MEET OUR DJ’S
Amsterdam based, live controllerist & mixing teacher DJ NAVID DIVANA (he/his) enchants the audience with tunes from the entire spectrum of genres and regions. Even within this limitless style he stands out with originality & experimentalism. Depending on the vibe of the event, he adjusts the width & scope of the musical spectrum. The groove can vary from very relaxed to highly bombastic; it respects the narrative and takes you on an unmistakable journey into both familiar territories as well as surprising new landscapes. "I never thought I would dance to THAT genre!", is something he often hears after the Ecstatic Dance sets. We will enjoy wild Navid during ceremonies, temples and a naked ecstatic dance set!

Ecstatic Dance to DJ ANICA (she/her) is a wonderful tool to come closer to oneself. It allows to discover the power and movement in the body, but also the stillness, both in body and mind, and to explore the many nuances of joy, sadness, and other emotions of the heart. For many years of her life, Anica has travelled, intrigued by what this globalized world is about, to understand different landscapes, the colourfulness of culture, and the reason for so much inequality. The most fascinating to her however is what makes all of us humans equal: the ability to move and to feel onto the sound of music. During her sets, Anica weaves those influences from all over the world into colourful sets, that celebrate diversity, and that honoures what unites us all: our journey through this world, on the dancefloor, towards ourselves. Anica will wake us up every day with her joyful vibes! Anica’s soundcloud
DJ MARTYN ZIJ (he/his) developed an unique taste for different music genres from all over the world, diverse but with a similar characteristic - music which gives space, excites trance and imagination but also ensures a presence in the “here and now”. His sound ranges from grounding bass & beats, tribal grooves to a more meditative and lyrical vibe. These he brings together in a funky and soul-full way touching the heart of the dancer and listener. With Ecstatic Dance it became clear to Martyn that all the music he loves so much easily can come together in a set for this special phenomenon. He loves to share the music, the dance and the joy with these communities and gets inspired by the different vibes of the unique happening every Ecstatic Dance is. Martyn will offer his amazing sounds during an Ecstatic Dance evening! Martyn’s website
