Let's put it this way: .... everybody knew that we were entering another period of lockdown from the day after without an ending date!
Ahead of us was an uncertain period without dances.
On top of that, at the end of the dance the Premiere of the amazing movie "ECSTATIC DANCE" shot on Koh Phangan and created by Antonio was supposed to be shown. 
you can watch it here ....

After more then a year in the making and involving loads of us from the Koh Phangan ED community there was great excitement in the air.

I came totally unprepared for this journey and for that was feeling a bit uncomfortable but at the same time sensing the expectations from the ppl for a proper powerful and crazy releasing journey. 
It was like ... we do not know what will happen next so we need to give all of ourselves to this journey, scream out our frustration and dance through the whole spectrum of our emotions!!
I started and ... let go!
What happened next, during the journey, just blowed my mind, sometimes i was looking around me asking myself "what TH is going on here?" .... ppl really went fully crazy, first time in my ED history I have seen ppl dancing on the subs!! ... the more I was building up the more ppl were responding and getting high, demanding for more and creating and amazing vortex of energy.
In few words, not any more a dance floor but a "dream floor"..... dream of any dj to have such a crowd, fully present, fully total and fully playful.
As i said to many after, I was feeling like driving a train at full speed but without rails ... lol
note that the beginning include an intro of contact impro and facilitation into movement!!
Would love to thanks all those who made this journey magic, dancers, musicians, facilitators, helpers and on top al the amazing artists present on this set, they are the core of the music we dance and we all fly with.
Please support them in any way you can!!

SANDESH - The Wild Ride - Ecstatic Dance @ Jaran's - Koh Phangan 9/4/21

Here is another Ecstatic Set I have been playing during this weird endless lockdown here in Koh Phangan.
That means we were in a private villa with limited amount of selected friends and trying to stay on a low profile.
I started to play keeping the volume low but the energy of the dancers took me away and got lost in the "zone" a space where time disappears and everything flows on it own accord perfectly, the energy raised to a peak, everybody started to let go, release and scream and of course short after .... neighbors showed up complaining!! 
Luckily I was already on my way to slow down so it did not really affected the journey itself!!
Thanks a lot to all those who were there celebrating life, Marco for offering his villa, Dani for playing congas, Olivia with her singing bowls and of course all the artists present in this set!!
Love & Blessings to All

SANDESH - Just Another Ecstatic Evening

Hi FAMILIA … here is my second intuitive and improvised recording called STEP OUT of THE BOX.
In this series I just start to play and listen some new music and recall some old, practicing mixing and transitions while recording.
No structure, no preparation, no playlist, no goals just pure freedom and inspiration ....... just trying to keep it chilled!
Exploring my collection and allowing myself to go wherever I feel in the moment as well as making mistakes.
Nobody listening, nobody really playing!!
No pressure of pleasing anybody or making anybody dance!!
….
Ended up discovering some great new tunes that would have otherwise got lost in the mess of countless folders as well as some old gems (I am such a mess!!)

Hope you enjoy my journey, if please leave a feed back or share it!!
LOVE U ALL

Mike's Birthdayset 2022

Recording from 
THE LIGHT WITHIN ~
A Winter Solstice ~ Somatic Sound Experience
Sound Spheres, aka Ben Last ( Temple Step ) & Madhu Honey, invite you to receive a beautifully woven experience that takes you on an inner pilgrimage of sound through the elements. Incorporating Sound Healing, Guided Meditation, and Somatic Sensing (a deeper embodiment of listening).
The experience will be a multi-layered
Sound bed infusing the intelligence of Binaural Beats sound technology ( using Brian Waves, Theta & Alpha ) to ultimately guide you into a deep, relaxing flow state.
Through the Elemental Soundscape, you will experience the power of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether, each correlating to the chakra-tuned root notes, facilitating deep integration, transformation, and renewal.
Whilst Ben weaves his sonic wizardry with audio technology, pioneering the future of sound healing using Ableton Live, Effects, and Midi controller keyboards, Madhu brings her multilayered voice of the cosmos, guided meditation, and percussion.

Sound Spheres (Temple Step x Madhu Honey) Live -  21 June 2022

Recorded live on the Odessa Boat in Amsterdam on August 5, 2022. My debut set in Amsterdam.

