Mystic Moot
Mystic Moot makes melodic, instrumental, mid-tempo dance music with elements of trip hop, rock, reggae, and Dub. Featuring the production skills of Joshua Mouton, Mystic Moot released their debut Cd Dub Trance Mission in March 2009. It represents two years of recording and musical experimentation. When the group started playing live shows in early 2009, guitarist Mark Poitras was brought in to expand the sound and Greg Main joined the group on drums in January 2010. The group today combines live looping and samples with live instruments to create a unique sound.

Dub Trance Mission
The album Dub Trance Mission is a result of recordings done over two years with Joshua Mouton producing, playing Bass, Keys, Guitar, and Melodica. Over several sessions, Patrick Montgomery added drums to 8 of the 11 tracks and Jason Frey played tenor sax on 2 songs. The music is a hard to define mix of modern dub and organic electroncia heavy on melody and soul.
