Stretching Tiger Yoga Flow Mix

This is a live recording of my opening set to celebrate my good friend Treavor Moontribe's 50th birthday. The evening took place at a Moroccan-themed restaurant in Hollywood, and Treavor played a 4-hour set after mine, so we were able to really dial in the flow. 

I've been collecting some tasty slow house music in the last few years without any real place to play them, and this set gave me a chance to flex that muscle a little, toward the end of the set. I had fun with it.

Phaeleh - Resolve
Mystic State - And Again
Congi - Pool
Sandspider - Late
Mah Ze Tar - Bahar Delkash (MORiLLO Remix)

Mint Condition

🌿 This was a deep one. I had a such a beautiful time opening for Mose at the Cacao Dance event that I also helped produce via Boulder Ecstatic Dance! 

It was a sold out show with over 350 people, a beautiful & intentional moment drinking Cacao facilitated by Bruna Bortolato right after my set, and vocal accompaniment from Matia Kalli during the Cacao, Mose's set, and to close out. 

During my set, I was joined by Nizhóní with Ngoni & Cello, and I played a bamboo Peruvian flute while DJing. 

Hope you enjoy this set as much as I do 🌱

All proceeds from sales of Planet Earth will be donated to WWF (https://wwf.ca/) in celebration of Earth Week for climate justice. Co-Produced with @tonyquattro :).

Imagine Earth restored to her regal beauty - where stately trees brush the sky, and clouds rise like majestic peaks. The air vibrates with the songs of birds, creating symphony upon symphony.

This track is both a celebration and a warning. As we dance, we’re reminded: this isn’t just a backdrop — it’s our only home. The responsibility is ours. To care. To act. To restore Planet Earth.

Desert Dwellers - Gratitude Yoga Flow

SACRED RHYTHMS

Belisama (Visionary Shamanics Records)

This may be the first official Ecstatic Dance set Amani has posted; "these dances are so enjoyable for me to play, as they require a wide range of styles in order to take the dancers in a bell curve flow.  I really love weaving lots of styles into one set.  Last fall 2017 I recorded my sets from Maui Dance Church, Salt Lake City, and San Diego at Trilogy, but after reviewing them all I settled on this one from Boulder on Feb 6th which was part of a benefit event to help the wildfire victims. I will post the rest on the DD Patreon page though if you are looking for more."
