Freya Moøn gives flight to the YOU•niverse imaginal realms, 
Bridging the formless into form
Nurturing a radiantly held container into Metamorphosis,
Harmonizing elemental and galactic vibrations of Gaia,
Spiraling up into the Cosmos,  entering a timeline of Infinite Love, 
Where the Beloved brings mythos and movement
Catalyzing co-creation and co-existence
For our will to rewild and unearth
Our ancestral bones in the name of Evolution,
a Symbiosis of Fractalizing Eternal Essence
into the Divine DNA upgrade incarnating,
expanding and rising in the God-Goddess Mystery...

We can‘t always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it !!!

DJ & owner of Arillas Soundgarden on the beautiful island of Corfu in Greece. Host of the year-round weekly Ecstatic Dance on Sunday mornings since 01/2023.

For me, ecstatic dance is art, culture, joy and healing. As a DJ and dancer, it allows you to free yourself from things that you are unconsciously stuck in… and you can do that just by going through your own automatically triggered processes through the music and the energy in the field of all the dancers present.

In the 80s/90s I was a successful vinyl DJ and club owner (Unterhaus Karlsruhe). I was a resident DJ in Frankfurt (Dorian Gray), Stuttgart (ZAP), Pforzheim (Skandal, Café Cairo) and many more. I also had DJ bookings in Ibiza (Pasha, Amnesia), Zürich (Rohstofflager, Oxa, Streetparade), Berlin (Planet, UFO, Loveparade) and many more. 

My personal highlight was to play together a „back-to-back“ with the legendary „Grandmaster Flash“ at a B-Boy battle in 1997.

About my DJ name „SpaceDeer“:

The deer as a shamanic power animal represents a clear, heart-centered presence in the space. It embodies gentle alertness: being fully present, sensing subtly, without the need to control. This quality is central in „SpaceDeer‘s“  role as an Ecstatic Dance DJ and dancer - it keeps the dance floor safe, open, and alive.

The cyclical nature of the antlers mirrors the arc of a set: a conscious opening, an intense unfolding, and a clear, calm landing. Nothing is held onto; everything is allowed to transform. The deer leads through embodied presence rather than action, inviting authentic expression without pressure or performance.

The space in the DJ name „SpaceDeer“ refers to the field that is opened and held through music. It is the invisible container in which dancers can arrive, let go, explore, and return. Space means awareness, timing, and restraint - knowing when to guide, when to stay out of the way, and when silence or simplicity carries more power than intensity.

Together, „SpaceDeer“ stands for holding a clear, grounded space with the sensitivity, dignity, and heart of the deer - creating depth, trust, and transformation without forcing anything.

About Ecstatic Dance:

Ecstatic Dance is a danced meditation that frees people from things they're stuck in. As DJs we start with longer intros without beats and slowly transform the energy to one or two peeks to get the dancers really ecstatic... we also try to go through different energies - sadness, anger, happieness, freedom, peace … and a variety of genres and extraordinaire/crazy tracks are welcome. But always organic electronic dance music is a base of the sets. At the end there is also a longer phase with slow beats or just sounds/noises to bring the dancers to the floor and guide them to lie still on the floor for 5-10 minutes... to integrate their inner processes that have unfolded during the dance.

Main rules of ecstatic dance:

- no talking during the dance
- be sober (no alcohol or drugs)
- dance barefoot
- no judgement of your own or others movements/behaviours
- contact dance is welcome, but only in respect of your own - and of the others boarders.

About Soundgarden:

Soundgarden is a magical place in the olive groves overlooking the Ionian Sea, nestled in the lush hills above the lively seaside village of Arillas, popular with alternative international tourism. A well-equipped, year-round venue and retreat was created by man and nature together to serve as a high-vibrational field to connect, retreat, celebrate, move, listen, dance and transform.
With its magical outdoor areas (Under the Flower, The Olive Stage, Outdoor Kitchen, Olive Grove Dancefloor) and indoor areas (The Tree Temple) and a high-end sound system, Arillas-Soundgarden offers ideal conditions to experience unforgettable moments.

We connect and share the DJ sets from live Ecstatic Dance journeys around the world!

All the sets here have been created/recorded at an Ecstatic Dance production with live dancers. Our productions are intentional gatherings, follow an energetic journey-arch, have a minimum time-length or one hour and incorporate professionally curated and mixed global electronic sounds and tracks to uplift the spirit and inspire free-form dancing.

We are an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to inclusivity, and are currently ~100 regular events internationally and growing. Enjoy!

P.S. If you are a DJ or producer posting a live-recorded set and you want a repost, please shoot us a message.

P.S.S. If you feel called to support this free (and freeing!) initiative, no tip is too small via our Venmo. Love you!
