I recorded this live set during the night between June 28th and 29th at the Sanctuary in Milan.
Unlike last year’s live set, this time I chose to build it with plenty of space for change and improvisation, so it could adapt to each context and stay flexible in structure.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit constrained by sticking to a single genre and fixed BPMs, so I wanted to give myself the freedom to explore different directions and follow more spontaneous impulses.
All the tracks were composed specifically for live set. I’ve also included two pieces from the set I created with Laaar (which we performed for the first time this June at La Nature Festival in Belgium).

Elysium Cast #050 Diereva (Live at Sanctuary, Milano June 29)

Inspired by the poem of Rabindranath Tagore, this opening track acts as an invitation, a quiet message to set the right mindset for the journey ahead.

Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali 35:
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Before It Was Light

I played the first set of the evening of our last Flanieren at club In Transformation formerly known as Kapitel in my hometown Bern/Switzerland. The club will unfortunately close its doors forever. due to lack of financial support from the city of Bern. It's a sad thing and many, many memories of my last 14 years are linked to this place, where I have played a lot, listened to uncountable many Djs, made many many wonderful friends. The owners of the club are souls of gold and their wish for diversity, in every sense, was always present. Their love and passion for music outside of the mainstream is indefinite and I discovered a lot through them, just because they made it possible. Thank You Diego, Mali, Dino for all the work you put into this now sadly lost treasure.

As I mainly play ambient sets nowadays, I did not want to put me under the pressure of finding all new sounds just for one night. But as I have thousands of songs in my library, I picked some I played a lot and some I never played but love a lot. Of course, the list of favourite tracks is multiple times larger than it could be for a set of one and a half hour.. 🙃

Thank you In Transformation. it was truly an honour and you'll stay forever in my heart! ❤️

When I go through my notes, I see like 20 vision boards with "hosting an ecstatic dance in vienna" on it. Ecstatic Dance - dancing freely with a group of people, sober, without talking to anyone, without phones or any other distraction - being with the uncomfortable and joyful and ecstatic feelings that arise ... Being so present with the body and the music is super healing. 

I was living in bali for 2 1/2 years and there I've been going to ecstatic dances every week. It was a journey :) I once witnessed a woman next to me having a full body orgasm and a guy playing weirdly with her energy. It intimidated me wildly and I asked myself where the fuck I did land here :D But I stayed and I wondered: where do I not allow myself to express myself fully? Wouldn't it be cool to feel as alive and joyful in my body as this woman next to me?

A few years and many, many ecstatic dances later I still haven't had a full body orgasm on the dancefloor, but countless deep, meaningful, joyful and alive experiences. I am so happy to share this Set with you that I played at an Ecstatic Dance in Plank am Kamp this late summer.

It did lead to be able to play monthly at an ecstatic dance in vienna - and I am incredibly excited for that :) 

Next dates:
12.10.
2.11.
16.11.
21.12.

Sundays, from 11:00-13:00

Can't wait to dance with you soon!
Lots of love,
Simone
