About Ivan Latyshev

Ivan Latyshev is a Russian producer and musician living in Spain. He began his musical career in 2003 exploring dance music and deep-house culture. In 2015, he transitioned away from deep-house, collaborating with labels like Large Records, Toolroom Records, and King Street Sounds.

His musical journey then shifted to "music as healing", focusing on electronic modular music, ambient, and ethnic styles. He created the album "The Eagle Nest", which is now used by therapists and praised for revealing "multidimensional space" and offering healing experiences.

His music can be described as: "alchemy of sound, multidimensional grooves, healing and wisdom of the music."

PODCASTS

Alae Records Podcast is a special form of creating mixes, in which extensive experience in DJing since 2002 and extensive experience in interacting with various therapeutic approaches, including sacred plants is invested. The music for each podcast is selected very carefully, it goes through various stages of working with people, so the result is an hour-long healing mix that you can listen to deepen and root in the heart or just to relieve stress.

Sometimes these podcasts are compiled by guests of the label, who somehow share its philosophy.

Podcasts are coming out not regularly because it takes time to find the appropriate music that really "works" and can reveal such a delicate and subtle space of the human soul.

Vol I Resonant Garden and Liu Bao

During this session, we were enjoying '4 Gold Coins' Liu Bao Hei Cha of 2000 vintage sourced by our tea brother Wojciech Wozniak TheTea.pl and Ivan used an acoustic-electronic hybrid synth 'Resonant Garden' created by Folktek, along with an ocarina flute by Vitaly Che and a Tibetan bowl. The general idea behind this creation was to open up a space in which music and tea can flow together in a spontaneous way. The tea was served in the bowl tea style, with charcoal boiled water, and teaware by our dear friends Petr Novak and Mirka Randova was used. Music was creating a psycho-acoustic ambient space, which allowed for the fire, the water and the teaware to join the sound flow. It was an improvisation and even though some resonant singing was planned, the 100 syllable Vajrasatva Mantra showed up unexpectedly, and later a medicine song was born in the process. We were a bit nervous at the beginning because we had never done something like this before, but as the session progressed, we found our flow and everything became natural and organic. We hope you enjoy these moments with us, we hope it will be useful in your own tea sessions, meditations or just as nice background music for your life.
