He was introduced to conscious dance as a baby, immersed in the Santa Cruz dance scene in 2014, and has been DJing since 2017. He's now the curator of a monthly ecstatic dance in Sebastopol, called Synergy. Together with the dancers, he spontaneously curates an ecstatic wave unique to that moment's dancefloor. The boundaries of genre give way to a multi-faceted soundscape of African and South American rhythm, world house, grimy underground bass music, and heart-ful melodies aplenty with a story in between. All in all, it boils down to this prayer inherent in the rhythms: May we allow these sounds, familiar and fresh, to dissolve the monkey mind and re-mind the body of its own voice.
