who is this artist? amazing. thank you for this set, so good 🤩

love the inclusion of African vibes (a bit of amapiano?)

This mix represents a potent journey of deep prayer for our dance community as well as the world at large. When I dive deep into a mix like this, I like to include music that I have received from artists who are friends or I've had the honor of collaborating with. It brings for me an even deeper heart resonance when I know that this work has connected us and we've exchanged inspiration. This set includes tracks from Mercan Dede, Shamans Dream, Scott Nice, Temple Step, Snow Raven, DRRTYWULVZ, Ra-Be 333, DJ Shub & others. Not to mention the additional inspiration I received from my dear brother, Max Fathom that informed this mix.

The opening track features Mercan Dede calling out to the long line of prophets of the Ages. The journey focuses on the music medicine of the Sufis, the indigenous medicine keepers of the Americas, the deep roots of our African ancestors as well as revolutionary bass, hip hop and rave culture throwbacks. It was the rave culture of the 90's when I first experienced what contemporary culture was capable of in achieving Unity on the dance floor.  The Sufi's and Native Americans as well as the African Drum Troupe from Mali that I toured with also showed me later on what is truly possible with the added layer of ceremonial intention. 

This mix is pure medicine and the state of grace that we all experienced on the dance floor together is my reason for doing all of this. I hope that this mix brings you release, empowerment, connection and joy. 

There’s something profoundly magical that happens when the bpm of the music synchs up with the dancers pulse rate. It usually occurs around 110-130bpm, where the music begins to carry the heartbeats of the entire collective of the dancefloor in sympathetic resonance. It’s miraculous when we reach this moment of ecstasy and it can be extended for an hour or more where the dancer completely loses awareness of time & space and any feeling of self consciousness. It’s known by the ancient Greeks as ekstasis - the state of being beside oneself or rapt out of oneself. 

From My heart

02 19 23 Kalani Ecstatic Dance

We are at a unique time in human history where the human race is waking up. We are realizing our true potential as vast and infinite spiritual beings - undergoing a transformative process of becoming who we truly are. Dissolving illusions of separateness and limiting belief structures, rebuilding our world view, our relationships, and our connection with Nature.
