The Desert Dwellers (aka Amani vs Teapot) are comprised of three musicians from New Mexico and California who share a common love for outdoor sonic explorations and the re-discovery of ritual beneath the vast desert skies. There they have spent many a full moon opening their inner ears to the sounds of the deep night sky, soft sandy dance floor, and the wide-open spaces that these magical realms have to offer.

Amani Friend, Rara Avis, and Treavor Moontribe all bring a lifetime of compositional and DJ experience to their current collaboration together. Their music blends elements of ambient, psy chill, downtempo, breakbeats, progressive, electro, tribal house, and trance : it also incorporates ethnic, sacred, traditional and world music in a way that shows our deep respect for that which has come before us, and our understanding of where we are now.

Amani & Rara have trained in many different forms of music from all over the globe, and are also acutely aware of the great healing potential that music has to offer. It is their wish that you join them on a journey of self-discovery, and enter into a world of sound that comes from the vast expanses of inner and outer space.

Their music appears on White Swan Records, Six Degrees, Native State Records, Ritual Sounds, System Recordings, Sounds True, and their own label Desert Trax. They have remixed and collaborated with artists such as Karsh Kale, Deep Forrest, Jai Uttal, Michael Stearns, and Craig Kohland of Shaman's Dream Music.
