MOSE

“Great music is that which carries the present minded listener to the doorstep of infinity.”

Mose is based in Guatemala where cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance have had a major influence on his productions and DJ style. It is here that he founded regular cacao dances where members of the community have the opportunity to journey deep into dance while held in a ceremonial container, free of alcohol. 

Mose blends multicultural rhythms and sacred chants, often improvising with live musicians to create immersive, site-specific experiences. Viewing his craft as a spiritual practice, he sets a foundation for self discovery and the cultivation of a present minded state which offers new insights and deeper clarity in one's purpose.

When he is not touring the world or playing these special events in Guatemala, he spends his time going into extended periods of retreat and silence, only to emerge with a deeper, truer and more refined sound. He also supports other emerging artists through his record label Resueño with an intention to bring resonant souls together to create music that uplifts and inspires. The label transcends any particular cultural aesthetic and explores a universal vibration through weaving sounds and languages from around the world. It is also a vehicle for social causes as 22% of all label profits are donated to causes around the world to help those most in need.

What Nick enjoys most is the spirit of improvisation, how deep you can lean into the moment. How to learn as much as you can and then forget it in order to dive into the unknown at the risk of having to turn your potential “mistakes” into owned moments that lead to the uncovering of new melodies and frequencies. A metaphor for life. The imperfect perfections within us all, personified as sound.
