AustraliaElkemist is a versatile multi-instrumentalist, hybrid live DJ who plays multi-genre sets rooted in mystical sounds and ethnic flavours. With a deep love of tribal bass blended with rising slowtempo energy, his sets are curated to take audiences on a sacred journey of sonic alchemy spanning 60-100bpm and beyond, supported by live looping with didjeridoo, vocals and percussion.
Elkemist also facilitates a weekly ecstatic dance in Nelson, BC (Canada) called Dance Wave, as well as co-hosting regular community ceremonial gatherings, and runs a bi-weekly men’s circle. Beyond building community and co-creating safe spaces for authentic expression, Elkemist has also contributed sets to festivals around Canada and Australia including Shambhala (CAN), Wicked Woods (CAN), Dragon Dreaming (AUS), Chrysalis (CAN), Elevate (CAN), Tribe Ascension (AUS), The Magic Garden (AUS) and Kootenay Yoga Festival (CAN).
Whether it’s a rising tribal bass journey, sacred gathering, ecstatic dance or sunrise festival set, expect a voyage across space and time, inspired by sounds from around the world to encourage dancers to move beyond the perceived limits of their bodies and minds.
