GORANJI 2022

GORANJI ECSTATIC DANCES WORLDWIDE

Grounding Earth Flow

When you put effort and it's not seen, but felt.
A wild blend of genres in a unique sculpture to set free what wanted to be set free...

romantic progression II (bali ecstatic dance set)

🌎 Playing in European summer 🌞  comes with different challenges than in deserts or on a tropical island. The weather humbles you an requires patience and much more prayer. Climate changes doesn't always do the job to heat the scene up, so you have to do the job plus trust and surrender. Minutes before the outdoor dance clouds looked angry and stubborn. But with the first dancers arriving clouds broke open and gave light and warmth to the place & hearts. Thats what trust and prayer may effect. It became a great dance that honored the set topic of "I werr narrisch", the Austrian expression for I go crazy, borrowed from a famous soccer commentator. Everything is connected, isn't it :P Enjoy! 😊

goranji - embracing ivar narrish (ecstatic dance austria st pölten)

🎨 Creative souls aren’t just simply sharing their tastes, their gifts. They make the unseen visible, the unbespoken spoken, the frozen phenomena molten, and he stoned feelings graspable.

📣  Underlying is the entanglement of their perception, feeling and anticipation of what will be shaking the collective soon. Often condemned as a heretic, rarely seen as a seismograph, they conquer a ground and shed an x-ray view of what is a blurry cloud to the masses. Ince they formulate, channel, shape and carve the observed, a smooth or harsh awakening may arise. 

🌳 So in many cases, the creative soul anticipates what will emerge with no mercy anyway. I’ve been part of such a collective process, too shy to speak out about what I felt, too hesitant to scream. It is condensed in this set, whose beginning was a rough birth of wayfinding. Till I decided to remember my roots, close my eyes to the seen and open them to my inside. And then, it started to flow and affected the collective. The flaying could take place. 

♥️ Mine. Theirs. Maybe yours now. Enjoy!

GORANJI – COLLECTIVE FLAYING (ecstatic dance writers village Austria, 22.07.16)

♥️ Some weeks ago I was kindly asked to join the 1st Ecstatic Dance Festival of Poland. Due to reasons I hesitated, even resigned, then was asked again and said: "Let's do it!" Trust pays off. 
🌳 This event was such and fusion of nature, great ambition, awesome artists and beautiful people. For four days I forgot about other places and I just was. Enticed. Present. Happy. Fulfilled. 
😊 Such sharing and sooting time. The world dance tribe is growing clan by clan. 
Thanks to everyone and especially you!

Thanks for having me, beautiful crew and joiners!

MOVING CLOSER (ECSTATIC DANCE AT BERLIN CONSCIOUS DANCE FESTIVAL 2022)

♥️ Imagine a Sunday morning ... you took over for a dear Ecstatic Dance DJane and fellow human that obviously believes in you and your skills. She asked you two days before to step in for her. Your wake up after a long week, sleep depleted, your face crumpled like a dried apple, but you know there's no way back. You have just some hours to prepare. 
But you walk in your morning sun, ☀️ signs of bliss are in the air, your sound technicians try sth new, and the whole crew realizes the sound is like sunbeams drilling gently into your heart with every sonic expression, the bass is like a rain of heavy feathers and massaging you thorax profoundly.
 
And then the people arrive, get warmed up perfectly by a great body boiler as @irene, and you find your dough well prepared to 🔥 bake the bread  🥖  till it jumps in the oven. 

Dear people, I have played for six years, since 3, with absolute dedication and a lack of resistance. But this dance rewarded me for all the waiting, doubt, and disinvesting in overrated tracks and times spend in excessive amounts.
 
 The dance floor was boiling, the eye contact I had was full of heartwarming and approval, and the smell of sweat was the most minor proof that we do sth pretty right here. When you as a DJ really become one, when you put on a tune, you love, and you almost grow the impression they there on the planks would make even more enormous sacrifices for it! RESPECT! GRATITUDE! JOY! THANKS TO ALL DANCERS! 

I will continue this journey, no matter what! 🤘


Thanks to all the great artist /

RED PILL BREAKFAST (Ecstatic Dance BERLIN 2022-10-16)

Again and again, the journey 🚀of carving a set surprises me. The mix evolves daily like a barometer of my contemporary time and space 🪐. I take a week, sometimes two, and decide on a particular topic or energy ⚡️ to pave the road for the tracks to be assembled. And then things flow, stumble, return, stay on the roadside and invite other tunes to be added.  🏜Landscape, climate and people I meet or avoid alter this process. And then comes the moment to surrender, where I know I am not doing the mix 🧪. 
The mix is doing me; I am just the catalyser, the executing channel. Over and over again, there appears to be a mythical connection between the human brain 🧠, music 🎶 and the universe itself, as if you juggle sonic structures and the stars reply enigmatically, yet not overlookable anymore.

THE DESERT OF DESIRES – Ecstatic Dance Dahab

Transitions are abundant in our life but sometimes there can be times where they are more abundant or challenging. The invitation is to bring to mind something you are in transition with and use the dance to move your body, mind and spirit through the process!

Transitioning In and Through - Ministry Of Movement Ecstatic Dance Boulder  1-31-24

A journey of sound from crunchy to sweet with all the vibes in betwee.

Ecstatic Mandala AVL 3 - 6-24 - Ecstatic Dance

may we remember those that brought us here
those that came before 
that paved the way
with trauma and love
for us to walk the path
to dance the dance

This set was played on the anniversary of my momma Kim's death, oh life and the weavings. New life weaving with old memories, dancing through the grief and joy.

+++ What is this DJ playing? +++

The DJ: "I am pretty worldly, literally. Theres so many emotions you can feel where I come from, but I find them in this music from around the globe and they delight me. Then I spend more than a decade in Berlin, listening to English Break Music, had a fling with latin stuff and adore experimental rhythms and sounds and allow angels voices to kick ass. Got it?"

https://www.instagram.com/goranji.dj/

When I made extensively or let's say ecstatic use of music for workshops on conscious sexuality, I felt one-day certain sounds resonate strongly with certain sensations and physical activations. 

Putting even more focus on music became the next step to apply music to support exercises on self and body awareness as well as catalyze moments of hold or letting go. Then Ecstatic Dance arose at the horizon, and I got even happier.

I spread my musical focus to music from sounds from all over the world with a focus on soul, nucumbia, dance, afrolectro/afrotronics, oriental, african tribal as well as the fusion of traditional ethnic music and new musical concepts. 

To sum up what I love so much about it: moving people. Inside as well as outside.
