BASS BLISS

Dance Beyond with Keena Maya and Joro-Boro

We are in a great remembering. 
Remembering the ways of our ancestors. 
Remembering how to live in harmony. 
Remembering our true essence. 

And through this remembering we are faced with so many shadows. The invitation is not to run away or hide or fight. 
Yet, meet these shadows with tender loving care. 

SHADOW LOVE is a movement meditation mix. 
Inviting you to use dance as a tool to move with and through your shadows with love. 
Can you find the space to love the deepest darkest parts of yourself?
This mix is a guide to take you there.

"  So we give our voices
So we give our voices to the ones who've left us
So we give our voices
To the ones who cry in silence
So we give our voices
So we give our voices to the ones who's speech is
Runnin' under soil beneath... " 
- Ayla Nereo

Honoring our ancestors.  May we remember how to listen to their guidance.  This mashup is intention as a portal to this connection, an invitation and invocation to listen and feel.   -  With love from, Keena Maya

Ancestral Bass - Hum (Ayla Nereo) x Benefit of the Doubt (Pheel) - Keena Maya Mashup

This mix is dedicated to @charles-thefirst - who touched so many with his music and energy.   Sending infinite love through the waves of dimensions.  

✨LIVE LOVE✨, is all about being an embodiment of love, practicing collective coherence with the love frequency.  Opening space for dark and light, holding all with love.  This is what I experienced during this sweaty #bushwick rooftop #dance #ceremony summer 2021 - This mix has a flow from pumping beats into deep sensual bass - closing out the evening. 

This set was a catalyst for me to move deeper into production & creation of my own tracks!!

Dance Beyond: Part 1 Keena Maya

The debut single of #BASSBLISS from Keena Maya. 

The track opens onto a percolating nocturnal world where the scene is set for sound magic.

A whisper of a breath calls forth a languid yet funky groove, driven by a subterranean bass, and sparkled by fairy dust. A break is reached and the pause opens up the magic further. Evolving from the ancestral realm, the theme now expands into an organic vision of future bass. Chord stabs amplify the crystalline elegance and give it an earthy charge.

Finally returning home, the scene is transformed, and the night echoes with the resonance of a deeper calling.

A Deeper Calling

My live set from the Earth Stage at Dance Beyond Campout 2023 ! 
Such a pleasure to share <3

This produced mix is inspired by the set I played at LIBERTY gathering 2018. Nestled in the heart of the Adirondack mountains of NY, we gather as a community each summer alongside a spring fed lake.  As the full moon rose above the misty lake, these soul vibration sounds flowed out.  This is a condensed version, intended for active listening.  I invite you to take a moment and be with these sounds.  Listen, be present, be moved through sound.

Keena Maya:  MOONRISE MIX  - winter solstice 2018

a live set for the Lunar Eclipse in Leo (01.20.19) 
intended to be experienced as a movement meditation
find time and space to listen, with your ears & your entire body 
open your body to be moved through sound 

as you move, invite yourself 
to release energetic ties of the past 
to step into your power
to see your gifts
to appreciate those you love 

let go of fear of rejection and accept yourself
Leo does not worry about what other's think of her
she is fierce and independent
embrace your inner Leo, embrace you

#BASS #FEELINGSOUND

LEO LUNAR ECLIPSE - Live @ Dance Lab - 01.18.19

Even

After

All this time

The sun never says to the earth,

"You owe

Me."

 

Look

What happens

With a love like that,

It lights the

Whole

Sky.

~  a love like this  ~
inspired by Keena's recent union to partner @joro-boro

She shares her love for deep 140 bass tunes:
the sounds of the shadows, the depths of the unconscious. 
This mix is an invitation to move with our darkness, to open a space for our exploration of this side of our being.

Keena Maya:  A LOVE LIKE THIS - fall 2019

Debut single ' A Deeper Calling ' is OUT ! 

The depths of Keena Maya's sound are incantations, drawing us down into our roots, grounding us into our bodies, and invoking the incandescent deity within us to rise. She is a DJ, producer, and sound conduit. Her global #BASSBLSS sets revel in the low-end, a genre-bending transmission for embodied evolution.  
 
She is one-half of  @being-sound - with her partner @Joro-Boro. Together they perform live #RitualBass.  She is a member of @BAEsound , a feminine powered mindful music collective, a resident of @ecstaticdancenyc, and a contributor to the global Ecstatic Dance community.  

Keena Maya is from Brooklyn and now resides in Hudson, New York, She has performed at  venues like House of Yes,  Knockdown Center, The Sultan Room, The Good Room, Judson Memorial Church, Basilica, PS21, and festivals like Dance Beyond Campout, Dance Medicine Campout, and Impulse Festival.
 
Keena Maya creates collective experiences and environments guided by the rhythms of the Earth. Her work with sound, and with space as an architectural designer, lies at the intersection of interspecies collaboration, mutual care, and ceremony. 

In 2023, we can expect Keena Maya to release her debut EP of #BASSBLSS.
