The formative years of Hunter Thompson’s music as Akasha System were seeded and shaped by the shrouded meadows and wet woodlands of the Pacific Northwest: Sea Glass, Shadow Self, Echo Earth, Geomind. But pandemic flux flipped the script, prompting a migration to the monsoon tropics of Tampa. Heliocene ushers in a fresh chapter in the Akashic record, recasting the project’s precision synergy of cellular melody, holographic pads, spiral tribalism, and eco-futurist swing for a new solar age.
The album’s eight songs were recorded across 2023 and 2024, inspired by explorations of the many sanctuaries hidden in Florida’s ragged paradise: singing towers, ancient grottoes, emerald lagoons. From vortex house (“Purity Vector,” “Sun Particle”) to mirage electronica (“Haunted Planet,” “Soma Totem”) to hand drum divination (“Terraform Dream”), the sides flow, glow, and gleam, dialed in but dreaming out, tracing radiant waves of the eternal now.
“This album is a meditation to experience where and when you are, fully and wholly, regardless of where the path leads.”

oh you're telling me this is bursting with spacey balearic blissout tunes made with 90s hardware?? and it's just exactly my kind of thing? it sounds just like that cover art looks. David James
The deep spacey acid house vibes really groove in this album. It has a nostalgia and a freshness that comes together to make a pure flow in the listening experience. SHerbert
Michael Silver returns with more postmodern spa music, new-age compositions electrified with breakbeats, balearic interludes, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 17, 2019
The perfect underscore for a warmly contemplative afternoon or evening, alone or with others. Lovely and frequently alluring: the perfume of a dream. jūken
