Dr Graham St John - Remixticism: DMT, Psychedelic Electronica & Mystical Experience

Remixticism examines the intersection between psychedelic substances and electronic dance music as a form of techno-spiritual practice. By blending digital production techniques with the mystical experiences often reported by users of DMT, this cultural phenomenon functions as a neo-gnostic art form. Modern electronic music acts as a vehicle for hyper-spatial exploration, utilizing carefully programmed sonic samples to curate and intensify the user experience. Psychedelic electronica festivals have evolved into hubs for these spiritual technologies, where music acts as a catalyst for mystical states of consciousness. Artists often incorporate specific audio cues to manipulate the listeners' perception, facilitating profound personal revelations and a sense of interconnectedness reminiscent of traditional shamanic practices. This electronic environment allows for a modernized, secularized approach to ancient transformative rituals within contemporary society.
