Usually we don’t take photos at Ecstatic Dance.

Usually we don’t take photos at Ecstatic Dance. Tonight I took one. Why? Because it was so beautiful to see everybody move in their own unique way on the ground. So often we think of a “good” ecstatic dance when everybody is jumping, smiles, wild hair, superhigh energy. But this to me is also a very good ecstatic: People feeling the freedom to crawl, roll, slide on the floor. Thank you @judithhermarij for the beautiful opening ceremony.

In two weeks we dance again at Ecstatic Dance Universe in Utrecht with DJ @jethroobadja and ceremony by @tyembodiment . Who knows how you will move then… Be welcome! Find all events on Hipsy, Facebook or go to www.ecstasticdanceuniverse.nl

Ecstatic Dance is so beautiful. In a space without words we allow ourselves to express however we wish, going inwards and out, up and down. The past year I've played almost 100 ecstatics and I am deeply grateful.

I record all my sets, yet for quite some time I didn't upload any. So much of the magic is happening in the moment and so much get copied when it is put online. Yet this mix stuck with me. I've listened to it at home a few times, and it grew. It grew into something I really would like to share online as well, because I think it is one of my best sets of the past year. The music, the transitions, the journey. It has a long build up, shamanic elements, hypnotic pulse, heart opening, soothing softness, jazz vibes and raw wild loudness. It is Ecstatic Dance.

How I spent many hours a week
Gliding through the landscape
Meditating while driving
Breathing, being present, watching sunsets ;)

I love driving, being in my bubble
It helps me to ground and prepare before a gig
And helps me to settle down after an Ecstatic high energy journey
So so grateful this is my "job"!

Past week was filled with so much beauty. I almost didn’t capture it with a camera. Better just to live and love life I guess. From Conscious Camping (by @ecstaticdance_gathering) to ED Breda to @landvanyemaya_retraitecentrum celebrating @hanna.koppenaal .

But this shot I couldn’t resist.
The new temple at Land van Yemaya.

And next week some more beauty coming up at an almost sold-out EDFH. A few last minute spots available!

I’ll try to take some more photos, because… I enjoy creating a composition, playing with colours and lights.

Supergrateful to share dance and music at the magical gatherings of the tribe.

Sunday the 29th of May, last edition of this season of Ecstatic Dance Universe before we have a long summer break.

Oh, baby, I love organising this. I've been a busy boy the past months, but still I love to put my energy and love into ED Universe. Taking care like a mother/father of this baby with all my heart, being supported by an amazing team, inviting guest DJ's and ceremony leaders.

In September we start again, but before that... I wish we finish this season with a beautiful dance where we celebrate our uniqueness, meditating on the sounds and silence, praying with our whole body, dancing this infinite cosmic dance called life.

All info you find on Hipsy, the FB page or my website.

Am I Queer / Straight / Gay? This question has ne

Am I Queer / Straight / Gay?

This question has never interested me so much…

I am me
And I fall in love with you
(or not)
That’s it.

But I have “appeared” as what some call a bisexual person. I’ve felt attracted to men and women, and experienced beautiful encounters with both.

I have "appeared" as a non-binary human. I feel internally there is a strong female part in me, although I’m born in a male body. Sometimes I love to wear a skirt or earrings, especially when I dance.

Today I read a post by Chris about her experience being in a relationship with a women and how her surroundings respond. It touched me. It was beautifully written and I recognise parts of myself in it (go read it!).

Tonight after a magical ecstatic set at Odessa I share with the team. I struggle to find words. But it’s something like this: I’m longing to break the "man dances with woman" stereotype as a community. Especially inviting more intimacy between men at Ecstatic Dance. Without it having to mean something like: Now you are gay/queer/...

Men having an intimate connection is quite rare, and this feels very charged. A lot of trauma and conditioning. I mean: Dancing by yourself is already quite charged culturally for a man. Dancing intimately with another man even more. There is a lot of work to be done and there seems to be a lot of 'not knowing'.

Sometimes I feel a bit sad and alone in this, struggling how to draw attention to this topic in a balanced way. I feel a desire to be together with others in this formless “queerness”, which means to me:
The truth of being me
And you being you
Allowing love, intimacy, sensuality OR WHATEVER in the contact with another, without having to define/control what it means, or what comes out of it. Just because I have an intimate dance with a man, does not require to define what it means. You CAN. But don't HAVE TO.

