I recorded this Ecstatic Dance live in Sol y Luna (Tenerife) before ROAMAN's concert. This was a very special event that is very close to my heart. Good memories, enjoy <3

Ecstatic Dance Ritual (Live Recording) - JANKA @ ROAMAN Concert in Sol y Luna, Tenerife (01.06.24)

OM JAM ECSTATIC SET (Oct 4)

This set follows a special theme. It's a theme I've approached a few times before, but this is the most definitive version. This conclusion to the "mystic's trilogy" is some of my finest work. I suggest setting aside some time and space to be fully absorbed if you intend to experience it.

The word which I believe best describes the feeling that drove the creation of these three sets would be the concept of "sehnsucht," defined below.

---

Sehnsucht

Origin: German

Meaning:
A deep, almost painful longing for something distant, indefinite, or unattainable — often something idealized, beyond ordinary experience. It’s not just wanting a thing, but yearning for an essence or state of being that feels just out of reach (like another world, time, or version of life).

Tone: Romantic, spiritual, existential, sometimes nostalgic.

Example use:
“The music filled her with Sehnsucht — a yearning for a place she couldn’t name, but somehow remembered.”

Closest English approximations: longing, yearning, wistfulness, desire for the infinite.

"The Mystic's Final Valley" - Ecstatic Dance San Francisco (Ecstatic Dance DJ Set, 9/7/2025)

Lose Yourself – in Love

This set was born under the stars at the season-closing Ecstatic Dance at Soundgarden, Arillas – Corfu, Greece.

Each time I create a set, I begin with an intention - a vibration, a prayer in motion. It’s my way of tuning into what life is whispering through me at that moment. When you dance to my music, you’re not just hearing sounds - you’re feeling the echoes of what has been moving in my heart and soul. For this one, the intention was different. It wasn’t about reflecting a passing emotion - even though joy has been flowing strongly in me lately. It was meant as a musical & emotional mirror for the entire year at the Soundgarden - a year of deep dances, laughter, tears, silence, and connection.

The Soundgarden is more than a place to me. It’s a living field of energy -  a sanctuary for movement, healing, and awakening. The Ecstatic Dances we share there are not just events… they are ceremonies of freedom and remembrance.
This set carries the essence of that journey -  weaving together melodies and rhythms that have accompanied us through the season. Earlier this year, while in Bali, I created a track called “Love Yourself”, a mantra in sound and an anchor for my creative path.

Now, as the circle closes for this year, a new intention arises:
Lose Yourself – in Love.

May this music guide you to surrender, to dissolve the edges of the self, and to remember - we are all dancers in the great rhythm of Love.

Aho! 🌺

DJ Quintessence (Lexi Battle, she/her) is one of the most diverse and musically nuanced acts you’ll find performing today. In addition to being a lead DJ and organizer of the “Ecstaturday” Ecstatic Dance in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, she is also a resident DJ in partnership with The Omni Movement, a progressive partner dance studio located in Oakland. You’ll most commonly find her playing for Fusion Dance, Brazilian Zouk, or West Coast Swing around the Bay Area, though she also holds passion for her unique take on club-style EDM. As a highly multidisciplinary DJ and music producer, she brings lessons and influences from each of the music scenes she’s involved with into all of the others, giving her a unique perspective that allows her to hybridize the elements that work from the different scenes and let them inform each other.


Quintessence is a master of the intentional dance journey. She begins with tempos and rhythms designed to warm the body up while the melodic content creates emotional depth and intrigue that set the stage for what’s to come. Each stage successively builds on what we’ve experienced in the last, taking us somewhere new that still feels part of the same story. The crescendos and climaxes interplay with periods of moderate rest and reflection to create a series of waves through various energies and moods. Finally, we come to the sentimental landing and closing stages where we can integrate what we’ve experienced as the journey nears its end, perhaps indulging in one final burst of joy or artistic expression before sending us off to what’s next.


As a dancer herself whose life has been transformed by the practice, Quintessence always plays for the party she wants to be at. Her work often defies genre, weaving through a great many of them throughout the journey in delightfully surprising ways. As she’s a multidisciplinarian with extremely broad taste, you’ll never get the same experience with DJ Quintessence twice. She’ll make you move, make you melt, take you to places beyond words, and leave you wanting more.


