closing out with some sexy vibes from Liili

🔥 Whoa!! Hellzzzz! Yes!!🔥 I feel like if I saw this set in person, I would be on such a great dancing groove, having the time of my life dancing to these beats you mixed up.

Live ambient journey guided within a Blue Lotus ceremony in the Guatemalan Jungle ~

 .. I was recently invited to play music for 3 hours during a private Blue Lotus Ceremony in the jungle of Guatemala. This first hour was a guided breath-work session leading into a 2 hour dance of original music.  

33 candles were lit to represent the spirit of each individual present & illuminate their purpose in this lifetime. 33 representing the 33 vertebrae in the spine on the path from the root to the crown. The set was a journey upwards & then integrating back into our body. 


I have uploaded the first section of this set today. An hour long ambient improv DJ set full of lush soundscapes that I feel resemble in some way the essence of the lotus. 

The other sections will come in the following months. Deep Gratitude & Love

So exited to share my closing DJ set at Ecstatic Dance Melbourne's 2023 finale! The diverse crowd and fluid dance styles created a dynamic atmosphere that went from meditation through to full blown cathartic release. My set, spanning various genres, resonated with the engaged audience, blurring the line between tempos and energetic dynamics, leaving an indelible mark on everyone present. It was a transformative and magical conclusion to a year filled with connection and unity.

We begin the practice in a meditative state hence ambient, organic and downtempo sounds proceed the first part of all my Ecstatic Dance mixes at Ecstatic Dance Melbourne until Madhu opens. If necessary you can fast forward to around 50 minutes in to where uptempo beats drop after this and we swing into a dance floor grove elevating, then finding ecstasis or our peak moments together around 1 hour 40 minutes, then ending in sultry solstice prayerful guidance by the wonderful Madhu Honey once again. Enjoy.

Ecstatic Dance Melbourne - Summer Solstice feat. Madhu Honey (22 Dec 2023)

I was honored to have performed an all-original music set as the headlining artist at the Resolution Festival NZ in the coveted NYE time slot. The performance featured Madhu Honey on vocals and dance performance art. It was an incredible experience to share my original music with such a large and enthusiastic crowd. The energy and excitement of the festival were palpable, and I'm grateful to have been a part of it.

The setlist included a mix unreleased and released original tracks. I started with a few of my more upbeat tracks to get the crowd energized, and then transitioned into some more medicine and heart tracks to close. Madhu Honey's vocals and performance art added a beautiful and unique element to the performance, and I'm so grateful to have had her on stage with me.

The crowd was incredibly receptive and supportive, and I could tell that they were enjoying the music. It was an amazing feeling to be able to connect with so many people through my music. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to perform at Resolution Festival NZ, and I'm sure they will have us back next year.

Wow!!! What an EPIC journey!!! 🔥

I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity to share my music medicine at Gaia Dance Temple, at Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala. ❤️

I attended my FIRST Ecstatic Dance here at the Lake, 6 years ago. And it feels like such a magical and powerful full-circle moment to be back here, and to share my magic with this community. 🥰

This was also the longest DJ set I've ever played, and it was SUCH a deep and powerful journey. ✨

Thank you SO much to my brother Swahé for the trust and opportunity! ❤️

And thank you to Vinnie and Renee and the incredible team at Gaia for all your hard work and devotion to make this day so special and magical. 🙏

I'm so excited to continue to share my magic all over the world! 🙌🏻

Thank you. I love you. ❤️

Ecstatic Dance | Gaia Dance Temple | Lake Atitlan - 17.03.2024

Forest Guardians," the latest sonic exploration from Liquid Bloom and Bloomurian, transcends genres, offering an enchanting electronic-organic journey.

Following their impactful "Fragrance" release, Amani Friend and Robin Leipman return with the multi-talented Onanya, seamlessly blending world music, modern beats, and bass. Onanya's profound contribution, infused with ceremonial prayers, African ngoni, native flutes, along with Shipibo-style vocals, adds layers of authenticity. 

The collaborative spirit, featuring Yube from the Huni Kuin tribe, creates a vibrant tapestry celebrating diversity. In a world where music bridges cultures, "Forest Guardians" is a transformative masterpiece, a must-listen electro-organic odyssey resonating with purpose and unity.

If you'd like a track name please comment. Like's and reposts really help me get more listens. Any engagement is always appreciated. Danke!

Played live on March 24, 2024 at the Asheville Movement Hall to a packed room. I shared the stage with Random Rab, Cpt Hyperdrive, and Spirit Animal. Special thanks to all my friends who came to get down, I know there was a lot going on in town that night. 

There's no "theme" to this set in particular. The set went through several revisions, and ended up being cut 15 minutes short because the event got off to a late start. I'm thinking of releasing an extended studio version later this week, so keep your eye out for that.

When constructing the set I drew from influences in music I was exposed to while on my recent travels to Hawaii. Special thanks to Dajah for introducing me to Surround Sound. I mashed it up in this set. Also special thanks to Osiah, Ginko and Lachlan for the support and some dope track suggestions.

Cover art is the event flier from the evening. Thank you Hunter Dunlap for having me out to play.
