oh my f****** god! Absolutely unexpected and fantastic!

✨ Rhythm Sanctuary was my first big Ecstatic Dance set, crafted with love and intention, went so well, & exceeded my imagination of what it would be like! ✨ It’s about the music, but it’s also about the energy of the dancers, and Rhythm knows how to get down, express, embody, feel, and be deep in the ceremony of the dance. ✨ Wow. That was amazing. Thank you so much Ahva for believing in me and giving me that opportunity to share my set! Thank you Lotte Walda for closing out the set with such a beautiful song, and Erica Rae for your song to welcome in the dance! ✨Enjoy this set, let me know how it moves you! And please comment, follow me on here to stay updated when I post new sets and tracks, and share this set far and wide <3

Desert Trax is proud to present the newest sonic offering from Desert Dwellers, "Dive Into Forever." Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe are unleashing another set of groundbreaking tracks on this EP.  This time they have collaborated with the soulful songstress Ixchel Prisma, who added a major component to the overall enchantment of these tunes.  Together they have seamlessly interwoven Ixchel's spacious lyrics within the forward moving psychedelic atmospheres of the desert. Showcasing their versatility as sound designers, Desert Dwellers have significantly adapted and developed their production value to best suit and complement the voice that shines throughout.
  
The first song, "Dive Into the Core", is overflowing with meditative modulations and a palpable poetic presence.  Greatly influenced by the work of Phaeleh, the track begins with a gentle whisper that invokes the feeling of a lullaby.  As it progresses, spacious synthesizers and a proliferation of pads filter in and out,  providing a blissful background for Ixchel's verses and catchy choruses.  "Dive Into the Core" is a very archetypal composition that will garner affection and adoration for its lovely lyrics and script, edifying the mystical nature of musical mythos, and the rebirth symbolism of the phoenix rising from the ashes. 

Harken back to the origin of Desert Dwellers and hear reborn the second song on this EP, which is a revamped rendition of one of their oldest and most beloved manifestations, "You Can See Forever." The hypnotic dance vibe of this version of the tune will most certainly captivate any listener.  The instrumentation and vibe is a lot more psychedelic compared to "Dive into the Core," featuring a heavy dose of delayed FX, ethnic woodwinds and incredible incantations.  When listening, It's pretty hard to not imagine yourself wandering the desert with an endless moonlit horizon in front of you.



"Although it may only consist of two tracks, Desert Dwellers have outdone themselves with this EP.  I assure you that it will only become more mesmerizing with every listen.  As they continue to look within and redefine their signature sound, we can all prophesy that there will never be a Desert Dwellers album that will sound the same; that is the beauty of music beyond borders!"  - Anthony Della Croce

Protect The Sacred - Chill/Midtempo Mix 2018

@cellojoe

Airy. Lyrical. Angelic. Connecting. Settling.
Landing tracks carry the dancers down from the final peak into the heart. They hold the feeling of, “we made it through together.”

Ecstatic Dance Records is here to serve DJs, dancers, and music lovers across the global Ecstatic Dance community and beyond. We endeavor to produce a wide variety of music with attention to "phases" of the Ecstatic Dance Journey: Arrival, Buildup, Peak, Cruise, Landing, and Integration.

KR3TURE - To Love (feat. Cello Joe)

This DJ set was from the New Years Day Chocolate Groovathon at Alternity. In Tribute to The Desert Dwellers, I spun  a mix of only their music to open up the Groovathon!

Enjoy!

MUSICAL MOON MUSING EXPERIMENT - Sept. 17th / 2020 to Aug. 22nd / 2021

This is the second installment in a 12 Synodic month journey to capture the correlation between sound, emotion and cosmic energy. Each mix is created within the 13 hours leading up to the crest of the moon cycle which is the best time to harness the power of the new / full moon. Through meditation and connecting to the current astrological energy ( signs, planets & elements ) I then create a dj mix from that inspiration. This is a collaborative project with Amaris (Tanya Lee) from Body Art Motion who has consulted on the overall project as well as provided the incredible opening & closing meditations.

FULL MOON - October 1st, 2020
ASTROLOGICAL SIGN - Aries
ELEMENT - Cardinal Fire

As always I would love to get your feedback on the mix as well as the project idea. I welcome you comments and if you’d like to get in touch with me directly please email info@zephrym.ca