DJ Quintessence has shared a stage with acts such as DJ Kakah, Tzoul, Fab, Dhroovy, Mark Carpenter, Exuberance, Intrepid, Ji, Kurama, and Andrew Roth. She can be found on Instagram, SoundCloud, Spotify, and all other major music platforms.

Kevin Rise started DJing in Colorado and Hawaii way back in the 90s in the early rave scene.  He doesn't really stick to one genre, playing house, techno, breaks, pop, and even some rock depending on the vibe.

_____________^_____
Kevin Rise started DJing in the Honolulu, Denver, and Los Angeles rave scene of the 90s.  While primarily playing warehouses in those days, he sometimes DJ'd at Access Nightclub in Honolulu and even opened for the band My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult for their Honolulu show at Groove Nightclub.  With early influences including new wave and industrial, he certainly enjoys performing darker sets with techno, bass house, and drum and bass, its the uplifting sets that get everyone going that he loves so much..

Most of the time Kevin Rise performances are upbeat tech and acidy house though, with a touch of nostalgia thrown in representing his love of all kinds of music,

In 2021 he started the Groove Is The Park outdoor dance party series in Austin, Texas and is a resident of that event.  But also plays venues around the Austin, Texas area and occasionally in Hawaii.

He'd love to branch out play some new spots and new cities, or go back to some of those old cities where he got a start so long ago.

CALAGNA: A Journey of Sound, Spirit, and Transformation

In the sacred space of the dancefloor, where the divine and the earthly converge, CALAGNA weaves a tapestry of sound that invites you to journey into the heart of your own being. Here, faith and fable, gods and goddesses, and the essence of discovery and desire merge into a new truthology of sound. Whether remixing the voices of pop and underground artists or headlining major dance festivals worldwide, CALAGNA creates a unique blend of organic sounds, poetic wisdom, hypnotic beats, and modern pulses. Their music elevates you to the center of your consciousness, merging the sensual and spiritual into a rhythm of empowerment and ecstasy.

CALAGNA's reach extends across both mainstream and underground realms, remixing iconic artists such as Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono, Ricky Martin, Akon, Audien, Kimberly Davis, and Lady A. On the underground scene, their deep house and tribal tracks have found a home on respected labels like Desert Trax, Sol Selectas, Moody, Nervous, Stereo, Positronic, and Sollors Systems.

Their journey has taken them around the world, performing in countries such as Brazil, Japan, Thailand, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and Canada. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with legendary dance music pioneers, including Gabriel & Dresden, David Penn, Robbie Rivera, Danny Tenaglia, Chus & Ceballos, Worthy, Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Hector Romero, and Seamus Haji, cementing CALAGNA’s influence on dancefloors worldwide.

Beyond the DJ booth, CALAGNA has curated the soundscape for the prestigious Z Bar at The Peninsula Chicago and serves as a voting member of the San Francisco Recording Academy chapter.

In recent times, CALAGNA has turned towards the sacred path of medicine circles and the plant medicine journey. They weave underground deep tribal, hypnotic, and melodic rhythms for ecstatic dance floors, remixing visionary artists such as Liquid Bloom and Porangui. Moreover, they have birthed a new alias known as "bodē," dedicated to creating ambient ceremonial soundscapes that support deep and transformative medicine journeys.

Inspired by a deeper calling to guide souls beyond the dancefloor, Bodhi Calagna founded Remix Your World. This private practice helps individuals tap into their highest potential, navigate challenging life transitions, and cultivate meaningful, authentic relationships. Offerings include psychedelic-assisted therapy, hypnotherapy, integration coaching, sound healing, and online self-mastery courses. With a unique blend of personal development, musical wisdom, and spiritual exploration, Remix Your World provides a sacred space for inner growth. It offers gentle yet powerful guidance to support each person’s journey of remixing and remastering their life for the better.

