When reason is swept up with a gusty wind and we are left in wonder, where is this world headed? No one knows the answer just yet... But returning to Love & Music over and over is my medicine. So let's protest, pray, play, plant, ponder, wobble with the emotions and dance. Enjoy this offering beloveds, and may you bask in peace and trust!

Bali Lockdown ~ Ecstatic Dance (ft. Maugli, Afrikan Roots, Temple Step)

One of the most profound sets I've played. The closing of the Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland 2022 was one to remember... one where you could feel, hear and see the healing power of music and dance.

Kareem Raïhani Live at Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland 2022

Karma Carnival happened in 22nd of April & it was a magical evening. Here is my live recorded mixtape.

I set the vibe, intention and started this full on long night ride with this shamanic, organic house music. 

So the first track was from Yaima with 85bpm and I went all up to 120 bpm Afro house and did it all by passionately, slowly rising the speed, tempo & energy.

Lately i have been remembering my high school time (ESCU / EÕEL, Õpilasliit times) favourite music I used to dancee soo much  Fix - Tsirkus - that was the last track on the ride, so hold tight its a 1h44min journey. 

So inspired to follow this path with those amazing people on the dancefloor and listening for soothing in the night. 

Thank you for being part of my creation and supporting me, helping me grow to be more intimate with the music I am playing. I just realised again that when as DJ if I am enjoying the music I play sooo deeply (and much), then the mixing is coming sooo chilled out and aspiring too.

Please do let me know what did you feel & experience while listening to this live mix. 
Also all feedback to get better is welcome.

Big thanks to all of my teachers and inspirational DJ-s / producers.
Well also thank you all authors of these tracks.
Big love!
Aitäh Alice Märtin Photography for such a great epic photos! 
You are a true magician and you must know it!

Shamanic & downtempo to organic & Afro Deep house live @ Karma Carnival April '22

Happy Mothers day <3

I was invited to play in Khulana event in The Hague in the Netherlands, and prepared a unique journey for them, as I usually do.

During the opening ceremony, I realized it was mother's days in the Netherlands, as both the ceremony and the warm up exercises were about motherhood and connection to the earth.

I felt called to bring these elements into the dance journey, so I changed the set I've prepared to include many more songs featuring motherly and feminine voices and themes. 

I also noticed that actually I already had many feminine songs in my original set.

I was touched by how playful and expressive people were, and the fact that the age range went from 5 to about 70.

I am grateful to Jade and Joshua for this special collaboration and all the beautiful moments we spent. Traveling so much isn't easy, but co-creating with such special people more than makes up for it.

Ancestral Elephants DJ Set @ Salvation Cafe, Dharamsala 2018

A recording from an incredible night at Zest with all the family. 
Awo playing out in the garden and a packed and vibing dancefloor inside.
I recorded with room mics as well as off the board and since the energy of the night was so high felt to blend in the room recording as well. 
Enjoy!

The SunSet Cacao Dance @ Eagle's Nest Atitlán is an ecstatic dance inspired community event guided by Mose on the shores of the majestic Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.

This is a live set filmed in December, 2019. The journey starts just before sunset with a simple cacao ceremony to set intentions and drop deeper into presence and inner silence. Cacao helps to open the heart and provides energy in the form of theobromine, literally meaning "food of the Gods". In honor of worldwide Ecstatic Dance guidelines, the group is led into a space of silence through the rest of the event with the intention to deepen the experience and allow each individual to connect more deeply inside while honing the ability to connect with others through eye contact and movement. The participants are asked to refrain from consuming any other substances and no alcohol is served with the intention to tap into deep states of consciousness without the need of hard drugs and the inebriation of alcohol. 

The music starts slowly to invite people into their bodies as they feel inspired, while allowing others to stay seated in meditation or contemplation. The music slowly builds through the experience and peaks with full ecstatic movement. The wave then washes over with a slower more spacious energy to drop deeper into spaciousness and introspection until finally ending lying on the ground with soft ambient music to hold the space for integration and grounding. 

There are many of us now all around the world who can attest to the depth of experience available to us on a dance floor surrounded by beautiful, free spirited, open hearted people. Combine that with the magic of cacao and breathtaking scenery and you have a recipe for magic.

*The normal guidelines include the prohibition of cameras and cell phones in the dance space to nurture a space of freedom and to let go of our need to document and share all of our experiences. For this particular event we made an exception in hopes to give a glimpse into this expansive world. 

About the Space:

Walking The New Path ❋ Gaian Tribe Ecstatic Celebration

Walker Barnard grew up on an ashram outside the American mainstream, listening to Balinese monkey chants, classical Indian music and The Beatles White Album. His first experience of the funk came early on when his father, who was making music videos for Motown, brought him to hang on the set of the shoot for Rick James's Super Freak video.
In the early nineties, Walker started playing bass in a funk-rock band called Mobius Trip. The band recorded in Los Angeles with the Dust Brothers of Paul’s Boutique fame and then with Beastie Boys keyboardist Mark Nishita. Walker threw down on a range of projects —Including a Lemmy remix, and Vince Neil's solo record. From there Walker's journeys led him to Santa Fe, New Mexico where he continued to hone his bass playing and recording chops. It was there that Walker had his warehouse party dance floor awakening-- and at that moment he began to transpose his live music experience onto the grids of house and techno.
Not long after the awakening, while living in a teepee outside Santa Fe, Walker got a call from a friend in NYC who was looking for a producer/engineer to come work at a downtown hip hop studio. He thought that sounded pretty good, so with fifty dollars in his pocket, he boarded a plane bound for New York. Walker spent the next two years at the epicenter of underground hip hop, working with a long list of artists such as Company Flow, Saul Williams, Mike Ladd, Rob Sonic, Mos Def, Cannibal Ox and countless others.
During this time, Walker also worked closely with producer and engineer Mike "Tweakin" Rogers, who engineered Deee-Lite's first record, as well as countless classic Chicago and New York house releases. He collaborated on a string of releases with Jaymz Nylon for labels such as Nitegrooves and Dirty Loop/3 to 5, and produced a track for Saul Williams' Big Dada release, "1972." And when he wasn't in the studio, he was playing bass and live electronics in lofts parties, warehouses, bars and clubs all over the New York and the East Coast.
However, by 2000 Walker began seriously longing for the open skies and high mountains of New Mexico and so moved back to Santa Fe, where he began the serious study of recording and mixing music. In 2003 he designed and opened his own studio to facilitate the production philosophy he had developed through his previous decade of experience and during the next five years he produced and engineered numerous records, including the 2006 Grammy winning album "Sacred Ground".
Walker’s studio also became the home base for the small but incredibly fertile dance music scene in Santa Fe. Along with his partner, Sylvie Forêt and a family of like-minded musicos, Walker threw epic open air parties in exotic locations, inviting artists such as Bruno Pronsato, Bodycode aka Portable, Lee Curtiss, and Mikael Stavöstrand.
Walker has been a valued member of the Berlin scene since 2008 - his regular appearances around venues such as Club der Visionäre, Watergate, Wilde Renate, Chalet or Katerholzig soon winning him a reputation as a mastermind of the dancefloor. Nowadays, you can increasingly find Walker slinking around various musical extravaganzas worldwide. Look for his tunes on labels like Private Gold, Vakant, Serialism, Dumb Unit, and Jack Off.
