Ecstatic dance set played for Asheville Movement Collective Friday August 19, 2022. Set list will be added below soon. 

A drippy house pop world r&b dance journey infused with the intention - "Essence of Power"

Power- this word
Often misconstrued 
What does it mean?
What is its proper use?

Is power something
That you can own?
Can it be taken from you?
Is it something we loan?

There’s external power
Like ruling the land 
A king of the kingdom
Presiding over all man 

If our choice effects others
Does that make us powerful?
Should we wield our decisions  
To serve the weak and the small?

And then there’s internal power
We’ve felt it before 
Maybe we do now 
An inner authority 

Seated in the center
Of our highest self
A king of our kingdom 
That needs nothing else 

Whether inner or outer 
Power plays a part 
A dynamic dance 
On the stage of our heart

The true essence of power 
Is humble and strong
Like the lion of the season 
Serving all as the One

With great power comes
Great responsibility, they say,
And a good king would know
That there is but one way:

For it is not
the people who serve the king, 
But the king who serves the people
And in this way, lets freedom ring

“There is no way to repress pleasure and expect liberation, satisfaction, or joy.”

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.

DJ Medicine Fox ~ Live at Earthsong Village

Was looking for something to express what I'm going through and found some magick when combining these two tracks amazing tracks by Tahum and B. Louis. It took me a bit to figure out a looping sequence for each track that works with the other. Pretty much The Path plays straight through with a single loop used in it's intro. Suelo has a couple different loops that I jump between. I've included my transcription of the lyrics down below. I think I got it right... I'll keep this heart open, and keep giving the best of me...

The two original tracks are:
The Path by B. Louis
Suelo by Tahüm

Lyrics to The Path

Trusting in myself in a world of illusion
Finding my center in the ways that will guide me
Listen to the winds that will change my direction
Open to the truth that hides in the shadows
Holding all the keys to my salvation
Even when the world tries to pull me down
Blessings to the sacred places inside my soul
Wisdom show me everything for I am not alone
Living on the path of least resistance
Cultivating love through the pain takes persistence
Giving it your all is a collaboration
With the Gods and the Spirits there is no separation
I wonder where it's all going
Finding strength in this universe
I'll always give the best of me
Bridging light and dark to heal the earth
This message is in harmony
With all the things that lie within your soul
So come out from that lonely place
And live this life releasing all control
Opening my heart wouldn't have it any other way
Integrating light in the dark is the only way
Understanding consciousness is the path I choose to take
Bringing in the fear open eyes never break away
Living on the path of least resistance
Cultivating love through the pain takes persistence
Giving it your all is a collaboration 
With the Gods and the Spirits there is no separation
I wonder where it's all going
Find the strength in this universe
I'll always give the best of me
Bridging light and dark to heal the earth
This message is in harmony
With all the things that lie within your soul
So come out from that lonely place 
And live this life releasing all control
