12/06/25: Abandoned Homeland

Where there’s nature, there’s GWAAI.
Where there’s GWAAI, there’s music.
Where there’s music, there’s a vibe.
And where there’s a vibe — there’s us.

Abandoned in reality, alive in spirit.
By the river, we gathered for a secret session…
Creeping greens reclaim the rusted metal warehouse, the same way flying beats lift the dust beneath our feet.

Abandoned warehouses are the true womb of the underground, and we live for those places where rawness becomes home.

Big shoutout to all the fam that makes this incredible day possible!

Full set loading soon.

Shanghai, you felt like a hug!
Music in the air, leaves underfoot, and all of us together, finally!
You showed up, you danced, you made it home. Let’s keep this glow going, to more new friends and old pals 🫶

Groove, gratitude and gwaai!

After a while spending some time going around experiencing the music and different scenes in many places.
We are so happy to announce that we are back!
We are now in Shanghai!

There’s something about this city that moves us, the way sunlight filters through plane trees onto old pavements,
how strangers of every kind drift by on shared bikes, how each bar seems to hold a story, shaped by music, by friendship, by rhythm.
Here, East meets West in a quiet, glowing way like smoke blending with wind, like lights flickering between leaves.
So this time, instead of hiding in clubs or chasing the wild, we’re stepping out onto the streets, to dance with the city itself.
As autumn falls,
we’ll gather under the trees
to move, to breathe, to share warmth.
There’ll be music, laughter,
a haze of smoke swirling through the night, and the sound of feet brushing over fallen leaves.

So this time we’ve decided to not to hide in a club, or go wild chasing euphoria in the nature, we’ve chosen to honour the city streets.
At a beautiful bar on our road, one where we can share each others space, share each others stories, and still move & groove together.

Come join us this Saturday 25th October
9pm-1am and go on a journey together with all night.

Some nights don’t ask for permission.
They just happen.
If you’ve ever danced til sunrise, found family in a fog-filled room, or whispered secrets under strobes —
Welcome home.

GWAAI is all about the community
We gather for sick beats, sick vibes and sick friends🫂

New Mix Out!!! 🫶
Check out on SoundCloud: GWAAI

The universe isn’t quiet tonight—it’s throbbing, alive, and waiting for you to lose yourself within it.

Feel the gravitational pull of astral grooves as you slip into the dark matter’s embrace, spiraling through nebulae of molten soundwaves and glowing clouds of interstellar acid.

There’s no light, no map, no return ticket. Just you and the uncharted void.

Winter’s coming.
But the jungle is still hot.
Keep yourself warm out there.

We are excited to announce Gavin Prentice’s first official release under GWAAI label. With this EP, this South African based artist transports us back to a time when our raw bodies moved to deep basslines, and our souls picked up to the sounds of harmonic chanting. Let it take you.

Available on all platforms

Living Room Sessions 005 w/Slade is out now on GWAAI Soundcloud.

Don’t get high for this one, as the trance-inducing trippy sounds of the outer-space jungle will lure you down to the depth of the pistil, where mini eccentric nature beings thrive and vibe.
Now flow upstream with the acidic nectar into the flickering glow of the universe.
There’s no way back after this.
This episode is brought to you by GWAAI’s stellar host Slade.

This week’s track from .supersanity serves you a combination of woodwind instruments, shakers and laser beams. This allows your mind to wander to an undefined realm, where the inhabitants take it easy but move with intention.

Ada Kaleh describes the inspiration behind making this track as “just pure artistic expression.”

I hope you enjoy this week’s selection as much as I do! Until next week -Albert.
