Description: Raw uncut live set recorded at Dance Medicine Philly on April 7th, 2023.

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.

Flawless {Ecstatic Dance Mix by MIKAYA}

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}

On the back of his album Natura Sonora, Shika Shika co-founder El Búho offers up a refreshing new direction on this four track EP Tón Tón, exploring the concept of organic dem-bow. These tracks are inspired by the idea of taking a now global and commercial beat but seen through El Búho owl-ish lens, mixing his trademark natural sounds, laid-back beats and mix of electronic and acoustic samples.

The release kicks off with ethiopian jazz inspired opener “Get At You”, a nod to saxophone legend Getatchew Mekurya, before going deep into a driving collaboration with Chilean producer DJ Raff featuring scattered vocals and whirling saxophones. Sol y Tormenta features Ecuadorian MC La Mafianadina providing her kichwa flow to the Siku-bow beat. The EP ends with the refined electro-swing-bow of Marti.

Tras su álbum Natura Sonora, el cofundador de Shika Shika, El Búho, ofrece una nueva y refrescante dirección en este EP de cuatro temas, Tón Tón, en el que explora el concepto de dem-bow orgánico. Estos temas se inspiran en la idea de tomar un ritmo ahora global y comercial, pero visto a través de la lente de El Búho, mezclando sus característicos sonidos naturales, ritmos relajados y una mezcla de samples electrónicos y acústicos.

El lanzamiento arranca con "Get At You", inspirado en el jazz etíope, un guiño a la leyenda del saxofón Getatchew Mekurya, antes de adentrarse en una colaboración con el productor chileno DJ Raff en la que se mezclan voces y saxofones. Sol y Tormenta incluye a la MC ecuatoriana La Mafianadina, que aporta su flow kichwa al ritmo de Siku-bow. El EP termina con el refinado electro-swing-bow de Martí.

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.
