This live* mix represents a treasure of old-to-nu-skool trans-Arabic motifs dropped in my set at Giza, Egypt, during the auspicious winter solstice gathering of 2012. 

It was recorded during the The Great Convergence, an amazing gathering held at the pyramids of Giza. The event was conceived by Tamer El-Shakhs and  produced by the excellent production team at The Do Lab, (thank you all!!) 

Many thanks to friends Jef Stott, Nominus, Drumspyder, Zeb SpyfromCairo Visini, Paula Peek Kraus, Said Mrad and Ganga Giri for the tracks they produced that made this cut….

*Performed on Two Pioneer CDJ 2000’s and 900 Nexus mixer…warts, clipping, truncations and all..”

Enjoy!

Music without a map: Showcasing travelogues from the global turntable...

Taste is trust.  DJing is trust. 
wHo: Hailing from the West Coast and serving sound as one of the most sought after Freestyle selectors in the Festival, Club and Ecstatic Dance scenes. A magic carpet ride of sound transports the dancefloor when Dragonfly throws down his full-spectrum, body-mind-soul transglobal sound experience. Think cutting-edge, polyrhythmic akashic bass meets primordial sound, elastic dreamtempo, tribal mayhem, and ecstatic bliss. 

wHAt: Each mix showcased is a unique snapshot or portrait of the dancefloor. No mixes are alike, no dancefloor is alike...and no set ever preplanned, recorded or mixed. This is raw.

hOw:  As a consummate crate-digger his days are spent down the rabbit-holes of sound, constantly discovering emerging talent and the hidden gems of sonic possibility. With an ear for the exotic and a background in movement arts, his approach is through the emotive keyhole of the psyche, while unlocking the heart of the dancefloor community. As a percussionist who’s adventured extensively throughout the near and far east, his mixes span all tempos and all genres of electronic dance music. His selections are drenched in global idioms, accented with tribal motifs, and interwoven with relentlessly intoxicating rhythm and groove.

"Remember, that we are all brothers and sisters. 
All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind. 
We all descend from the holistic NEUTRAL CONSCIOUSNESS that was always there. 
Before people lived and named it. Before the first seed sprouted."
ALLAH is a Universal Computer Who can
Convey easily His Energy to every Dimension - Who Spreads Himself Out - Who Disperses Himself Out and
Who can even concentrate that Tremendous Power of His even on a single Point.

TECHNOLOGY
(TEKNOLOJI, in Turkish)
1 - TEK = This First triangle symbolizes God ("Tanri" in Turkish) - Universes ("Evrenier" in Turkish) and
the Almighty ("Kadiri Mutlak" in Turkish). You are, at the moment, Consciousnesses who are
being Educated by the Dimensions possessing the Reflection Order of the first triangle. Vibrations
after this are quite different.
2 - NOL= This Second triangle is the reflection Focal Point of the Dimension called, (Let there Be, lt
was). (In Turkish, "OL dedi Oldu"). That is, it is the ("Divine Light's (Let there be) Command"
{in Turkish, "Nur'un OL Emri"}).
3 - OJI = This is the Reflection Focal Point of the Third triangle. However, there is no Entrance to this
Totality yet. ALLAH had come into existence from this Dimension as a Triple Power. Let Us
disclose this a little more: (O) - is the (O) Whom You Know. (J) - Is the Unknown Power. (i) is the Concealed Power Potential within the Human Being ("insan" in Turkish) which Your Consciousness Totalities can not attain. Thus, ALLAH is a Powerful Totality of this triple Unity.

-Mystical experiences are an aspect of Islam. In Sufism, the mystical form of the religion, the focus is on achieving a direct, first-hand experience of God. This is known as dhawq or “tasting”. Tariqah (which translates as “path”) is a school of Sufism where adherents follow mystical teachings and practices in order to seek Haqiqa (“ultimate truth”). Dhawq and tariqah can involve a kind of spiritual ecstasy, a state of intoxication that occurs when the self is annihilated. This self-annihilation is known as fana) in Sufism. It means to die before one dies and entails the intimate realisation of God’s unity with the universe and the individual self. In psychedelic parlance, this would be referred to as ego death.
