Ecstatic Dance set played at Ecstatic Dance Melbourne on 26th April 2024.

As the world around us is seemingly gaining more and more speed, one of the more courageous acts we can do is to go inwards. "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom", said Socrates, and it is this question of "Who Am I?" that we explored through this musical journey.

It's also a reflection of my own personal story of stepping towards Fatherhood for the first time, and a questioning of the world that I want to create for my daughter and the generations to come. It's an ode to all the Mothers, to Nature, and to all of us who are consciously birthing ourselves into the next level of who we truly are.

None of this would be possible without the support of my teachers (Temple Step Project & Scott Nice) and to the musicians who created the incredible tunes shared in this set:

Ecstatic Dance - Who Am I?

Chakaruna is a DJ/producer weaving tribal bass, organic house, downtempo, cinematic soundscapes, and global influences into deep, danceable journeys. From meditative stillness to ecstatic release, his sets carry ancestral echoes and contemporary energy.

Rooted in nature and ceremony, Chakaruna (Quechua for “World Bridger”) connects ancient wisdom with modern sound — moving bodies, opening hearts, and awakening spirit.
