Yesyessss, timee, great production! Some lovely highgrade tunes here

Burning! Great piece of mixing, great tune, smooth transition!

The Eternal Wave was played for the Asheville Movement Collective on Sunday, March 6, 2022. The inspiration for the set was to explore the wave progression commonly used in 5Rhythms and Ecstatic Dance sets and to deepen the structure so that there are waves inside of the waves. This helps to create a more dynamic stuccato and chaos with oscillating genres and moods to keep the dance floor very dynamic.

There are more songs with lyrics in this set than a typical 5Rhythms set. In this case the lyrics tell an important message that I wanted to share. It is a message of hope that embraces love, courage and freedom in a time of conflict and rebirth as winter fades and spring breaks ground.

Thank you for listening, and enjoy the journey within on this Eternal Wave.

Brilliant Light

Recorded live at the Sweet's Ballroom in Oakland, California. Home of one of the first Ecstatic Dance communities, on Sunday, March 10, 2024.

This day was an incredible experience. Though it was only 1 of the 17 dances I played in under 25 days along my West Coast ecstatic dance tour, this one was special. Oakland and Sweet's Ballroom is home to one of the first Ecstatic Dances ever. It was here, inspired by what was originally created at Kalani on the Big Island of Hawaii, that a large enough community was slowly built in the Bay Area of California to inspire others and help spread Ecstatic Dance around the world.

Over the last few years, I have had the privilege to DJ at around 80 Ecstatic Dance communities around the world, and see this widespread ecstatic vibe spread far and wide.

This is why this mix is dedicated to the Oakland community of Ecstatic Dancers. Each part of this set includes themes of Sweet, Oakland, and California. With rap artists such as Too Short, Digable Planets, and Childish Gambino, to wise greats such as Bob Marley, Tems, and Tupac. This set is both high energy and deep and bassy. With lots of lyrics and effects. 

I owe a lot of gratitude to the Oakland dance scene and this was an attempt to give the dancers a great vibe to go wild to. It was a vibe! The day was a big energy and the dancers met with high regard. It was an honor. Thanks to all who were there that day to be a part of the experience and thanks to all the dancers that show up throughout the years from day one until now. You have my heart.

Please share this set, comment on your favorite parts, and follow my profile for more.

Mihai Popoviciu, from Sibiu in Romania, is considered one of the most innovative eastern European producers of electronic music today. He was born in Romania in 1981 and was drawn to the fast-growing rave scene of the 90’s. He started producing music in 2001 being influenced by the techno and house virus and it took many years of experiments until he came up with his first vinyl release on DJ Hell’s imprint Gigolo Records in 2005. 

Since then he has steadily added chapters to his personal success story with solo projects and those with partners like Markus Homm or Jay Bliss. In June 2007, his EP "First Contact" was released on Pascal Feos' label Level Non Zero Recordings. Mihai joined the Highgrade family together with Markus Homm in late 2007 and from then on the duo have had several successful releases on the Berlin based imprint like “Deaf Sniper”, “Lagoon” or “Urban Ballroom”. In 2009 the discographic activity of Mihai got very intense with releases on highly respected european labels such as Fear Of Flying, Hudd Traxx, Bang Bang or Diynamic. The club hit Bis Co (produced together with Markus and Jay Bliss) was featured in all major dance charts across Europe and confirmed once again his fine producing skills. When teaming up with Jay Bliss the duo call themselves Hermannstadt Collective, a dj and producing team that has made big waves on the dance floors all over the world with tracks like “Raw Fruit”, “Thirst Day” or “Safety Match”. Mr. Popoviciu is the kind of producer that likes to innovate and to always refine his varied sound palette surprising the audience in the best way.

It’s not a big surprise that Mihai’s reputation as a DJ grew fast in the past years taking him to Europe’s most important clubs and venues. His flavourous dj sets have a distinctive personal touch delivering you a perfectly balanced mixture of groovy beats, warm pads and musical emotions that will get you addicted.

Of the numerous electronic music talents emergent in Washington, DC, it’s Sarah Myers whose consistency in delivery of “dank, nasty” house and techno sets as transformative experiences makes her a standout. Her name and inimitable style are respected in locales as diverse as Brooklyn, Barcelona, Burning Man and more, which adds to the significance and renown of her work. Furthermore, in the past decade, her determination and passion have matched her growth in talent and skill. This has led to her being a resident at DC-to-worldwide renowned underground hotspot Flash, promote her well regarded “Life” parties, plus host of “Hooked,”, her podcast series featuring DC local talent and a global who’s who of dancefloor titans.

As a DJ, her inspiration comes from the likes of iconic DJ/producer John Digweed, with whom she has also shared a billing. Other notable names with whom Myers has played include Raresh, Delano Smith, tINI, and Bella Sarris.  Overall, Myers’ style of selection is driven by her use of music as a tool for building diverse, small, and tightly knit communities. These sonorous and unique soundscapes are grounded in Myers growing up with parents who were passionate music lovers and vinyl record collectors, plus she counts the violin, flute, guitar, and the recorder as instruments she has learned to play (poorly) throughout her life.

Sarah Myers is a dynamic and determined professional whose career has spanned everything from performing at Boulevard Barcelona, Output NYC, and Space Ibiza to her contribution to help build the underground scene in DC. Sarah, along with her partners at “Life” have hosted legendary worldwide artists including Maya Jane Coles, Josh Wink, Matthew Dear, Steve Bug, Life & Death crew (Tale of Us, Thugfucker, & Clockwork) just to name a few.  On a local, national, and global level, house and techno’s progressive flame cannot continue to ignite without a spark. Whether as a curator or creator, Sarah Myers will, has, and continues to spark the energy that drives the progression of electronic music excellence.
