Simon Posford | Shpongle Live Studio - Solstice Day

[@gretchenscheel8403]

You know what Blows my mind? .... the fact that Simon and shpongle in general have such few likes and comments. . And yet, IMO ... this is some of the most beautiful and creative music I have ever heard ... in fact, id say the Most beautiful and creative......

[@bobbycollins6783]

Yep. It's Genius is what it is. With Shpongle he created a new type of music. There where a lot of artists on the Psy world that started making music like this. And they were good I think. But Simon was the originator and always kept evolving his sound. Genius is not to strong a word I think to describe him.

[@gretchenscheel8403]

@@bobbycollins6783 absolutely!! And it almost never gets old .. as I have aged in years and spiritually wise, it's a new experience every time I listen to aby album.... I just wish there was mooooreeee .... although I understand that true perfection takes time, and he says he's done touring ....... I'm just praying they don't quit composing!

[@_dimitri_1242]

I think it may be because many don't understand their music because it's not simple 4 chord type of music. It's extremely complex and everytime I listen to one song, I hear a different one. Especially when on LSD since hearing is affected you hear a hidden song in the background

[@gretchenscheel8403]

@Bobby Collins thanks so much!! Yeah I have, but thank you for the reminder!!! I'm gonna give it a re listen!!!

[@sharabiani]

shpongle music is too advanced for average brains.

[@sweetpill77]

❤ u Simon. And grandpa RajaRam too. You are the best musician! Iam 41 and iam from Russia, Moscow. There are many people who love shpongle like me in here. So big greeting from all of us to all people of Earth 🌍

[@user-ib8bv4ij2y]

ПОдтверждаю!=)

[@yurijogurtsov8710]

from all of you to all people of the Earth? try passing your greetings to Ukrainians first. when they approve, come back to the Earth's people

[@jhsalem5480]

These individual people have no say about what goes on. They live under a dictator who uses his own people as cannon fodder. It isn't like some laborer in Moscow is going to be able to change anything in anyway when going up against the secret police of Russia

[@ShockTheMonkey35]

Always find Shpongle travelers at their shows - If I had the cash and means, I would love to follow Shpongle around the world for a touring season 😁

[@squirrelwood8008]

Unlike the ever repetitive garbage that the music industry keeps throwing at the world, this music never gets boring. There are so many nuances to listen for, its an adventure and a journey every time!

[@Robfnord]

How am I only just being recommended this now?! This is amazing, I love how he has thousands of pounds worth of gear and a five quid mouse

[@strumminfuel4625]

haaa!

[@ITSERIKAPRICE]

Get us to it. This is the master. Also check out his other work SHPONGLE YOUNGER BROTHER HALLUCI-NATION and I think he does work with OTT also.

[@Deme3s]

Посфорд настоящий трудяга. Держать в голове образы треков, объяснять музыкантам какие сэмплы музыкальных инструментов и их партии ему нужны, первый раз намечает последовательность и структуру трека, далее сидеть за синтезаторами и гитарами, накладывая на заготовки свои аранжировки (собственно на видео), микшировать и сводить, и в довершение ещё парится с таймингами... у многих бы жопа треснула.

Nice to see Peter Jackson doing some electronic music!

i would fly to vegas for this

Love this, when he sneaks “shine” from younger brother at 8:30 pure genius.

[@sjfghkljf]

best part!

[@ixtabehecatl]

My favorite part as well!

[@astraxxxx]

❤❤❤ I’m following this guy for so many years and for me this is simple : he is to electro what MOZART is to classical music : the BEST of all. Please Simon : make us some new albums that will be listened for centuries ! ❤❤❤

[@user-fq9pt9fi4y]

wow just listening on december 25 - 2023 . amazing

[@23jazz24]

Cheers....same here!

[@xerox8080]

I've never heard of this guy before and now I can't get enough of his wonderful sounds. He's genius 👍😎

[@Jesiahjesiah]

Ha, yeah that's been the story since he hit us in the 90s. Check out his original uptempo project, Hallucinogen, if you want to go deep in. The guy is a genre unto himself.

[@simonkormendy849]

The man himself, Simon Posford is THE man!!!!

[@arbCannons3395]

Still hoping to see this man live one day. Covid and rain ruined the last 3 chances i had when he was near me. If ya somehow see this comment Simon keep making that beautiful sound. Love it

[@BWills32]

Saw the masquerade nearly a decade ago now. it was the memory of a lifetime.

[@randolfo1265]

A guy can just sit in a chair and create something this amazing. Pure Genius.

[@liubomirl.lissitchkov7222]

Oh man, I had the last hours of my birthday listening to this track... Thank you so much!

[@skedi33]

the best ever!!!! Shpongle changed my life, had my awakening to „Invisible Man in a Fluorescent Suit“. #WeAreONE

[@polymermachinesrus]

This is not only music. This is space . Thank you , Simon .

Awesome mix of Dorset Perception & DMT. Simon Posford is a modern day Merlin!

[@puhbrox]

Can't wait for the new album to drop!!! It's the 7th one, and we all know 7 is a magic number!

[@requiredfieldcannotbeleftb9746]

Younger Brother is gone by the looks of you. Long live Weird Uncle.

[@alexbrack773]

I was today years old when I learned Simon was in Younger Brother.

[@DaftFader]

@@alexbrack773 I remember when I first found that out ... I simultaneously (within the span of a handful of years) got into younger bother, OTT and 2 different incantations of mr. Posford's music alter egos that I was aware of (Shpongle and Hallucinogen). Then found out he was also in younger brother and that melted my mind for a few weeks whilst I got over the shock aha. I knew from early on that OTT used to be his sound guy, but not right as I first started to listen to him. It was like 50 % of the music I was listening to for a while had something or another to do with Simon and I had no idea initially with most of it lol.

