This is a demo I got ready to pitch Bhakti Festival 2018, a spirituality festival, with a session of “Spiritual Dance”, a new experiment based on techno rhythms fused with mantras and songs of all spiritual backgrounds: Hindu and native American chants meet Australian aboriginal spirituality and sacred songs of African tribes, Gregorian chants and Buddhist mantras, Tibetan monks and Islamic muezzins, binaural frequencies, icaros of Amazonian ayahuasca shamans and other sounds of spiritual nature. For the spiritual dance project I adopted a “proto-spiritual” pseudonym I already used for other recent holistic performances: Agnixam. The spirit of Burning Max becomes Agni, divinity of fire, while “xam” is nothing but the mirror reflection of “max” – an alternate version of Burningmax, more profound and intimate. Agnixam is the spiritual expression of Burningmax, but with the same “bhakti” for techno music.

I’ve never really understood the trend of Ecstatic Dance. Don’t get me wrong, I have a very active “holistic life” so I know it all about it, but as a DJ and most of all as a raver, I simply cannot understand (nor accept) those sudden swings from a good tune to a crappy one, to an uplifting groove to a sudden cheesy pop song. Yes, sure… the 5 rythms, the flow… I know – but that’s gotta be a different way… So at the recent Barcelona Burning Bash Weekend BBB 2017, during one of my scheduled DJ sets I took the holistic dance to another level – the spiritual one. And I made sure that one was going to good for the dancefloor, too – not just for the soul. Techno, trance, and good dance electronica are this time at service of prayers. The entire set, that opens and closes with a Gayatri Mantra, is actually made by tracks that are in fact prayers. And when they are not, good dance music is the base for a wide series of spiritual loops that I throw in the mix: buddhist mantras, tibetan monks, gregorian chants, african spiritual chants, native american prayers, sufi sounds, Osho meditation tunes and more – including “icaros”, sacred amazonian chants for ayahuasca ceremonies. I hope you enjoy it. Shanti Om, motherfuckers.
