Ecstatic Dance Sets

Recording of the Resonanz Ecstatic Dance session at Paradiso, Ubud(Bali) on 26/1/23.
The upload includes the initial contact dance and the sonic shavasana ending as well.

Being my first ever ecstatic + contact dance, mistakes were made and lessons were learnt. 
Apologies for the contact dance not being more ambient.

Although the session was incredible on both sides of the decks regardless :)

Would recommend this as a great musical journey just after waking up :)

Resonanz Ecstatic Dance 26/1/23 | Eclectic downtempo (50-111 BPM)

As Dj sets up his turntables in the dimly lit temple, he notices a figure emerging from the shadows. It's a monk, dressed in flowing robes and holding a mysterious object in his hand. Dj greets him warmly, and the monk responds with a smile, saying that he has come to request something special from the DJ.

The monk explains that he needs Dj's help to create a magical, spiritual experience for the temple's visitors. He wants Dj to use his music to transport the listeners to a higher plane of consciousness, where they can connect with the divine.

Dj is intrigued, and asks the monk to explain more about what he has in mind. The monk pulls out the object he was holding – it's a small, intricately carved wooden box. He explains that it contains a powerful spiritual energy, and that by opening it at the right moment during Dj's set, they can amplify the magic of the music.

Excited by the challenge, Dj begins to prepare his set. He chooses tracks that are uplifting, ethereal, and filled with otherworldly sounds. He mixes them together with precision, gradually building the tempo and intensity until the room is filled with a pulsing, spiritual energy.

As Dj plays, the monk watches intently, holding the wooden box close to his chest. Finally, at the peak of the set, he nods to Dj and opens the box. A burst of light and energy explodes from within, filling the room with a sense of wonder and awe.

For the next hour, Dj continues to play, the music flowing through him like a spiritual force. The visitors to the temple dance and sway, their eyes closed, lost in the magic of the moment. And when the set comes to an end, the room is filled with a sense of peace and contentment, as though everyone has just experienced something truly special and transformative.

Live on the Heaven (Ecstatic Dance Mix)@Koh Phangan

Lunar Eclipse Live Set (15.04.2023)

Was an incredible experience this time around playing on the energising ED Melbourne dancefloor

I traversed through a few different genres with this set; downtempo, world bass, hip hop, drum & bass, tech/afro/melodic house, all with the intention to get those juices flowing and that body moving!

Ecstatic Dance Melbourne - March 2023

In honour of Pedro's 50th and the awesome vibes and people that came to the party.

@ Pedro's 50th - Deep Tribal, Organic House, Tribal Techno & Psy Tech 08/07/23

Jeweled Lotus / Electric Shaman / downtempo, baby! / # 10

This was THE single most powerful ecstatic dance sets I have ever experienced, as either a music facilitator or as a dancer.

All because I arrived in Hawaii while the deadliest wildfires seen on US soil in over a century raged across the island of Maui, destroying the old capital city of Lahaina, leaving in its wake immense loss, pain, grief, anger, and sadness across the community.

I was extremely apprehensive about proceeding with this EDance as scheduled, because I felt ashamed that my role was non-essential in a time of crisis, and that there were more important things that could be prioritised. However the organisers and other dancers from the community reaffirmed with me in the lead up that this Dance was important, even amidst a crisis like this. 

They advised that even though many dancers in the community may need to attend to other priorities, those that were drawn to the sacred space would be there, as it has been cultivated as a space where the community can gather to process trauma, to express their grief, and to support each other.

We decided to proceed with the dance, and give the powerful intention of Strength & Resilience, to honour these attributes within the survivors and the community. 

All throughout the dance, there was a heavy grief in the air, a communal sense of loss and sadness that I saw expressed in waves of different human emotions. I witnessed a wide spectrum of responses - singing, crying, yelling, hugging, and more, amidst a sea of beautiful humans coming together in this space, dancing to music, just like we have done for thousands of years.  

