Dymons is Daniel Symons, a Englishman living in Switzerland if borders mean anything...
I started drumming very early in life... with my mums pots and pans...
Aged 17 I hit the road toward Morocco with a couple of drumsticks and came back with a darbuka.
Love for drum beats and thirst for adventure then got me on a train to West Africa with a drum kit... In Burkina Faso it was traded for djembes...
Alternate life styles, cultures, and music have taken me over the 5 inhabited continents.
I've spent over seven years "on the road" gaining considerable amounts of musical experience. I've collected many instruments and quite a soundbank as most the travelling was done with a digital tape recorder.
I have now settled down (a bit) in Switzerland to learn the skills of sound engineering... This has resulted in lots of musical creations.
Wanting to share this abundant creativity with the rest of the world I decided to create a record label...Elestial Records...whose goal is to unite artists from around the world...
My mystical nature and deep feeling that "there's much more to reality than we can see" led me to explore different states of consciousness with shamans and medicine men/women from many different parts of the world.
I've helped others experience such states and cure themselves by musically accompanying healing ceremonies and rituals such as firewalking, trance dances, sweatlodges, etc...
It has also lead me to spend lots of time in nature where I find lots of inspiration and creativity.
I've played and written music with artists from all over the world and have performed more than a thousand live gigs in over 30 different countries:
Outback Eclipse, Soulclipse, Boom, TranceKarma, Quest for Goa, Rainbow Serpent, Synergy Project (I.D.Spiral, Turaya), Exodus, Zoom, Morocco 2001, Mystery of Eleusis, Psyberpunk, Temple of Light, The MicroCosm (Alex Greys Museum), Paleo, Biolive, FrakaSound, Life Festival, Wickerman, Glade, Waveform, Tribe of Frog and many more...
My first solo album "Druids Brew" is a potion made of the many influences I was blessed with traveling through space, time and beyond... It features some friends from various places around the globe.
I am also involved writing, recording, mixing and performing with The Peaking Goddess Collective (Peak Records).
I also took part in the final mixing of Pearce van der Merwes album "Flooting Grooves - Upsyde Downe" (Peak Records)
And I have also released tracks on various compilations and DVDs such as Boom Festival DVD(with Ajja and also with the Peaking Goddess Collective).
Genres: Ambient, Electronica, Chillout, Dub, World Fusion, Breaks, Progressive, Psy Trance and some brews made up of all of these !
Flooting Grooves and I are now preparing a new album called "Cosmosophy-Organic Space Age"

”Walking Through” the door of perception where all is “One” and there exists the realization that God is sitting in the temple of every human body. Some are aware and have reverence, love, and compassion for each living soul as such but many are unaware of the Divine sitting at the throne within ones own consciousness. Such a total realization would end the egos state of separation responsible for war, pain, and suffering.
