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.
