thank you for all the dancefloor love & soul connections that were a huge part of my life in the past few months. vibing through mexico and berlin, i am so grateful to share my musical journey with such beautiful humans <3

here is the next chapter of the tale, inspired by an unexpected corona quarantine in which all the shadows and emotions surfaced... as my favorite quote goes:

"someone i loved once gave me a box full of darkness, it took me years to realise that this too was a gift" - mary oliver

with love, 
iris

OBSCURA

Love is a vibration <3

My new set from @beateuwe is now up. What a magical, beautiful and healing night for the heart that was... 

What a pleasure to open the floor for the lovely @l0ttal0ve @riyoon @ninze and @pi_cao - one of those nights where I should have left early but just couldnt stop dancing 😆

This set is one of my favorites so far as the sounds are really a true reflection of my inner world. I also hoped to honor female artists through the beginning of the set. Thank you to everyone who lit up the dancefloor with their smiles and vibes, it has left me feeling so full of happiness and gratitude 💓

✧ JOURNEY OF THE HEART ✧ Beate Barfuß 2022

It is always a pleasure to play at the magical Beate Uwe... 

Last Saturday I weaved  a smooth and seductive journey, inspired by the simple life and being in deep connection with the feminine.

From my heart to yours, I hope you receive this transmission with love <3

THE DEEP CONTROL presents ...

Iris Anahata (Germany)

"Layers : Delving into a time of introspection and self-reflection, this is a musical exploration of the layers beneath the light, where the shadows of the soul lie. Through these shadows, may we learn to love all the parts of us that are broken, until we are able to rise into love once again."

Iris Anahata is a Malaysian-born DJ based in Berlin. Throughout her life, dance and music has been a way to release and transmute emotions, and provided a window to understanding and integrating the body with the heart. Weaving sonic journeys by transmuting the dualities of dark and light, her sets are all uniquely crafted with a touch of ethereal vocals and heavy basslines. She lights up the dancefloor with sounds that range from downtempo to melodic and progressive techno, and wishes to use music as a way to unite and heal our collective.

Iris Anahata - The Deep Control Podcast #243

As the clouds darkened and a storm began, the Iemanja stage re-opened for the magic of Sunday evening to unfold. The beautiful pink room was suddenly full of people seeking shelter and warmth, curled up in corners cuddling, laughing and loving. 

This is a special collaboration with a new friend, Celad, who accompanied the set with live ukelele and djembe. We crossed paths a day before this show and magic was made as the the dreamy, feminine sounds were complemented with his earthly, masculine essence. 

This is our musical reflection of the sweetness and gentleness of the beings and love that was held in @hedone-world. Thank you for all those who were a part of it, and thank you for tuning in.

Club Mood Vibes Podcast #469 ─ Iris Anahata

Oof, what a night that was! 

I hope that you enjoy this musical reflection that was played at Kit Kat on the 24/11/23. 

Thank you to all the dancers of the heaving dancefloor that created a space for the music to flow through me.

ELEVATE /  MYSTIC ROSE at KIT KAT CLUB

This set was weaved at Be Skin Bacchanalia, a beautiful event celebrating body positivity, connection and sensuality.


Sharing vulnerability through singing has always been a wish and a fear, and  this is was a profound first step in expressing my inner voice. 

Thank you for all the feedback and support from the very sexy beings on the dancefloor. Sharing space with all of you in Berlin's dark winter was SO nourishing for the soul and a reminder of how truly special our community is.

In a time of darkness, now is the time to share our magic and light ❤

the invitation was to 'play a sensual set'
& so here it goes...

despite battling a really intense illness through the Burn, my heart was warmed by the magic that flourished during those two hours.

thank you to the curious souls who filled the tent with warmth, movement and deep appreciation for the music.

& to the crew at the motherf*cking queens for the nourishing space.

much love ♡

This slow, deep and psychedelic journey was weaved on the Capricorn new moon as a dedication to Mother Earth. As the world continues to elevate in chaos, destruction, and uncertainty, may we continue to collectively unite and heal  through our connection with Her, through dance, music, and a remembrance of all the times of connection as our bare feet stomped the grounds that shaped our transformation.

arkana teaser 18.04.25  / komitee munich

although the sound quality isn’t quite perfect due to a glitch in the recording,
capturing this moment again just feels impossible…
(truth be told, i don't seem to have much luck with the recordings of my uptempo sets...)

so I’m sharing it as it is, in all its raw energy.

it was truly something special to express through this sound,
weaving the oriental influences of my roots into groovy, driving techno.

endless thanks to @omar-al-naeb for the invite,
and to the dancers and producers who gave this music its heartbeat ♡

the next 2.5 hours will be up very soon ;)

Iris Anahata ♡ Mühle Floor / Mit Dir Festival 2025

It was the full moon day of August, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. After some good rains during the last few weeks (ending a long dry spell), the forest was fresh and green once again, and summer flowers were blooming everywhere. There were even some penny buns popping up at the foot of some trees.
Normally, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the witch apprentice) always fly to a witch coven on all full moon days. But strangely, they didn’t feel any urge to fly on that sunny day. It was clearly a sign that mother earth wanted the witches to celebrate the full moon in their home forest. The girls decided to visit Lalita, the nymph who is protecting the little oak tree which is destined to become the future mother tree of the forest. 
The witches always love to listen to the stories of Lalita’s epic 3-year journey from the rainforest of the Malay peninsula all the way to this forest in Flanders. This time she told many stories about her long odyssey through the Arabian desert, wandering from oasis to oasis and especially savoring the stunning starry skies every night. 
The witches were so spellbound by Lalita’s stories, that they hadn’t noticed that the sun was already going down. It was high time for their evening bath in the nymph’s pond, which was dug by the clan of badgers who live in a circular sett underneath the future mother tree. As tree nymphs never go further than 300 steps away from the tree they are protecting, the forest animals have done their best to make Lalita’s life as comfortable as possible.
The girls slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and waded into the cool water. It is always a lovely sight to see Falke’s shiny blond hair, Hekske’s long brown hair and Lalita’s raven black hair just above the mirror-like water surface, before dipping under water.
When they resurfaced a few minutes later, Falke spotted the rising moon over the Southeastern horizon. The girls were instantly spellbound, as the silver white moon was brighter and clearer than ever. It made Lalita think back to the sultry starry nights in the middle of the Arabian deserts. 
The girls dipped under water again and lazily floated around, until they noticed that the moon was hovering above their heads. The soft light was reflecting in Falke’s blue, Hekske’s green and Lalita’s dark brown eyes. The moon descended even further, until she was hanging just one foot above the water surface, right in the middle of the 3 girls. They had never seen the moon from this close, and it felt as if they were floating in space, surrounded by the moon, the planets and the milky way. They lost all sense of space and time and just felt the strong and loving energy of the universe. The girls were so mesmerized that it was impossible to tell whether this precious moment lasted for minutes or hours.
After what seemed like an eternity, the girls slowly returned to their senses and felt the water touching their skin again. When they opened their eyes, they saw they were back in the nymph’s pond. And the moon? She was back in the sky again, shining brightly with a soft silver-white light and getting ready for a new cycle …

take a breath
time to rest & reflect
as the age of Aquarius
brings another year forward
slow down ... soften ...
re-connect to the essence of the soul
and let your body take control
