That last weekend of August 2021 I drove from Amsterdam to Paris to play for Ecstatic Dance Paris. I have known Virginie Brune Fluidity for a while and we had reached out to each other in the past, but a collaboration with Ecstatic Dance Paris never materialised. 
I must have been crazy to embark on this adventure in times of travel restrictions, testing stress and my extremely full planner, but for some reason it felt urgent. Was it instinct or was it pride that made it feel so urgent to me.
I arrived in Paris on Saturday evening. Our host was Dorothée Michaud. We talked about how hard it is now to organise these events of movement and connection. 
Some people say it is frivolous and not a necessity, for me dancing is my life. For many people dancing is so much more than just fun. It is almost like praying, making a deeper and truer connection to yourself. There is a deep tribal and ancestral element to it. When a group of people move together to the same repetitive beat, something special happens, something transformative happens. 
Dorothée and Virginie told me that this could very well be the last ED in Paris in this form and shape, because in France from 1 September you will need something similar to the vaccination passport to participate in anything. 
The dancers were ready. From the first note of my set, they went in, fully. Following my flow as I was building. Then I was speeding up, with vocals only and when I dropped that first beat, the whole room screamed, flooding me with all the emotions that were held inside. I cried. I mourn for the loss of freedom and free choice. I mourn for the deceased and sick people. I mourn for the chaos and suffering and I mourn for the loss of dancing.
 I mourn and I celebrate. 
I celebrate this epic moment when collective pain is expressed and danced with, so it will not eat away at the inside as much. 
I celebrate dance and connection, something that for me, is as important as any basic need.
The dancers did not hold back, fully engaging and going with everything that I offered them: Trance, house, metal, medicine music, jazz. 
Every transition, every change in direction or intensity was followed, like rollercoaster cars follow the track. They took it like it was their last dance.
Dancing deep and intensely. Faces and bodies full of all possible emotions. Children dancing and flying through the air. A 98 year old woman dancing on her feet and in a chair. 
This might have been the most intense and most emotional dance I ever played for. 
Whether it was a deeper calling or my lust for crazy adventures that got me there, I am glad that I was there.

Equinox 22.9.21

The Equinox is a time of balance and stillness. Grandmother Earth and her worlds are in an equal amount of day and night, outward action and internal reflection. This balance creates a pause, a stillness. We feel this type of pause with every breath, the moment our inhale turns and becomes an exhale.When we are rooted in our pausing with balance and stillness, we become a space of equilibrium that, like a tuning fork, can support others to pause and find their balance.Let's balance our inner night and day.Let's use our darkness to become the most magical light.

The recording is a live recording after a cacao-ritual on the first day at Retreat:Magika at Haarberghof/Austria. Thank you to all who made this gathering possible in difficult times and deep gratitude with all my heart for the wonderful music I was allowed to use here.

Movimento De Medicina #2 🌵 Sacred Tribal & Medicine Beats

This night was so magical, I have no words... The Netherlands are many times called the walhalla of Ecstatic Dance, with so many ED's (and dj's) for such a small country. This Night many of those dutch dance tribes gathered in the epicentre, Ecstatic Dance Amsterdam. We started with a beautiful, heart opening Cacao Ceremony and when the medicine entered, the journey started...
Feel the music, feel the vibe of the dancers and fall into a trance...dance...

Yonder  ✨ SACRED JOURNEY ✨ Opening To Spirit

Exactly one year after the last fullminate spectacle at the lake, the doors opened again for another journey into the ecstatic world of dance. Under the motto Interdependacne, dance-lovers and travelers met on the meadow for a joint excursion to explore the interrelationship between people and music and to let go of everything that could hinder a harmonious relationship and becoming free in the moment. Thank you to the makers - thank you to the dancers and special thanks to all those who have led us to where we are now - love & respect.

Andi Rietschel

in 1950  the german Erika Engel wrote christmas joy
a peaceful christmas song


If the lights are lit, joy moves into every room.
Christmas joy is proclaimed under every tree of lights.
Shine, light, with bright glow,
everywhere, everywhere shall be joy.

Sweet things, beautiful gifts now go from hand to hand.
Every child shall have joy, every child in every land.
Shine, light, with bright shine!
Everywhere, everywhere shall be joy.

When the lights are lit, every room is illuminated.
Christmas peace is proclaimed, goes out into all the world.
Shine, light, with a bright glow!
Everywhere, everywhere shall be peace.

_______________________

Sind die Lichter angezündet, Freude zieht in jeden Raum.
Weihnachtsfreude wird verkündet unter jedem Lichterbaum.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein,
überall, überall soll Freude sein.

Süße Dinge, schöne Gaben gehen nun von Hand zu Hand.
jedes Kind soll Freude haben, jedes Kind in jedem Land.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein!
Überall, überall soll Freude sein.

Sind die Lichter angezündet, rings ist jeder Raum erhellt.
Weihnnchtsfriede wird verkündet, zieht hinaus in alle Welt.
Leuchte, Licht, mit hellem Schein!
Überall, überall soll Friede sein.

Agradeciendo en primer lugar a todos los artistas, magos y alquimistas que han tejido con su música y medicina para que esta jornada musical pueda nacer, me regocijo en alegría y resonancia al poner en servicio estas dos horas de bálsamo para el alma y el cuerpo.

Con gratitud recibo y con amor comparto.
Qué resuenen mis aguas es el resultado de un proceso de vida que culmina para renacer en otra etapa crucial. El propósito es dar a conocer más y más esta música y nuevos artistas que con sus aguas ponen a bailar mis aguas.

El tracklist lo compartiré pronto, sin embargo, doy especial agradecimiento a Resueño que con su último album Cacao y la sinergia de mucho(a)s artistas prominentes, inspiró parte de esta jornada.
Agradezco mi disposición y amor puesto para que muchas de nuestras aguas se encuentren y entrelacen y bailen en Gran amor cósmico.

Resuenan Mis Aguas @(Sensorial Movement)

The New Moon in Gemini was Saturday, June 17th at 10:37 PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT).

This is an excellent moon for setting strong intentions around practical projects, business endeavors, and social collaboration. The new moon supports intuitive decisions and is very auspicious for inspired and productive new ideas, cooperative relationships and negotiating contracts and agreements. Remember to focus on the big picture and not the clumsy details.

The energy is quick and fast moving which some of you welcome but may be uncomfortable for others so honor the diversity of timing and flow and stay out of judgment. Watch your words, think before you speak and allow others to have the “time” the way that is comfortable for them. It is a time for being creative, inventive, forward-thinking and intuitive in your choices with lots of support for moving in the right direction. Engage in social activity, enjoy your community and have some fun!