Every experience with CALAGNA, whether through their music or personal growth work, invites you to dive deeper into yourself. It’s a call to feed your spirit, tune your senses, and unlock the endless possibilities within. Their journey is one of connection, where rhythm and reflection bring you closer to the truth waiting inside.

Started my DJ journey in 2020 in the Underground scene of Salt Lake City, Utah. Spinning Ecstatic dances, Tribal Trap, Global Bass, Funk bass/Glitch Hop, Dubstep, Trap, Experimental Bass, Midtempo, Bass House, Deep House, Downtempo, and Melodic... yeah, I play all of it!


I am JANKA, and I create music by layering violin and voice with a loop station on top of my DJ set. In my Ecstatic Dance shows, I combine Downtempo, Medicine Music, Tribal House, Techno, and Psytrance to create a rollercoaster of energy and emotion. I also offer calmer Ambient & Downtempo live shows and enjoy DJing parties.

Throughout my life, my curiosity, love, and fascination with nature and human connection have been my inspiration. I use organic, tribal, and transcendental sounds to dedicate my music to the beauty of our Earth.

We can‘t always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it !!!

DJ & owner of Arillas Soundgarden on the beautiful island of Corfu in Greece. Host of the year-round weekly Ecstatic Dance on Sunday mornings.

For me, ecstatic dance is art, culture, joy and healing. As a DJ and dancer, it allows you to free yourself from things that you are unconsciously stuck in… and you can do that just by going through your own automatically triggered processes through the music and the energy in the field of all the dancers present.

In the 80s/90s I was a successful vinyl DJ and club owner (Unterhaus Karlsruhe). I was a resident DJ in Frankfurt (Dorian Gray), Stuttgart (ZAP), Pforzheim (Scandal, Café Cairo) and many more. I also had DJ bookings in Ibiza (Pasha, Amnesia), Zürich (Rohstofflager, Oxa, Streetparade), Berlin (Planet, UFO, Loveparade) and many more. 

My personal highlight was to play together a „back-to-back“ with the legendary „Grandmaster Flash“ at a B-Boy battle in 1997.

At the end of 1990 I opened one of the first DJ schools in Germany and then supported newly founded DJ schools in other cities. In 1999 I ended my vinyl DJ career and worked as a paragliding instructor, among other things, until I founded the unicorn startup Volocopter in 2012. Since 2020 I have left the operational business at Volocopter and am now a world and time traveler.

On January 1st, 2023, I started back behind the (now digital) DJ decks. Since then, I've been hosting weekly Ecstatic Dance at my event/retreat location "Soundgarden" in Arillas on the island of Corfu in Greece.

Since 2 years I train my voice in throat and overtone singing. As SpaceDeer, my signature move is to sing in the intro phase of my Ecstatic Dance sets.

About Ecstatic Dance:

Ecstatic Dance is a danced meditation that frees people from things they're stuck in. As DJs we start with longer intros without beats and slowly transform the energy to one or two peeks to get the dancers really ecstatic... we also try to go through different energies - sadness, anger, happieness, freedom, peace … and a variety of genres and extraordinaire/crazy tracks are welcome. But always organic electronic dance music is a base of the sets. At the end there is also a longer phase with slow beats or just sounds/noises to bring the dancers to the floor and guide them to lie still on the floor for 5-10 minutes... to integrate their inner processes that have unfolded during the dance.

Main rules of ecstatic dance:

- no talking during the dance
- be sober (no alcohol or drugs)
- dance barefoot
- no judgement of your own or others movements/behaviours
- contact dance is welcome, but only in respect of your own - and of the others boarders.

About Soundgarden:

Soundgarden is a magical place in the olive groves overlooking the Ionian Sea, nestled in the lush hills above the lively seaside village of Arillas, popular with alternative international tourism. A well-equipped, year-round venue and retreat was created by man and nature together to serve as a high-vibrational field to connect, retreat, celebrate, move, listen, dance and transform.
With its magical outdoor areas (Under the Flower, The Olive Stage, Outdoor Kitchen, Around the Fire, In the Garden) and indoor areas (The Tree Temple) and a high-end sound system, Arillas-Soundgarden offers ideal conditions to experience unforgettable moments.
