My MUsic
At Ecstatic Dance, the DJ carries a unique responsibility — to guide the dancefloor into flow.
People dance freely, using movement as a path to healing. From the underground scene, I carry with me the artistry of weaving stories through music and flow.
Ecstatic Dance opens the door for me to go deeper — to create sets that are emotional, transformative, and touching. It’s a space where I can move the floor into ecstatic peaks, while also bringing moments of tenderness. The music I play draws from all over the world — sounds that touch the heart, stir memories, and open new worlds — all reimagined through electronic production, remixes, and bootlegs.
You can find my sets on YouTube!

In 2018, he came to Vancouver, Canada and was so impressed by the natural beauty that he decided to stay for a long period. The next step in his musical journey is to explore electronic and ambient music using synthesizers and sampled sounds from nature.
