"If you want the moon, do not hide from the night. If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns. If you want love, do not hide from yourself." - Rumi

I am happy to share this set which came together during the height of last night's Full Moon. I was feeling primed and took this cycle as an opportunity for channeled-creativity & sonic meditation which served up an outcome that I am overall pleased with for this 37th entry in the series. That being said, I hope you all find some time to let these sounds take you on an avant-garde, psychedelic, minimal-tech inspired musical journey.

Happy Full Moon! 🌕

To propel us through this catalytic lunar cycle, Petru M | @petrum256 has provided us with a driving, yet somehow ethereal journey through minimal house, complimented by deep & micro-tech sounds. He has recent releases on @interplanetarelab & a VA with @phonichouse1records. Do make sure to show him some love if you enjoy what you hear. 

Keep shining, friends! You are extraordinary. 🌕

November 2021 - Full Blood Moon Eclipse in Taurus

@emmerse of Gravity out of Montgomery, AL has really outdone himself with the intention he put together in this set. A quintessentially smooth mix, full of groovy house, grimey baselines, and hypnotic vocals to take us on a ride through the intensity of this particularly wild lunar cycle.

"A new moon teaches gradualness
and deliberation and how one gives birth
to oneself slowly. Patience with small details
makes perfect a large work, like the universe."

October 2021 - New Moon

Honored to have good friend @mistertrippin take us on a ceremonial ride with minimal, sexy house & tech sounds to honor the New Moon in Libra.  Enjoy with your hearts.

Full Moon in Leo 🌕
February 16, 2022 | 11:56AM EST

Things could feel heightened during this Full Moon, or even extreme - it's a time of expansion and greatly magnified perception. Right now we're able to see the full growth of our intentions - the seeds we planted at the New Moon two weeks ago. 

Today, I welcome Atlanta based duo, @flora_musica to the 51st episode. They have come up with a simply superb way to encapsulate the energy of this Leo Full Moon by offering up a silky smooth backdrop of slower Deep & Organic House textures.

Lunar Expressions | 051 - Flora

I've been hesitant to share this publicly since I recorded it, because I know it's not for everyone. It is truly a sonic experiment that traverses a lot of vibrational terrain ... So I already know not everybody will vibe. 😅 Regardless, I had always told myself that it was only going to be for my ears & personal process, but it felt like the right time to make it public as we are currently in the depths of a Gemini New Moon portal. 🌑  A time for self-advocacy & path-forging. So, here we go. 

I originally recorded this as a means to process the death of my Father, and the near simultaneous birth of my Son, 2 months ago. The mythic-ness of the timing (or lack thereof) between these incredible life-events is something I could have never imagined would be possible, yet they both happened... and I was left in their wake to make sense of it all. There I sat in deep grief, accompanied by an almost overwhelming sense of joy.

In the sparse moments of free-time I was given after Rael was born, I found my fingers gravitating ... almost yearning towards specific sounds, tracks, and samples that truly seemed to resonate with what I was feeling. Lots of Jazz elements that might Father might've enjoyed in his younger years. Sounds ranging from the bold, experimental riffs of Sun Ra & his Arkestra all the way to the intricate, sometimes explosive compositions of King Crimson. 

There are obscurely minimal, yet melodic structures throughout, though they always find their resolution. I also utilized a good bit of manual pitch manipulation as a means to affect the overall emotional theme, which definitely causes certain tracks to become something else entirely. There are meditative, ambient spaces littered with symphonic over-tones that, at times, become encumbered by chaos & dissonance. The dissonance, I believe to be useful in that the energy of chaos is always followed by a release & surrender into stillness. So, somehow, if you are willing to ride it out, you can find yourself floating in a bed of feathers on the other-side of what might seem an unbearable experience. It's all purposeful.
Another piece to this set's curation is that, while it was coming together, I had envisioned a very intentional space within which it would be listened. A room full of candles ... or perhaps a crackling fire under a Full or New Moon, such as this one. A bowl of copal burning off to the side. A ceremonial circle of individuals gathered with the intention of healing, mending, and perhaps spelunking the depths of their psyche, aided by their medicine of choice. This set, of course, as the backdrop for the experience. 

Truly, it gets weird, and there is real opportunity to evoke the ancient, embodied-self. As the curator of this experience, I find within it ample opportunities for exploration of the mind, a disillusionment of self, and perhaps a re-imagining of one's own internal landscape. A re-visioning of what is possible to perceive as a human-being processing the shape of life. Maybe you'll find something different. Either way, I hope you enjoy the ride, and perhaps receive something of value from the journey. 

If you've taken the time to read this much, I assume you are a supporter of what I do ... and for that I am eternally, profoundly grateful. 🙏🏾

Live recording of my Opening Set for Sol Dance Presents: "Cacao Dance with MOSE".  

