AMANI - Ecstatic Dance Set for Rhythm Sanctuary (7/21)

I created this set for my monthly guest DJ appearance on Holotropic Happy Hour in January 2022, a former weekly A/V show I co-produced on Bluetech's Twitch channel. 

Just as I was preparing to host the broadcast, I learned of the passing of a dear friend, Matthew Parkey, gone too soon. The emotion of the music took on a different tone for me as I listened during the broadcast, tears falling, recalling our sweet friendship, and regarding the HUGE impact Matt had on the entire SoCal underground desert gathering community. His capacity for love and light touched so many souls. And so I heartily dedicate this mix to him - I will always love you, Matt.

DJ Maggie carefully curates the best of downtempo electronic into lush, playful and deeply replenishing sets that invite listeners on shimmering audio odysseys. Whether leading flights to the depth of the heart or the outer dimensions of the cosmos, Maggie pilots music masterfully as a multi-dimensional tool—for joy enhancement, energy boosting, community building, a safe space for retreat, a salve for helping heal pain, or a focus-enhancing medium to optimize creativity or productivity.

Evolving her own brand of intuitive sound at the legendary Southern California desert gatherings of the groundbreaking Moontribe Collective and other conscious parties and festivals, Maggie soon established a reputation for her heart-expanding sonic rides. This eventually propelled her into the path of her current collaborations with esteemed downtempo artist and producer, Bluetech (Evan Bartholomew) and their labels Behind the Sky and  Over the Moon. Her first compilation, a 2xLP entitled ‘Matters of the Heart,’ was released in June 2021 on Behind The Sky, and she began releasing through Over the Moon in October 2021.

*~A personal note from me to you~*

People tell me amazing stories about how the music has touched them, and for that I'm eternally grateful. It's the main reason I keep doing this - human connection through the universal language of music.

You'll find mixes here to stream or download that are comprised of some of my favorite downtempo tracks, ever. Some are super-mellow and ready to accompany your bedtime/meditation/ snuggle session, while others might be happy to ride along on your next road trip. I post a tracklist on every mix. For mixes that are grouped together by energy level or theme, check out my playlists.

See links below for other places to find me. I'm also a digital artist (all mix graphics are made by me) and nature photographer, for example...or message me for more info, or to share your thoughts :)
