Desert Dwellers - DownTemple Dub: Waves, released March 21, 2006 by White Swan Records
On their classic psy-dub and yoga album DownTemple Dub: Waves, Desert Dwellers meld elements of downtempo and chill-out with sinewy basslines, otherworldly guitar and an exotic mix of organic vocals instruments into an Indo-ambient mystical fusion. Pulsing with lush rhythms and serene harmonies, DownTemple Dub: Waves is a sonic odyssey into the soul of the global heartbeat. This 2006 release on White Swan features vocals from Sarah West, Ehru and Violin from Martin St. Pierre, Bansuri Flute from Dominic Dean Breaux, Cello from Michael Kott, and was produced by Amani Friend, Rara Avis, and Craig Kohland from Shaman's Dream.
Both DownTemple Dub: Waves & Flames are the musical score to Duncan Wong’s Yoga DVD project, Awakening. Duncan's inspirational practice and love of electronically infused devotional music, along with producer James Wvinner's forward thinking vision of how to set the look and sound of the project, allowed us to push the bounds of Yoga music into a new realm of musical fusion--into something we call Yoga Dub: electronic devotional music blending the boundaries of downtempo, ambient, psy-chill and dub, while incorporating such traditional instruments as subahar, tabla, udu, erhu, cello and voice. The emphasis is always on the space between the music, allowing for a non-intrusive soundscape to support rather than distract from the listener’s activity.

Desert Dwellers is the convergence of music producers Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, a pioneering and prolific downtempo, psybass, and tribal-house act from the United States.
They combine the raw sounds of the natural world, wrapped in dance-floor and chill-out productions; blending deep bass, earthy percussion, etheric voices, and cross-cultural instrumentation into a sonic incense for the mind and body. Desert Dwellers’ unique global sounds are a bridge between worlds, and their label Desert Trax has become a platform to spotlight similar alchemical artists.
Desert Dwellers’ studio output is matched only by their extensive touring history, which juxtaposes performances at America’s most iconic festivals like Symbiosis, Lightning in a Bottle, Burning Man, and Coachella, with high-powered sets at the biggest trance festivals around the world; BOOM in Portugal and Rainbow Serpent in Australia. Desert Dwellers are equally at home in the clubs as they are in the yoga studios, and the jungles, deserts, and mountains of far-flung international festivals.