[@christopherdeluague385]

@@DaftFader He's also Celtic Cross if you haven't heard that side project yet.

[@DaftFader]

@@christopherdeluague385 Yeah I'd heard of it. Not really my thing though tbh. It's good musically wise, I'm just not really into much rock other than a few select bands/songs. 🙃

[@michaelclark8900]

Darshannon by celtic cross is a classic

[@LiamVonOahu604]

The Hallucinogenius!

[@michaelflandez4510]

The only psy I can digest. Mad respect and appreciation for him and his music. Once like 10 years ago I was fortunate to see him play a live hallucinogen set and a Shpongle set the next day at Eclipse festival in Montreal. 🎉

God Bless you Simon Posford !! Thank you for all your work - thank you for building the most amazing and beautiful sonic architecture ever constructed - it is beyond comprehension - you and Raja Ram’s flute and the guitar work etc etc etc - my ears and soul are in perennial gratitude - please stay healthy and keep persisting !! 🙏🎼❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏

Man I'd pay to sit there for a session, just watch and listen, must be wild :D

[@lukemurray3854]

I don't think the guy on the couch there saw anything close to what we did 🤣

[@simonkormendy849]

The man, himself, live in the studio, I just wish I could make tracks half as awesome as the ones on this album, sadly I've got a long way to go before I'm at his level of music production and creativity, Simon if by some chance you manage to read this, please keep these videos coming and peace to you and your family......cheers!!!!!!!

[@Imapatriot]

I think that’s cosmic trigger in the background. Simon is a master at his craft I enjoy his live sets very much in person. The bass absolutely thumps your body into a dance frenzy of love and joy.✌️

[@cameddy4081]

Incredible guitar addition - perfect timing - as with everything and the synth lead ripping the universe open . You are the ultimate sonic wizard - and so few are even aware of this fountain of creativity!! Simon you are the embodiment of our evolution of of understanding of electricity . The sonic horizons you fly are indescribably beautiful and richly textured - psychedelic doesn’t adequately describe the experience of listening to this - just flipping amazing - Love the weaving in of certain patches or rhythms or pieces from Shpongle and the segueing into this new original - thank you for you have given and Happy New Year - blessings to you and to grandfather Gandalf , Raja Ram 🙏🙏🙏🌏✌️❤️🎼🎼🎼👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@idobornstein6929]

first time listening to Shpongle Are you Shpongled, about 20 years ago, I thought this was a whole new genre of music by itself, which I liked to term Trangle, obviously combining Trance and Jungle. Shpongle is one of the best, if not the. Generally, everything that comes out of Simon Posford's head and hands is just masterpiece after masterpiece - including of course Hallucinogen and Younger Brother. Thanks for all your contribution to electronic music

[@gratefulpete4810]

gosh i've listened to and danced to Posford since the 90's. brother is looking like a mirror. i'm old, we're old, who cares! what beautiful music, my bits have been shifted. the mixer can be an instrument. don't let nobody tell ya otherwise. get weird with it! hey, is that person on the couch alive? okay i see them nodding along too :)

[@fluffyvins]

😅😅

[@fluffyvins]

Did not even notice till you told me lolol

[@alexgilsenan1629]

Wow, this is incredible. Started my life in Sterns and made my way over to infected many years later stumbling across the lone deranger......insane. Having seen Mr Posford in the flesh now I can safely say the man looks perfectly intune with the music 😂. Unreal ❤ , thank you so much!

[@bens4295]

Holy Shit. My wife is British. We had 2 of those same couches for years. Never should have gotten rid of them.

[@trippmoore]

I saw Simon do a live DJ set some years back at some little club in Santa Monica, CA. I wanna say this was 2004 maybe. I was working there at the time and I just happened to see something about him appearing that same day. It was probably in the LA Weekly or another local free paper or it could have been that I heard it on KCRW that morning on MBE) . I was a big fan of Shpongle and his other work (still am) and was so stoked to see that he was doing a show locally. I'm pretty sure it was billed as "Simon Postford" and not Shpongle or Hallucinogen. I can't remember the name of the club, but It was a very intimate setting and I was dancing along with a lot of other people right in front of the stage (I don't think it was possible to be more than 30' away given the size of the venue). I had such an amazing time. I wasn't sure exactly what I was in for given that I'd never heard him perform under his actual name , but I was not at all disappointed. The set blew me a away and I was dancing and moving and jumping along with all these other people for most of the set except for taking a few breaks to drink some water. I wasn't under the influence of any good drugs (I had a few cocktails at the bar before the show began) but I felt like I did when I used to attend desert rave parties outside of LA in the late 90s/early 00s and we had real good e back then (that's what we called in in my heyday, not molly like the kids today). It must've been around 2 hours of almost non-stop dancing and clearly remember being soaked in sweat. It felt so good to walk down the street to my friends car after the show because it was a cool night and it was the perfect temperature after being so hot I didn't care that I was soaked through with sweat, mine and probably various other peoples our bodies were packed tighter and tighter as the show had progressed on that small dance floor. I don't think my buddy was super happy about me sitting on the nice leather seats of his new Lexus, lol. But he was a bro and got a towel and a Gatorade out of his trunk, one for me to sit on and the other to replenish my most assured deficient balance of electrolytes. I was definitely among the top live music experiences of my life. This is a big MAHALO going out to you for that evening and for your entire body of work that has meant so much to me. If you are ever coming out to Oahu, Hawaii I could hook up a venue for you at the Old Sugar Mill in Waialua on the north shore. I might even be able to get a place for you to stay for a week right in the beach free of charge. No joke. DM me if you are interested.
