Balance The Horizon - Blindance ~ Inner Demons

The Eternal Wave was played for the Asheville Movement Collective on Sunday, March 6, 2022. The inspiration for the set was to explore the wave progression commonly used in 5Rhythms and Ecstatic Dance sets and to deepen the structure so that there are waves inside of the waves. This helps to create a more dynamic stuccato and chaos with oscillating genres and moods to keep the dance floor very dynamic.

There are more songs with lyrics in this set than a typical 5Rhythms set. In this case the lyrics tell an important message that I wanted to share. It is a message of hope that embraces love, courage and freedom in a time of conflict and rebirth as winter fades and spring breaks ground.

Thank you for listening, and enjoy the journey within on this Eternal Wave.

Ecstatic Dance Melbourne - Temple Step DJ Set Feat. Madhu Honey (19 Aug 2022)

Pillek, producer, writer, and composer based in Amsterdam, strives to generate a relaxed, rhythmic ambience through his music. His work encompasses a broad range, from indie electro and laid-back lounge to indie pop and chillout. Pillek's compositions foster an atmosphere conducive to both daydreaming and focus, whether you're completing tasks, unwinding by the beach, commuting, or simply enjoying a leisurely drive home. His primary goal is to induce relaxation.

Leveraging his network of diverse musicians and vocalists, Pillek ensures that each single retains a unique sound, unified only by the consistent ambiance and vibe. His music fluidly transitions from poppy tunes replete with vocals and hooks, to laid-back trip hop, inviting both male and female vocals into the mix.
