Before it was called "Ecstatic Dance" there was Dragonfly. His mixes are constantly taking dance floors to the ecstatic edge of terra incognita, a place defined by that familiar place of emotional depth, where it resides in the exhilaration of exploring music and movement. And at the same time, his sets - always unplanned, always a mystery - are a like a "trust fall", an experience where the dancefloor surrenders to a DJ whose love of the dancefloor is what comes first. Dragonfly's own initiation goes back to a metaphyshical and metaphorical rebirth in 1980, during the explosion of the punk and New Wave music scenes...and is true today, where the dancefloor is still a place he calls home.

All genres, tempos and cultures weave with deep bass, gossamer groove and beckoning beats for an inexplicable, exciting, soul-crafting session of empathogenic sound. Breathe deeply, go deep, dance hard.

PAST ECSTATIC DANCE APPEARANCES INCLUDE: Berlin, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Costa Rica, Jordan, Antwerp,  Portugal, New York (NY), Montreal (CDN), Oakland (CA), Nevada City (CA), San Francisco (CA), Portland (OR), San Diego (CA), Los Angeles (CA), Big Island (HI), Bend (OR), Eugene (OR), Ashland (OR), Palo Alto (CA), Sebastopol (CA), Sacramento (CA), Cambria (CA), Willits (CA), Global Eclipse Festival (OR), Lightning In A Bottle Festival(CA), Beloved Festival(OR), Burning Man Festival (CA) and many more...

About me:
I never plan sets. And I never will. One reason is that Ecstatic Dance is an adventurous dialogue between the dancers and the DJ. And just as the best conversations are not planned, but rather intimate explorations inspired by mutual respect, wonderment, curiosity, expression and mystery, I feel that the opposite is true for a planned set. It's a monologue. As a DJ whose first love is dancing, I am invested in the dance floor. And, to dance is to be vulnerable. To Never plan a DJ set also is vulnerability. To share in that place of raw unpredictability, is intimate connection. Dancers and DJs need each other to reside in that place in order to feel empathy , to stay connected. So, this approach to DJing may not work for everyone, but that's just me.... As it relates to preparing, that's an entirely different subject... in order for the dialogue to work as a place of connection, I have an unabridged encyclopedia of music dripping with sonic emotion and the rhetoric of rhythm. So being prepared means arriving at the decks with a broad range of taste in music, and an understanding of how dancers can become over saturated with tempo and tone. On a personal note, When it comes to music, well, that is where I am polyamorous...and under the covers is a veritable orgy of genres just waiting to make love to the sound system.

ECSTATIC DANCE

Alhambra - Track from the Taruna EP - Supreme Secrets

Alhambra

Expect the unexpected: Two hours & seven minutes of genre-hopping, tempo-morphing dance music. A slow build, followed by mid-tempo bump and groove gives way to driving tribal house , then collapses in to funk, twerk and eventually a grand, downtempo exhale

Designed and informed by the dancefloor, channeled by yours truly and mixed live, unplanned and uncharted on CDJs and with live percussive elements on my Roland Handsonic. Welcome to a journey of beat-huffing bass music, mystic glitch, electroswing, twerkhop, tribal house, Afrofunk,Balkan trap and dreamtempo!

Recorded at PDX Refuge, Jan 1st, 2014. Day of Intention with  Alex Grey and  Dragonfly, live music with https://soundcloud.com/peia-1

Ecstatic Dance // Nevada City, California // Feb 26, 2023 // BROTHA JAG

I had SO much fun DJing Boulder Ecstatic Dance last Sunday, I just had to bump this one to the top of my priority list of DJ sets to upload! 

It was WILD on the dancefloor, so I've titled this: GET WiLD! in BED. BED is our acronym for Boulder Ecstatic Dance which happens every Sunday night in Boulder, Colorado! The vibes there are so magical, you'll just have to come check it out sometime to experience it for yourself. 

This DJ set is a journey through genres, tempos, vibes and emotion. Listen to it whenever you want to re-awaken your wild heart! 

IF YOU WANT ME TO POST THE TRACK ID LIST, I'LL NEED TO SEE AT LEAST 10 COMMENTS AND REPOSTS ON HERE! 

Lots of originals, collabs and remixes in here, plus many tasty selections. I'm also playing live flute throughout the set, and was playing keyboard (only the flute made it into the recording!)

DRAGONFLY @ STILLDREAM - SUNDAY "DANCEHALL" BEACH SET

On Nov 6th, 2013 the world music community lost a prolific contributor and friend, Cheb i Sabbah. I had the pleasure of knowing him through DJing with him, as well as hiring him for several festivals...and of course listening and dancing to him for 20 years. This morning I spontaneously put this little mix together that includes many of the artists he worked with...thank you to my dear friend Gaudi ( https://soundcloud.com/gaudi) and his brief interview with Cheb I which became the intro to this mix.

May the music serve as the flame at his altar...

R.I.P. Cheb I Sabbah, Jai Ho!

"A transformational rave(n) "
 …also memorable was the raven who greeted my arrival to the cathedral-like redwood grove where columns of redwoods stretched voicelessly towards the heavens. This was the location for what evolved into a beautiful Saturday Autumnal Equinox ecstatic dance in the California redwoods, held just north of Willits.
It was beautifully symbolic that such a bird would be present:  Ravens are rich, powerful symbols that are significant across many cultures. And they frequently appear at moments of transition—death, rebirth, and endings that lead to beginnings. They are messengers of transformation - rather than doom.
In the culture of ecstatic dance, with its ethos of inspiring transformation and transmutation the raven in the redwoods was symbolically and powerfully present during this deep equinox dance. A transformation rave(n) if you will.... Live , Unplanned and In-the-Moment recording
Many thanks to the Willits crew and community, lead by Meredith and Taylor, and to Anthony Ward whose mystically magic flower arrangements and opening ceremony was the perfect portal to our dance.

DRAGONFLY - RAVEN IN THE REDWOODS: A TRANSFORMATIONAL EQUINOX ECSTATIC DANCE

LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE - FESTIVAL-STYLE ECSTATIC DANCE SET
Unlike most ecstatic dances this set reflects the open dancefloor and permeable container that comes with 20k beautiful and crazy people attending Lioghtning In A Bottle. As such, I adhered to what I would call a "traditional" approach by mixing up genres, vibes and tempos in order to keep the core dancers fully activated, regardless of their place in their flow... http://lightninginabottle.org

DRAGONFLY - ECSTATIC DANCE - LIGHTNING IN  A BOTTLE 2016

An awesome crew hosts a really high-vibin' get-down in a very sweet part of L.A. Lots of great juice bars, yoga studios, shops and hang outs...right near the beach, too. This set was was for their 2-year anniversary. What a great day!

Kühn. - Present

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!

RE-EDITED AND REMIXED FOR 2021: A very loose mix of Celtic and Scottish tunes remixed taken from my whiskey-spiked set (for the win: Tullamore Dew; 10-Year-Old Reserve) with Delhi to Dublin on St Patrick's Day - cheeky pipes and fiddles...kinda like an "Irish Spring" soap commercial meets house LOL!  What the hell... Don't take it too seriously, and chase it down with jeroboam of Guinness!

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.
