Touring!!! Plus other good news for ya!

Hey All!

Last few weeks have been outstanding...mid-year season began (summer on the N and winter in the S) beautifully....

New Yubaba website online to commemorate the confirmation of our album release on September through Cyberset Records!!! Check it out! Thanks to Zariat for getting it ready for us! We also have a track coming out at Timewarp Rec. from Greece, a collaboration with TrotterTrotter, featured on his EP of the upcoming album.

Starting on June 1st we had a really inspiring event at Temple, SeedSource 1.0, we all got together - artists, government officials, entertainment professionals - to talk about what we been working on, new initiatives and what’s next for greening our entertainment industry...followed by awesome shows of Beats Antique, Shawna, Flying Skulls, Kitty D, Majitope and myself.

After that was time to hit the road. New York City was my 1st stop, with a beautiful and rocking show at CoSM sharing the decks with my good west coast/ canada friends Ribotto, Tomas Cruzio, Anasia and other great talents...cant forget to mention the cozy minimal techno gig Activate as well...

Gaian-Mind Summer Festival followed it...uau!!!...The best Trance Festival in the East Coast for sure! So amazing to be with the family!!! Great to see the development of the scene after missing last years gathering...if you guys read this...THANK YOU U ROCK!!! I had the honor of starting the dance for the weekend with an early night minimal set on thursday, I couldn’t had imagined a best way to finish my USA tour phase....

Now its Terra Brasilis!!! South, but if you think im sweating here, you are wrong...winter time! I'll be here for the next month and really hope to see all those friendly smiley faces! Starting this week Thursday (26/06) I will be playing at 12 pm in the legendary, longest running trance night in Sao Paulo, Klatu. Then it will be Belo Horizonte, where I have 2 dates, playing with Tim Healey on July 4th at E-Cool!

And it just gets better, Trancendence, located on a Quartz Crystal plateau which is the most amazing location I been in this country, 5 days of comemorations...Yubaba Live and DJ sets of minimal and chill-out. Don’t miss it if you are anywhere around that has a plane to take u there!!!

To finish this brazilian phase, nothing less than Tribe on July 19th sharing stage with the top brazilian Chill-Out artists Trotter, Smurf, Alquimix, Lotus...

Then, its Europe! oh yeah! Boom Shankar! I am assisting Naasko on the management of the Liminal Village at BOOM Festival in Portugal, a whole month there, with a live and dj set to make my dreams a bit better than i had wished for!

After that back to Brazil for a week, so far confirmed date is Siona on September 3rd at Clash in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Back North then...NY, Cali and maybe Canada....

Hope to see you somewhere around the globe!!!
