In both his DJ sets and his production Luke is able to bend and blend genres across the musical spectrum, flowing effortlessly between bass and hip hop, electronic and organic, left field and pop appeal. He finds himself equally at home at a festival, rave, renegade campout or ecstatic dance. A skilled professional DJ with years of experience behind the decks, Luke crafts unique, eclectic sets that allow dancers to flow, move energy and feel embodied. He plays from his extensive library of his favorite tracks across many musical styles, as well as songs he produced for heart centered musicians in the ecstatic community and his own growing catalog of originals, remixes and mash ups. Luke Rain is a producer, DJ, performer and educator from Seattle, WA. Songs that he produced have totaled over 8 million Spotify streams, he has taught over 600 private producer and DJ lessons, and has released over 10hours of music to Spotify, both for his own artist projects and the music he’s produced and engineered for others. To date, Luke has released 16 songs on Equanimous’ High Vibe Records label, 4 on ill.Gates’ Producer Dojo label, and 2 on Willdabeast’s Grand Alliance label, plus many more independent releases. As a DJ Luke is a fixture in the NW ecstatic dance scene, and has expanded into the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions and Hawaii, with a goal of playing 100 DJ gigs in 2025." - Artist Bio Suntaya Song: instagram.com/suntaya.song "I came to this planet to raise the vibration of the human family to the frequency of unconditional love, to be a living transmission of sacred union with all and to liberate the soul song of our human family. I believe that everything is sound, that sound is a living technology. I believe that everything is eros, conscious life force energy that animates all life. I believe that we are all channels and when we turn on to life and bring our Shakti Song forward - we are living the change we wish to see in our world. My journey started with devotional singing. From my childhood catholic church days, to feeling ecstatic highs from ‘praisin’ the Lord’ singing in non-denominational churches in middle school, to finally discovering Kirtan and landing at home in my heart’s true form of expressing my deep love for Spirit. The song continued to guide me into vocal channeling with sound as a living wisdom - I am forever a student of sound, having worked with several shamanic guides & mentors and work with sound as one of my primary gifts in service through light language, vocal sound healing, voice activation and shamanic journeying. As the spiritual rabbit hole continues, I wound up deep in study with tantra. This journey has guided me in many directions with several amazing mentors and ultimately landed me where I stand now, carving my path from the intersection of vocal channeling and erotic awakening. I believe that ecstatic states are our natural state of being and the songs, medicine, creations, etc that we channel from this space are our gifts to the world. This work has allowed me to expand into my fullest, most liberated expression and I can honestly say I’m ecstatic to be who I am in this moment, a devotee of the song & primal eros that animates all of life." - Artist Bio Michaela Brazington: instagram.com/alchemia.yoga.music Dorothy Morganna: https://www.instagram.com/dorothymorganna/ Wecelium Wellness / Creative Lab: www.wecelium.net (4401 Fremont Ave N) ------------------------------------------------------------- ABBEY ARTS EVENT INFO: Fremont Abbey is ADA accessible on either level.