When the dance was over, amidst the sea of sadness and grief, there was a notable feeling of relief, as the time and space given to express themselves through movement had been cathartic, and it was an honour to hear words of gratitude and love reflected back to me for facilitating this extremely raw, and powerful container. The power of this dance is a testament to the strength of the Maui dance community that I feel lucky to have witnessed.

I am extremely grateful to the Hulahula Kai community for having me there for the dance, especially during this difficult time, and I honour those that passed, and the strength and resilience of the survivors of this tragedy. 

With love and respect,
HAFNER

Live set @ Own Spirit Festival 2033 at the stage Temple of Frequencies.

Own Spirit Festival 2023 - Temple Of Frequencies - Nykkyo Energy DJ (With Energies www.divine.tools)

My first gig after Covid on a private double birthday bash with some crazy mixing and diversity. Especially for the birthday kids i bought a lot of new tracks and decided to play slower than usually. I combined psychedelic and pop elements in a funny way. There are Newcomers as well as long known producers played in the set. Don't wonder what I'm talking about. Just listen to it. Fun Fact: It's 1h11m long

Seraphina Special Set (Pop / Trance / Prog) Judy's & Ezgi's Birthday Bash 2023 @ Cartoon, Mälzerei

I hope you enjoy the live recording of this special ecstatic dance set, played at Kalanimua, the heart of the ecstatic dance movement born on Big Island back in the early 2000s.

One of the themes of this mix was to bring forth the transformative power of the water element, weaving lyrics, soundscapes and an invocation of 'agua de estralis' beautifully sung by local musician Gabby Holt throughout the journey.

Alongside this theme i chose to play some renditions of Vivaldis four seasons throughout the mix (reimagined by Max Richter)- 'Spring' to open up the floor with excitement and wonder, 'Winter' in the middle to challenge the dancers and transition to a more moody vibe, and 'Autumn' at the end to finish with a sense of beauty and gratitude.

The Kalani dancefloor is one of my favourites in the world. 
It is such an electric and incredible container for movement and connection, held by a beautiful and diverse range of dedicated local dancers, and throughout this set I felt the vibrancy of each and every individual on the dancefloor, which made for an ecstatic experience of my own behind the decks. 

Please enjoy and share the love <3

Ecstatic Dance @ Kalani, Big Island Hawai'i 20-08-23

This is probably the most fun ecstatic dance set I have played in Melbourne to date! 

This set includes 20 minutes of warm up music before the invocation and dancing - and traverses through a wide range of genres; downtempo, classical, global bass, trap, glitch hop, drum & bass, world, afro/latin/organic house, arabesque, breaks & techno. 

I even teased in a 90s throwback i never thought i would play on the EDance-floor, ended up playing the whole song and it was one of the most memorable moments of the night.

If you you are keen for a journey, strap in and enjoy :)

Ecstatic Dance MELBOURNE - 9.2.24

This set was an absolute delight to perform, the second edition of seven, focusing on the Sacral Chakra & the water element - intending to evoke sensuality, creativity, sexuality, self-expression, bliss and flow. 

This is a super special journey that begins and ends with a beautiful poem centered around the journey of a raindrop from the skies to the ocean, created by the equally beautiful Emina Ashman. 

Was a privilege to work with the team at Centre Of You in Prahran, my first time at the venue and it felt like an embrace from an old friend.

Please enjoy and feel free to share this with anyone who may enjoy this musical and poetic creative expression.

Mrs.Kernel | DnB Mix

I love to play emotive, energizing electronic dance music, often drawn towards deep, downtempo electronica influenced from instrumental and organic soundscapes from the many cultures of this world. 

My intent is to create meaningful musical journeys suited to anything from a meditative state of reflection, hypnotic movements, and all the way through to ecstatic dance. 

Creating, or shifting the vibe of a space with intention and style is the core element of my sets, using an ebb and flow of musical moods to mold that of the listener, and to move the heart, the body and the soul.
