Digital Nomads — Concert for Victory Beats

Digital Nomads is a psychedelic chillout electronic music project that was created out of the desire to collaborate with other musicians after experiencing the producer/musician community on the V/A compilation, ForeverShpongled, released in September 2021 on Chill Space.

The project is led by four unique individuals:

  • Ari Z Satlin (Zman8) is a music producer based in New York City, releasing electronic music mixed with live instrumentation, after being heavily influenced by the Ozric Tentacles and the UK techno scene from 1990 to 1995. Ari grew up in the West Greenwich Village NYC and in 1990, when he was 20 years old, he moved to the UK for 5 years just at the right time when the acid house electronica scene was ripe and blooming with free raves & sound systems & DJ’s setting up guerilla style in the fields of England.
  • Eduardo Arenas (V Lam Beat) began his electronic music journey back in 1998, a key piece of the evolution of the Mexican electronic music scene, sharing the stage along with artists like Total Eclipse, Koxbox, Infected Mushroom, Shakta, Medicine Drum, and many more. He is the legendary producer of Return to the Source Mexico Festival in the year 2000 and the Earthdance Festival in 2001. In 2016 he started his own music Label FrequenSeed Music.
  • Paul Hamilton (East Coast Electronics) started DJing when acid house hit the scene in '88 in the UK including stints at a pirate radio station. In the mid 90's ECE moved to the Spanish Mediterranean coast and DJing took a back seat to music production with those influences of original house along with funk, reggae and assorted eclectic styles ECE creates genre bending electronic sounds.
  • Vissudda (Dudley Burrell) is a drummer, composer, producer, and keyboardist who, along with Zman8, created the cult underground band Spangle Head 90-95.

The debut album by Digital Nomads, "Walkabout (The First Gathering)", is just the beginning. The four are now preparing to finally merge as one creative force, blending their musical and spiritual paths together with strength in unity and progress in community.

Digital Nomads invites you to join them on the dub side of the moon. 🌘
