Ecstatic Dance

This is a selection of tunes that were shared with me by my dear friend Mike Cole. Putting a mix together was my way of honouring him whilst coming to terms with my sadness at his passing.
This one's for you Mikey and for everyone who loved you. It was a pleasure sharing the decks with you and watching you get the dance floors bumping. Rest easy my friend ♡

MIKE COLE RIP MIX ♡

Ecstatic Dance Kazan | February 2022

This might be my favorite mix I've made. Making it was a deeply heart felt, spirit guided process. Played on a Sunday morning for one of my beloveds, Asheville Movement Collective. 

The intention is "Dearly Beloved" and as this was played the day before Valentine's day, it is an invitation to expand our hearts in the agape, communal, universal love <3 

~Dearly Beloved~
Dearly Beloved
We are gathered here today
To connect with one’s self and each other
To dance for that which we pray

We find ourselves on the dance floor
Time and again we meet here
Through rhythm releasing our burdens
Through rhyme releasing our fears

And as we go through this process
As we take the journey of the wave
We open our hearts to true love
Reflected in the eyes of each gaze

A community built on this purpose
Is a beacon of light this day and age
Freedom of expression our value
With universal love as our way

So thank you for sharing your presence
Your process, your prayers, your dance
For meeting us here in agape
The ultimate love and romance <3

Recorded live at Ecstatikal Dance at Ikal Mayan Sanctuary in Tulum, Mexico on Sunday, March 13, 2022.

This was my first set in Tulum! I got to see many people I know from around the world and also meet some new friends. We danced together in a gorgeous, open-air shala right near the white sand beach and ocean. 

This set is infused with Kundalini Mantras, Deep Sexy Bass, Fun Latin Vibes, and Oceanic Reverence.

Artists include Raio and sophie sôfrēē , ATYYA, Mixwell, Karem Raïhani, and a Mashup with a Brazilian favorite and a brand new Florence + The Machine track. 

Enjoy in joy~

Meu Deus ! 
How much I love Brazilian music !

So to celebrate the Jewish holiday of "Purim" where it's traditional to put on customs and party till oblivion, I played a special edition of Ecstatic Dance focused on Brazilian and some Afro-Latin music.

Highlights:

- "Folha De Jurema" by Nicola Cruz and an older melodic/organic version of this enchanting song
- My latest unreleased remix of Lakahta by Yehudit Ravitz, and a Disco-Samba remix by Omri Smadar (Omri Smadar ) of the same singer
- A bossa nova remix by Dekel Terry of Matti Caspi, another Israeli singer
- A Samba remix of "I want you back" by the Jackson 5
- A remix of "Pata Pata" by Miriam Makeba

Much gratitude to Itay (Spirititu) for having me, Nitzan (Balance the Horizon), Shaked Gur, my 70 year old Aunt who managed to arrive, and the rest of the dancers.

Benjamin Crystal presents

Ecstatic Shamanic Dance, 8am @ Lifeplugin Summit 

You are invited to set some intentions and dive into the transformational power of Ecstatic Dance. For those of you new to ED, the modern genre is defined by a few guiding principles that support you to get the most from the journey.

ED is a free form dance experience - dance your truth and find the authenticity that is uniquely you.
ED is a sacred space and transformational practice free from drugs and alcohol.
Ecstatic Dancers observe verbal silence while dancing. This helps us to journey deeper and support others to do the same ✨

NUTIA – RAOUNUOR (LUL006)

∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿

The winter's almost gone and Luettje Luise's Mama comes out of hibernation. With a new playground at home, it will take a talented hand to prepare for the upcoming spring. Along comes @Nutia, sowing his seeds of ‘Raounuor’.

‘Fischbahn’ (A1) is a decent wake up call for the early birds facing their way back north to the deep woods of ‘Schweden’ (A2). Here, Nutia serenades those old inhabitants with a rattling melody, and sends them on their way with heads still light. ‘Em Pessoa’ (B1) tinkles on the flipside: a lullaby of constant perpetuation, which echoes its way through the mesmerising labyrinth of trees and bushes, only to be heard by the lonesome @Deer (B2), who answers with the most gentle mating call these woods have ever heard.

‘From Outside’ (Digital) the vinyl some unknown voices fly in. One might call them electronic - whatever that could be.

Wonderwheel Recordings is very proud to present the long awaited debut album Bennu by Queens, NY based produced Thor Partridge, aka Thornato. Building up a name for himself over a number of years as a proficient and in-demand remixer, Thor’s breakout tune “Gaita Gaita” has been sampled thousands of times by producers all over the world, and has become a certified hit record in South America. A string of remixes and a couple of rare song releases later, Thor’s groundbreaking Things Will Change EP was released via Wonderwheel in 2016 garnering massive buzz and record sales, resulting in a European tour that summer, and a Boiler Room performance in the fall.

Bennu represents a giant leap forward for Thornato, as he showcases his chops in crafting dancefloor gems from the ground up. While the electronic production of the album provides a strong backbone, Thor has carefully selected artists from Jamaica, Ecuador, South Africa, Colombia, Canada and beyond to breathe live energy into each song. From the massive bass driven energetic dancehall vibes of “Rhinoceros” featuring veteran chat master Gappy Ranks, to earth shattering chopped up African dancefloor sounds of “Chagamei” to the contemplative Flamenco influenced deep house sound of “Welwyn”, and moving into the uplifting & soulful dembow vibes of “Tu Luz” featuring Lido Pimentia – Bennu is an album that carefully navigates through the globe while maintaining a cohesive and consistent feel from start to finish.
