The roots of my 20+ year journey in ecstatic music and dance connect most deeply in Africa. It was Alvin Ailey that first opened that portal for me. I then trained with an African Drum Troupe from Mali and began playing percussion for modern & contemporary dance classes. 

I translated many years experience of playing drum kit in an improvisational jazz ensemble onto my hand drum excursions exploring mind altering poly-rhythms steeped in shamanism. 

As we speak, there is something novel stirring in Africa at this very moment - A fusion of modern music, ancient rhythms and vocal chants that take the dancefloor to new revelations of insight & expression. 

Africa has always been dancing since time immemorial, to connect with the Higher Power and that energy can be felt in their music. 
Call it amapiano, afrobeat, new age kwaito, juju, gnawa, highlife or Afro-house… 

With 1.3 billion people of all shades, an estimated 2,000 dialects tucked from north to south into 54 countries, Africa’s envied musical offerings are wide-reaching. And there are deep cultural contexts to each evolving genre.

It’s no wonder why most of my dj sets are heavily fertile with African roots. To me, throughout the course of time, this diverse musical lineage has always understood and laid out the template for the POWER of deep ceremony and celebration. 

This Sunday I return to bring my music medicine to Kalani, the place that helped clarify my greatest inspiration - Freeform Dance. 

As always what happens is a co-creation between the dancers, sacred space holders, music facilitators, the ancestors and the elements.

Kalani Ecstatic Dance 7.10.22

Recorded live at Conscious Dance Sedona on October 1, 2022.

The evening took place at Ultimate Light Mission on Saturday night. A newly refurbished venue with beautiful hardwood floors, light projectors, an elixir bar, and a good feel. The same building that used to be 7 Centers Yoga Arts. The very place back in 2007 where I took my first of many Yoga Teacher Training. Which forever changed my life.

It was then in that month-long training that I began my journey of daily yoga practices with a new outlook on life.
It was an honor to share a dance practice and music that I feel is so healing and expansive for all who try it, in a building where I had experiences that help shape who I am today.

I dedicate this mix to my beloved teacher Ruth “Shradha Sagra” Hartung. Who’s teachings of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Astrology inspired me to be who I am today. It was she who gave me my first in-depth foundational teachings to guide me on a lifelong journey. A path I walk today.

This set is made of almost entirely brand new music which came out within days or at most weeks from the event. With some remixed classics and mashups of well-known favorites.

This mix is eclectic. With slow medicine music to start making its way to the first peak of some remixes of well-known American songs with the whole second wave full of bassy bangers leading to the second peak of mashed up oldies but goodies.

Featuring brand new tracks by Temple Step Project, Deya Dova, El Buho Music, ATYYA, Yemanjo, and Barrio lindo.

Enjoy in joy.

Please listen, love, repost, and follow my Soundcloud profile for more good stuff to come.

the Yogabarn Community Sacred Reunion live set - 07 Oct 2022. So Alegria !

YogaBarn - Sacred Relink 07 Oct 2022

The first time I heard the original was in towards the end of my very first Ayahuasca ceremony. After falling through many worlds...landing at the feet of my older wiser self. The me who has been here in this world many times before. The me who has all the wisdom and the ability to live this lifetime to the full...if only I would listen to my deepest core...my deepest inside. The track came as a breath of fresh air blowing all the heaviness of my soul away..."Nothing else matters but you"

Whilst producing this track I spent the majority of the time with tears in my eyes at the remembrance of this night that changed my life forever. The gratefulness that I feel to the Great Mother Aya who came to me and showed me the way. Needless to say my entire soul went into the production of this track and hopefully I conveyed its importance into the genre I love - Organic House

Thank you to Noam from Lemon and Soul for giving me the opportunity to remix this...It means the world

A first collaboration between Marc JB and Benjamin Crystal. Recorded in 2018 in one super channeled session at Velvet Jam Studio. The inspiration came from a mutual love of ecstatic dance and high vibe events. What manifested was a combination of classic house elements with latin, ethnic and tribal flavours to produce a dance floor groover with timeless depth. A sunshine, baseline banger for your all your conscious dance needs and beyond! We're ecstatic to share this with you, here's to the first of many!
