Summer Season Fades Into Fall

Posted on Sep 29, 2009

The leaves are hitting the ground here in Calgary, and with that comes the beginning of the indoor season of events and getting out to enjoy the mountains once they are covered with a layer of snow. 

On the music front we are in the process of getting our uptempo and downtempo sets up here on Area709 soon, now that life will be slowing down a little. Each year we play at Motion Notion is an adventure in a lot of ways, this year being no different.

In the near future, due to Norris moving to Sweden for the next few years, we may be playing fewer shows but we do indeed hope to get out for a few special events in Europe or here in North America. Regardless, we hope to keep on adding mixes to Area709 to keep everyone grooving, there's just way too much incredible music to be left on our computers...  it must be shared!!

We hope everyone had a fantastic summer and are already enjoying the fall days, peace!

New Mix Is Up!

Posted on Feb 22, 2009

Well it took a few months, but the Motion Notion 2008 mix is up and ready to be enjoyed.

As for Motion Notion 2009, so far we are full steam ahead to come back and play some more tunes and this may be our only appearance for 2008 due to the fact that we are both in the process of many life adventures.

A huge thank you goes out to James Katalyst for all his efforts over the years in making Motion Notion happen, the guy is a miracle worker and one of the most dedicated people I know when it comes to his passion for psytrance.

We hope the mix gets you excited for the upcoming summer season and also brings back some great memories of last years festival season.

Peace and light!!

Enjoy The Silence

Posted on Jan 20, 2009

It appears that both Norris and I have been neglecting our SOA blog here on Area709, but that's only because we have both been up to our chins in this crazy experience called life. Norris has been chasing the lovely Nina all around the globe while also diving into the books as a full-time student. Apparently the rumor is that they were even spotted in Egypt, but that has not been confirmed by a reliable source.

On my end of things I have been strolling my way around the world with my wife Irena, and I have been keeping my stories up to date on my on blog here on Area709. I have also been having quite a bit of fun taking in music scenes in a number of different countries: clubbing in Ibiza, BOOM in Portugal, club barges in Belgrade, jungle clubs and beach bars in Goa, full moon parties and more beach clubs here in Thailand.

All the while I have been wanting to be able to sit down and record a mix of the first section of the Sons Of Aurora set from last years Motion Notion, and finally after many computer issues and a lack of being in any one place long enough... it is nearly complete. At this time Irena and I are staying in a remote hilltop hut over looking the ocean and to get to any stores or internet is a boat ride so it has been the perfect place to fully dive into and enjoy recording the mix.

Hopefully the next time I post an entry here it will be to say that the mix is up!!

Happy New Years, peace and light and Namaste,

Darvin.
