This is the set I played for Ecstatic Dance Cairns first flight out of Cairns, to the Daintree jungle, where the Great Barrier Reef meets the ancient rainforest. Older then the Amazon Rainforest, the Daintree is world-heritage site to the most pristine origins of some of nature's most wild and untouched earth elements. 

As community we gathered, to pray, to dance, to laugh, to release and to celebrate what is is to be humans deeply connected, in these times. With ourselves, our bodies, and all of life and the Earth herself. 

This was the first time an all drug & alcohol free dance event was hosted on this side of the river, and an absolute success for all it's humble heart-centeredness and community it brought together. The first of more to come! And a pleasure to share such intentioned sounds from across the world, with FNQ familia inspired by the rich natural setting. This was an all adult, all adult age demographic, danced barefoot on the earth, ecstatic dance journey!

May this prayer, from the jungle in our backyard, move yours, to a family united, healthfully, happily and whole-heartedly, as I believe we are all destined to be: FREE.

Ecstatic Dance Journey 'In The Daintree' August 2021

"As green streams of fog ascend 
above the noosphere of our wishes, 
Cosmic dust dances 
around one lit mass,
emitting great warmth

Oscillating electrons create 
a rhythmic pulse: a sweet song 
for The Pillars of Creation,

Pendulums of time move forward, 
then back

Sagittarius releases a drawn bow, 
and strikes Antares

Light enfolds 
gently around 
the Horsehead nebula, 
finally comforting
the restless Orion".~E.A.M.

EMILY EMBER is a dancer,  DJ, vocalist and budding music producer/ritual artist known as ‘Spring Jaiah’

Growing up in the bushland of tropical far north-eastern Australia, she spent her twenties travelling the world in pursuit of body-mind healing which revealed the power of practice on intentional dance floors and music can have on community. Since her first event in the area as far back as 2015, in 2021 she founded Ecstatic Dance Cairns, bringing diverse flavours and global rhythms to men and women, through full bodied emotional and danceable journeys moving the FNQ region ever since. She is also a somatic-psychology/BA Psych/Couns student, shamanic practitioner and servant of creating and facilitating safe spaces for self and community transformation.

Some of her music flavours explored in 2025 include afro beats, world, global bass, drum and bass/jungle, melodic & ethnic house plus many more… in effort of fusing sounds from all across the world, from the Africas to the Andes, Bristol to Berlin and beyond in cathartic ritual ecstasy.

Everything Emily does is to serve re-connection of earth-wisdom and sacred remembrance.

We connect and share the DJ sets from live Ecstatic Dance journeys around the world!

All the sets here have been created/recorded at an Ecstatic Dance production with live dancers. Our productions are intentional gatherings, follow an energetic journey-arch, have a minimum time-length or one hour and incorporate professionally curated and mixed global electronic sounds and tracks to uplift the spirit and inspire free-form dancing.

We are an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to inclusivity, and are currently ~100 regular events internationally and growing. Enjoy!

P.S. If you are a DJ or producer posting a live-recorded set and you want a repost, please shoot us a message.

P.S.S. If you feel called to support this free (and freeing!) initiative, no tip is too small via our Venmo. Love you!
