Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases.

Ali Termos, A X L - Qalban (original mix) [SIGMA MID]

This mix represents a potent journey of deep prayer for our dance community as well as the world at large. When I dive deep into a mix like this, I like to include music that I have received from artists who are friends or I've had the honor of collaborating with. It brings for me an even deeper heart resonance when I know that this work has connected us and we've exchanged inspiration. This set includes tracks from Mercan Dede, Shamans Dream, Scott Nice, Temple Step, Snow Raven, DRRTYWULVZ, Ra-Be 333, DJ Shub & others. Not to mention the additional inspiration I received from my dear brother, Max Fathom that informed this mix.

The opening track features Mercan Dede calling out to the long line of prophets of the Ages. The journey focuses on the music medicine of the Sufis, the indigenous medicine keepers of the Americas, the deep roots of our African ancestors as well as revolutionary bass, hip hop and rave culture throwbacks. It was the rave culture of the 90's when I first experienced what contemporary culture was capable of in achieving Unity on the dance floor.  The Sufi's and Native Americans as well as the African Drum Troupe from Mali that I toured with also showed me later on what is truly possible with the added layer of ceremonial intention. 

This mix is pure medicine and the state of grace that we all experienced on the dance floor together is my reason for doing all of this. I hope that this mix brings you release, empowerment, connection and joy. 

There’s something profoundly magical that happens when the bpm of the music synchs up with the dancers pulse rate. It usually occurs around 110-130bpm, where the music begins to carry the heartbeats of the entire collective of the dancefloor in sympathetic resonance. It’s miraculous when we reach this moment of ecstasy and it can be extended for an hour or more where the dancer completely loses awareness of time & space and any feeling of self consciousness. It’s known by the ancient Greeks as ekstasis - the state of being beside oneself or rapt out of oneself.

LYRICS

For the faithful who still believe
For the weary souls who never leave
For the fancy kids and the punks
For the normies and the wanderers

Everybody loves it
They feel it in their veins
Everybody loves it
It moves in every step

For the girls with glitter bands
Beach boys drifting on the sand
Saints and sinners, hand in hand
For the kids who dream and stand

Everybody loves it
They feel it in their veins
Everybody loves it
It moves in every step

For the drivers in their Cadillacs
For the b-boys deep in the zone
For the rebels on city streets
For the lovers who find their own
For the souls who never give in
For the poets who spit the truth
For the healers with steady hands
For the builders shaping the youth

Everybody loves it
They feel it in their veins
Everybody loves it
They feel it in their veins
Everybody loves it
They feel it in their veins
Everybody loves it
It moves in every step

It doesn’t fade, it doesn’t die
It rises every time we try
It shakes the ground beneath our feet
And burns in every heartbeat

Everybody Loves It (Original Mix pre-final)
