SPASIBA: Primal Jungle Eclipse House Party (Live 10.28.23)

As she crossed the threshold into the mystical wood, chasing a glimmer into the night, the forest began to sway and twist with the rhythm of her footsteps. A skip, a hop, a gallop... twisting, winding, the canopy swallowed her into the deep, her breath entwining with the heartbeat of the wilderness...

Recorded LIVE at Youtopia! ~ Gratitude to Centaur, Rachel and all for a beautiful evening of connection, dance and celebration.

Recorded LIVE at Tweefontaine Farm in collaboration with Quiet Hours NY. 

Equinox - the meeting point of light and shadow
Our bare feet tracing paths our ancestors laid
For us to remember, to rejoice, to reconnect, to respect
We greet the setting sun with our liberated bodies
Swaying to and fro with the tall grass as we braid ourselves

Thank you to all the beautiful dancers and stewards of this land. Thank you to all the musicians for your devotion and expressions of love. Thank you to our bodies, thank you to our dance. Thank you. Thank you. SPASIBA. I love you.

SPASIBA (spa-sí-ba) blessing in Belarusian: meaning “thank you”. 

SPASIBA (Katya Stepanov) is a Belarusian-Jewish-American DJ, artist and entrepreneur based in Brooklyn. 

SPASIBA spins a world of sound. Born in Minsk and raised in the concrete jungles of NYC, SPASIBA’s sound is a syncretic fusion of European melodies and Latin beats. Katya’s sets are a journey. She braids together Afro, Latin & European house, techno, D&B, jungle rhythm, disco, trance, and driving melodic EDM with a splash of mysticism and soul. 

SPASIBA got her start as a champion Latin Ballroom dancer, received her BFA at CMU’s School of Drama, and is committed to co-creating dance floors where notions of self are shed at the door and standing in place becomes physically impossible. She creates resonance through the power of breath, bass, sweat, and sonic alchemy.
