Beautiful by name, beautiful by nature... :)

When reason is swept up with a gusty wind and we are left in wonder, where is this world headed? No one knows the answer just yet... But returning to Love & Music over and over is my medicine. So let's protest, pray, play, plant, ponder, wobble with the emotions and dance. Enjoy this offering beloveds, and may you bask in peace and trust!

Bali Lockdown ~ Ecstatic Dance (ft. Maugli, Afrikan Roots, Temple Step)

That last weekend of August 2021 I drove from Amsterdam to Paris to play for Ecstatic Dance Paris. I have known Virginie Brune Fluidity for a while and we had reached out to each other in the past, but a collaboration with Ecstatic Dance Paris never materialised. 
I must have been crazy to embark on this adventure in times of travel restrictions, testing stress and my extremely full planner, but for some reason it felt urgent. Was it instinct or was it pride that made it feel so urgent to me.
I arrived in Paris on Saturday evening. Our host was Dorothée Michaud. We talked about how hard it is now to organise these events of movement and connection. 
Some people say it is frivolous and not a necessity, for me dancing is my life. For many people dancing is so much more than just fun. It is almost like praying, making a deeper and truer connection to yourself. There is a deep tribal and ancestral element to it. When a group of people move together to the same repetitive beat, something special happens, something transformative happens. 
Dorothée and Virginie told me that this could very well be the last ED in Paris in this form and shape, because in France from 1 September you will need something similar to the vaccination passport to participate in anything. 
The dancers were ready. From the first note of my set, they went in, fully. Following my flow as I was building. Then I was speeding up, with vocals only and when I dropped that first beat, the whole room screamed, flooding me with all the emotions that were held inside. I cried. I mourn for the loss of freedom and free choice. I mourn for the deceased and sick people. I mourn for the chaos and suffering and I mourn for the loss of dancing.
 I mourn and I celebrate. 
I celebrate this epic moment when collective pain is expressed and danced with, so it will not eat away at the inside as much. 
I celebrate dance and connection, something that for me, is as important as any basic need.
The dancers did not hold back, fully engaging and going with everything that I offered them: Trance, house, metal, medicine music, jazz. 
Every transition, every change in direction or intensity was followed, like rollercoaster cars follow the track. They took it like it was their last dance.
Dancing deep and intensely. Faces and bodies full of all possible emotions. Children dancing and flying through the air. A 98 year old woman dancing on her feet and in a chair. 
This might have been the most intense and most emotional dance I ever played for. 
Whether it was a deeper calling or my lust for crazy adventures that got me there, I am glad that I was there.

💎 Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. 💎
― Arundhati Roy

Recorded live on the sacred lands of Solua, in the magical valleys of Alenteju, Portugal @ the Lucid Dreaming 💎  Femme Rising gathering...A true celebration of Life, honoring our:  wild-wisdom, the strength of flow-in-alignment & cooperation, our untamed-flow-of-love, 1 +1 = 3, the empowered grace of Unity, Balance & Respect...

The New Earth Nectar was surely dripping down our chins (like mango nectar!), as we danced until the morning dew, and felt the multiple blessings & synchronicities of Life...Thank you to all amazing beings who made this very special gathering happen:  a blue-print for our divine right to celebrate & honor this life, especially in these times of great chaos and transition.

💎 May the ripples of these frequencies continue to bloom inside the cracks of all that is being transformed inside and outside of us 💎

New Earth Nectar Vol.4  💎  Live @ Solua 💎  Lucid Dreaming 💎  Femme Rising, Portugal

A paradigm is shifting. A New Earth is being born.

This gradual wave embodies the potential of a unified and evolved humanity. A harmonic merging of cultures—ancient & modern. From mesmerising India to the enthralling Amazon. From the sensual orient to the depths of Africa. From the powerful Americas to imaginative Europe. Each part of humanity bringing its authentic frequencies into the creation of something new. 
 
This DJ-set unearths primal urges while celebrating emotional maturity. It’s gentle & subtle, sensual & raw, wild & ecstatic, liberating & emotional, primal & real. 

At IGNI, a New Earth tribe gathered to connect, dance and ignite the rain. Guided by electronic frequencies with tribal rhythms, we connected with our tribal essence and embarked on a journey back to our most primal connection with Mother Earth. 
 
We need you. We honour you. We are you. 
 
May the rain fall for the land and all beings to purify, cleanse & nourish. May this set empower us and guide us into rememberance of our connection to the earth, each other, and ourselves.

Thank you!

