It was my honour to be invited to play the Midsummer Solstice in the beautiful Pirita Cloister ruins in Tallinn, Estonia. I can barely imagine a more suitable location to dance in tribute to the sun.

An open sky, surrounded by the ruined medieval walls: a place to stand with the movements of the past, and evoke them to dance into the future with us.

The perfect starting point for this musical journey was a psalm by Hildegard von Bingen, which I imagine to have been sung here since the cloister opened in 1407: Spiritus Sanctus Vivificans, a song that seems as much an ode to the sun as anything else. From there I wove together the old and the new from all the far flung reaches of the world, following the the lines of the beginning:

The Holy Spirit: living and life-giving,
the life that’s all things moving,
the root in all created being:
of filth and muck it washes all things clean—
out-scrubbing guilty staining,
its balm our wounds constraining—
and so its life with praise is shining,
rousing and reviving
all.

With the curation of a setlist for an ecstatic dance, I always let myself be guided by the latest inspirations, that form the corner stones around which I gather my collection to make and interesting and exhilarating journey.

The past few weeks that was the new Dune film and the mesmerising score by Hans Zimmer, the exquisite Arabic-French World-Fusion of Bachar Mar-Khalifé, the French weird-pop tech-house of Jacques, Aleksi Perälä's spaced out deep psychedelia, Photay's jazzy funk, Dauwd's warm heart-throb techno, Nadia Struiwigh's ambient idm, Reda Darwish's devilishly percussive whirly dervish.

I played variations of this set in Dansunie Deventer, Ecstatic Dance North Groningen and finally at home base Odessa Amsterdam, where this set was recorded. It garnered so much praise there it was one for the soundcloud.

Enjoy!

Holidays times are strange. For some of us it's a cherish time of warmth, family, celebration, abundance. Some of us just want to get it over with, reminders of what we miss, where we don't fit anymore, meaningless. Meaningful. And whole spectrum of options in between.
There are no right and wrong ways, it is what it is, be gentle with yourself my moving friends and breathe, as u celebrate, as you hide, and you laugh or cry, as you close into your cocoon or spread wings full of colors. If you need to check with your ground, feet, if you need time for yourself, and wordless connections, if you need a support - I will be waiting for You on the dance floor.

Every Friday! We don't stop. Unless you choose to! Keeping a connection with yourself alive.

AND this Saturday extra treat - DJ Inphiknight orchestrating Ecstatic Dance. I wish nothing more but to surrender.

⏰ Friday 19:30-21:30
⏰ Saturday 19:30-22:00
