This was my very first Ecstatic Dance in Istanbul. It was like a meeting of two old lovers that have deep connection and longing for each other. Dancers were so alive and responsive to the beats and melodies.

Our legend Barış Manço was coming from other realms to bless us. This set is building up with solar energy and winding down with lunar energy in order balance our inner masculine and feminine dynamics that may be out of tune by the metropol city life style.

Intention was to create spaces for feeling and slowing down in our body and mind.
I wish it to be healthfully releasing and connecting.

Dance is a medicine, tasty one..

After many requests to share my set from the Queeriental Party at Kampnagel, I’ve finally mixed it down and uploaded it!
It was a truly magical night that brought back memories of the Leilasia parties in the early 2000s – a vibrant blend of Mediterranean pop and pulsating electronic beats.
I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I loved playing it for all my beautiful habibis on the dancefloor. 
The artwork shows the beautiful Raj Rouge and Sheikha. Love you both so much!

Drum Solo III- Maksum

A percussive journey rooted in tribal belly dance, this track fuses driving beats and layered samples with subtle Asian-inspired textures. Organic rhythms pulse beneath atmospheric electronics, creating a hypnotic soundscape that’s both grounded and expansive. Designed for dancers and listeners who move between tradition and modernity, this piece brings ritual energy into a contemporary flow.

Ya Habayeb Nifraḥ Sawa - Oh Friends Let's celebrate

Sharaj Forever is a world music, psychedelic track that features sitar from the late great Rik Sharaj from Los Angeles. This track will be on my album “Shamanic Journey Vol. 1” a deep, immersive sound journey crafted specifically for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and inner exploration. 

David Starfire - Sharaj Forever (feat. Rik Sharaj)

Synthesis of Feminine, Masculine and the Divine. 

Medicine of music and dance is powerful and available any time of daily life.
That makes it my passion to create conscious and intentional dance spaces and music with such awareness.

My intention is offering Non-Dual experiences by inviting people to perceive the existence from the pure presence of body and liberated mind through state of trance or absolute stillness which comes by the divine dance of music and silence.

I feel my magic is fusion of different genres from all over the world and from all the times and people. Extracting their potent medicine and bringing them into a profound journey that offers a container for dynamic inner work.
Supporting and flavoring these journeys with organic vibrations such as didgeridoo, Sufi drum, Native American and Middle Eastern flutes, Saaz and indigenous sound tools. 

we dance and we pray
we liberate and we connect
we remember who are we
truly.

Saeleen Bouvar, awarded with the Kaleidoskop Art Prize 2024, stands as the visionary behind the groundbreaking TRANSTRONICA Festival, now entering its fourth consecutive year as the world's first and only electronic music festival featuring a purely trans lineup. Renowned for her sets saturated with queerness, Bouvar crafts narratives brimming with passion and sensuality, igniting dance floors and evoking a palpable intensity that leaves bodies glistening with sweat.

Since its inception in May 2017, Bouvar has served as the Salonnière of Salon Queertronique, infusing Hamburg's club scene with vital TransVisibility behind the decks. Drawing from over three decades of queer club culture, her sets are a testament to her profound understanding of the genre. With a philosophy rooted in "Recreate-Restore-Reform," she resurrects the sonic essence of historic gay discos and later queer clubs, seamlessly blending them with contemporary elements to forge a wholly new experience. Bouvar's signature sound exudes a refined, feminine elegance, effortlessly traversing realms from disco and Chicago house to acid house, electroclash, and techno.

Her expertise in queer club culture is matched only by the electrifying performances she's delivered at prestigious events across europe. Bouvar has graced stages at Fusion Festival 2019, Vogelball 2022, Kinky Sundays, the Queer Bcademy, Hirscheneck in Basel, her own Salon Queertronique, and left an indelible mark with her unforgettable appearances at the TRANSTRONICA festival.

As both founder and curator, Saeleen Bouvar continues to push boundaries and challenge norms within the electronic music landscape. With TRANSTRONICA, she not only celebrates Trans* artists but also fosters an inclusive space where music and identity converge to create moments of pure liberation and ecstasy.