Right now I am in a committed connection with Eline, a woman. And I love it! We moved from a very open non-binary relationship into a smaller nest with two parents and a child for some time. Maybe tomorrow it changes. Or in a few years. Or not. We both don't know and we are open, discovering everyday anew what LOVE is like.

Oh boy, am I looking forward to this Festival. Yes

Oh boy, am I looking forward to this Festival. Yes, this is another announcement in the world of social media. But Ecstatic Dance Festival @ The Berckt is really really dear to my heart. Six(!) days of connecting with the Ecstatic Dance tribe. With this year an international & fresh line-up. 12-17 juli. And I’ll play a set as well 🧞‍♀️🎧🎵

The magic that can arise when we dive in to free self expression for a week is… magic. Why I love it? During the dance there is just what arises in the moment. For me this is empowering dancers to connect deeper to what is real, what is a true expression of yourself in this moment? How can you move with it? It helps to really incarnate, YES, to live in the body. Although the cosmos is also beautiful, I want to live this “cosmic” magic on the muddy earth. Not to escape it, but to live, to become alive more fully. For this our body, our breath, our dancing and celebrating tribe is needed.

This tribe, where we all agree not to speak words during the dance. So simple. Yet so powerful. A different way of listening, amplified by the group together going on this journey. During this week this field grows and enables you to go even deeper than during a ‘normal’ ecstatic.

Oh, and there is delicious food, beautiful concerts, workshops, private massages or haircuts.

I have such good memories of playing sets here, so delighted and grateful to do it again this year. One of my highlights as a DJ was an unexpected extra set I played 2 years ago. If you were there, you know it, hahaha. If not, maybe join us this time and see what will happen. Because it is always a mystery, a new moment, a new journey. Hope you’ll join me!

Still in love with Ecstatic Dance 💛
And tomorrow (Sunday) we dance again. This time at my homebase in Utrecht at Ecstatic Dance Universe. Find tickets on Hipsy or my website. Link in bio.

Ik hoor de vogels door mijn open raam. Ze zingen gedag tegen de avondzon, begroeten de nacht met hun lied. Zachte ambient muziek vult mijn werkruimte. Dagen spendeer ik hier achter mijn scherm, soms van vroeg tot laat. Creatie drift uiten in de vorm van websites en apps bouwen. Veel muziek verzamelen, organiseren, luisteren en sinds kort ook weer produceren in mijn thuisstudio.

Eigenlijk heb ik 3 banen op dit moment.
1. Vader
2. Muzikant
3. Coder

Na een tip van Anouk ging ik via Toggl mijn exacte werkuren bijhouden voor baan 2 en 3. En de afgelopen 2 weken spendeerde ik 60-70 uur werkend. Bijna alle andere uren ben ik met Noura en/of Eline.

Ergens is het confronterend. Ben ik een workaholic? Eline zegt ja 😅
Maar ik doe ook precies wat ik wil doen. Ik voel me erg dankbaar voor deze 3 banen.

Dankbaar om via muziek mensen mee te nemen op reis, allerlei genres draaien in een bedding van woordeloze aandacht en authentieke zelf expressie. Het contact met de vele dansers, de organisatoren, de andere muzikanten voelt rijk.

Dankbaar om de nieuwe Hipsy app voor iOS en Android te bouwen of het nieuwe project Verbonden Wijsheid gestart door Yvonne. Mensen waarmee de samenwerking stroomt, waarbij er ruimte is voor echtheid gecombineerd met hartgedragen creatie.

Dankbaar voor het gevoel een volwaardige vader te zijn. Bewust vanaf dag 1 (of eigenlijk al dag -270) er zijn. Als vader, als lief, als mens. Oooo man wat kost het energie, investeren, elke keer weer opnieuw gaan staan (ja, dus ook als ouder). Maar de vruchten daarvan zijn ook zichtbaar.

Mijn kritische stem zegt: “Moet ik dit wel delen? Het klinkt zo kijk-mij-nou.”
Mijn levensgenieter zegt: “Ja maar kijk dit kan gewoon!! SHINE!”
“Ja maar veel mensen hebben het zo moeilijk… oorlog, de wereld gaat naar de klote”

Adem in adem uit.
Tijd om te gaan slapen

By the way
Happy (pino) piano day!
