Gone Beyond

Producer Gone Beyond grew up in and around centers devoted to art and spiritual practice in New York and California, eventually landing him in the eclectic multi-cultural city of Santa Fe. The moniker, Gone Beyond was derived from the Tibetan mantra “Om Gate Gate Para Gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Swaha.” In translation the mantra or prayer means “Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone Beyond the Beyond, In Complete Enlightenment.”

At age 15, Dahvin and his brother Daniel formed a hip-hop production team and launched the Santa Fe rap group, the Unknown.

Since then Gone Beyond has developed a sound which is truly based on a depth of feeling and expression, continuing in the linage of great sampling artistry. Now with recordings dating back 20 plus years on every medium imaginable, momentum continues to build for the New Mexico based Beat-smith. Revealing elaborate loop-based compositions, and experimental arrangements,Gone Beyond forges ahead, honing in on his craft with deft technique. Showcasing Intricate sonic tapestries highlighted by chunky drum breaks, and layers of samples,the producer further explores and unearths loops off dusty vinyl otherwise long forgotten.
