Landjuweel, Ruigoord 2024 – Willow Portal’s Cosmic Leakage

We’ve built the willow portal to channel the cosmic leakage of Ruigoord into your body through all of the senses.

It was my pleasure to create a special musical journey into the depths of Saturday night with a blend of mesmerising electronica filled with scintillating vibrations, obscure textures, other-worldly melodies and subtle resonances rooted in the other side of consciousness.

To be honest, this might be one of my favourite sets I’ve ever played. Feeling free to not just play straight bangers, but delving into the more subtle and refined realms of electronic music and using that to create a different kind of blissed out energy on the dance floor, is an absolute blessing!

Ecstatic Dance – Estonian Midsummer – Tallinn

It was my honour to be invited to play the Midsummer Solstice in the beautiful Pirita Cloister ruins in Tallinn, Estonia. I can barely imagine a more suitable location to dance in tribute to the sun.

An open sky, surrounded by the ruined medieval walls: a place to stand with the movements of the past, and evoke them to dance into the future with us.

The perfect starting point for this musical journey was a psalm by Hildegard von Bingen, which I imagine to have been sung here since the cloister opened in 1407: Spiritus Sanctus Vivificans, a song that seems as much an ode to the sun as anything else. From there I wove together the old and the new from all the far flung reaches of the world, following the the lines of the beginning:

The Holy Spirit: living and life-giving,
the life that’s all things moving,
the root in all created being:
of filth and muck it washes all things clean—
out-scrubbing guilty staining, its balm our wounds constraining—
and so its life with praise is shining,
rousing and reviving
all.

Ecstatic Dance – Groningen Christmas 2023

After a wonderful december playing around the Netherlands and Austria, it was time to upload one of my favourite sets of the past month. This one was played in Groningen!
From some modern classical ambient and jazz interpretation of classic trip hop tracks, to deep mesmerising techno and funky jazzy bass tracks, moving between the Apalachian mountains, Japan, Bollywood, Warsaw and acid laced Arabian deserts.

Landjuweel 2023 – Wilgenportaal – inphiknight x DJ+ x LY Foulidis

It was an absolute honour to put together the program for the entire Saturday of this amazing new area that we built in Ruigoord this year: het Wilgenportaal. We carved a little wonderland from between the willow trees, elderflowers and blackberry bushes in a never before used part of the village.
During the day we had lectures, story telling and lovely songs and live music. But I had something special planned for the night, and this is the entire recording of what transpired.

Autumn Hearth Mixtape

After many requests for uploading some more of my ambient style mixes, here is a nice blend of mind bending ambient, art-pop, classical, jazz and braindance that jives well with sitting around at home staring out the window towards grey skies and rainy streets, with a cat on your lap and a warm hearth near your feet.
