Sunday Ecstatic Dance ✨Luke Mandala ✨

We're so pleased to have long-time beat slinger and producer Luke Mandala with us this week! Luke’s dynamic live act includes playing a mixture of electronic and acoustic music while mixing in multiple live wind instruments and live drumming. His lifelong devotion to community dance medicine started at age 14 in 1998 when he started to DJ at northwest USA raveriffic events! Hundreds of music releases later, Luke has songs out with many of the biggest labels releasing deeper shades of house/techno and slower tempo bass music. Depending on the crowd, Luke’s music can vary from being pretty and uplifting to dark and primal, which typically features melodic and atmospheric textures infused with a lot of emotion. Sprinkled with unusual sounds, unexpected twists, eclectic mix of global sounds, various tempos and grooves, it’s sometimes called experimental. It reflects stories of love-driven culture and open-minded ideas. Luke also has an online functional (natural, root cause) medicine practice where he helps people naturally heal frequent issues of the gut, metabolism, tiredness and more. He offers event workshops. Luke’s songs have been played by legends like Sasha, James Zabiela, Boris Brejcha, Solomon, Desert Dwellers, Dave Seaman, Kaya Project, and BLOND:ISH. Official remixes from artists like, Bluetech, Christian Martin, Chloe Harris, Govinda, Roger Martinez, Pezzner, Robert Babicz, and Deya Dova. ☀️☀️☀️☀️ We request $10 donation from dancers to keep this Dance going!! We pay our talent, and our sound engineers, as well as the facilitators if there is enough leftover. Ideally we raise at least $500 per dance to cover our bare minimum. We super appreciate everyone’s enthusiastic support!!
