Je Te Laisserai Des Mots - Talia (cover)

I'm still at a loss for words for how well Jessie and my second co-hosted Ecstatic Dance event in Ōtautahi - Christchurch was received. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

On a beautiful wooden floor at St Martins Community Centre, 20-odd dancers from all walks of life gathered to journey, move, express, flow, dance, and explore clarity for the new year together.

A gentler journey than my first high-energy set in December 2022, this time I put together songs that invite you to take it slow while still embodying the energy of summer in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Ecstatic Dance Sessions #2

An ambient mix I created in 2001.
It was originally published on an old finnish deep/dub techno site called betoni (http://betoni.adapteri.com - now defunct) as Betoni #49.

Latenight Solitude in the Hypermodern Urban Core (Betoni #49)

Preach

Haea te ata
Ka hapara te ata
Ka tū te ata
Ko te ata matua
Ka waiora te kutu
Ka korihi te manu
Ka awatea
Haea te ata
The transmission from te pō to te ao mārama, the hourney to enlightenment – ka pō, ka pō, ka awatea.
This album is the second produced under Te Hā o Tahupōtiki and is aptly named Haea Te Ata. The name is a symbolic phrase that refers to the way in which the dawn slices through the womb of Hine-nui-te-pō. In a metaphorical way it is taken from the way in which our tūpuna slit the belly of a barracuda and how the intestines then slid through the belly of the ika.
Haea te ata is one of several stages of transmission from te pō to te ao mārama and is very illustrative of our own transition to enlightenment. the proverb, which appears above describes these stages. It comes from an old chant that was held by Aunty Rima Bell.

Open Your Eyes

Original song by Roseanna Gamlen-Greene © 2011

Doo doo

Open your eyes
Can you see my disguise?
Doo doo
Stop ignoring the facts
I'll just go behind your back
In the night, in the night
It might not be too late,
Don’t sit here awaiting your fate
Doo doo doo something

Open your eyes 
Open your eyes
My grip is tightening
What is done can’t be undone
Don’t regret what you didn’t do
Don’t regret what you didn’t do
Don’t regret what you didn’t do
In time

Open your eyes
Can you feel my disguise?
Doo doo
Stop ignoring the facts
I'll just go behind your back
In the night, in the night
It might not be too late,
Don’t sit here awaiting your fate
Doo doo doo something

I’m all you can see for miles
My black soul suffocates
Lethal to all
Broken lies and mistrust
When will this end?
Do I wana know?

Open your eyes
Tear away my disguise
Doo doo 
Stop ignoring the facts
I'll just go behind your back
In the night, in the night
It might not be too late,
Don’t sit here awaiting your fate
Doo doo doo somethin
