Spring Into Spring | Playlist
Spring is here!
Or.. is it summer?
We can't keep track with all of the craziness Mother Nature has been throwing our way, but that doesn't mean that you won't find us soaking in every inch of sun that shines through those Edmonton clouds. Tune into this uplifting playlist for your next at-home yoga practice, or a playlist we've found that we can't stop hitting repeat on.
Featured Playlist of the Month: by Sol Rising
Got a hit on a really excellent artist, making some magic for your yoga practice.
Sol Rising
Sol Rising's original soundscapes evoke feelings of bliss throughout an eclectic mix of electronic music and hip-hop.
Born in Vancouver BC, Brandon began meditating at age four with a walking mantra technique. His mother took him to visit numerous spiritual teachers, who inspired him on the spiritual path he walks today. As a teenager, he became a hip hop fanatic.
His rooted interest in hip hop led him to learning the art of scratching — using turntables as musical instruments. Sol Rising soon became one of America’s top scratch DJs, winning second place at the DMC, the world’s most prestigious DJ competition.
After graduating in the top 5% of his accounting class at University of Iowa, he realized accounting was not his path. A journey to India illuminated his true calling — to light up people’s awareness of their true nature through music. This lead him to study audio engineering and production at Pyramind Studios in San Francisco and produce his first album, "I AM Soul."
Now a successful Producer/DJ, with over 4 albums released, Sol Rising plays major events across the United States, including Wanderlust Yoga Festival, Burning Man, Symbiosis and Lightning in a Bottle. He has opened for major acts such as Steel Pulse, and produced official remixes for artists including Jai Uttal, Mochipet, David Starfire, Delhi 2 Dublin, Kirtaniyas, and more. He has also joined forces with Yoga powerhouse MC Yogi and has a fervent following in the global Ecstatic Dance scene. Sol Rising has been featured in major media outlets including the Yoga Journal, Washington Post, and his music has been enjoyed by over one million viewers in a viral YouTube video.
MONTHLY BEATS • More Sunny Days Please
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
It's Edmonton. We get it. Snow comes yet again. Here's to some sunny days and hot weather soon.
I've put together a little list of upbeat tunes to keep your mood up and get that booty shaking. Upbeat, meant for you to get up and dance, dance the snow away.
Monthly Beats • March Feels
music is life. that's why our hearts have beats.
There are simply too many things in life that we feel connected to. And yet we also need to find some time to disconnect. Unplug. And just get inspired by our own damn self.
Turn up the volume. And get on your mat. Just start saluting the sun with these beats and hopefully Spring will grace us with her presence early this year.
Monthly Music Mix: December • Holidaze
Ready for the holidays... it's December. we can start putting those tunes on, do our little dance while we wrap up some Christmas gifts.
Check out this holiday tune list. Not so traditional Christmas music.
