Expect Global Bass music of high intricacy; a multitude of rhythms, amorphous tempos, beauty, soul and beats that make you drop down to the floor. Powerful mixing and heart-expanding bass lines invoke an experience of expanded consciousness. Get ready for an Ecstatic Dance you will never forget. Look out for his latest EP coming out on Street Ritual Records next month with a remix from Knowa Knowone of Global Bass music. soundcloud/Rhythmstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parashakti has worked with over 10,000 dancers from around the world and led workshops and retreats at some of the world’s leading holistic centers. Her mission is to open the possibility for people to achieve a liberating sense of wholeness and joy through the fluid, healing and exhilarating integration of body, mind and spirit. The Dance of Liberation® is a unique form of movement therapy which heals and frees physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages. Utilizing dance, contemporary shamanism, hands on healing, drumming and global music, this powerful and beautiful soul work sheds inhibitions and heightens inner awareness in a safe and carefully monitored group setting. Dancers are blindfolded in the shamanic tradition and step beyond their conscious fears and limitations to allow their innermost creative sides to break free. Dancers tune in to sound and movement to take an inner journey exploring a trancelike state of self-discovery and self-realization.
