Ecstatic Dance provides the greatest freedom for me as a DJ.
The freedom to include any song regardless of genre, style, intensity, tempo, etc.
The freedom to transition from 10 minutes of intensity, wild BASS and heavy percussion to a melancholic ambient-classical piano piece and then to tribal house.

My passion and pleasure is to include music from all over the world, some original and some remixed with electronic elements.

At times, there are people who can't dance to one of the tracks, but another person finds new ways of expression.

Highlights of this journey:

- A jazzy tribal electronic song that I was listening to in the late 90s
- Music from an Almodovar film
- Electronic remixes of Moroccon #gnawa and of Blues-y African folk
- Shamanic eastern European music
- High-energy psychedielic #cumbia
- Global #bass with Native-American lyrics

Played live at my "Sacred Riddims" LIVE ecstatic dance event in Koh PhaNgan Thailand, where until recently we were covid-free.

The Garifuna Collective is a group of musicians of African descent, living in central America and the Caribbean.

The song “Uraga (Story)”, off their 2019 'Aban' Album, blends guitar, Garifuna primero drums, turtle shells, and conch shells to create a steady, percussive beat.
I've chose to add both African and Latin elements to the remix to make it more dance-able.

More about the meaning of the song:

The oral history of Garifuna culture is kept with songs. Garifuna songs are most often telling a story, recounting a specific event that marked the songwriter. Sometimes however, there are more than one side to the story! In Uraga, the woman is responding to a story that was told about her. Early in the morning as a party is dying down, she tells people she wants to set the record straight. She is worried that her story will end, incomplete. The ending of the song explicitly highlights the tension felt within the oral culture when stories go untold, as the group vocal sings “this is where the story will end” while the lead vocal answers, “is this really the end?”

Here's the original version of the song:

Uraga/Story (Nowananda Remix) by The Garifuna Collective (Free Download)

Ars Progressiva is a bold, technically driven composition that redefines the boundaries of musical structure and harmonic development. It opens with a distinctive reinterpretation of Chopin’s Grande Valse Brillante, gradually expanding into a richly layered sonic landscape marked by progressive transitions and intricate orchestration.

Combining orchestral depth with textured modernism, the piece draws on thematic influences from Kashchei the Deathless and the emotive purity of Karita Mattila’s rendition of Porgi Amor from Le Nozze di Figaro. Each movement is precisely constructed, moving fluidly through shifting rhythms, abstract piano passages, and evolving harmonic frameworks.

This synthesis of classical elegance, operatic drama, and forward-thinking composition results in an immersive musical experience—crafted for listeners who value precision, depth, and innovation in sound.

Ars Progressiva by Ioannis Alexander Konstas, released under Pulse in Time Tunes Agency, is registered with ISRC QZHN52551581, ISWC T3328019285, and BMI Work ID 73612285.

Soul Shine

This EP is dedicated to the awakening of humanity and the remembrance of it's true origin as infinite, timeless cosmic beings with an indestructable core that have the power to create their own reality. According to the legends of Lemuria humans were once highly spiritually evolved beings that lived in harmony and peace with nature and each other. Lemuria was representative of great abundance, joy and wisdom and some people believe we still carry the memories of this ancient lifetime in our DNA and can access them in dreams and through meditation. Inspired by the legends of Lemuria and theirconnection to the current process of transformation and shifting that is happening on the planet right now Arilu has created a hypnotic and deep meditative journey that transcends time and space. Beautiful dreamy synth-pads, lush and spacy ambient soundscapes encompassed by warm harmonies and sweet melodies create an almost extraterrestrial feel and invite the listener to go on a magical inward journey to expand the awareness and delve into the connection with the higher self. 

In addition to the 3 original tracks we invited Mente Orgánica and Landhouse - who are both part of the NUMA-Family since the very beginning – to rework their favourite track.

➤ About the EP : 
"Yohana"  is a journey into the shadows of the jungle. The sound of these songs are heavily influenced from my first experience with Abuela Aya, where she came to me, in my mind and body, in the form of a serpent. She spoke to me, showed me her power, her essence, I felt her movement and heard her sound, and I connected deeply with her spirit.  I saw the shadow world that exists parallel to our reality everywhere, I learned that the energy of the shadows cannot be defined as good or bad but have their own unique power and influence on us.
⋘ ────── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ────── ⋙
➤ About the song : 
"Camino Lejos" is a prayer to the spirit of the Abuela, a transcendental, tribal song, calling in visions from the space beyond what we know.
