Learning as much as I possibly can about whatever is interesting to me at any given moment, listening to music that moves me, evolving, photography, Burning Man, fine ale/beer, creating music in many forms, spreading concious thought and energy, existing in the present as much as I can...

Skoi Sirius hails from the electronic underground with beats for the body, soul, and mind; his passion injects a cerebral element into his music that lifts his sets to a higher spiritual domain. Self-converted to the electronic side after a thick dose of jungle and drum and bass at the Ice House, an abandoned warehouse in Arizona in the early 00’s, he now walks the path of the underground, pushing boundaries with vinyl-only sets as often as possible. Representing his home of Seattle through the music collectives of audiblebicycleday and The Oracle Gatherings, Skoi spins spiritually-infused IDM lathered breaks and downtempoish beats that take you on an aural voyage through several musical realms of being before bringing you back again with a smile on your face and a groove in your brain.
Recently, I've just teamed up with Ari Zucker (of arisawkadoria) and Richard La Chapelle (audiblebicycleday) called:
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who realizes truth: conscious human beings that can help improve themselves, me, others, life around them, and throughout the world...
Beings with information to learn from and spread vibrantly. Beings that know how to GET DOWN and have a kick ass time with one another. Beings that enjoy the pleasures of life and more...

BIG HIGH performs live @ the High Dive in fremont this Friday! Check it out!
Here's a review of the band from the infamous Dennis Cook of Jambase.com: A touch too punchy to make the morning offerings, I stumbled in and got WOKE THE FUCK UP by Big High, a local hard rock ensemble and friends to Flowmotion that struck a first impression akin to my first mind-blowing Drunk Horse gig. Like Oakland's steel-plated punk-boogie juggernaut, Big High aren't screwing around and it wasn't a whole tune before I was shaking like a madman close to the stage. Killer tunes, a crazy tight band and a lead singer (Mesa on "vocal flyfishing") possessed of a fathomless bottom and high reachin' top end plus a leaping, fiercely engaging stage presence, and well Big High sorta rocked my widdle world. It's serious heavy muscle that puts a lil' anger and sex in your bloodstream, culminating in a frighteningly good cover of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" delivered in Dr. John style feather masks for no good reason except to be delightfully weird. If you're feeling Clutch, Parlor Mob or just dig quality hard rock you're missing out if you don't get to know Big High. At the end of their set I bellowed, quite uncontrollably, "We're awake now, motherfuckers!" Meant it, too. -- Dennis Cook--www.jambase.com www.myspace.com/bighighmusic BIG HIGH is also on facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/BIG-HIGH/134022157365?ref=nf High Dive www.highdiveseattle.com 513 N 36th St # G Seattle, WA 98103-8693 (206) 632-0212 &
Sweet! Right on. yeah Johns a good guy. Oh and you were so right about Beloved... haha Awe man. It was fun but for sure way too hippy elite... And Way too much god talk... felt a little like a much more entertaining version of a christian camp I went to when i was 12. a cosmic, psychedelic, with a hint of a 1970's time warp version =) but entertaining none the less.
