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

(L)et's 
(S)tart
(D)ancing: 
I got on my bike today and made a spontaneous mix honoring of Albert Hofmann's  magnificent moment in history, 80 years ago.
This global psychedelicatessen of elevating, knotty, percolating, pulsing and squidgy bassliness is woven with a smorgasbord of flavor. Low-end basscapades, traditional horn lines and global soundplay all meet up with  the skank and stutter of dub reggae vibes for a mesmerizing entanglement with psychedelic sound design.

Deep Beat Diving

The contact dancer and writer Cheryl Pallant said “Let your body call you back into yourself, into your most deeply embodied self.  Land, dive, soar.  Find the crumbs that lead back home.”  This week’s dance is an invitation to find your way back to your center….to that place where the movement & music lead you into fully inhabiting your body.  May presence, allowance, acceptance, awareness, and breath help bring you home to you.

Pasajero

My recorded set, live from Chosewood Ballroom with Ecstatic Dance Atlanta on a crisp January day in 2020. 

Before the dance started, I had the opportunity to facilitate the opening circle where I asked dancers to envision an intention for what they see being cultivated during this dance - and throughout, giving their bodies the permission to truly inhabit those intentions to the fullest capacity. 

May this embodied journey serve in all the ways you require.

Thank you for listening & dancing 🙏🏾⚡️

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.

Past festival appearances include. Lightning In A Bottle,Symbiosis Gathering, Envision festival, Joshua Tree Music Festival, Hogfarm Hideaway, Enchanted Forest Festival, Lucidity Festival,Wanderlust Festival, Beloved Festival, Northern Nights, Stilldream Festival,Eclipse Festival (Australia),Great Convergence (Egypt), Envision Festival (Costa Rica), Shambhala Festival (Canada),Manifest, June Jam, Power to the Peaceful, Peace Village, Burning Man, Raindance, Earthdance, Harmony Festival, Awaken,OMIES Fest, Mystic Garden Gathering, Mystic Island Festival, Foreverland,
