New Mescaline by Darla Smoking

New Mescaline is the final chapter of Darla Smoking journey, one defined by hope and collective healing.

Rooted in dub science and shaped by transglobal traditions, New Mescaline is a sonic offering, a homage to ancestral musical forms from around the world, Indian ragas, desert blues, Balinese gamelan, Iranian jazz, and countless unnamed ritual rhythms reimagined through modern electronic production and deep, breathing basslines. Each track is a quiet invocation, a reminder that music has always been a vessel for hope.

Where previous releases confronted extinction, loss, and urgency, New Mescaline turns toward light. It is music for inner journeys and shared spaces alike. Meditative yet physical, grounded yet expansive. Dub echoes dissolve into shimmering soundscapes; organic drums converse with modular synths; ancient melodies resurface as calm, steady pulses of reassurance.

New Mescaline is not escapism, it is reconnection. A collective breath. A soundtrack for imagining a gentler future, where tradition and modernity coexist, and where serenity becomes a form of resistance.


Step into the ritual.
Let New Mescaline guide you.

Slovenian post-dub duo Darla Smoking inhabits a fictitious musical landscape defined by hypnagogic transglobal samples, intricate modular explorations, bass science and sturdy drumming. The duo takes you on endless journeys through vast inner landscapes, sacred sites and dreamt up worlds that simultaneously feel mysterious and familiar. Somewhat enigmatic and cultish yet with a clearly internationalist political agenda, the message behind Darla Smoking’s music is clear – we can only build a better world as a collective entity.

Electronic band working with traditional music of the world.
