1.	The Question (feat. Jonathan Lehmann) [Original Mix] 07:45	lyrics
Welcome I’m glad you’re here I’ve been waiting for you I know you wanna know We all want to know You’ve always known there is something more than this Come with me... The question is Why are you here ? The question is What are you looking for ? The question is What do you have in common with everyone around you ? The question is What do you seek ? Witness your mind Your mind drives your life Your mind creates more then 50.000 thoughts every day Most of them useless... Your mind is never satisfied It always wants more But you, are not your mind You are the consciousness That can drive your mind You are the consciousness that can feel pure joy You are the consciousness that only needs itself Close your eyes Feel the weight of your clothes on your body Feel the sensation of the air on your skin Feel the air coming in and out of your nose Feel the cold air come in And the warm air come out Feel your feet on the ground Feel the energy all around you Feel every single sound Ask yourself Why Are you here ? Ask yourself What do you seek ? What you seek is not what you think What you seek is not outside What you seek is not yesterday What you seek is not tomorrow What you seek has always been here What you seek is the present What you seek is the moment What you seek... what you seek... is NOW

about

Berlin-based, Franco-German producer and DJ Franz Matthews, alongside well-known happiness coach Jonathan Lehmann, have crafted a thumping, hypnotic EP that combines music and the practice of guided meditation as one.

We’ve collated remixes from a spread of some of the greatest minds in electronic music today, including Aera, The Organism and Milio, to create their unique interpretations of this pioneering project of mind and music.

Franz Matthews’s original brings a complex web of interlocking percussion rhythms that develop with unfolding synths throughout the guided meditation to reach a soul-shaking climax. Transporting us on a journey through the mind with a captivating piece of musical storytelling throughout.

Aera steps up with the first remix, carving out a spacious story that casts the spotlight onto the spoken word vocals from Lehman, combining elegant rhythms with contrasting layers of subtle harmonic movement and mind-altering synth melodies that engage the inner recesses of the brain.

The Organism takes things into a more aggressive, percussive direction, using his archetypal sound to traverse across the planes of your mind. Off-kilter synth tones collide across a punchy Moog style bassline and grooving disco-tinged drum machine grooves underneath.

Finally, Milio brings his distinctive club sounds to the blend. Mixing glitching rhythms with wandering melody lines that integrate elements of minimalism and techno into a joyous and playful reworking. Milio’s distinct ability to craft memorable lines that are equally unique and quirky closes this superb remix package off with finesse.
