WHAT IS THE MUSIC OF ‘ECSTATIC DANCE’ ?

Many people find a beautiful song and think “Oh i’m gonna listen to it a lot !”
And there is a special kind of people who think “Oh I can’t wait to play it for others”. 
These kind of people are called “DJ"

I spend a big chunk of my time digging for music.
And the constant question that arises is:

Can I play it at Ecstatic Dance ?

For me, Ecstatic Dance is an opportunity to discover and dance to music that is not played on commercial dance floors or spotify playlists.

Music that invites my body to move in new or different ways, or to relax and be still.

Music that isn’t just happy-happy but that might induce sadness, anger, introspection, elevation and other states.

Music that connects me to myself, to others and to life.

That is true for me as a dancer, as a DJ and as a budding musician. 

Some of the music I play at Ecstatic Dance is light, dance-y, and approachable.

and some, well, is less so. 

One of my greatest challenges is finding the balance between playing what I love and between accommodating for what people can receive.

I know I can appeal to more people if i play more commercial music.

But I feel such a calling to share some of the treasures i find;

Like a 13 minutes piece weaving together traditional arabic music and a classical string quintet.

Or music by a swedish live-band integrating latin, jazz, african, and amazonian music. 

Or a heart-ripping african-american gospel blues piece from the 1920s that was etched on a gold disc and sent to outer space on the voyager space probe.

Or a polish folk song sung by a group of female singers and remixed by a french electronic musician.

The challenge to find this balance isn’t easy, but i embrace the challenge and the experiences and insights it brings.

And so, you can find some of these treasures in this DJ set, which I played at ’Snake Charmer’-  a slower edition of Ecstatic Dance - in Koh PhaNgan, July 9th, 2020.

Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases.

The winter solstice was a powerful transition for me this year. It was enjoyed with special people in a special piece of Afrika during an unprecedented time. Let the light grow each day! Enjoy this mix in whichever hemisphere you may be.

Thanks @michaelbrianwaugh for being the muse
& @bluelola for the last nudge _+

That Eastern oriental groove really puts me in the zone . I wanted this set to be a bit longer initially but I'm happy with the way this completed.
I really hope you enjoy the music .

"I was almost finished with this track when I stumbled over the spoken word poem "Motives & Thoughts" by Lauryn Hill. I experimented a bit and it's actually the sugar on top. Although the meaning is far from being sugar, but fits into this present time."  Daniel

LIVE* PINNACLE* PORTAL* SUMMER* LOVE* CELEBRATION* SET*  
Celebrating 11 years together, This Set takes us back to some of the most euphoric moments shared, moments like sunrise deep playa 
as the sun pops its head up, teleporting us 6 years into the future, 
we hear the magical sounds of Crussen’s harmonica filling the Myan Warrior speakers with love and joy, the same sounds that filled the dance floor of our wedding in myknos
or maybe just dancing barefoot on the soft white beaches of Tulum this set will take you there. 
 
Recorded live on our 11th anniversary designed to teleport us, we, you back to those priceless moments shared  
 
I first met the Gentle Warrior on Sunday 12th of July 2009 at a music festival in Scotland, since then we have danced together in 37 countries 6 Burning Mans 2 Sufi festivals & 1 Wedding. Tonight we raved to some of our favourite tracks both old & new, recorded on the cdj’s this unedited unbalanced untouched set might just blow yir speakers up, please take off your shoes close your eyes & celebrate with us. 
warmest love Bryan & Holly
