It’s 2020, and everyone is exhausted. Things are falling apart, and then there’s the day-to-day stress of simply existing in the modern world. Screens are everywhere, we’re all tethered to our phones and social media; trying to keep up with it all seems just as impossible as unplugging altogether, especially when we’re all feeling that neverending push to always be productive—inspiration and motivation be damned.

Laraaji is a musician, mystic and laughter meditation practitioner based in New York City. He began playing music on the streets in the 1970s, improvising experimental jams on a modified autoharp processed through various electronic effects. He has since released albums for a variety of labels, often recording himself at home and selling the results as cassettes during his street performances. An exclusive new Record Store Day album comprising remixes and DJ edits of material from Laraaji's recent Sun Gong and Bring On The Sun LPs. The Album connects the new age ambience of Laraaji's music to the kaleidoscopic cut-ups of the LA beat scene via re-works from the likes of Ras G, Dntel, Mia Doi Todd and Dexter Story.
