Ecstatic Dance Gathering - Opening Ecstatic - 17/07/25 - DJ Soph

As part of my European tour, i stopped at Lausanne in Switzerland. 

The night before the gig, i was hanging out with Joel, the organizer of the ecstatic dance, and going over his vinyl collection. He suggested me to pull records by chance. One of those records was the soundtrack of the movie Mishima, by Philip Glass, a neo-classical composer i know and play a lot. The first track was just ok but the 2nd track was hypnotizing. We listened to it ove and over again.
So, naturally, i bought it and played at the ecstatic dance journey, alongside African, Brazilian, Afro-latin, Jazz, Trip-Hop, Tribal, and many other genres and styles.


Thank you Joel for having me and inspiring me to discover new music.

THE CALL OF THE AYAHUASCA

HUACHUMA MUSIC - THE CALL OF THE AYAHUASCA

Josty’s career got under way in the late 1980s with the discovery of FM radio. He spent his evenings listening to the radio and recording his favourite pieces (ranging from Italo disco to New Wave) on cassettes. His brother’s new Philips hi-fi boasted a double-deck cassette player, so he could record his favourite pieces one after the other without a break.
First mixes!

In 1992, his musical dream came true, as he was propelled to the DJ spot at legendary Lausanne club La Dolce Vita. He surfed acid jazz and funk, introducing the public to original pieces sampled with rap.

Gradually, he drifted towards mixing techniques with an increasingly electronic beat. In 2000, he was scheduled at legendary clubs such as Le MAD and D! Club in Lausanne, where he spun Drum & Bass and Intelligent Jungle sounds.
	
Ever sniffing out new sounds, he developed a personal, more minimalist style with German influences.

In 2002, Josty founded the “Aquaplaning” collective, teaming up with others who were busy on the electronic scene. Stunning venues, the sheer creative flair of the visual projections and the originality of their flyers soon made “Aquaplaning” nights highly popular in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Internationally-famous DJ often came along including Plastique de Rêve (DFA, Turbo), DJ Crowdpleaser (Mental Groove, Deeply Rooted House) and DJ Lemercier.

In early 2007, Josty and his collective gained a residency at an up-coming club, La Ruche. On top of acting as DJ, he also took on the role of promoter.
Losoul (Playhouse), DJ ATA (Playhouse, Robert Johnson), ND_Baumecker (Freundinnen, Berghain), DJ Steffi (Klaxon, Panoramabar), Vera (Oslo Records), Marcus Worgull, (Innervision, Sonar Kollektiv), Strobocop (Karaoke Kalk Pets) and Lysander (Mental Groove, Deeply Rooted House) were among the star DJs doing stints at La Ruche on “Aquaplaning” nights.
	
Since 2008, Josty has been invited regularly as DJ to events such as Cinéma Tous Ecrans (the Geneva International Film Festival), 360° Fever gay nights and Tutti Frutti nights.

His current trend has a solid electro-house and deep-house base with influences from Disco, Nu-Disco and 80s New Wave. Josty rings subtle changes in styles yet always remains true to the groove. His energetic, often offbeat performances make him a powerhouse DJ highly popular on the dance floor.

Gradually, josty withdrew from the nightlife world and embarked on a more spiritual and conscious voice. 
After practicing free Dance for a few years, josty found his perfect voice bringing together the 2 worlds, DJ culture and dance in consciousness. 
He launched his Ecstatic Dance in 2017 in small venues. Through his perseverance, this beautiful community of dancers quickly grew to offer 2 dance sessions per month.  Lately, he opened these meetings in Valais, to make this beautiful practice known in French-part of Switzerland. 

Keep on dancing!
