Welcome to episode 8. Today’s topic has come up in almost every episode so far, and for good reason. Where I’m from, Shambhala Music Festival is kind of a big deal.

The first 30 minutes of today's show features 3 guests on their connections to the early days of Shambhala. In November 2020 I reached out to Shambhala Music Festival founder, Jimmy Bundschuh, and we had a quick chat about the first Shambhala Music Festival and the challenges of transforming his parent’s cattle farm into a raver's paradise.

I speak with British producer and DJ Ali B about what it was like to perform at the festival in the early aughts. And we’ll hear about The Librarian’s first trip to Shambhala in 2000 and how it inspired her to get into DJing and producing. Today’s musical feature is a mix from the archives. Stick around to hear The Librarian and Mat the Alien recorded live at Shambhala Music Festival.
