Deep Trance

I'm excited to share that my new ambient album “Ocoyo” is out on Desert Trax today, which is a tribute to the incredible bio diversity of the jungles of Guatemala and rainforest of Ecuador, and the teachings I've received from various lineages. Through this music, I aim to express my deep appreciation for the natural beauty of our planet. This album is dedicated to Delfin & Cesario Piaguaje of the Siekopai tribe, true masters of the Amazon, who have blessed me with their wisdom in the Maloka. The essence of the lotus, the rose, as well as other plants and fungi, have been woven into the fabric of each track on this album. I am grateful for the wisdom and guidance of these allies, and for their assistance in the creation of this music. I am continually in awe of the incredible power and knowledge that can be found within the plant kingdom. 

All tracks produced and mixed by Iyakuh.

Iyakuh - Ocoyo Album (( Journey Mix ))

ENVISION FESTIVAL - ECSTATIC DANCE
(edit. Sat, 9 March: Renamed set "JUNGLE PRAYER ECSTATIC DANCE". Thank you everyone for the feedback. Your dance in the jungle was juicey.  The set was a collective somatic prayer, an embodiment and a devotion to the dance as medicine).

And like all my ecstatic dance mixes, this is a raw portrait of the dance floor before me,  each set experienced as a unrehearsed, spontaneous collaboration with the dancers. But on this particular night in the jungle I had and agenda: Peace, prayer, healing, tribe, remembrance, beauty, home.

Envision Festival was the apotheosis of what a dance floor can do, and how far it can go as collective cathartic release: It was a total hot, sweaty meltdown of a trust fall.  

p.s. DJing ecstatic dance at a festival generally requires getting down to business from the get-go. Unlike indoors, these dances compete with other stages, are a porous container, comers-and-goers, talking on the dancefloor....and this also makes it special and surprising for the uninitiated.

p.s. If there is a specific track you want to know about, pm me. It will tell me that you listened.

Danza #Sufi

On a peak Summer's night in the misty coastal forests of Oregon (USA)... 400 souls commenced in a mushroom-cacao journey that span over 6 DJ/Producers - riding the waves of the 5 rhythms. The set was opened with a 12 piece choir (un-recorded) to share a vision of the abundance of heaven on earth. 

I offer this live-set as an activation, a prayer, a remembrance to celebrate life, culture, community and dive deep into the depths of what this great mycelial network has to offer us.

Organic Medicina | Downtempo Journey Mix

We brought in the New Year surrounded by the majestic energy of Peru’s Sacred Valley, where the music of Liquid Bloom wove an immersive sonic journey of connection and celebration, with the Live vocals from Onanya. This special evening was more than just a performance - it was a gathering of medicine community and family, a sacred container to honor the passing year and welcome the next with intention, joy, and unity.

Let the ethereal blend of organic textures, ancient rhythms, and heart-opening melodies guide you through a transformative dance of sound and spirit. With the Andes as the backdrop and the embrace of kindred souls, this New Year’s Eve was an unforgettable ceremony of love, gratitude, and renewal.

Join us as we bridge the worlds of shamanic traditions and modern beats, celebrating life under the stars in one of the most magical places on Earth; a celebration of music, medicine, and the power of community. 🌟🌿🌀

Desert Dwellers - Gratitude Yoga Flow

This may be the first official Ecstatic Dance set Amani has posted; "these dances are so enjoyable for me to play, as they require a wide range of styles in order to take the dancers in a bell curve flow.  I really love weaving lots of styles into one set.  Last fall 2017 I recorded my sets from Maui Dance Church, Salt Lake City, and San Diego at Trilogy, but after reviewing them all I settled on this one from Boulder on Feb 6th which was part of a benefit event to help the wildfire victims. I will post the rest on the DD Patreon page though if you are looking for more."

Liquid Bloom DJ Set @ Rhythm Sanctuary, Jan 2nd 2020 - Ecstatic Dance

This song is designed to help facilitate a deep state of divine meditation and is tuned to A=444Hz/C=528Hz, a musical scale known to have been created (or rediscovered) by Pythagoras. 

The subtle sine wave of 111Hz is playing throughout the song, 111Hz is known for having regenerative properties, as well as generating a reaction that results in a deep, divine level of meditation that brings a sense of oneness, or connectedness with the Universe or with God.

Deeply Divine Meditation ✧ 111Hz ✧ Regenerative Deep Healing Ambient Meditation Music

The Lotus Flower grows in the deep mud, away from the sun. But, soon, the Lotus reaches the golden sunlight blooming into a beautiful flower. An effective analogy for the human condition, 
the Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth.

Golden Lotus in 432Hz ✧ Self-regeneration and Rebirth

"The incoming breath brings in all the positive things outside me,
And permeates the whole nervous system of my body;
Like the rays of the morning sun dispelling the darkness,
It soothes pain and temporary discomfort.

As I retain the breath, let me sustain,
The vital energy of wakefulness and alertness,
Enabling me to let go and forgive the past,
And to enjoy the fresh manifestation of this bare moment.

My outgoing breath releases all feelings,
Of tension, anger, stress, anxiety, and worry;
Like the masses of dark clouds suddenly disappearing,
Let the adventitious circumstances elapse to dawn a new beginning.

Breathing and observing the bare moments of awareness,
Without assuming what it will become,
May I live every moment with pristine awareness,
Without waiting for an unforeseen future to cultivate it."

~Lama Choedak Rinpoche