✧ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 @ IGNI—A Rain Dance Ritual ࿐ AME, Portugal ✧ 05.02.22 ✧

Recorded live at Ecstatikal Dance at Ikal Mayan Sanctuary in Tulum, Mexico on Sunday, April 10, 2022.

A gorgeous sunny day dancing in the open air studio footsteps from the ocean and white sand beach of Tulum. Such a beautiful setting with a sacred altar in the center of the dance floor and Kiauitl guiding the opening prayers and burning copal incense the entire time.

This was my last day after spending a month in Tulum for the first time. I had many gigs that month though Ikal was my first when arriving and my last before I left. The vibes at Ikal were magical and I spent many days just drifting around there. 

Each week at Ecstatikal Dance was different, though today was particularly vibrant. The dance floor was lit, kids were running around and the dancers were getting down like no other week I saw. 

I got a lot of great feedback from the community that day. The energy afterward was so loving and open. It was a real pleasure for me to play!

This set includes many great artists such as Kaleema, Paax Tulum, Alex Serra, Mixwell, Praful, Tropo, Temple Step, and a remix of Koffee by Captain Planet. 

Please Enjoy in joy~ Follow my profile, heart the track, repost the track, and share the vibes.

Akasha is the third offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. We are now prepared to enter the exquisitely ethereal realm of Akasha. The gentle welcoming melody in “Path of Illumination” relaxes us in preparation for our journey. Vocalist Meagan Chandler sings four of the ninety-nine names of Allah as Poranguí sings four names of god in different African traditions. This invocation, joining male and female and diverse cultural traditions, serves as a prayer for protection as we gradually remove the veil and dissolve into the cosmic memory of divine consciousness. We are becoming formless, egoless, as we float in the liminal space between life and death. The cosmos slows down. Vulnerable and open to the benevolent pulse of the universe, we are drawn into the inner sanctum of the akashic womb. 

In “Eternal Horizons” a soothing female voice, accompanied by cello and piano, sings a sailor’s folk song, guiding us deeper into the sea of love and loss, encouraging us to surrender more, to shed that which no longer serves. We know that we must let go in order to move on, that we must metaphorically die in order to be reborn, the eternal return. As we sail towards the event horizon and pass the point of no return, we are greeted by a gentle male voice that embraces us in compassion as it slowly delivers us to a brand new world, where we are bathed in peace, love, and understanding. 

It is time to come home to the “Heart of the Mother,” where we can integrate our cosmic journey in the warm arms of our beloved Pachamama. From our experience of ethereal awareness, we have come to truly know in the deepest depths of souls that everything is being held as is meant to be, that we are safe and whole, that we are protected by the supreme love of energetic forces that lie beyond the beyond. We see that our own capacity for love, as fragile as our earthly bodies and yet as infinite as the akashic realm of which it is a part, makes an essential contribution to the unfolding divine plan.

Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Akasha is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner-exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

Akasha draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, Celtic runes, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s magical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Akasha will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Liquid Bloom for Kuya, in support of paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Akasha offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.

Movement - Creating your waves of Be-ing 22.8.22

Here is my live set from Boom Festival.  So many of us had been waiting to come back to boom for such a long time, and when it was finally possible, there was an incredibly powerful field created on this special land in Portugal.


To have the opportunity to play a live set for people who poured their soul out to one another in the Prana Shala that evening, is something that I will remember forever, and I am deeply humbled and grateful that I was able to be there for this moment.

Boom Festival - Prana Shala  (Deep Dance)

🔸 Great Spirit:  please allow me to break more open to this Life, to hold more wonders inside my heart, and be a vessel of peace and power upon this world 🔸

This musical soul-tapestry – filled with many waves, breaking me open deeper to Life, and all her mysterious cycles--has taken me over 1 years to weave: many many cycles of letting go, sheddings, dying and being re-born with mud and grace, in order to meet this precious Life as it is, with all of it's spectrums. 

These times we are currently living in are filled with countless opportunities to break down and/or to break open:  it is my deep prayer for humanity that we continue to find beauty, grace and empowerment in all that is breaking/crumbling/transforming, inside and outside of us...this musical tapestry is a prayer for the Human Spirit, and for the seeds we plant for the generations to come.

I dedicate this mix to the eternal Life of Liv: thanking you for your presence, your love, your grace, for breaking open human hearts to life...I dedicate this musical prayer to Liv's parents: may they be graced by this eternal love, in all moments of this precious Life.

May these frequencies touch a place in you where deep peace resides, no matter outer circumstances.

Love, Alma
