This was such a magical evening! ✨

This was my first time ever DJing at the Istana, in Uluwatu. 🌴

And my third time DJing for a DōJō Contact Jam. (The first 2 were at Moksa, in Ubud.) 💃

I love that I have so many opportunities to play completely different styles of music, and still find my own flavor within all of them. 🔥

These dances have a very special place in my heart. DJing sitting on the floor, as if at a tea ceremony. The slow tempo. The spaciousness. The connection and embodiment of the dancers. SUCH a vibe.

Thank you Joe, Lisa, the Istana, and everyone else involved.

And thank you to all the incredible dancers that came out. It was such an honor to have the fullest dance floor the Istana DōJō has ever seen. Wow. ❤️

Infinite Gratitude. 🙏

Love,
-Toltech-

I played this set for a sexy party Connect Dance Love and it filled the dance floor and set the tone with sexy, deep, root chakra vibes. So please go get sexy to it. Enjoy! :-)

Wow! Such an epic dance! Thank you to everyone who came and got down.

ENVISION FESTIVAL - ECSTATIC DANCE
(edit. Sat, 9 March: Renamed set "JUNGLE PRAYER ECSTATIC DANCE". Thank you everyone for the feedback. Your dance in the jungle was juicey.  The set was a collective somatic prayer, an embodiment and a devotion to the dance as medicine).

And like all my ecstatic dance mixes, this is a raw portrait of the dance floor before me,  each set experienced as a unrehearsed, spontaneous collaboration with the dancers. But on this particular night in the jungle I had and agenda: Peace, prayer, healing, tribe, remembrance, beauty, home.

Envision Festival was the apotheosis of what a dance floor can do, and how far it can go as collective cathartic release. It was a total hot, sweaty meltdown of a trust fall.  

p.s. DJing ecstatic dance at a festival generally requires getting down to business from the get-go. Unlike indoors, these dances compete with other stages, are a porous container, comers-and-goers, talking on the dancefloor....and this also makes it special and surprising for the uninitiated.

p.s. If there is a specific track you want to know about, pm me. It will tell me that you listened.

Forest Guardians," the latest sonic exploration from Liquid Bloom and Bloomurian, transcends genres, offering an enchanting electronic-organic journey.

Following their impactful "Fragrance" release, Amani Friend and Robin Leipman return with the multi-talented Onanya, seamlessly blending world music, modern beats, and bass. Onanya's profound contribution, infused with ceremonial prayers, African ngoni, native flutes, along with Shipibo-style vocals, adds layers of authenticity. 

The collaborative spirit, featuring Yube from the Huni Kuin tribe, creates a vibrant tapestry celebrating diversity. In a world where music bridges cultures, "Forest Guardians" is a transformative masterpiece, a must-listen electro-organic odyssey resonating with purpose and unity.

If you'd like a track name please comment. Like's and reposts really help me get more listens. Any engagement is always appreciated. Danke!

Played live on March 24, 2024 at the Asheville Movement Hall to a packed room. I shared the stage with Random Rab, Cpt Hyperdrive, and Spirit Animal. Special thanks to all my friends who came to get down, I know there was a lot going on in town that night. 

There's no "theme" to this set in particular. The set went through several revisions, and ended up being cut 15 minutes short because the event got off to a late start. I'm thinking of releasing an extended studio version later this week, so keep your eye out for that.

When constructing the set I drew from influences in music I was exposed to while on my recent travels to Hawaii. Special thanks to Dajah for introducing me to Surround Sound. I mashed it up in this set. Also special thanks to Osiah, Ginko and Lachlan for the support and some dope track suggestions.

Cover art is the event flier from the evening. Thank you Hunter Dunlap for having me out to play.

Opener for Random Rab {Live Club Set by MIKAYA}

🌊 I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was to DJ an ecstatic dance on a beach, looking at the bright blue ocean the whole time on the island of Maui, with dancers everywhere, swimming, grooving and feeling it all, together, outside in the sunshine. So, I'll let the music express it 🐋

P.S., this happened to be on St. Patrick's Day 🍀 hence the Celtic jam in the middle of the set!

As I stepped onto the Earth Stage at the Texas Eclipse Festival 2024, a rush of excitement flooded through me. It was an honor beyond words to have the opportunity to share my music with the vibrant souls gathered under the canopy of Texas skies. Little did I know that the next few hours would be a journey of transcendence, as the energy of the crowd surged and swirled around us.

The crowd began as a humble gathering, but as the beats echoed through the air, it seemed to grow exponentially, swelling to a couple of thousand souls united by their love for music and the promise of connection. It was as if the very essence of the festival came alive in that moment, pulsating with anticipation and possibility.

As I delved into my set, the energy of the crowd became palpable, a tangible force that seemed to weave its way through the air, connecting each person in a shared experience of euphoria. The music served as our conduit, guiding us on a journey of exploration and self-discovery.

With each beat, each melody, the energy began to coalesce into a tribal frenzy, a rhythmic dance of heaving souls seeking enlightenment through the transformative power of sound. It was a beautiful chaos, a symphony of movement and emotion that transcended language and culture.

As the night unfolded, I found myself lost in the moment, swept up in the collective energy of the crowd. Together, we danced beneath the stars, our spirits soaring as we surrendered ourselves to the music, to each other, and to the magic of the festival.

The next day, in those fleeting hours, time seemed to stand still as we basked in the glow of the Texas Eclipse, our hearts and minds open to the infinite possibilities that lay before us.  I knew that I had experienced something truly special—a moment of pure connection and communion that would stay with me long after the festival had ended.

Performing at the Texas Eclipse Festival 2024 was more than just a gig; it was a privilege, a gift, a chance to be a part of something greater than myself. And as I stepped off the stage, heart full and soul alight, I knew that I would carry the memory of that night with me forever, a reminder of the power of music to unite, to inspire, and to transform.
