“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

This was played at The Landing for their annual Midsummer's Daydream event. It is an ecstatic dance, and contains explicit lyrics in the Outkast track. It's spiced with sensual tracks and will fit an outdoor dance at the peak of summer well. Photo Credit to David Block.

Track info is annotated in the comments.

Midsummer's Daydream {Ecstatic Dance Mix by MIKAYA}

“There is no way to repress pleasure and expect liberation, satisfaction, or joy.”
― Adrienne Maree Brown, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good

Recorded live at the Somatic Revival in Asheville, NC. I geared this set towards sexy sensual partner dance, while keeping a wave structure to the musical progression.

Oasis 

Of my mind,
Speak to me.

Through intention
Bring me to your waters  

The desert 
Feels endless

The oasis 
Promises nourishment

The Oasis 
Promises answers

But I must remember,
Answers come and go

It is the Questions 
Which remain

I played this set on New Years Day 2023 for the Asheville Movement Collective. This is the live mix without any edits. The poem states the intention and inspiration behind the mix. May it take you on a journey into the Oasis with a blending of musical genres to help us better understand the truth we carry inside.

DJ Medicine Fox live set at the Earthsong Village Party

DJ Medicine Fox ~ Live at Earthsong Village

Ecstatic dance set prerecorded live played for the Asheville Movement Collective & Warren Wilson College on 4.14.23. The event was also a benefit for the Center for Conscious Living & Dying, an organization doing incredible service towards cultivating presence and respect for death by honoring and embracing the final seasons of life and providing proper end of life care ✨ 

The set is inspired by their mission, with a vision of cultivating consciousness and presence through the death portal, so expect a bit of a journey into the bardo. May we dance to cultivate a deeper awareness of our relationship with death and may we find that we celebrate life that much more and dance that much harder as a result <3

{Purrriestess} The Bardo ~ Ecstatic Dance Asheville 4.14.23

Rito Cósmico

A song for those without a home, for those in refuge, for those who roam. An acoustic original written in the mountains of Oregon outside of Asheville. Don't be afraid to change! Cuz the times they are a changin'! Everyday is not promised and tomorrow is not known. No matter what happens we can choose how to respond. May we all find home = the earth, a home within ourselves, and our community wherever we are in a world of displacement. 

LYRICS:

Take what you need but don't ever stay the same.
Don't be afraid, afraid to change
Don't be afraid of the unknown
Don't be afraid of what your heart wants to know

Fly all the way home
Fly all the way home
Let us fly our way home

Even when a single golden ember still burns
Cuz we're still all holding the flame
To light it again
Carryin our prayers in the ashes
To light it again
I break free of the silence again

To fly my way home
To fly my way home
To fly our way home
Let us FLY LET US FLY

I lay my troubles down
I lay my troubles down
Oh let me break free with the moss and the cedar of the ground
Let me break free now
Fly, our way home
Our Way Home
Don't Be afraid
Don't Be afraid
Don't Be afraid
Of the unknown
Come on Home
Come on Home
Come on Home
Let us fly....
Fly....

Special Thanks for Violet Recording Studio in Boulder, CO

Don't Be Afraid
