2024 - white vinyl repress

Selected cuts are taken from the " Praise " Part 4 CD ! More

Influence of hallucinations induced by chewing roots from the iboga plant on the works of Joaquin Joe Claussell's Edits & Overdubs IBOGA Compilation. The iboga plant is indigenous to the humid, tropical climates of West Central Africa, including Gabon, Cameroon, Congo, and Angola, which are home to the 2nd largest rainforest in the world. It has been used for centuries in spiritual initiation ceremonies and practices, particularly by the Bwiti tradition and religion in Gabon.

Joaquin Joe Claussell was inspired by these influences and went into the studio to create a compilation of edits and overdubs of African vibrational sounds and rhythms. The result is a collection of eleven compositions that showcase the future possibilities of this influential work.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Limited Vinyl EP featuring selected cuts from the compilation. Listen loudly and enjoy the experience! More

There is meaning behind all of my artistic excursions. A personal outcry instigated by a constant need to express my daily life intakes. However, there are times where my rhythm and tone are called upon to align with a profound purpose. This project Progressive Roots Evolution, A song for Healing, was initiated by observing comrades in our immediate music circle, developing and thus dedicating their platform in support of the dancer community and producers.
What you will soon hold in your hands is a music story which demonstrates what manifests when energies dedicated to the art and support of the dancer and sound elevation align.

Enjoy the Journey

We invite to assist us in welcoming our latest addition to the Sacred Rhythm Music & Cosmic Arts Family. It is with excitement that we introduce to you SORA.
SORA will focus on the likes of deeper, electronic, soundscape compositions; Think more in genres of Joaquin's' widely acclaimed, but now paused Natural Resource, which is the sister label to Spiritual Life Music from back in the mid-nineties to early 2000's.

First up is The Ascension of Light and Wisdom 10 Inch,
Produced and performed by Joaquin Joe Claussell.

On the A Side, we have Subtle Light

Subtle Light provides some organic deepness of which leans more so towards Joaquin's traditional afro Latin influences infused with what we like to call Cosmic Art Trance Music. It is spiritual dance music that up lifting and as usual unique in presentation.

On the be B side we have "Peekaboo Is see You.
Peekaboo Is see You is a deep tech composition that Joaquin has been playing out for quite some time now. Exposed to enthusiastic audiences across the globe, it is a deep bass tech track that is in high demand. We are very excited that finally it will finally see the light of day, all the while spinning on countless turntables globally. More

Joaquin Joe Claussell readies the ‘Raw Tones’ LP on Rekids this June.

The first LP since 2008’s ‘Corresponding Echoes’ on his Sacred Rhythm Music, Joaquin Joe Claussell arrives on Radio Slave’s Rekids for ‘Raw Tones’, a nine-track excursion through the sound of his exquisitely soulful house music.

Originally released on uber limited cassettes, the music within ‘Raw Tones’ caught the ear of Radio Slave, aka Matt Edwards, who messaged Claussell, a friend since remixing Edwards’ Machine project in 2012, and convinced the legendary producer that the music needed a wider audience and, so, ‘Raw Tones’ the LP is here.

Introspective opening cut ‘Lock Down’ draws for breathy strings and swirling pads, followed by the hypnotic and low-slung ‘The Blame Game (Table Top Idea)’, which sees jazzy keys float around carefully crafted dubbed-out ambience and subtle, whispered vocals.

‘Break Free’ ups the energy, bringing a wonky bassline under decisive, machine-like drum hits while both spoken and sung vocals interplay throughout. ‘You Mutha Fuka’ brings rock-solid drums and thick bass underneath delayed vocals before the dreamy chords and twinkling keys of ‘Way Back Then’ close out the B-side.

The gorgeous ‘Air We Breathe (Revisited Cassette Demo)’ marries rolling percussion across live bass and softly drawn-out pads, followed by an instrumental version of ‘Break Free’. The final side of vinyl sees the extended trippiness of ‘If It's All In Your Mind Let It Out’ lead into the floaty low tempo closer ‘Hallucinations Ejaculations’.

Joaquin Joe Claussell, co-founder of Body & Soul with Francois Kervorkian and Danny Krivit, continues to run his Sacred Rhythm Music record label and curate the Cosmic Arts community centre in his hometown of Brooklyn, NYC.

SORA
It is times such as these that further supports our choice of remedy and why our pursuit to delve deeper into the creative process remains relentless and of profound importance. Due to the unfortunate and dangerous constant overlooking the special gift bestowed upon all of us by the higher power, it calls upon us to continue forward with our mission for productive change which has become ever more crucial to reach. What we're referring to isn't exactly in plain sight for all to see, but obvious enough to those who care to pay attention. However, what has become undeniably apparent to us; is the powerful moving vibration that emits from sound and art and how we connect with them. It is a higher calling that cannot be neither denied nor questioned, and we can only praise the wisdom, truth and love that they bestow upon us. Thoughts like the aforementioned is how and why SORA; an extension of Sacred Rhythm Music & Cosmic Arts, came into existence. Enjoy the Double Journey…

Somi - Afrikan Lady (Special Soul Feast Seven-Inch Mixes)
Following the huge success of the Somi Afrikan Lady 12inch
SRM 246 that was released way back in 2008. Since that time
there’s been a huge demand for Sacred Rhythm to release the
alternative mixes that Joaquin Joe Claussell and an exclusive few
of his DJ Prominent DJ friends have been championing. Giving
in to the pressure, we decided to press the unreleased mixes on 7”
Vinyl.
The A Side features the same intensity that is similar to how it is
on the previously 12Inch release, but with its own unique vibe.
While the B side offers a completely different approach hence
leaning more towards the side of, what Joaquin like to call,” a
freaky dub exploration of rhythm and drums.” The 7” will be
pressed on Special Colored Vinyl.
All in all, this is a dope seven inch of Afrocentric grooves and
Dope musicianship that, no less than its predecessor, aims to
continue rocking the dance floor. More
