Shapeshifter

I've been dreaming of playing the 10am set at RhythmWave for YEARS. 
This year we made it happen. 

RW is has been bringing the vibration of 5Rhythms to the playa and holding the pulse of conscious dance in BRC for well over a decade. 

As a long time practitioner of 5Rhythms, stepping behind the decks on that glorious dance floor was an honor and career highlight. Flanked by long time colleagues and rhythm family, it was the first time I've ever cried during soundcheck. 

And the crowd that showed up?? Good god you were gorgeous, bursting booties thicccc with READY ~~~~ beauty contagious, pure raw yes. 

>>  T H A N K  Y O U  <<

Heads up ~~~> I'm building an army of somatically trained, nervous system educated, highly skilled DJs who use science to restore souls and make dance floors go BOOM.

Morning Ritual @ RhythmWave // Burning Man 2023

ENVISION FESTIVAL - ECSTATIC DANCE
(edit. Sat, 9 March: Renamed set "JUNGLE PRAYER ECSTATIC DANCE". Thank you everyone for the feedback. Your dance in the jungle was juicey.  The set was a collective somatic prayer, an embodiment and a devotion to the dance as medicine).

And like all my ecstatic dance mixes, this is a raw portrait of the dance floor before me,  each set experienced as a unrehearsed, spontaneous collaboration with the dancers. But on this particular night in the jungle I had and agenda: Peace, prayer, healing, tribe, remembrance, beauty, home.

Envision Festival was the apotheosis of what a dance floor can do, and how far it can go as collective cathartic release: It was a total hot, sweaty meltdown of a trust fall.  

p.s. DJing ecstatic dance at a festival generally requires getting down to business from the get-go. Unlike indoors, these dances compete with other stages, are a porous container, comers-and-goers, talking on the dancefloor....and this also makes it special and surprising for the uninitiated.

p.s. If there is a specific track you want to know about, pm me. It will tell me that you listened.

DRAGONFLY - JUNGLE PRAYER ECSTATIC DANCE - ENVISION 2024

Getting deep with new freshy fall flavours 🧡

♡ Deeply Madly ♡

The following fiction is true: Cowboy Noir, Spaghetti Westerns, Smokey Vocals, Country Blues, Lizard Kings, Storm Riders, Deep House and all...:

So "as the story goes":

"It was sometime back in 1962, when I found myself piloting a wheezing old Ford station wagon, feeling not just disoriented but positively misplaced on the dusty byways to Joshua Tree. The washboard roads shook my bones and rattled my teeth, so the accidental discovery of the sole watering hole in that barren wasteland was like stumbling upon an oasis. Despite its forlornly desiccated and saturnine exterior, the lonely backroads bar was an outpost that promised the desperate kind of salvation only dire needs can summon: Ritual libations. A stiff drink, and a moment's respite.

As I pushed through the nameless saloon’s swinging double doors, they creaked open to reveal an astonishing sight: Johnny Cash, Jim Morrison, Ennio Morricone, and Hope Sandoval, all seated together at the bar, deep in their cups. Behind the counter stood Barnett, the bartender, a sly vision of dry humor and endless spirits. They spotted my lonely silhouette and, with drunken enthusiasm, beckoned me to join their spirited symposium.
What followed was a cacophonous marathon of intemperance and debate, as we discoursed basslines and bourbon, whisky and women, UFOs and poetry, guitars and remixes, and…deep house.

The outcome of that wild and chewy night? This mix—a tribute to your culturally errant wanderings, a testament to “stepping into yes”, the uncharted paths we stumble upon…and the unexpected that ensues".

DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED SOUL - THE GOOD THE BAD & THE DUSTY

Just polished off and upload for you is my set from the Lapa Stage at Envision 2024.
Easing into the dancefloor a super vibey neo Cumbia Terror/Cactus & Cuervo Cuervo collab opens the set. Following is a deep organic house set of uniquely Afro/Latin rhythms threaded with the ecstatic timbre of village voices, seductive brass, percolating percussion and heartfelt melodies. The tempo cascades and falls throughout the mix...and ends with a parking spot in your melodic heart.  

I was thrilled to share billing with some of my fav house music artists,  Birds of Mind, Chaim, Henry Pope, Maz, Okuma, Rayon, Rey&Kjavik, Paralelle, Sadhu Sensi, Lorie…and many more EnJoy!!

Kai Altair is a songwriter, producer, and DJ with a deep reverence for movement, rhythm, and spiritual exploration. Her musical project is Aazav created with her partner Haj i Ji. Drawing inspiration from mystical traditions, nature's rhythms, and cosmic energies--Kai's original music & DJ sets are a journey into realms of worldly organica, sensual bass, big boom, and astral wubs. 

Aazav emerges from Kai & Haj's shared passion for music that animates both body and soul. Drawing from ancestral vocal traditions and deep woods sensibilities, their sound is a convergence of medicine melodies and global organica—a call to the central fire of remembered futures. Their debut album, "The Looking Stone," garnered support with stellar remixes from collaborators like David Starfire, Govinda, Kaminanda, Drumspyder, and Living Light.



Currently crafting a dancefloor-focused EP with gifted collaborators, they also host SYNERGY Ecstatic Dance & SANCTUM, an intentional temple space gathering at Soft Medicine in Sebastopol, California.

Join Aazav in the communal sacrament of rhythm and the natural rite of dance.
