EarthRise SoundSystem is the Artistic and Live team of DJ/Writer/Yogi Derek Beres and Producer/Percussionist Duke Mushroom.
Blending Duke's Award nominated production style (Bole 2 Harlem) and Derek's expansive vision of Global Beat Fusion, this duo has paired up to explore common cultural and sonic ground and create unique soundscapes, equally at home in the yoga studio or club and lounge.
The duo is hard at work on their debut recording, EarthRise SoundSystem: The Yoga Sessions, an electrorganic blend of music, designed for Derek's intense EarthRise Yoga classes. The album features an amazing array of musicians, including singers Morley, Lucy Woodward, Basya Schechter, Lital Gabai, Rachel Golub, and Daniel Dworkin, as well as contributions by Karsh Kale, Dave Sharma, and Eccodek, with more to be posted soon.
