Don't You Just Know It - Huey 'Piano' Smith - Teza Cappuccino edit

As I was pulling together some songs for this Ecstatic Dance set I realized it has been 22 years since I first started to collect vinyl and DJ. 
So in celebration of this journey I decided to dip back into some classic artists and tunes that have inspired be over the decades. 
...As well as sprinkling in some freshness, a few cheeky mashups, and a few of my own too, of course. 
Enjoy!

Ecstatic Dance @ Kalani, Hawaii, July 2022

(D)ancing: 
I got on my bike today and made a spontaneous mix honoring of Albert Hofmann's  magnificent moment in history, 80 years ago.
This global psychedelicatessen of elevating, knotty, percolating, pulsing and squidgy bassliness is woven with a smorgasbord of flavor. Low-end basscapades, traditional horn lines and global soundplay all meet up with  the skank and stutter of dub reggae vibes for a mesmerizing entanglement with psychedelic sound design.

Kalya Scintilla DJ - Ecstatic Dance Nevada City

Tender hearts and connected souls, we proudly announce the first official release of Sonic Samadhi. An ambient favorite that has slowly grown over time and is just now blossoming for the world.

Open Ancient Eyes has become a leading top album that we have chosen to feature here because of the mythic blueprint it holds. OAE was always designed with an ambient journey in mind and here she is, 11 years later.

A very very special celebratory moment for us all. You're invited to take a sublime melodic journey dedicated to gently welcoming you into the present moment, consciously connecting you, and expanding into the infinite.

Living Light - Live at Cosmic Convergence 2016 ~ 2 hour New Years Day sunrise set

I know it has been awhile since I've posted a Ecstatic Dance set. This was designed for strong festival setting. 

This is my Thursday night set at the Yoga Om Stage at Lightning in a Bottle 2016. It was epic and off the hook. Over 1,000 people went on this magical medicine journey. 

Truly a highlight in my life. Enjoy!

Thank you Jason & Miles for mastering this for me.
