about
You awoke.
You were there, among the luminous beings. You did not know how you had arrived, or what language they were speaking, but you understood they meant no harm and they wished to sing you a story.
It was important.
Their words, somehow familiar, shimmered on the verge of meaning. And as their iridescent music enfolded you, you knew they longed for you to understand.
Then it was over, and you awoke, and you were back.
This is what you remember.

Created by a conservatory-trained classical composer turned electronica producer, Akara's mystical dancefloor symphonies are songs of the luminous extradimensional beings, sung across the veil of reality.
Floex is a next-level psychedelic producer from the Czech republic also combining classical instrumentation and composition with deep, mulitlayered beat production. A kindred spirit with Akara. Akara
One of the great original new-school midtempo visionary electronic music producers. Such subtlety and grace and groove. Taking dubby dance music to a transcendent and deeply musical place. Akara
Sultry vocals and sensuous grooves. Erykah Badu, Portishead, you get the idea... Fused with an Appalachian roots thing, it’s neo-soul reinterpreted. Very good stuff here. Lute FP
