A slow deep house travelogue from the Badlands to The Bayou, from the Western twang of Wyoming's cowboy country to the pensively achy ballads of Southern blues. Live & unscripted  (recording is from my set at Green River Rendezvous Festival,  Wyoming). Tracklisting below:

DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED HOUSE & PRAIRIE BLUES

An incredible festival, an incredible dance: In the late night steamy heat of the Costa Rican rainforest we Invoked the sacred through sonic alchemy and surrendered to the divine.  This set was the culmination of everything I strive for on the ecstatic dance floor - in the amorphously porous container of a festival a multi genre, tempo-twisted offering of deep groove and penetrating cadence elastically stretched the potential for expression over 108 minutes of unpredictable storytelling as each dancer exploded into the hyper-nowness of being.

DRAGONFLY - SPIRIT CATCHER @ ENVISION FESTIVAL ECSTATIC JUNGLE DANCE 2023

(L)et's

(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.

ALBERT HOFMANN'S BIG DAY OUT - A PSYCHEDELIC GLOBAL DUB RIDE: AN 80TH ANNIVERSARY  MIX!

Elfhame

A Fig For A Kiss (Acoustic)

Narcissus is a popular social media influencer, known for his captivating online persona and striking looks. He’s obsessed with maintaining his image on social platforms, often neglecting real-world relationships in favor of his virtual adoration. Echo, a software engineer and follower, falls deeply in love with the image Narcissus portrays online. She tries to connect with him through DMs and comments, but her attempts are largely ignored or met with minimal interest.

Echo confronts Narcissus in person on BART, only to be dismissed as he is more focused on live-streaming the event. Heartbroken, Echo retreats into a Vision Pro where she can interact with an idealized version of Narcissus. As Narcissus's obsession with his digital image intensifies, his real-world presence diminishes, leading to a decline in his online popularity and a loss of his personal identity.

A cautionary tale about the perils of social media obsession and the importance of genuine human connections.

Trash Panda / TP076 / Echo + Narcissus [LIVE @ The Battery Decennium After Hours] / 2023-10-29

Intention: Dynamic Range 

Referring to the range of values that a system can capture, represent, or reproduce. Dynamic range can be applied to audio, photography, or dance. In audio, it pertains to the difference between the softest and loudest sounds a device can accurately handle. In photography, dynamic range refers to the range of tones, from the darkest to the brightest, that a camera can capture.

In the context of ecstatic dance, dynamic range refers to the spectrum of movements and expressions a dancer can embody using motion, energy, and emotional states with fluidly and curiosity. From subtle and gentle motions to bold and powerful movements, this dance aims to stretch the dancer to their limits, in order to create a more immersive and transformative dance experience. 

Played on 1/5/2024 @ Haw Creek Commons, Asheville, NC. Pls like, repost and comment to feed my algo-rhythm. Danke!

Today I crafted this pretty 'n gritty downtempo journey of blues and bass meets Folktronic Americana: Music meandering like the Mississippi and swampy like the bayou,  this grimy grip of downtempo speaks from a snatch of six-string, a chatter of banjos, lonesome  voices and pondering bass lines...

Mad props to all friends/artists on this mix. Please find them, listen to them, support them.

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.
