This mix took awhile to birth!  

2015 has been quite the intense ride so far, and winter has taken many of us quite deep, so this mix tells a story of that journey for me:  of change, balance, healing, and little glimpses of revolution, inside of me and outside of me...right now it's the end of the end, and the beginning(seasonally & symbolically):  
the end of winter is approaching, and all this new life remains just under the surface, waiting to be throttled into life...

I am launching my new website/portal to my work with music, magical gatherings, rituals, healing and more...It feels like a brand new chapter in so many ways (www.messy-magic.com)... more of my passions/visions/dreams certainly want to be throttled into the light...enjoy this deep musical journey from the darkness into the light...

soul music saves lives, yo!

mucho love
Praise Music!

The young producer, Joseph DeFaria aka J•POOL, originally from the south of Canada, has been living a nomadic lifestyle for most of his adult life. Working in the forests of Canada in the summers as a tree planter, and traveling the rest of the year, Joe started his project "J•POOL" with the goal of creating music that is inspired by the many different natural environments in which he spends his life. His intention is to produce music that will make people move and feel the connection to their innerself and the world around them.

The „Awakening“ EP was carefully composed, blending rhythmic and melodic elements from around the world to form a colourful, meditative collage of sound. Soundscapes of natural environments dance with the instrumentation to create a lush, submersing organic experience.


Zeze was created to stimulate the core of our rhythmic nature, exciting an undeniable urge to free your body and mind to move in unison with one another, elevating your vibrational energy to its highest potential

Ecstatic Dance by Nowananda

Nowananda: Shamanic Dance Ritual, Koh Phangan, 2.Mar.2020

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.

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.
