Castillo Fuseday Feb 4 2025

One of my most classic mashups, now with a cleaner sound and a hybrid of both of the original basslines. Great for partner dancing or Brazilian Zouk. (Tripled for SoundCloud.)

C vs. Am, 75 BPM

Lovesong Viver (DJ Quintessence Mashup - 2025 Remastered)

Happy Valentine's week to all the Zoukers and Billieheads.

C#m, 60 BPM

Everything I Wanted (Zouk Sax Cover Remix)

A very lovely and special day of Fusion! I got to mix songs for this one, which was very exciting. This is definitely a journey covering a full spectrum of energies, starting and ending with very soft and embodied moments of connection yet also hitting the most climactic highs I've hit at Fusion yet. The crowd ate this one up.

Soak and Dance 2/1/25 - "Cleansing Waters" (Mixed Fusion DJ Set)

Remastered sexy sax goodness. Serve this at a partner dance, a wedding, or a private bedroom encounter- George Michael knows no bounds.

Dm, 76 BPM

Careless Whisper (DJ Quintessence Zouk Edit - 2025 Remastered)

I made this song for West Coast Swing. Enjoy! It has a steady backbeat throughout and sits at a very comfortable tempo of 85 BPM, making it a good one for warmup and practice. May the hypnotic and catchy Chill Pop vocals get as stuck in your head as they have in mine. 

C#m, 85 BPM

Backbeat (DJ Quintessence Acoustic Zouk Edit)

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.
