“There is no way to repress pleasure and expect liberation, satisfaction, or joy.”
― Adrienne Maree Brown, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good

Recorded live at the Somatic Revival in Asheville, NC. I geared this set towards sexy sensual partner dance, while keeping a wave structure to the musical progression.

Pleasure - live at Somatic Revival {Ecstatic Dance Mix by MIKAYA}

Сожжена дотла чужая вера,  
  жертвенники пеплом по земле.  
  Сколько видит глаз — лежат в золе  
храмы, а над ними дух Химеры —  
  жаркое дыхание Алей.
  
Посреди пустого пепелища,  
  пастбища под пар на сотни миль —  
  Джослин в Вавилоне строит шпиль,  
силами больных, рабов и нищих,  
  чтоб под ним похоронить Рахиль.

В этакую пору всякий слабнет  
  духом, телом, мыслью и мечтой.  
  Не спасет заблудшего ничто,  
ни лампадки чад за мраком ставней,  
  ни луны поблекший блеск ночной.

    Страшно? — А ты иди вперёд!  
    Зубы стисни, терпи, и иди!  
    Не зови никого, никто не придёт,  
    и не встретит тебя впереди.  
    Не проси о помощи, не те времена,  
    чтобы ждать добра от тех, кто вокруг.  
    Не ищи меня! Не зови меня!  
    Враг ничем не хуже, чем друг.

Темнота поднимет свои шторы,  
  зажигается рассвет как свеча.  
  Не руби швартовы слов сгоряча,  
помолись по свиткам, которые  
  ты своей рукой размечал.

Всякому прощение доступно,  
  только попроси — и твоё.  
  Воет в тишине, как койот,  
пономарь играет по-крупному:  
  арию Набукко поёт.

Мысль, лети на золотых крыльях,  
  голубем почтовым к чертям!  
  Знать, пора платить по счетам.  
Не тебе, дружок, могилу разрыли —  
  не тебе и отходну́ю читать.

    Страшно? — А ты иди ко дну!  
    Закрой глаза и даёшь полный вниз.  
    А пока ты тонешь, я тут прикорну,  
    только не зови меня на сцену на бис.  
    Не проси о помощи, забудь имена  
    тех, кого накрыла скрижалей плита.  
    Не ищи меня! Не зови меня!  
    Даже если будут пытать.

№3. Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate!

What Time Is It

Cruise: deep. unwavering. 

There are many different approaches to building the journey we call Ecstatic Dance. Here at Ecstatic Dance Records we refer to the following “phases” for the Ecstatic Dance journey: 
Arrival * Buildup * Peak * Cruise * Landing * Integration 

Arrival tracks welcome the community to the space and the dance floor. Buildup tracks get the energy moving. Peak tracks are for catharsis and climax. Cruise tracks are played between peaks, giving the dancers a chance to get recharged. Landing tracks carry the dancers down from the final peak into the heart. Integration tracks are played at the end of the journey to hold the “beingness” after all of the dancing “doingness”.

Ecstatic dance virtual set

Small moments of beauty captured in an arc between illumination in shadow. Garage style beats fuel a journey of rhythmic bass and haunting vocals.

Halo Momento

From a familiar perch atop the bass tombs, ethereal empress deLphi is long-celebrated for detonating the dancefloor with an amalgam of progressive bass music, world sounds, classic hip-hop, mash-ups and timeless R&B.  From humble beginnings as a spoken word poet and renegade artist, to successful runs with Goddess Alchemy Project and her own Radio Tarot, deLphi has leveled up in style and substance, piloting soul seekers on an introspective dancefloor journey. She has a gift for merging cultures in sound, the music dripping with sexy on any occasion she takes to the decks. Over twenty years deep in the West Coast game, deLphi remains magik maker and mystic; no stranger to spiritualized shanti nor the trillest dancehalls.  Ever the purveyor and tastemaker, the DJ refreshingly blends psychedelic bass textures with sublime femininity and an urban aesthetic. Delphi is the rare classicist able to weave yesterday's tomorrow into a textured afghan distinctly her own.

FULL BIO::

Celena Delphi is a multi-faceted artist, poet, DJ and earth activist, rooted in a foundation of community studies, permaculture, grassroots organizing and arts education.  Born in Summertown, TN and raised up in the arms of intentional community, Delphi has always been motivated by her deep understanding of art as an imperative tool for expression, communication and transformation, both individually and collectively.

Delphi's early creative explorations included poetry and renegade screen-print missions, beginning to evolve her identity and her offerings through language and free expression. She began Dj'ing in 2002, weaving musical maps to express a global movement born of the passionate uprising of the people in response to globalization and oppression. Through this work, Delphi began to more deeply understand music as the universal language of a (r)evolutionary generation.

From that place, Delphi co-founded the Goddess Alchemy Project, a women's multi-media collective and music group devoted to uplifting and empowering the divine feminine within all peoples as a key to true global sustainability.  Goddess Alchemy Project continues to travel extensively in the US and Internationally, building a quickly expanding and dedicated following.

Delphi also co-founded alKEMy deSignZ clothing line, which started as a basement art project and has expanded into a collective of artists and designers seeking to support themselves without sacrificing creative expression and artistic integrity. In the midst of this, within Goddess Alchemy Project Delphi has also helped to self-publish two poetry books, produce two albums, and build an extensive and interactive website. (www.goddessalchemyproject.com)

Celena Delphi commits herself with each breath to this work, which, no matter what form it takes, is all the same mission: to continually channel the blessings she has been gifted with in this life into offerings of magical activism and humble power that inspires others to do the same.
