I’m thrilled to share my latest DJ set from the Ecstatic Dance Mini Fest held at Casa Kilyos in Istanbul, Türkiye, on October 12, 2024. This set, recorded live by the sea, captures the powerful energy of the event and the beautiful connection between dancers from all over the world.
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a movement practice that allows participants to express themselves freely through dance, without any judgment or structure. It’s about letting go, connecting with your body, and moving to the rhythm of your own energy. This global movement has grown in popularity, and I’m excited to be part of bringing it to communities in Türkiye and beyond.
The Energy Behind the Set
The Ecstatic Dance Mini Fest in Istanbul was held under the powerful energy of the Mayan day 1 Aj. This day represents unity, growth, and protection, making it the perfect backdrop for an ecstatic dance event. As a Mexican DJ and music producer, I love weaving the rich spiritual traditions of my heritage into my music, and this set was no exception.
What to Expect From the DJ Set
This set is designed to take you on a journey, from grounding tribal beats to uplifting organic rhythms, helping you move through waves of energy. It was inspired by the vibrations of 1 Aj, creating a space for release, freedom, and deep connection to self and others. Whether you're dancing in your living room or in nature, this mix will guide you through an energetic flow, perfect for your own ecstatic dance experience.
Why Ecstatic Dance in Türkiye?
The ecstatic dance community in Türkiye is growing, and I’m honored to be part of this movement. Bringing ecstatic dance to Türkiye, especially in such beautiful settings like Casa Kilyos in Istanbul, allows for a deeper connection between cultures. My roots as a Mexican artist give me a unique perspective, blending traditional sounds with global beats, offering a space for transformation through music.
