Ecstatic sets (approved x10 <3)

It's always nice to watch people get involved in new adventures. How curiosity prevails, how untrodden paths are trodden and too high peaks are climbed. When new horizons open up and the realization grows: 
Always trust in yourself and you are on the safe side!

No matter if dance floor or chill out, no matter if afterhour or candlelight dinner. 
Music is always good as long as you transport it well. 
Thanks for the new knowledge.

Voilá, here then is the set that I loved playing. And it really felt like "playing", the interaction with the dancers, the collaboration with the crew, and the wavy movement of the Odessa ship on the Amsterdam waves brought me a lot of joy. I hope you'll enjoy this one, too!

Befriending The Waves

XYZ and When We Dip present the Selectors series, where we give our family of producers an opportunity to display their prowess behind the decks. Expect unreleased material from across the label collective, as well as classic gems and heady grooves from some of the undergrounds finest heads.

This week, it's a delight for us to host Berlin's HOVR! In this hour-long set, he plays classics from the XYZ catalog such as the Nacho Verala and Cruz Vittor remix of SDK's 'What They Want', tunes from the likes of Rodriguez Jr. and Tim Engelhardt as well as his very own 'Double Time Remix' of Conté's 'Tondo' which is out now on TOR. Enjoy!

1. Wie kommt dein Künstlername zustande ?
Ich wurde in einer Zeit auf der Arbeit immer mit einem Tony Williams verwechselt. Ich selbst heisse ja Thomas Williams. Als ich dann fälschlicherweise zum hundersten mal ein Mail oder einen Anruf erhielt der für Tony bestimmt war, nannten mich alle Arbeitskollegen plötzlich Tony. Dies war die Zeit, denke so 2009 als ich mein SC Profil anlegte. Darum wurde dies auch mein SC Name. Damals dachte ich aber nie, dass ich mal unter diesen Namen auflegen werde.
2. Seit wann legst du auf ? 1985
3. Lieblingsclub ? Ich liebe kleine, unprätentiöse Clubs. Grosse angeberische Clubs oder Clubbetreiber können mir gestohlen bleiben. I really mean it.
4. Lieblingszeit bei Auflegen ? 2400 bis 0200
5. Lieblingsfarbe ? Blau
6. Lieblingsessen ? Rösti im Restaurant Eichhörnli, Zürich
7. Lieblingsplaneten ? Erde
8. Bestes Erlebnis beim Auflagen ? Tränen in den Augen der Tänzerinnen/Tänzer
9. Schlechtestes Erlebnis beim Auflegen ? Tränen in den Augen der Tänzerinnen/Tänzer

PLANET DISKO I SPACECAST #6 I AKA-TONY

A whole variety of animals manifesting in this set: 7 of them appear in the titles of the selected tracks: 1 jaguar (El Jaguar Caza by Da Iguana), 3 birds (Pájaro by Eva de Marce), 2 snakes (by Lum, and Eddie Thoneick) and 1 pigeon (by Matanza).

Other than that, this set is recorded one year after a young woman's dream about sharing (part of) her soul through music started manifesting itself. And therefore, I created it to celebrate that our dreams come to life if only we stay closely enough connected to them!

KUSUF #34 Paboona -  Bonfire whispers

For this Edition of Zephyrcast we have the privilege of having MiAs from Berlin Germany, resident Dj of katerblau and a dear family member!!! Enjoy!!

Zephyrcast 002 MiAs

A set of very defined waves - in an ecstatic dance sense, and in a literal one. I feel very held, nourished and inspired by nature, and that comes back in the choice of music of this set. You will hear birds and other animals, and a lot of water. During the dance, I love to connect the dancers to their water element...it can bring sensitivity and emotion, humbleness for the bigger thing, playfulness and joy. And water also always brings flow. And life. And connection to what lives inside of us: the ability to create. 

Deya Dova sings this beautifully. Some songs from her, from Ancestral Elephants, Skysia and many other talented musicians come back in this set. I hope it connects you to that spark of creation and creativity inside of you!

Creation is Inside

This one is about what makes us beat, not only because of the beat-heavy tracks you'll find in here, but especially also because of the ones that have less beat but therefore more soul....

What if we translate this into our lives, and take away some of the rhythmic, structured and intense moments and replace them with SILENCE. What will we find? Will we hear our heart beat in the silence? If so, what does it beat for?

My own heart was beating happily while sharing this set with the beautifully moveable dance community. Thank you dancers!!

And thank you, artists! I played many, of which Symblico, Deya Dova, L.A.X, Sage 808, Dub Sutra, Claire Michelle <3

Friday Ecstatic Dance @ Odessa 19-07-24

GRACIAS DE TODO MI SER A TODO TU SER Y A LA CONEXION ARTISTICA CREATIVA!!!

Enjoy the music and listen to the message of this beautiful artists.

TOTALÜNAM

On this platform to share the sets I create for *ecstatic dances*. Other than the music, I wish to share a few words on the meaning *ecstatic dance* has to me, not as a DJ, but as humble human being :)

*Ecstatic dance* to me has been a gentle yet powerful tool to come closer to myself. By going onto a dance journey, during which one remains very conscious (no talking, no use of mind-altering substances, and no shoes), one comes much closer to oneself. To me, it has been a great gift to be in that space...in which I could explore undiscovered aspects of myself. There can be so much power and movement in the body, so much stillness in the mind, and so much joy, sadness, and other emotion in the heart. And it is beautiful that all of that is welcome on the dancefloor. And if none of it happens, that is welcome, too. Each journey has its own nature, is unique, is teaching us about the impermanence of life. 

I am very grateful for *ecstatic dance* to exist, grateful for the hundreds of dances that I was able to experience myself, and grateful that I get to accompany others in their journey!

Much love, 
Annika, Annica, Anica, Anicca (from the Pali language: impermanence)
