As I was pulling together some songs for this Ecstatic Dance set I realized it has been 22 years since I first started to collect vinyl and DJ. 
So in celebration of this journey I decided to dip back into some classic artists and tunes that have inspired be over the decades. 
...As well as sprinkling in some freshness, a few cheeky mashups, and a few of my own too, of course. 
Enjoy!

Eclectic Psychedelia Vol 2

Feel Life series continues with a talk with Scottish sound psyientist Hedflux, followed by his special mix for the show.

HEDFLUX is the main music project of Scottish-born DJ/Producer Steve Young. A life-long electronicmusic enthusiast, Steve has been spinning in clubs and festivals since before he was legally allowed enter them. Starting out in the early 90s golden era of rave, he went fromold-skool breaks to nu-skool breaks via happy hardcore and drum& bass, spending all his money on turntables, mixers and vinyl while changing his DJ namem ore often than his underwear. In the early naughties he developed a naughty relationship with psychedelic trance. Inspired by it’s smooth curves, other-worldly atmospheres, and an unrivalled ability to produce kaleidoscopic visions in the 3rd eye, he endeavoured to step up his production game and synthesize the ultimate heady dancemusic hybrid: psychedelic breaks! The debut Hedflux track “Music Is MyWeapon” was released in 2008 and this set the archetypal template for the next 5 years of music, during which time he released more than 30 records and performed across the UK, Europe, Australia and America.

It was an absolute honor to participate and contribute to this amazing event.  Having departed from making psy trance several years ago, it was a real blessing to have my path lead me right back to where I had always aimed to be.  In a way it was the first time I had played my music in the environment I intended it for.

Bird of Prey-Live @ Boom Festival 2012

New years set from the Hawaiian Sanctuary.  This is a tribute to my favorites I've collected over the year.  It's been super fun to search around and find fresh music to play at our weekly events here.  Thank you all for listening and keeping the dance alive.
Also, thanks to Uni for recording the nice new year's affirmation samples for the set.

Tropical NYE (Dj Mix) 2021

Birds of Paradise is California-born producers Torin Goodnight (Bird of Prey) and Tyler Gibson (Gibson).  Since their debut in 2011, they have traveled the world, playing main stage at many of the biggest and best electronic music festivals.  Having a similar aesthetic but still maintaining an individual approach, they combine forces in a symbiotic project to work towards a common vision and master the art of collaboration.  The duo plays to its strengths- patience, beauty, and depth to offer a truly original sound of rolling percussive breakbeats, progressive melodies, incredible sound design and twisted psychedelic layers.  Their fusion of elements, both natural and synthetic, create an engaging bio-digital landscape that leaves little to the imagination.  It will take your ears only a moment to realize that you have uncovered something special.
