DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED HOUSE & PRAIRIE BLUES

A sacred journey into the fires of rebirth woven for Denver's Rhythm Sanctuary community. Releasing all that no longer serves, alchemizing that which remains in the phoenix fires, crystalizing our rebirth into lasting transformation.

Rhythm Sanctuary - Nest Of The Phoenix [11.10.22]

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

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.

MY RUMINATION

With the Global Eclipse approaching, Desert Dwellers have gathered and compiled a stunning collection of deep, subsonic grooves calling to the masses celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. On August 14th, one week before a total solar eclipse will be visible across a wide band of the United States, DesertTrax releases Antumbral Shadow, a jaw-dropping 25-track compilation of some of
the best international artists spanning psychedelic chill-out, glitch,
house, techno, bass, and ambient tunes.
Dive into numerous unreleased tracks from artists like Kaminanda, Mystral, Zen Baboon, Somatoast, I Awake, Luke Mandala, Liquid Bloom + Numatik, PheuZen, Moon Frog, and many others, as well as newly minted originals from international chill out legends like Entheogenic, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and Origin. Embrace brand new interpretations of Desert Dwellers tunes from artists like CloZee, LuSiD, and Treavor Moontribe, and a brand new unreleased remix
of Poranguí by AtYyA. These mysterious and deep soundscapes were gathered by Amani & Treavor of Desert Dwellers with this celestial celebration in mind, to help you navigate your optimal Eclipse journey. As the sun is engulfed and time stand stills, so too will you transcend into the spaces between shadows.

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:

<a href="http://www.rhythmsanctuary.com">www.rhythmsanctuary.com</a>



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

Chris Cox - Rhythm Sanctuary Ecstatic Dance v1

With an electro-mystical pulse from the fringes of psychedelic world-fusion, Medisound instills the vibrant landscapes of visionary bass music with raw and emotional tones of conscious hip-hop in their debut album, ‘So Blessed.’  Built around a high-tech electronic framework from producer Tyler Gibson (Birds of Paradise, Gibson) and colored with the heart-drawn musings and instrumentals of Aum Prakash, this collaborative project explores the symbiotic spaces between worlds through its balance of futuristic bass elements, old-world instrumentation, and uplifting lyrical play. A powerful new chapter in the age-old tale of medicine music, ‘So Blessed’ proves the mutability of cultural boundaries and uses the magic of words and music to heal, uplift, and help guide us back into our hearts and oneness with all of life and each other
