Terry Phillips, better known as Animystic, has carved out a unique space in the music world with his fusion of mystical themes and hypnotic beats. His latest track, “Drawing Down the Moon,” isn’t just another release—it’s an experience that draws you in, holds you close, and doesn’t let go.
“Drawing Down the Moon” is deeply rooted in Wiccan tradition, inspired by a ritual where the High Priestess invokes the Goddess through the moon. This downtempo Organic House track is all about atmosphere. It’s thick with the kind of moody, Romani-inspired guitar riffs that have become Animystic’s signature.
The result? A track that feels as ancient as the ritual it’s named after, yet as fresh as a midnight breeze.
“Drawing Down the Moon”: A Spiritual Soundscape
Animystic’s journey into music started in New York City’s electric atmosphere, where psychedelic rock and underground dance music collided. But it wasn’t until a chance encounter with the Spanish Gypsy Minor scale at a Portland party that his sound really found its footing. That moment was a turning point, leading him to craft music that speaks to the soul, music that belly dancers and fire dancers can move to—music that feels like a spiritual ritual.
Teaming up with Cafe De Anatolia, a label known for its carefully curated world music, was a milestone for Animystic. He’s long admired their work, often weaving their tracks into his sets. So when they recognized his talent and featured “Drawing Down the Moon” on their label, it was a homecoming of sorts—proof that his unique blend of sounds had found the right stage.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Animystic
Animystic’s mantra is simple: “Less is more.” This philosophy shapes his music, his performances, and his approach to life. It’s this focus on the essentials—on what truly matters—that gives his work its power. With “Drawing Down the Moon,” Animystic isn’t just making music; he’s inviting listeners to step into a world where every note, every beat, is charged with meaning.
In a music scene crowded with noise, Animystic’s work stands out for its depth and authenticity. “Drawing Down the Moon” is more than a track—it’s a call to explore the mystical forces that shape our world, to connect with something bigger, and to lose yourself in the rhythm of the night. Animystic is a name to watch, a force in the music world that’s just getting started.
