Our guest for this release is a Musician and 'Ecstatic Dance' DJ.
He is inspired by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, life-long dancing and music-collecting, 20 years of traveling, and an extensive study, practice, and teaching of yoga, tantra and body/energy work. 'Ethnic' is his middle name - He weaves devotional, folk, organic and electronic music from cultures and ethnic groups around the world into dance journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.

He shares about this journey :

Hey AKA Tapes Listeners,
I was excited to be invited to prepare a journey for Aka-Tapes.
I am very passionate about all kinds of African music lately.
With the artistic and creative freedom that Tony offers, it was clear that i wanted to play include lots of jazzy, funky, blues-y African music.
This was a challenging decision and a long process because some of the songs were difficult to mix together, and I’m very happy with how it came out.
I’d love to hear how this journey touches you - please comment below.
