Ecstatic Dance Journeys

This is a small part of my DJ set on Saturday morning at Tundra Festival 2013 in Lithuania.. The energy of the dancefloor influenced me to develop it to more forest sound.. I hope you like it.

Tundra Forest (Part)

The quiet Covid time has also given a lot of time to explore more music and think more outside my own musical box. In the process, I have discovered several new ways for me, for which I am also open to my DJ sets to play these times. For example here: 170 BpM and still typically Merry:) - just a bit wilder ;) Have fun on this flight!

Something a little faster & wilder

Good morning, after a challenging night you are standing on the psychedelic festival dancefloor. And then comes Merry:) and lets the funky monkeys come out.... Have fun with this jungle adventure! And don't forget: Dance like nobody is watching you.

Merry:) @ Gaggalacka Festival 2023 - Sunday Noon

Imagine you have drunk good, bitter cocoa and your heart is open to this music. It is a journey of just over 1.5 hours into different spheres. Enjoy this flight from the very bottom to the top and back again.

Due to the fact that I come from the Trance and PsyTrance scene for 25 years and that has shaped me, you will notice my "stamp" in my Ecstatic Dance music collection. I hope you like it. More mixes will follow, and hopefully the possibilities to play on many various conscious dancefloors.

Cocoa Ceremony - Ecstatic Dance Wave

Cosmic Moon Gathering 2024 in Czech Republic was really nice, just like the previous Funny Moon festivals - simply special. I was even able to play twice. Here is the record of my 148 BpM DJ set from Friday evening, when I prepared the liveset of Synkronic. Enjoy the flight.

Merry:) @ Cosmic Moon Festival 2024 - Tribute to DJ Horizon

I feel u - Ecstatic Dance Wave

This time I dedicate this Ecstatic Dance mix to a very wise friend who sadly passed away in October 2023. He was simply present in various situations and simply sweetened my and many other people's lives with his inner peace and wisdom. One of his sayings was “the most beautiful dance in life is the Accept-Dance”. Acceptance is a spiritual practice that can help us to come closer to ourselves and experience deep healing. Let us take you on a journey of dancing acceptance and simply accepting who you are. Lie back in a comfortable position and let yourself be guided by this musical selection, which will pick you up from the very bottom, encourage you to dance ecstatically and let you land gently again.

Emotional Expressiveness - Ecstatic Dance Wave

In times when we are increasingly confronted with sensory overload and stress, when the climate among people is getting rougher. In times when you no longer know what information you can believe. In times when music is getting faster and darker, and consumption and self-induced narcosis more and more intense. You have to take countermeasures: Radikal Love is the only thing that can help. With this mix, I have conjured up a kind of soundtrack to this love revolution, with a journey through the worlds of melodic techno, trance and psytrance at around 126 bpm. Just dance to it and let yourself be infected by this energy. And when you manifest this within you, you will only experience love in your life. Just go for it...

And there was a beautiful dancefloor and wonderful energy.

Magic of Manifestation - Ecstatic Dance Wave

Just a part from my DJ set on SaturdayNight at Fractalia OpenAir, a freaky and foresty festival close to Berlin - made by friends.. It´s one of my favourite events, where I´m proud to be part of it.. Join my trip into the Fractalic woods...

Trip to Fractalia Woods 2015

A dream team has found itself.. - a powerful mixture of „Sunshine in the Night“ ;)
This mix is the recording of the second DJ set of both together - emerged in Saturday night on the Gaggalacka Festival 2016. Inspired by the large spider which was the crazy stage design of the festival, Caro and Merry:) put out properly powerful forest sound. Before you push the PLAY-button, be prepared for fast strong beats, around circling ghost sounds , flashing acid lines and crispy creaks. And yes, we gonna do it again... ;)
Some small "jumpers" are also included, but they show that we are human beings, not machines.. ;)

Here is something alternative - mixed by Merry:) ;)

Yes, since ever I love to play in the Chill-Out / Alternative floor.. Almost 20 years ago I was playing ChillOut-Sets together with a friend as "Merry Space" project, which was splitted 10 years ago.. Then I focussed on playing only PsyTrance DJ sets. But since always I collect chill / downbeat music in different styles with diverting stories from various sources.. 

And now I´m back with Chill-/Thrill-/Kill-Out - my own mix of various styles - from Downbeat, Broken Beats, Glitch, Drum & Space, World Music, PsyDub and many more.. This is music in which at least the head does not keep still.. - from now I´m open for bookings for the ChillOut/Alternative stage :)

Recorded on 5th May 2018 at Trancegedance Party in Leipzig.

Enjoy :)

Chill-/Thrill-/Kill-Out

Ego Killer - a powerful journey through many styles of nighttime psytrance.. The mission of this journey is to shut off your fucking ego.. I hope it works..

Ego Killer - that was the name of a track by Shiva Shipadu, which was released in 1997 on Shiva Space Technology. This track had me under its spell at that time. It was the track that got me on the way to playing exactly the sound I play today.

Recording of my set at Earthquake Festival in September 2019 ..

Ego Killer

Depression, hopelessness, sadness? Dr. Merry:) prescribes one hour funny sounds.. a small freaky (!) journey through some deep and strong Psychedelic Trance mixed with small stumbling traps... ;) Enjoy & never loOse your smile :)

** Ecstatic Dance / Downbeat / PsyTrance **

DJ Merry:) from Dresden is a smiling force of creativity with over 25 years of deep roots in the PsyTrance scene. A true dance floor alchemist, he now weaves magic for conscious movers, curating musical journeys that spark connection and transcendence. His sets blend the hypnotic rhythms of electronic world music, the pulse of trance, and the infinite vibes of ecstatic dance, inviting you to lose yourself and find your flow in the boundless cosmos of sound!

* * *
Here is my background as a DJ
​
Since my early youth, I have been infected by the fever of electronic music. The legendary times of the nineties in East Germany shaped my musical taste. I was particularly hooked on GoaTrance and its culture back then. So I became a DJ - first with vinyl, then with CDs and now with USB sticks - and very quickly had a lot of gigs in Germany. I also found my passion for organizing parties and founded the collective “Insulin Productions” with friends, with whom we combined techno, PsyTrance and drum & bass at our parties.
In 2001, the “Gaggalacka” was born, which was my small birthday open-air party for the first few years and grew more and more into a playful, family festival over the years. The new generation of the association has been keeping the festival alive since 2021. Over the last two decades, I have also lived my passion for putting together compilations and DJing at various international parties and festivals in every cell of my body.

​My path to conscious dancefloors
​
After more than 25 years in the depths of the underground of the psytrance scene and a life between nights and festivals, the desire for personal development grew in me. I have always been fascinated by music that is suitable for conscious dancefloors - and many of these tracks have already found their place in my ChillOut sets over the years. But it wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered ecstatic dance and sober raves - events and ceremonies which you celebrate in a mindful and connected way. This is how I found my way to not only continue living my passion as a DJ and dancer, but to shape it as a healing path.

​Merry:) now as Ecstatic DJ
​
There are many musical interfaces to electronic and psychedelic music here, which I want to continue to live out passionately and with which I want to make dance floors happy. My own musical trance “stamp” will be unmistakable with my music collection, which has grown over the years and is constantly expanding. On the other hand, I love to create musical journeys - without limits - and to take the conscious dancefloor with me. Whether it's an ecstatic wave, a groovy downbeat set, a euphoric techno/trance set or even a kicking psy-trance set - I'm looking forward to every opportunity that arises in the future, every encounter and every dancefloor, every cocoa ceremony and what can grow out of it...

merry :)
