About DJ Mikaya

MIKAYA (Micah Swabb) is an Ecstatic Dance DJ and facilitator for cathartic dance events. He has a deep understanding of set arrangements for drug-free dance events, yoga classes and ceremonies through his 12+ years of experience. MIKAYA’s mixes inspire meditation through movement in ways that widen the scope of one’s self-awareness and self-expression.

His mixes use a wide variety of musical genres like global bass, tropical house, techno, glitch hop, downtempo, classical and ambient. These musical journeys begin peacefully, build momentum and contrast, and then land softly with resolution and grace. MIKAYA also produces mash-ups and mini-mixes in various genres. He teaches people how to make world class ecstatic dance mixes both from his home in Asheville, NC and virtually online.

Movement Lab

The Movement Lab for the month of August will be led by John E Gray, aka Professor Gray Balls, encourager of play, facilitator of improv arts, and instigator of consenting connection.

This lab will focus on ways us human beings can have fun by being humans. Each week we’ll focus on a different way we can collaboratively create by getting our thinky brains out of the way and letting our subconscious drive us to playful places like Love City and Silly Town, maybe even Togethernessberg.

Vocal Improv to Instrumental Music Lab

We’ll be accompanying instrumental music tracks with silly jibberish vocals as an easy gateway to explore how we can get our brains out of the way to let our subconscious flow. Building towards the utilization of on-the-spot lyric creation using the tactics of storytelling, theme exploration, perhaps even therapeutically communicating with loved ones in a way you find challenging to do in their presence. This, in the communal support of letting go of ego to make whatever singing, grunting, groaning, whaling, moaning, clapping, snapping, beatboxing, rapping sounds the music and your soul call you to make. Chances are, you’ll be surprised what comes out.
