A few hundred people, camped in the bush by a beach. Good vibes and an amazing curation of music, art and experiences. Energy. Connection. Release. Reintegrate.

Anahata's Purpose has become a favorite for me to play. Here's the live recording from my ecstatic dance set this year (2022).

Enjoy the medicine <3

Nah Mean?

Anahata's Purpose 2022 • Ecstatic Dance •

Live Dj set played for the Asheville Movement Collective at the beautiful Warren Wilson College. Quite the journey, all the feels. Infinite gratitude.
Really hard to do proper justice to this one without a good sub. Super yummy sub bass frequencies, mmhmmmm ;) Enjoy <3

"Dance, dance here again with me my love, 
do you not remember when the music easily made us swing and sway? 
Lighting our spirits and seducing us away 
from toils and sorrows forget this darkness 
and the heavy sounds of the machine. 
The rattling, buzzing clamour 
of its electricity; 
displaced and dislocated mind, dismembered soul return from sea. 
Come still your senses that have run away with hype and fallacy. 
Come back this moment, please, if you could only see
just for a moment summon your whole spirit to be free. 
Let your mind go and dance with mystic, childlike reverie. 
Allow your quintessential heart to feel this rhythmic melody 
and show me in your eyes that you are here… 
with me.” – Katie Kamara

Disco House Set • Live @ Ultraviolet 3.22.24

New Year's Day 2016, I was playing a morning set at Tropical Oasis, a weekend campout. It was somewhere around 34 degrees F and I was opening for one of my favorite artists, Bluetech. I was going for a dubby psychill sound. 

This is a live recording, and at the end, a momentary glitch with Bluetech's gear, due to the cold weather, meant I had to play a little longer than expected, so there's a gap between the last two tracks.

Tracklist:

1. Omnimotion - Snowflower
2. Auma - Blue Skin Reflect (Griff's Refracted Mix)
3. Bahramji & Maneesh de Moor - Crazy Heart
4. Hibernation - Good Morning London
5. Spoonbill - Driftwood
6. Carlos Torres - Temple
7. Griff - Orbit
8. Vacuum Sounds - Journey After a Snakebite
9. Audiokonstrukte - Slow the Moment
10. Dream Stalker - Dialekt
11. Spectralite - Ocean
12. Scann-Tec - Phone Call (Live)
13. M-Seven - Gone
14. Beatfarmer - Cosmic Playground (Cosmis 2015 Mix)
15. Kuba - Labyrinth of Colours
16. Squarekey - Bridges
17. Stellar - Slack Dub (International Observer Instrumental Dub)
18. Shen - Embrace (Deadbeat's Soaking in the Dub Mix)
19. Phidelity - Cloud Architecture
20. Kuba - Unsinkable
21. Kaya Project - Desert Phase (Hibernation Remix)

This is a recording of the music of the 'Program' section of the 2 hour journey we enjoyed at Ecstatic Dance in Williams, Oregon, on October 8, 2017.  Between the Warmup (Part 1), and the Program, we had an opening circle in which we connected with words about the guidelines which create the Ecstatic Dance container, and a beautiful Invocation song by a community member.

It's Fall season in southern Oregon. The tiny Town of Williams, which normally consists of very private rural farmers suddenly is awash with migrant farm workers. Young and old, they come from near and far, and they love to dance. 
It's been freezing every night for a week, and fortunately the air isn't thick with smoke from the nearby forest fires. 
It’s night time, as the venue is booked in the mornings of the 2nd Sundays.  It’s a special Ecstatic Dance, when we get to dance in the night time energy.
As the first couple songs play, community members arrive and greet each other with huge smiles and bigger hugs.  For some of us, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.  For others, only a week.  Still, we immediately start filling the room with LOVE.
Playing one song into another, choosing each in the moment, we co-created the journey.  Myself as the Musical Facilitator did the technical work, but I feel that the energy we brought together was the true guide.
The recordings are for us to revisit the moments we had at Ecstatic Dance, and for those who weren’t there to potentially tap into the energy we shared.
This was, at this point, the most fun I’ve had at Ecstatic Dance… ever.  Thank you to everyone who participated.

Recorded Live October 8, 2017, Williams, Oregon
