🍫 Ecstatic Dance 🍫

Hi Familia
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!!

The Ecstatic Dance Journey

ecstatic journey

Chill Out

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

Artists in this set:
Herbert Quniteros - Ape Chimba - Raio & Sophie Sofr - JPool - Edem Chante' - Temple Step Project - Akitzzbeatzz - Tikki Masala - Baran Yildiz - Tanya George - Kalya Scintilla - Tactical Groove Orbit - Barbatuques - Afterclapp - Bassnectar - Crywolf - LAOR - Desert Dwellers - Vieux Farka Tuore - Cheb I Sabbah - Karsh Khale - OMNIA - Kodo - Underworld - Digital Samsara - Susheela Raman - Fatoumata Diawara - Ludovico Einaudi - OCO

Sandesh - The Ecstatic Journey n. 23

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!!

Sandesh - The Ecstatic Journey n. 24

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

This is n. 25 and is much more actual then the few last ones.

It is actually the first one played on public in 21/01/22 after being busted in Oct 2021 (see one of the previous sets) and all the restrictions for Covid where lifted in Thailand.

Because of what happened in October we decided to change venue and we started a new series of events called Mystic Tribe Ecstatic Dance.

Since I was continuously collecting music during the cover period but not really playing much that was the occasion for me to play all that new material and change a bit the style to give a new imprint to my sets.

hence, if you follow me, note the difference and please drop a feed back if you feel like!

GUMI Live - Rainbow Serpent Festival 2017 (Chill Out Stage)

This is the ED I played @ Pyramid Yoga in Koh Pangan. It is the latest of a long series of ED I played every week on the Magic Island where, during the whole season, the energy that has gathered around these events has raised beyond everybody's expectations and imaginations!!
Since my very first time playing in Nov 2016 till now the crowd has multiplied exponentially and a lot of other Dance Events of any kind has been created on the island naturally forming an amazing vortex of energy!! 
Most of the time there has been incredibly talented live musicians playing alongside my sets and I feel sorry that their sounds could not be recorded!! I really feel grateful towards all of them for their amazing contribution and energy they added to the sets!!
Without any special order would like to thank:

Aleceo dj set @ Solar Eclipse Ecstatic Dance - Koh Phangan 21-06-2020

This was a "Snake Charmer" edition of Ecstatic Dance I held in Koh PhaNgan Thailand and it was the first public dance event since covid19.

At these special events I play a music journey with more soft, slow, sensual, sacred and shamanic tracks, as well as some upbeat tribal ones.

This time we didn't get to the tribal tracks... ;-)

Profits from this event were donated to "Happy Food" local charity which feeds Burmese people on the island. 
Please consider donating to them:

Ecstatic Dance 🐍Snake Charmer Edition, Koh PhaNgan 4.July.2020

Another dream came true as I played the Sunday noon set at Pyramid Yoga, the biggest Ecstatic Dance venue and event in Koh PhaNgan, where i've been dancing and living for many years.

I was so happy to see the people dance, jump, and shout to the wide-ranging journey of beats-infused world music I played.

A few highlights:
- Beats and Bass-infused vocals and music from Native-american, New-Zealand Mauri, Russian,  Tibetan, Amazonian, Aboriginal Australian, Indian, Turkish, Brazilian, Balkan,  and LOTS of African
- A traditional African acapella, an upbeat electronic remix of it, and samples that return many times during the whole journey
- A few other vocal and melodic African songs
- My newest track, a tribal remix of "Stone gods of Bimini", by Ixtahuele 

Deep gratitude to the dancers, to Jonny, Milenka and Pyramid team, and to the musicians and producers.

NowAnanda: Tribal Ecstatic Dance @Pyramid Koh PhaNgan 22.11.2020

If you know me I need no introduction.... If you don't know me you can ask to those who do know me!!!
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.
