Join David Satori of Beats Antique as he shares with us his history, as well as his creative process and relationship with psilocybin mushrooms and music. David will give us examples of pieces of music and stories of profound experiences he has had, as well as how to translate it to everyday life and what this means for the future as magic mushrooms become more accepted in society.

David Satori is a musical adventurer. Born in Burlington VT, David was inspired by the rich local music scene and started playing guitar and drums at the age of 13. David produced his first original album with his band Bubble Tribe in 1997 as a senior in high school and went on to study music at CalArts in Los Angeles, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Composition and Performance in 2001.
After college David bought an aging airport shuttle bus, converted it to run on vegetable oil and toured the US with his bands The Funnies, a four piece space funk band, and then later Aphrodesia, a female fronted futuristic Afrobeat big band from San Francisco. David also co-founded and produced events with The Sustainable Living Roadshow, a traveling eco festival. In 2006 David helped organize a month long West African Tour with Aphrodesia and the African Showboyz from Ghana, which culminated in twonights at the legendary Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria, the musical home of Femi Kuti, son of Fela Kuti.
David is co-founder of Beats Antique with Zoe Jakes and Sidecar Tommy in 2006, a trio born in the San Francisco performance underground, Burning Man, and West Coast Circus Bass music scene. Beats Antique has toured internationally and headlined Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado multiple times. David is also co-founder of Dirtwire with Evan Fraser and Mark Reveley in 2007. Dirtwire is a fusion of experimental Bass Music and back porch folk music from around the globe. Between both groups David has co produced and recorded over 20 albums in the past 15 years
David is also co-founder of an international nonprofit organization called “SunRise Studios Collective.” This project builds micro recording / multimedia studios in under-resourced places around the world, with the goal of uplifting youth by giving them a voice and helping to amplify their message through the art of recording and production.
David believes that music and art is a healing medicine, and encourages each of us to travel courageously and curiously into our passions and to spread the love of music and art wherever and whenever we can.
