Agape Zoe Corfu ∞ Live Dance Waves

This is our set from a festival we played In Bavaria, Southern Germany last summer called the Feta Morgana.  During our set it was completely raining but the dance floor was still packed, many people huddled under the tent dancing with us and then a full crew out in the rain and mud fully surrendered to the elements and loving it, it was a magical evening.  May you experience as much joy listening to this set as we had playing it :) With love, Ian and Angelos <3

Aguila @ Feta Morgana Festival 28.08.18

Into a Deeper Dimension with Steffen Ki | Chapter 042

WHAT IS THE MUSIC OF ‘ECSTATIC DANCE’ ?

Many people find a beautiful song and think “Oh i’m gonna listen to it a lot !”
And there is a special kind of people who think “Oh I can’t wait to play it for others”. 
These kind of people are called “DJ"

I spend a big chunk of my time digging for music.
And the constant question that arises is:

Can I play it at Ecstatic Dance ?

For me, Ecstatic Dance is an opportunity to discover and dance to music that is not played on commercial dance floors or spotify playlists.

Music that invites my body to move in new or different ways, or to relax and be still.

Music that isn’t just happy-happy but that might induce sadness, anger, introspection, elevation and other states.

Music that connects me to myself, to others and to life.

That is true for me as a dancer, as a DJ and as a budding musician. 

Some of the music I play at Ecstatic Dance is light, dance-y, and approachable.

and some, well, is less so. 

One of my greatest challenges is finding the balance between playing what I love and between accommodating for what people can receive.

I know I can appeal to more people if i play more commercial music.

But I feel such a calling to share some of the treasures i find;

Like a 13 minutes piece weaving together traditional arabic music and a classical string quintet.

Or music by a swedish live-band integrating latin, jazz, african, and amazonian music. 

Or a heart-ripping african-american gospel blues piece from the 1920s that was etched on a gold disc and sent to outer space on the voyager space probe.

Or a polish folk song sung by a group of female singers and remixed by a french electronic musician.

The challenge to find this balance isn’t easy, but i embrace the challenge and the experiences and insights it brings.

And so, you can find some of these treasures in this DJ set, which I played at ’Snake Charmer’-  a slower edition of Ecstatic Dance - in Koh PhaNgan, July 9th, 2020.

Ecstatic Dance ~ Snake Charmer edition ~ 9.July.2020  Koh Phangan

I played this set live in Koh PhaNgan, Thailand.

"Snake charmer” is a slower edition of Ecstatic Dance, and includes devotional, organic and sensual music as well as more up-beat tracks.

I included a very heart-wrenching classical prelude for Cello and orchestra that I wanted to play for years.  

Most of this tracks I played for the first time ever, and a few I played a long while ago.
I intend to create a unique musical journey for each event I hold, and make it good enough to share publicly.

Join the next Snake charmer dance in Koh PhaNgan

As an Ecstatic Dance Activist and Mentor, my mission is to Deepen the dance experience, Grow and diversify the community, and support the organizers and teams.

I'm inspired by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, life-long dancing and music-collecting, 20 years of traveling, and an extensive study, practice, and teaching of tantric yoga, personal development and conscious business.

I weave traditional, popular, organic and electronic music from cultures and ethnic groups around the world into dance journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.
