### english

This set takes you on an ecstatic dance journey lasting just under 100 minutes – shorter and more compact than usual, and therefore all the more intense.
From organic sounds to hypnotic beats to surprising classical moments, a wide musical spectrum unfolds. Perfectly flowing transitions build a smooth wave that culminates in an ecstatic climax and finally ends in a gentle finale.
A musical space that invites you to let go, dive deep and celebrate life in motion.

### deutsch

Dieses Set nimmt dich mit auf eine knapp 100-minütige Ecstatic-Dance-Reise – kürzer und kompakter als gewöhnlich, und gerade dadurch intensiv.
Von organischen Klängen über hypnotische Beats bis hin zu überraschenden Klassik-Momenten entfaltet sich eine große musikalische Bandbreite. Perfekt fließende Übergänge bauen eine geschmeidige Welle auf, die in einem ekstatischen Höhepunkt gipfelt und schließlich in einem sanften Ausklang landet.
Ein musikalischer Raum, der dazu einlädt, loszulassen, tief einzutauchen und das Leben in Bewegung zu feiern.

Ecstatic Dance - Into The Flow 2025

It’s been a while since I posted a recorded set, and honestly, I was quietly enjoying my last mix reaching over 1,000 plays — a first for me! But I’ve been playing all summer and this one just felt too special not to share.

This is a live recording from our evening ecstatic dance in nature — our big, beautiful garden in the Bologna countryside. We went real deep together. The group was not afraid to be vulnerable and authentic, and for the first time ever it was an all-men circle of dancers, I felt really honoured. Out of all the tarot cards I could have pulled, I drew Eros… hence the name of this set.

The second part of the set plays with silence and I suggest really feeling into those moments, as they’re part of the journey. This recording is just one hour, perfect for a solo dance at home if you want to move energy. One person who tried ecstatic dance for the first time shared:

“Yesterday was a truly special baptism for me.
Intimate. Deep.
At the end, I felt like I'd returned from a journey beyond space and time.”

All mixing and looping is done live, so it’s raw and unpolished but there’s a part of my soul inside this music. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Special thanks to my Dance the Medicine community of DJs who continue to inspire me to walk this path of music and movement as medicine.

ECSTATIC 1

This is Harvest — a freshly woven Ecstatic Dance set by DJ Kami Kaplan. I love slow, patient build-ups. To me, they mirror life itself. When we start something — a project, a child’s birth, a move, a celebration — there is always a long unseen process behind the result. Doubts, fears, failures, effort, persistence. Yet most of the time, only the final outcome is judged: “great / bad / okay.” But the time of sowing is what truly shapes us.
It’s often invisible, yet it’s the most precious, and when we honor it, even the simplest harvest becomes the sweetest gift. Welcome to this dance journey.
I wonder — what will you harvest today? 🌾✨
