Recorded live at Ecstatic Dance Zürich weekly Fridays on July 1, 2022, during my first few hours in Switzerland ever!

It was a long journey to get there and I arrived just hours before the dance began. 

After taking a couple of weeks to explore the UK and recording 3 online Astrology trainings, I thought it would be easy to book a direct flight to Zurich from Brighton. Though I was very wrong.

I ended up having to wake up with only a couple of hours of light sleep to catch a 4:30 am bus to the further away airport. It was raining so I had to catch a taxi to the bus station. Once I got to Heathrow it was the longest waiting line I've ever experienced at an airport. Then I had a layover in Stuttgart, Germany, which meant I had to go through customs and check back in again. Which meant waiting in more lines. Once I finally arrived in Zurich I met a local who helped me figure out which tram to take and then walked several blocks with two suitcases of luggage.

... Upon arriving at the beautiful old stone building and finding my way upstairs to the hall where we would dance, I immediately melted and knew it would be a great dance that night. The location is a sacred space that hosts religious events sometimes. 

I helped set up and found out that we would be using a brand new sound system with circular speakers. I met who I would be collaborating with on the welcoming warm-ups and the closing acoustic songs and it all flowed beautifully from there.

There is a specialness when a community has been dancing together for many years on a consistent basis. This dance has been held weekly since 2015 and with a space that beautiful it was pure magic. So lovely to meet so many beautiful people and play music while the Sun went down and the colored lights came on in the hall. 

Since there was a new sound setup I had to set up the DJ table off to the side of the stage level with the dancers. This was sweet to be right there with them and the stage was left for an alter.

It was a vibrant and special night. The perfect first introduction to the Zürich dance community and Switzerland. 

This set is two hours long with two waves infused with deep bass beginnings, and textured house peaks. There's some American pop thrown in for fun, with a Latin and African theme found throughout. Enjoy the long blends and have as much fun as I did listening at home.

Artists include Axel Thesleff, Mixwell, Maugli, German Brigante, Savej, Entheo, Luckey, Ayla Nereo, Jungle Kitchen, and remixes of Beyonce and Kelis.

Take your time, enjoy your dancing
We know - it can be quite inviting
To quicken up your usual pace,
There is no need for you to race.
Take your time, be in no hurry.

Take your time, feeling clearly
We already know you move sincerely!
Take care, each tiny error erase
This could be your saving grace.

Feb 25th, 2023

Late night at underground speakeasy in Japan. 
Loud, full, and big energy all around.
This set is a bit flirty, a bit dirty, a bit dark, a bit bright eyed, a bit of all of it.

Not the best of mixable transitions as this was a set done on the fly and I threw together as the crowd vibed, still had a hell of a time and it was wildly loud enough for no one to hear the bloopers.

Dont Let It Stop

Dark and brooding mood

For Amani Friend and his Liquid Bloom project, the Re:Generations mixes are a gift that keeps on giving. First remixed by AtYyA, who took on the entire album by himself, now an all-star cast of subsonic wizards from around the globe are putting their own spin on these intoxicating tunes. 

Stars of the psychedelic world like Hedflux and Land Switcher pump thrilling bass into “Roots of the Earth”and “Fire Gathering,” respectively. Kaminanda takes “Sacred Blessing” on a more than 11-minute epic journey. Numatik ignites new life into Fire Gathering .Suduaya, Momentology, Salis, and Nanosphere run the gamut from rich, organic strings and ethereal voices to dark, brooding, and bellowing sub bass covering the spectrum from delicate, ambience to pounding grooves. TRIBONEonce again remixes Deya Dova for a Desert Trax release, and Erothyme closes out the collection with a sprawling anthem of lush sounds. 

This album includes a bonus Music Video download of "Emerging Heart Nanosphere Remix" created by Matt Worldly.