This set is almost entirely brand new music! Released within days or at most a few weeks of this dance experience. 

It was an honor and pleasure to be the captain of the dance on the famed Odessa Boat. Where we are onboard a boat in an Amsterdam canal.

The Netherlands is actually below sea level and on the inside of the boat, we are halfway submerged under the water when on the dancefloor. We could see the water level out of the round windows until they were too steamy to see out of because of the juicy dance vibes.

The first wave of this set is a soulful selection of steady-beat songs. Where we rode the rhythm and got into the flow. The second wave is a Bass heavy deep dive into ice cracking, glitchy, tidal waves of juicy vibrations pouring down like rain and finally drops into melty, gooey goodness. We washed back up like on a sea shore together feeling cleansed and purified.

The night began with a cacao ceremony song circle on the upper deck with the incredible Leonie Bos and concluded in the depths of the dancehall with some sweet songs afterward as well. 

This set includes artists such as Sol Selectas, SavaBorsa, Deya Dova, Clozee, Scott Nice, Populous, Ayla Nereo, Ayla Shafer, and a James Brown remix.

Hey Family 
It is Saturday and here is my new Ecstatic Dance Upload as promised.

This is n. 24 played at Jaran's Yoga on 31/7/2020

I again listen to it and ...... hufff, what a journey!!
It feels so much time has passed since but ultimately music has no time!!
Sweet reminder ... Ecstatic Dances happen in the moment and the vibe that is created in that moment can never repeat or can never be fully transmitted through any recording!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@

In the past years I have been hosted, facilitated and held countless Ecstatic Dance Journeys ....

I started my Ecstatic Dance Journey in 2008 at the very beginning of the now famous Yoga Barn in Bali, then in 2016 I gave birth to the Sunday Mornings Dances at Pyramid Yoga in Koh Phangan and the Evening Friday dances in Jaran's.
Consistently started to record my sets (or almost) only in 2017/18.

I will try now to upload one every Saturday starting from those days ...... raw as they are (as I do not even re listen to them before uploading them!!)

Follow me in my Ecstatic Journey and let's see where we will end up ....
(to date ...with one set every week we will have more then 2 years to explore in front of us!)
Hope you will enjoy this journey with me!!
❤ U ALL

Sandesh - The Ecstatic Journey n. 24

Sharing Love & Passion through music at 360°

Sandesh aka Psymbosis has been involved in the music world since more then 3 decades. In the 90s he was playing and sharing his tunes and vibe in events within the Osho Commune international in Pune as well as in beaches and parties in Goa, at that time mixing on DAT tapes and Minidisks. 
From Ambient music until the latest innovative Experimental Electronic passing through all the possible ranges and styles, he has explored them all!! 

After a gap in the early 2000's exploring different realms of his creative expressions, he has been deeply involved in the music scene of South East Asia, sharing his passion in beaches and jungles parties as well as Clubs and International Festivals. 
He has ben playing in all the main venues in Goa, Koh Phangan, Bali as well as many of the main Music Festivals around the world! … to mention some: 
BOOM festival (PG)
MODEM Festival ( CR)
OWN SPIRIT Festival (SP)
ZNA Gathering (SP)
EXPERIENCE Festival (TH)
SUNSHINE Festival (JP)
CHILL OUT PLANET (RU)
IMAGINARIA (IT)
& more …. 

He can play music and styles at 360° ranging from Meditative Shamanic Ambient, Chill and Alternative, Ecstatic Dances until Night Forest Psy and everything in btw. 

He is constantly pushing the limits of what is playable creating “journeys” full of surprises. 
His various and versatile style can fit any crowd at any hour at any kind of event! 

He silently contributed to the expansion of the Ecstatic Dance Movement in Asia being one of the first to bring it in the now famous Bali Yoga Barn in early 2000s and subsequently giving birth to the event "RISE" Ecstatic Dance at Pyramid Yoga and the Fridays Ecstatic dances at AUM  on the Island of Koh Phangan. 
In both cases the concept and the events he created has grown exponentially up to the point that are now well established in the Ecstatic Dance scene worldwide attracting hundreds of dancers from all over the planet. 

He plays music in a very versatile and various ways such that his alter-ego named Psymbiosis (Maharetta Records) is present in the International Underground scene sharing his passion and his vibrant energy.
