Dance In the Garden With the Gods - Ecstatic Dance Byron Mix

That last weekend of August 2021 I drove from Amsterdam to Paris to play for Ecstatic Dance Paris. I have known Virginie Brune Fluidity for a while and we had reached out to each other in the past, but a collaboration with Ecstatic Dance Paris never materialised. 
I must have been crazy to embark on this adventure in times of travel restrictions, testing stress and my extremely full planner, but for some reason it felt urgent. Was it instinct or was it pride that made it feel so urgent to me.
I arrived in Paris on Saturday evening. Our host was Dorothée Michaud. We talked about how hard it is now to organise these events of movement and connection. 
Some people say it is frivolous and not a necessity, for me dancing is my life. For many people dancing is so much more than just fun. It is almost like praying, making a deeper and truer connection to yourself. There is a deep tribal and ancestral element to it. When a group of people move together to the same repetitive beat, something special happens, something transformative happens. 
Dorothée and Virginie told me that this could very well be the last ED in Paris in this form and shape, because in France from 1 September you will need something similar to the vaccination passport to participate in anything. 
The dancers were ready. From the first note of my set, they went in, fully. Following my flow as I was building. Then I was speeding up, with vocals only and when I dropped that first beat, the whole room screamed, flooding me with all the emotions that were held inside. I cried. I mourn for the loss of freedom and free choice. I mourn for the deceased and sick people. I mourn for the chaos and suffering and I mourn for the loss of dancing.
 I mourn and I celebrate. 
I celebrate this epic moment when collective pain is expressed and danced with, so it will not eat away at the inside as much. 
I celebrate dance and connection, something that for me, is as important as any basic need.
The dancers did not hold back, fully engaging and going with everything that I offered them: Trance, house, metal, medicine music, jazz. 
Every transition, every change in direction or intensity was followed, like rollercoaster cars follow the track. They took it like it was their last dance.
Dancing deep and intensely. Faces and bodies full of all possible emotions. Children dancing and flying through the air. A 98 year old woman dancing on her feet and in a chair. 
This might have been the most intense and most emotional dance I ever played for. 
Whether it was a deeper calling or my lust for crazy adventures that got me there, I am glad that I was there.

This night was so magical, I have no words... The Netherlands are many times called the walhalla of Ecstatic Dance, with so many ED's (and dj's) for such a small country. This Night many of those dutch dance tribes gathered in the epicentre, Ecstatic Dance Amsterdam. We started with a beautiful, heart opening Cacao Ceremony and when the medicine entered, the journey started...
Feel the music, feel the vibe of the dancers and fall into a trance...dance...

Magic Vibes live tribal celebration at the Unicorn club,Israel

Akasha is the third offering of the Kuya Sessions. Cura led us on a shamanic journey of body-centered awareness. Our journey continued in Samadhi, unifying individual and universal consciousness. We are now prepared to enter the exquisitely ethereal realm of Akasha. The gentle welcoming melody in “Path of Illumination” relaxes us in preparation for our journey. Vocalist Meagan Chandler sings four of the ninety-nine names of Allah as Poranguí sings four names of god in different African traditions. This invocation, joining male and female and diverse cultural traditions, serves as a prayer for protection as we gradually remove the veil and dissolve into the cosmic memory of divine consciousness. We are becoming formless, egoless, as we float in the liminal space between life and death. The cosmos slows down. Vulnerable and open to the benevolent pulse of the universe, we are drawn into the inner sanctum of the akashic womb. 

In “Eternal Horizons” a soothing female voice, accompanied by cello and piano, sings a sailor’s folk song, guiding us deeper into the sea of love and loss, encouraging us to surrender more, to shed that which no longer serves. We know that we must let go in order to move on, that we must metaphorically die in order to be reborn, the eternal return. As we sail towards the event horizon and pass the point of no return, we are greeted by a gentle male voice that embraces us in compassion as it slowly delivers us to a brand new world, where we are bathed in peace, love, and understanding. 

It is time to come home to the “Heart of the Mother,” where we can integrate our cosmic journey in the warm arms of our beloved Pachamama. From our experience of ethereal awareness, we have come to truly know in the deepest depths of souls that everything is being held as is meant to be, that we are safe and whole, that we are protected by the supreme love of energetic forces that lie beyond the beyond. We see that our own capacity for love, as fragile as our earthly bodies and yet as infinite as the akashic realm of which it is a part, makes an essential contribution to the unfolding divine plan.

Embedded within the sonic signature of the world’s oldest musical lineages and enhanced with field recordings and samples from across the globe, Kuya Sessions: Akasha is best experienced in its Journey Mix format, where the boundaries between the three movements are as ephemeral as the voyage itself. In preparation for embarking on this ritualistic path, one is invited to create an environment for inner-exploration with the help of a quiet and dark room, headphones, an eye mask, and an intention of healing and discovery. 

Akasha draws upon a grounding array of ancient instruments, field recordings, Celtic runes, and therapeutic musical stylings while showcasing Poranguí and Liquid Bloom’s magical, multi-dimensional sound. Distilled from the intention of providing listeners a path toward healing and a safe space from which to embark on that odyssey, Kuya Sessions: Akasha will continue to reveal itself with each subsequent visit for all who desire its therapeutic guidance. 

The Kuya Sessions were created by Poranguí and Liquid Bloom for Kuya, in support of paradigm-shifting medicine and therapeutics to help people transform their lives into lives they love. Akasha offers seekers a soundtrack for their journeys toward rebalancing, and is now lovingly shared with listeners everywhere on behalf of Kuya and the artists.
