Still loving it! This is probably the most listened to mix for me.  So good!

My god, the sax @ 1:00:00 🫠🫠🫠 what is the track name?!? P&TY!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Listening to this while packing my belongings up in Fl, excited to return to the mountains 🥹🙏🏻

All of my ecstatic dance sets from 2023. This year I've played more frequently and for a variety of different events so there is an emergent variety of styles represented.  I've also started to blend sound baths with my gong and singing bowls into the closing stillness section of my sets.

Thank you for listening and enjoy the journey(s) into the cathartic power of music movement, and sound.

Ecstatic Dance Sets by MIKAYA from 2023-25

Ancestral Resonance

Engagement request: please like, repost, and send me a direct message asking for the playlist and I'll send it ova. Thank you! Engagement is a huge help on this platform for all of us artists. 

Played originally at Asheville Movement Collective on May 12th, 2023. Re-recorded and refined some transitions before publishing it two days later.

The theme for this dance is inspired by a poem referenced in many Hollywood films, perhaps most notably in the blockbuster movie “Interstellar.” Written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas in 1947, it has been suggested that it was written for his dying father.   

“Do not go gentle into that good night” 
by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

More info here about the poem can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_go_gentle_into_that_good_night

This ecstatic dance set explores the theme of interstellar and inter-dimensional travel both through the portal of dying, and through the portal of distorted perceptions caused by love, desire, fear, angst, and rage. It will resolve itself into a space where surrender, grief and courage can take root before taking flight.

Interstellar Night {Ecstatic Dance Mix by MIKAYA}

Live recording played at Beat Church Asheville on Aug 1st, 2023. 

Please like, repost, and leave three comments for me and DM me after you have, and I will send you an export of my Traktor playlist with all of my comments, track and artists names, so you can study the progression I used in crafting this wave. It's a great resource for ecstatic dance djs and enthusiasts, and the engagement helps me to get more listens.

Theme was centered around finding and being the peace which we wish to see in our lives, in society, and on this planet. From inner peace, we truly can transform all that which surrounds us. Keep doing the inner work, it's worth it, and the inhabitants here on this beautiful blue green planet are counting on you.

Be in Peace {Ecstatic Dance Mix by MIKAYA}

Intention: Dynamic Range 

Referring to the range of values that a system can capture, represent, or reproduce. Dynamic range can be applied to audio, photography, or dance. In audio, it pertains to the difference between the softest and loudest sounds a device can accurately handle. In photography, dynamic range refers to the range of tones, from the darkest to the brightest, that a camera can capture.

In the context of ecstatic dance, dynamic range refers to the spectrum of movements and expressions a dancer can embody using motion, energy, and emotional states with fluidly and curiosity. From subtle and gentle motions to bold and powerful movements, this dance aims to stretch the dancer to their limits, in order to create a more immersive and transformative dance experience. 

Played on 1/5/2024 @ Haw Creek Commons, Asheville, NC. Pls like, repost and comment to feed my algo-rhythm. Danke!

Ice Becomes Water {Live Beat Church AVL Set by MIKAYA}

Wubbed in Dub is an ecstatic dance set in homage to the bass heavy sub cultures of dub. This set is structured by the classic ecstatic dance wave progression. We will wub shoulders with the music of psychill, psydub, reggae, reggaeton, dubstep, melodic bass, eclectic intelligent dance music (IDM) and a few heart openers to close it out. 

See you on the other side. 

Played on Feb 28th, 2025 in honor of Asheville Movement Collective's 25th Anniversary. Thank you Jeannie Adair for inviting me to play on such a memorable night. 

Photo cred to the interwebs.

Roze Don - Jamaica  || Audio

Dive deeper.

Below the Surface takes you on a sonic descent into the core of deep house.

Stylo B delivers hypnotic rhythms, velvet basslines and a carefully tuned atmosphere where minimalism meets emotion. Perfect for underground lounges, nighttime drives or focused creation sessions.

Each track whispers, pulses, flows — subtly but steadily.

This is Deep House in its purest form. Submerged, refined, and unforgettable.

Midnight Flow

David Parsons revisits gterma with a new album which was completed in 2015. Although perhaps mainly known for his panoramic and almost cinematic Himalayan soundworlds, on Puja he continues his more recent tradition of travelling the inner horizon. And in so doing, he also invites us listeners to undertake similar journeys of our own. Puja is a mysterious and magic constellation, fuelled by the spirit and discipline of the age old Asian cultures and philosophies.
