through a tapestry of mind-bending music gathered from around the globe the DJ takes the dancers on an overnight journey, a psychic voyage, and with one finger on the pulse of the adventure and the other on the turntables, gives the dancers a safe passage back down to earth.
The dj's capacity as a technoshaman is consistent with the anthropological definition of a shaman as keeper of ecstatic techniques which help his/her followers embark on a mental and emotional path that transcends their normal definition of reality. As in the shamanic traditions of many nonwestern societies the result of the ecstatic experience at raves is to create a framework for spiritual healing: a positive spiritual transformation, a clearer state of consciousness, new energy and perspectives on your life, inner growth. Inner peace is found, time stops.
