The Peaking Goddess Collective are simply divine. They’re a combination of Electronica and Rock with spiritual overtones. They merge analogue instruments with digital and electric sounds with acoustic. They’re primarily a jam band and their songs are sprawling psychedelic down-tempo masterpieces. With only one perfectly-formed album, they leave us wanting more. Personally, I can’t get enough of them and I’ve used pretty much every song of theirs at some point in my mixes. Perhaps it’s because they’re so good at producing music that allows you to be horizontal on the couch, slowly turning into a potato whilst partaking in the Devil’s Lettuce. I’ve never understood that phrase. Surely a benevolent entity was involved in that particular creation? I mean, it does soften the blows of existence somewhat.

Transformational Dub Reggae infused Dance music. Equally at home on the road as they are in the studio, Dreadzone play blistering sets as a full band or as a DJ act. Their sound is perfect for chilling out to or for blasting out at peak time. Designed to tickle synapses with conscious inspirational lyrics and samples that tease at punky rebellion without shoving it down our throats. Love is the message and what could be more rebellious than that in this time of deep division? Where unity is an anathema to the powers that be, music can bring us together in celebration and joy. A flick in the eye to the dark forces in this world that would see us living in suffering and misery. Dreadzone are all about the light – awareness, wisdom, connection and peace. Hopeful visions of the future, not doom and gloom. Bask in the irie vibes.

The Witching Hour by Stealth Tactic
Can you feel the imagination of the collective rising? Magic is returning to this realm. Truth be told, it never left but it has been suppressed. The witches are no longer hiding in the shadows, afraid to show their faces for fear of being burned alive at the stake. What spells are you weaving with your words? The tongue is an incantation tool. With each phrase we curse or bless depending on our intention. Have you blessed the world today with wisdom or have you let your mouth run away with you? Speak your visions out aloud and let your manifestations appear in reality. This is my manifestation that I can share with you freely.
