Desert Dwellers

Desert Dwellers 沙漠居民 是一個主要做電音瑜伽音樂的團隊，制作人是 Craig Kohland，主要成員有 Rara Avis、Amani Friend 和 Treavor Moontribe（即 DJ Treavor）。
　　Desert Dwellers 沙漠居民 由居住于美國西海岸的激進的藝術家、富有創(chuàng)造性的思想家和音樂現(xiàn)狀的革命者組成。在90年代早期，我們時常在一起聚會，每次聚會之地就是我們的神圣領域，我們在那一起放松、冥想，并聆聽一些chillout、ambient和downtempo風格的音樂。就是在這些聚會上延伸出了現(xiàn)在電子舞曲的前沿和如今的techno-tribal音樂。
　　“DownTemple 失落神廟”是一個新音樂系列的名字，它以一些downtempo風格的音樂為主題，目標是讓世界上所有的聽者在聽了這樣的音樂之后都能感受到平和與寧靜。
　　當 White Swan 公司暗示將用“DownTemple Dub 失落神廟”來命名這個新音樂系列的時候，我們感到一些吃驚，因為這個項目的組織者是一些我們非常要好的朋友，但隨即我們就將巨大的熱情投入到了“DownTemple Dub 失落神廟”系列和 Desert Dwellers 沙漠居民 這個項目組當中。
　　我們希望我們的音樂能讓住在這個星球上的人都感到愉悅。因為我們知道，音樂是我們治療心靈的鑰匙，音樂是我們找尋和發(fā)現(xiàn)朋友的鑰匙，音樂是我們理解人類偉大而深沉的情感的鑰匙，音樂還是我們超越自我、提升自我的鑰匙。（以上原創(chuàng)+翻譯網(wǎng)絡英文資料，轉載請注明作者和出處——See2say.com 看道）
Desert Dwellers' roots lie in a thriving community of provocative artists, creative thinkers, and progressive-minded individuals based on the West Coast. Since the early 90s, our extended family has assembled regularly, forming a sacred space where people can relax, tune in and bliss out to chillout, ambient and downtempo music produced by a loosely-knit collective of DJs and producers. These gatherings have extended the frontier of electronic dance music and today form the epicenter of the techno-tribal renaissance movement. DownTemple--in addition to being the title for this new music series--is also the theme for some of these downtempo events, where a vision of promoting a conscious way to walk peacefully in the world is shared by all. When White Swan suggested the name DownTemple Dub [+] Click to read morefor this series, we were stunned by the synchronicity, as the organizers for Downtemple are some of our closest friends and share our eagerness to spread the ethos of Downtemple and Desert Dwellers alike. This is the intent written into our music: that it may contribute to the overall well being of the people living on this planet. Music is our key to healing. Music is our key to finding fellow travelers during these intense times, and it is our key to understanding the great depths of human emotion, and our potential to soar. ------- DOWNTEMPLE DUB: WAVES is Rara Avis and Amani Friend's first full-length album together. Born less than 48 hours apart in the year of the Dragon, these longtime friends share many cosmological connections, animal totems and spiritual practices, and an uninhibited passion for the musical diversity of the Universe and the healing properties of sound and vibration.
