Zephyr in the Sky

Surprise! Thought Crystal Blue was the only summer mix? No way man, that was a project from last year that finally came around. THIS is the real summer mix of 2013. And it comes at the perfect time when things are winding down, but we can still squeeze what's left of those glorious sunny days. Zephyr in the Sky is a free wheeling, day tripping, meadow frolicking, cloud gazing, sun shining psychedelic groove through the heart chakra. May this song reach your heart like a ray of light, and make you feel like you just got home!

With love,
petropolis

This mix is dedicated to my pioneer soul brother David Green, who inspired me to go forth.

Crystal Blue

Better late than never, the summer mix is here! I hope you've all had a chance to relax and enjoy some sun and shine. This mix is perfect for riding out on diamond waves of sparkling water, or lounging on the beach or poolside. Sail away on a blissful tide. Let the water cool your mind, the sun warm your body, and the music soothe your soul. Ain't it beautiful...Crystal Blue!

Glorificus Springdificus




Something a little different from Petropolis...

Love is all you need. And I needed a lot of it to bring this mix to completion! I set out to create a supreme expression of my vision of love, in all its forms, to reflect the astounding openness and gratitude I have been experiencing this year. How the hell do you do that in a spring mix? As I discovered to be most true this time around, "a painting is never finished. It simply stops in interesting places." This mix has gone through more incarnations than I can count, but I finally found the right balance to make my heart smile and convey the utmost glory of Spring. The trick is, as I am learning in life, to continually BREATHE, to take a pause, and return to my center and operate from a place of love, not fear. That's when things simply fall into place. So open your heart, and I hope you enjoy my silly, giddy, exuberant, triumphant and very personal love parade.

This work is dedicated to my Master Teachers, known and unknown.

And to Charlotte Rose Coyle, my wee angel. 

Without further ado, let the games begin!

Snowed In

Do you hear what I hear?  The hushed quiet of a blanket of snow? This mix was made over a decade ago and still holds up as my favorite winter hermit mix. Inspired by Björk's Vespertine and Aphex Twin's Drukqs, Snowed In is perfect for getting cozy with some hot chocolate, or hiking up a glacier enjoying a moment of solitude.  Stay warm!

Born to Be Alive!

It's been quite a while since I've posted a video, but I felt this occasion warranted documentation. Tradition! Enjoy :)

Ice Castle

Finally, we have arrived at the end of 2012 and can take a moment to reflect. The cold wind howls outside our fortress of solitude as we wrap ourselves in furs, waiting for the light to return. These are the songs of crystals deep within the earth, of Old Man Winter and the land of ice and snow, of legends and fantasy. Touch the clear quartz, enter Ice Castle, and prepare for the final freeze.
