In October, and especially during Halloween, there is a thinning of the veil between the worlds.

The veil is where we meet our loved ones, guides, and angels. It is a place between the worlds of seen and unseen, known and unknown, living and spirit.

The days are getting shorter, and we are preparing to temporarily withdraw from the realm of life and growth. The harvest cycle is winding down, but it’s not gone completely yet. This represents a transition, or a doorway, or a veil.

Because the veil between the worlds is thin in October, we feel drawn to certain themes at this time of year. There’s no denying that as we approach Halloween, death is a primary cultural symbol. Scary movies, ghosts, graveyards, zombies and skeletons, ways of honoring the dead, like Día De Los Muertos.

This mix was created to honor this time of year when the veil is thin between our world and the spirit world. A time when we can more easily commune with our loved ones who have passed, and our spirit guides.

Witches’s Brew Volume 2 is a magical musical stew that has a strong Mystical base with a hint of Goth, a touch of Tribal, a sprinkling of Funk, a pinch of Psychedelic Rock served up with a driving house beat and polyrhythmic drums, which is then seasoned with my special sauce of electric guitar that is sometimes funky, sometimes spicy, sometimes exotic, and even a bit metal at times.

It begins in stillness with an ambient new age goth sounding track called “The Loom” by Anilah. I have added some haunting Romani inspired guitar to this opening track as a nod to my own ancestors, and to give it a bit more of an edge of mysteriousness. It symbolizes the opening of the veil as we enter this magical dark world.

This song carries us into the Spirit Realm where we are greeted by a trixster of a track that has a message for us - stay light hearted even when things are grim because our spirit guides are with us always.

With the next track, we are starting to get into the groove as we navigate the dark abyss of Voodoo Magic, with Dr John as our guide, where possibilities abound and things are not always what they seem to be.

Next we hear from the late, great, satirical stand up man Mr. Bill Hicks, and the message is clear, “life is like a roller coaster” and it goes up and down, and round and round, but don’t worry because “It’s Just a Ride”!

As the ride continues it builds like a wave of energy bringing us from a slow steady flow, and then, just like life, the road gets a little bumpy with a staccato rhythm, until it starts to flow again. But this time, faster and faster, picking up speed as we enter Chaos. Until, finally the wave crashes into stillness again.

With the closing track “Sky Burial”, also by the amazing goth vocalist Anilah, we have laid our worries to rest and have returned to the world of the Living where we are left with the realization that Death is our Greatest Advisor. It teaches us to live fully in the moment because we never know how much time we have with the ones who are dearest to us.

And, that death is not the end but the beginning of the next great adventure!

Witches' Brew Volume 2 (Mastered v10)

This is my set from Ecstatic Dance on it's return to the legendary Sweets Ballroom where it all began!   This was one the best feeling sets I have played in a long time!  The energy in the room was incredible and filled the space from wall to wall, the dance floor was so activated and I felt so connected to everyone in the room.  A true ecstatic dance family reunion and homecoming!  I played a lot of my 'hits' for this special dance reunion!  It's hard to capture the incredible energy that was in the room that day, but here is the recording from that epic morning for your listening pleasure.  In-JOY!

Invitation: Emptiness

As we dip into a waxing crescent moon and a sip away from an upcoming Spring Equinox, I invite you to taste a lil emptiness…
We live in a world that constantly has us taking on information and demands quite a bit of our attention. Our mind, our prana, life force….

Even some of our spiritual practices can have us reflecting on what to let go of, what our Hearts song dreams to manifest, and so on so on…

So like a breath of fresh air before Spring kicks off…we have the opportunity to taste the fragrance of our Pure “Bee~ing” as the intention is set to let all intentions go for a moment.

Even in manifesting we are taught the power of letting it go for it to come into fruition. And even when we want to break a pattern or shed an old skin… we have to reach a state of not activating the thoughts that pertain to that subject ~ Or begin to anyways… to lessen the pull, the hold, that any given object/subject has on our mind, (life force).

By allowing a little “space”…. And creating an intention to be empty…to have a Gorgeous moment of not filling ourselves up we can experience a bliss and a kiss…get a feel for who we truly are… in this emptiness… when all the clothes we have covered ourselves with ~ in our mind ~ are let go of…. During a journey in the sound ~ our dance becomes the meditation…the retreat that takes us on a dive into Infinite Consciousness…

So I invite you to leave everything, cling to nothing, for a few moments. For the Pure Self has no expectations, nothing to wait for, nothing to gain, nothing to lose, nothing to become, nothing to manipulate.

All that arises…all that comes and goes in life are like clouds…and though these things are experienced through you ~ you are infinite space…Pure awareness.

Allow a little emptiness…stay as awareness only…see what happens…

this my Beloved friends…can water you in miraculous ways…🌱 and your entire being now resonating at such a vibration with some stillness in the mind ripples out to all our Brothers & Sisters and Momma Earth ~ welcome in the gift and opportunity to just be…empty. Pure awareness. Pure space….

You are more than just a mere drop in this one ocean of a dance…you are the entire ocean…and We are One Song…

Honored to witness and join you Beloveds in this deep dive as we cling to nothing yet experience our Oneness… we are Pure Consciousness in human form and I’m Grateful to have this invitation to experience us dancing in this Knowing as its fruits are sure to be showing, glowing, and a growing long after such a dance has commenced.

Love Eternal,
🙏🏼♾️🌊💓

Live at the Ethereal Equinox! 

This hour-long deep dubstep voyage from 11PM to midnight embodied the cosmic balance of the equinox. Ancient Eastern influences like ethereal atmospheres and haunting chants seamlessly merged with futuristic sound design and subatomic bassweight. Each transition pulled dancers deeper into an alternate reality where boundaries dissolved.
Grooves locked into a primal universal pulse, channeling the rhythmic cycles of light and dark. Earthy organic tones converged with cyberdelic synthlines to manifest the equinox's delicate equilibrium through sheer bass frequency exploration. A balanced auditory journey celebrating the convergence of opposing forces.

Live @ UNITEA MVMNT Ethereal Equinox - March 2024

Liveset ~ Beat Church ~ #1

The last dance of a series that I co-hosted with Ashley Chipurda in Calgary, AB. This past 5 months has been a joyous journey through sound, rhythm and connection. For the final element we explored inner and outer space. It is with intentional space that we provide ourselves and each other enough room to heal. 

I am grateful to all that participated and for all that supported our efforts. It was an honour to take part in creating medicine space for the people. 

Blessings,

.
