Celebrating two decades of sonic alchemy, enigmatic producer Aiwaska returns with Flora Fauna, a mesmerizing seven-track LP that melds deep, emotive House, Melodic House, and Indie Dance into a transcendent auditory journey. Crowned by the magnetic lead single Love to Hateâfeaturing the smoky, spoken-word vocals of Aquarius Heavenâthe album pulses with rolling basslines, moody synths, and crisp percussion, embodying the shadowy allure of the underground while radiating global dancefloor appeal.
A master of atmosphere, Aiwaska crafts soundscapes that feel both intimate and expansive, weaving hypnotic grooves with spiritual depth. Flora Fauna thrives on collaboration, with Prana Flow, Megane Mercury, JAW, and Thomas Gandey each adding their distinct textures, yet the project remains unmistakably Aiwaskaâsophisticated, immersive, and charged with late-night energy. Tracks like Love to Hate blur the lines between meditation and movement, perfect for dimly lit clubs and sunrise sets alike.
Beyond the music, Aiwaskaâs mystique is amplified by his signature shamanic mask (a gift from Peruvian elders) and his commitment to eco-conscious artistry. His label, Aiwaska Planet, merges music with environmental activism, featuring animal-inspired artwork and channeling event proceeds toward wildlife conservation. Now, with the launch of his NFT-powered Aiwaska Planet Project, heâs pioneering immersive experiences that unite dance culture with planetary stewardship.
With support from Black Coffee, Solomun, and ARTBAT, plus releases on Exploited, Crosstown Rebels, and Get Physical, Aiwaska has long been a staple of the global underground. Flora Fauna solidifies his status as a visionary, offering a record thatâs as body-shaking as it is soul-stirring. For fans of electronic music with purpose, depth, and undeniable groove, this LP isnât just a listenâitâs a ceremony.
