About this event
📆𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 FRIDAY @Common Ground
Get ready for a special event!
On Friday 31st of July our ecstatic rave will see a combining of forces by David Huson and dj Guatambu
David Huson combines his background in traditional flamenco guitar with modern styles, from hip hop and jazz to experimental electronica. His guitarplaying is amplified with synthesizers, effects and samplers. This live-looping performance is woven together with an eclectic set of a wide variety of genres by Guatambu. Through years of crate-digging, Guatambu crafts deep journeys from a huge collection of carefully selected songs.
Expect a wild ride of improvised chemistry between these two artists🔥
No pressure, no performance
just music, movement, and space to be yourself.
Different from ecstatic dance, the raves are a playground for DJ’s to experiment and for us dancers to explore.
The Ecstatic Rave is in its core still about simply dancing freely together
the vibe is relaxed, grounded, and easy going.
Expect new types of music, different intensities, and unfamiliar experiences.
We created it out of a love for dancing and connecting through movement.
