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).

“Release Youth” from Sasha Smirnova’s record Gone Stray. Built around a simple, repetitive melody, the track combines bass-heavy minimalism, trap-inspired hi-hats, and field recordings. Calm on the surface but unsettling in tone, it lingers in tension and restraint.

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