So grateful to @mosemusica of @resuenomusic + Bruna, Setesh, & Brielle for bringing the spirit of Cacao medicine to Sol Dance here in Atlanta, GA! 

Enjoy with your hearts, friends. 🙏🏾

Opening Set for MOSE at Sol Dance - May 12, 2023

Lion's Gate Blessings to all.

In numerology, the number eight is symbolized by the infinity symbol (∞) and represents themes of reflection, balancing, opportunity, optimism, and transformation.

My intention with recording this set was to evoke a summation of the experiences we shared together on the dance floor over the course of 2023.

In this 1 hour set, I curated a variety of sounds & moments that I do believe many of you would find an embodied sort of familiarity in + It is my hope that all of you will be able to - in essence - practice, relive & share in those same instances of sonic intelligence with others, outside of Sol Dance. That being said, may each of you continue to thrive & enjoy with your hearts this quintessentially circular journey through light, sound & embodiment. More music to come.

Quintessential Sun

Opening Set for Liquid Bloom & Savej at Sol Dance: Pollinate - May 4, 2024

The clock had just struck midnight, and the energy was high! Everyone was joyously celebrating & yelling alongside the cacophony of djembes & shakers pulsating together in unison.

We had all just jumped through the threshold of the new year as a community after a ritual releasing of 2024 and the simultaneous, intentional 'calling in' of our blessings for 2025. An incredible way to celebrate the New Year in Atlanta!

My set began the moment the drums stopped playing and thus it was my intention to maintain the energy we had all created instead of letting it fall away. While this isn't representative of the typical way I'd begin a set of Ecstatic Dance, I found it to be a beautifully liberating ride through the energetics of joy, intensity, playfulness, sensuality, and grace. The set itself became a powerful vessel for the community to transmute their intentions for 2025 onto the dance-floor as we rode the waves together.

Happy New Year Year, family.

May you enjoy this dance - again and again - with your hearts aglow! ❤️

Sol Dance NYE 2024 | THRESHOLD

The 5Rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness - Together they create a wave of energy.

5R Teacher Training

Full Circle | 5Rhythms Wave

Warming up is important. And let's face it, sometimes we just need a few extra moments to drop into any movement-based experience. Let this wave act as a reminder of just how possible those moments of dropping in can be. Give yourself the space to fall into each rhythm as it shows up. Honor each of those body-parts, and let your dance take the shape it needs to for you to TRULY arrive in any space or dance-floor! 

Thanks for listening & Thanks for dancing!

A Warm Up | 5Rhythms Wave

Slow Drip Moon Medicine

<Full Moon in Gemini>

In this 4th Volume of Lunar Expressions, I decided to slow things down a bit. We are coming upon the winter months and introspection through these vibrational portals are heightened. Thus I created this set in honor of the final Full Moon of a decade - Synchronistically rising at 12:12 AM EST on 12/12/19. 

I feel honored that I have been able to surround myself locally with such amazing musicians willing to contribute their vocals & instrumentals towards the creation of this set - Alberto Roman, Maya Lemberg, @mia-azani, Scott Buck, @yoelbenyehuda aka TUFOE. In addition to some fine selections from a couple of my favorite labels @heimlichaufsc & @drosssel ⚡️

May you enjoy this ritual composition with your heart. Thank you for listening! Next episode to be posted during the December 26th New Moon!

"Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that - energy, waves, patterns, & rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance." - Gabrielle Roth

In this 5Rhythms wave, I offer a succinct and seamless journey with adequate transition time for exploration between each embodied state of being: Flow - Staccato - Chaos - Lyrical - Still.  Use those transitional moments to your benefit by softening, breathing, and allowing the body to use it's own inherent wisdom to open up into the next process.

Ultimately, it is my hope that this wave can & will be used to catalyze your dance in new and profound ways. 

As always, thank you for your support by listening, commenting, & sharing. Most importantly, Thank you for committing to this 5Rhythms practice by dancing your self from the inside out!

From the Inside Out | 5Rhythms Wave

My recorded set, live from Chosewood Ballroom with Ecstatic Dance Atlanta on a crisp January day in 2020. 

Before the dance started, I had the opportunity to facilitate the opening circle where I asked dancers to envision an intention for what they see being cultivated during this dance - and throughout, giving their bodies the permission to truly inhabit those intentions to the fullest capacity. 

May this embodied journey serve in all the ways you require.

Thank you for listening & dancing 🙏🏾⚡️

Originally curated & recorded for the Asheville Movement Collective during the Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius on 6/5/20.

"Dance is us. Dance is resistance. It is our bodies telling us how to move. Music and movement are one, they exist together in partnership. It is survival, it is resistance, it is our existence. Without dance there is no revolution."
