Noku Mana (Huni Kuin)- Haley Harkin w/Marcelo live ceremony recording

Dear Beloveds-
It would do me great pleasure if you were to enjoy this care-fully crafted journey which will slither waves sweetly upon you, and then powerfully crash over you, and again, throughout the next 2 hours. 
Maybe it's a good time for a your own dance party, a hyphee gym or chore sesh, or a space cruise?
Any way~ May your journey be a good one.

Embracer of Waves - Mix  (2 Hour Ecstatic Dance Set)

In a sold out Fluor (Amersfoort The Netherlands) we celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary.

Ecstatic Dance Amersfoort 5 year Anniversary

La La Land soundtrack medley for violin and piano

Ecstatic Waves: Move, Feel, Transform. - GAIA Dome 20.08.2023

"We are being shaken out of the old system. The energy can pull us down if we're not moving it through." 

Integrating live vocals (@jondavidmusic), percussion, and shakers, we journeyed deep within, and came out renewed, transformed and connected. Soooooo MUCH LOVE to the dancefloor who nourished what became of this set. The collective vibe from the dancefloor makes what's found in this live recording impossible to reproduce in a studio! Σας ευχαριστώ (Thank you) Cyprus. "Our hearts are always trying to return home."

Bonze Ceremony

Live recordings from the raw beauty of ceremony

Eden Music is music for the soul. Our purpose is to inspire beauty and to raise the vibrational frequency of humanity through music.

Dutch dj and producer Iradi is one of a kind. In his dj sets he selects both bold and sublime musical choices that create a sound that isn't easily labeled. He mixes all kinds of music into a fresh blend of unique beats, rhythms and melodies, creating a tapestry of music that is captivating, alluring, original and vibrant. 
Traveling through various musical landscapes to guide and surprise the audience, Iradi knows how to engage the crowd while remaining in service to the dancer.

When playing for a crowd, Iradi intuitively senses the audience and is alert and connected to the emotions that are brought in by the dancers. 
Like a therapist, he tunes in, connects, follows and leads. He takes the dancers on a journey to places where they’ve never been before, seducing the audience to go further. Always further into the mystery of the dance.

Iradi is a resident dj at the Dutch Nataraj parties and he was the featured dj at his own club nights in Amsterdam, Iradium and Techno Op Blote Voeten.
He has been involved with Ecstatic Dance Amsterdam since its inception in February 2012. He is now in demand within the Ecstatic Dance Community in different countries around Europe.
