Nordic

On the 1st of February at Odds and Ends, we gathered beneath the shroud of winter’s longest night. The air was thick with prophecy, the scent of sacred herbs, and the pulse of bodies moving as one. Synesthesia: Sacred Rites of Freya was not just an event—it was a ritual, a calling, a last-ditch invocation against the coming storm.

The vølve had spoken. The world trembled on the edge of Ragnarok, its heart frozen in apathy. But Freya, the radiant goddess of love and desire, whispered a path to salvation: to rekindle the primal fire, to dissolve the barriers of flesh and ego, to awaken our senses through sound, movement, and sacred union.

This DJ set is a relic of that night. A sonic incantation, carrying the echoes of pleasure and devotion, the resonance of flesh against flesh, the rhythmic pulse of life defying the void.

Let this mix take you back to that night—where bodies intertwined in the dim glow, where basslines became heartbeats, where the senses merged into one transcendental experience. Feel it. Relive it. And may love triumph over the cold.

🔥 Sound is the ritual. Movement is the offering. Love is the salvation. 🔥
