So nice to reexperience this divine flow...

Love this track! Who is it? Can you please share a set list? Many thanks!

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.

Lost Treasures

Recorded live on April 13th, 2023 at Asheville Movement Collective. The intention is to honor the passing of winter into the spring season where new growth, connections, and directions abound. This is a time to reflect on those things that have passed away in the depths of winter and the lessons we've learned in the process of letting go. In its place we have an opportunity to create new intentions, goals and collaborations.

Come dance to the rhythms of nature. Sing and dance and embrace the suffering and pain and let it move through you into the courage and strength that lifts your eyes to the sky. The grandmothers and grandfathers invite us to sing... "earth my body, water my blood, air my breath, fire my spirit."

We are all in this dance of life together. Let's not waste the time we've been given waiting on the sidelines for the change that lives inside us and through us.

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.

Resueño presents “Como el Búho” by @rabellion, @jose-croatto and the masterfully made remixes by @sarielorenda and @kompassmusic ✨

Streaming/Download link: https://fanlink.tv/comoelbuho

Infused with the spirit of the Andes, resonating with visions of jungle expeditions and moonlit desert strolls. When Tati (Rabellion), a multifaceted artist as both an Ecstatic Dance DJ and a producer/singer, encountered Jose's song, the irresistible urge to adapt it for dance floors worldwide took hold. Infused with her own vocals, she transformed the track. Tati and Jose's musical connection dates far back to their joint performances during their journeys in Peru around 2017.

With thoughtful & masterful remixes by Kompass and Sariel Orenda (with Kompass also handling the original track's mixing), this EP stands as a collective convergence of artists, each uniquely contributing to the diffusion of love and harmony through music.

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.
