Amani Friend is a musician, composer, DJ, and producer, best known by his artistic moniker Liquid Bloom and as one half of the duo Desert Dwellers.

His work blends ambient, world music, and psychedelic electronica — combining ancient ritual sounds with modern production to create immersive journeys, from deep stillness to ecstatic movement.

In this episode, we’ll talk about how sound can become a portal for transformation, how meditation and intention shape the music he create, and why festivals can serve as sacred ceremonies.

We’ll explore Amani’s creative journey — from hidden power places in New Mexico to global stages — and how deep intuition, spirit, and nature continue to guide his path.
