From Pascal de Lacaze, organizer of Ecstatic Dance Berlin:
#BECAUSE PSYTRANCE
Here's the thing. As Ecstatic DJs one of our favorite conversational topics (besides ...) is: How to best craft a musical "wave" for the dancers and how much time we should spend in which bpm range or musical genre. And when and how we most effectively shape the peaks, those high energy moments of an Ecstatic Dance journey that many dancers relish, because they bear the potential for cathartic release. (I realize that this is a long intro to resolve the whole "Because Psytrance" thing, but hopefully it created some suspense; keep reading.)

TIME

If you want to, for example, build up to a Psytrance peak, you need time: Psytrance is a very fast techno sub-genre of around 140 - 150 bpm. You don't stumble into this after 30 min of an Ecstatic DJ set. You elegantly build up the energy with musical delicacies and sonic surprises, slowly increasing the bpm. When the crowd is ready you can bring it. Introduced skillfully this can be quite orgasmic.

MORE TIME

That's why Avani aka Tyler and me decided to add another 30 minutes to his 2-hour DJ set at Ballhaus Rixdorf on Thursday. So, beloved dancers, enjoy a

TWO AND A HALF HOUR DANCE JOURNEY

in one of the most epic ballroom locations you have ever danced! Oh, and there will most likely be a dash of Psytrance involved 😉

Btw: "Because Psytrance" might even be a good reason for anything. See what Tyler suggests: bit.ly/BecausePsyTrance

AVANI - VX Oakland - 1/21

Tyler Blank / AVANI / Mr. Blank 
(San Francisco, USA), is an Ecstatic Dance DJ, and Founder of Ecstatic Dance Oakland, SF, Fairfax, and the EcstaticDance.Org NonProfit Community.  His music style can be called eclectic, eccentric, sometimes even ecstatic.  He plays every emotion, tempo, and genre possible to produce a journey of sound for the embodied spirit to experience itself.  Avani appreciates both the sacred, and the profane… the spiritual and the sexual.  Come take a ride, through the chakras, around the globe, from the ancient past through the distant future, arriving and enjoying, the right here and now. 

Mr. Blank sees each Ecstatic Dance as a Journey through Human Life. We Begin (Life & Dance) with Ambient Nothingness out of which our Dreams are Created. Our Intention (Conception) Manifests as we enter into Physicality, and we are Born with the first Beat. The Sweet Tenderness of Infancy grows into the Playfulness, Sexuality, and Exploration of Youth. Intensity of Life (& Music) grow further as we go through our Adulthood, Monotony of a Job (house beat? Ha!), and Mid-Life Crisis (Chaos). We may have Time for a Second Childhood, or we Wind Down through the Reminiscence of our Youth (pop remixes) and Wisdom of Old Age as we eventually find Peace, Stillness, and Integration of the Dance (Life), into Death, and Beyond.

Mr. Tyler Blank first started "DJing" by making mix tapes as a youngster, weaving in messages through song lyrics to convey the desired meaning and emotion through each side of the tape. He delights in sharing New Music, and he collects Songs from every Genre, Tempo, Emotion, and Intensity. Avani's Music is Crafted for a Journey into Conscious Movement, Connecting with Self and Other, as both as a Wild & Playful Celebration, and as Healing Shamanic Experience & Therapy.

He now plays (DJs) at Ecstatic Dances around the world, and is the Founder of Ecstatic Dance San Francisco, and the Co-Founder of Ecstatic Dance Oakland, Fairfax, & The Ecstatic Dance Retreat in Hawaii. He is also the Director of the Ecstatic Dance Community Non-Profit, helping people start their own Dances around the World.
