Rhythm Sanctuary - Nest Of The Phoenix [11.10.22]

We just completed the iconic Triloka Tour with Random Rab and Bluetech, and wanted to share one of our favorite sets with you from the past two months, recorded in Portland on Oct 15th.

It was a real pleasure traveling all over the United States with two of our longest and strongest allies in the electronic downtempo music scene!

Big thanks to Michael Divine for contributing his artwork to the tour and to this cover >> www.tenthousandvisions.com

An incredible festival, an incredible dance: In the late night steamy heat of the Costa Rican rainforest we Invoked the sacred through sonic alchemy and surrendered to the divine.  This set was the culmination of everything I strive for on the ecstatic dance floor - in the amorphously porous container of a festival a multi genre, tempo-twisted offering of deep groove and penetrating cadence elastically stretched the potential for expression over 108 minutes of unpredictable storytelling as each dancer exploded into the hyper-nowness of being.

DRAGONFLY - SPIRIT CATCHER @ ENVISION FESTIVAL ECSTATIC JUNGLE DANCE 2023

Live DJ set played for Rhythm Sanctuary ecstatic dance in Denver, CO on April 6, 2023.

Rhythm Sanctuary 4)6)23

Rhythm Sanctuary is a vibrant ecstatic dance community near Denver, Colorado. Every Thursday over 200 revelers gather to express themselves through movement. I had the opportunity to play the event on May 12, 2023. 

The intention: deep. The energy: palpable. The expression: mighty. I thought the dance floor was going to sprout wings and fly. Maybe it did. 

I invite you to enjoy this set, my Rhythm Sanctuary debut.

James Barry @ Rhythm Sanctuary 2023.05.11

Spiraling back to Denver's Rhythm Sanctuary Ecstatic Dance. As always such a gift, pleasure, honor, and privilege to weave a sonic sacred dance flow for this amazing community of magical beings. 

Medicine is the human capacity to heal ~ You are the medicine - WE are the medicine.

This is my live set from July 9, 2023 at Santa Barbara Dance Hive in the Carrillo Ballroom.  Enjoy!

Live set at Dance Hive - Santa Barbara, CA - July 2023

This is my live recording from the Rhythm Sanctuary Ecstatic Dance on January 11, 2024. The feedback loop from music > to dancer > to DJ > to music > to dancer > to DJ was on a level I have not experienced. A unifying field emerged in the space where energies rose and fell and rose and fell and transmuted, transformed, healed and grew. And we emerged . . . expanded. Deep gratitude to this community.

What an unforgettable night at the Mishawaka celebrating 25 years of us making music together! 🌟 This venue holds a special place in our hearts—there’s nothing like playing outdoors, next to the river, under the stars. We were blessed with beautiful souls and fans who came out to make this anniversary show truly magical. Huge gratitude to Bloomurian and the folktronica duo Siren & Seer for opening the night with such mesmerizing vibes. We were thrilled to dive deep into an extended 2-hour set for everyone! Here’s to more memories and music together. 🎶✨

What an amazing celebration of life! A full night of music, dancing, aerial, performances, live painting, and so much more. Denver is one of our favorite places to play in the world. We've known and worked with Shpongle for years and opened for him earlier this year at Red Rocks when he performed with his live band. 

A huge thank you to everyone who helped put on the show. The lights, video, lasers, dancers, painters, performers, promoters, and, of course, the fans. ♥️

This set sorta breaks my personal rule of having a maximum of 2 tracks by any one artist in any set... and in general makes very liberal use of the whole Twisted Records crew: 


<a href="http://twistedmusic.com">twistedmusic.com</a>


...but whatever, it's where my head/heart are at right now, and I just wanted to create something personal and honest. 




This is a pretty good representation of the style of set that I tend to play at Rhythm Sanctuary dances:

and similar ecstatic dance, "music as medicine" events.
