VESICA is an Oakland-based Ecstatic Dance DJ whose journey began in the early days at the Ecstatic Dance at Sweets Ballroom in 2008. In 2010, VESICA co-founded Ecstatic Dance Berlin —the movement’s first international offshoot— helping spark its worldwide spread. Since then, VESICA has been invited to share sets across the world, from Lightning in a Bottle and cities like Los Angeles, Nevada City, and Oakland, to far-reaching dance floors in Moscow, Bukarest, Barcelona, and Ibiza.
VESICA is a dancers’ DJ with a predilection for soulful organic world beats and scrumptious global bass. Her sets are poly-genre, tempo-morphing, dance floor love that irresistibly moves feet, hips and heart into a deep and embodied journey of catharsis and transformation. VESICA invites you to lose and find yourself in the dance.

Jämi Deva is a treasured part of the Big Island Ecstatic Scene as both a leader and a performer. Often, he can be found accompanying Sunday DJs at Kalani and now MOVEMENT SF with live percussions. Jämi elegantly plays live percussion which uniquely activates the shamanic potential of the dance floor. His beats are a ceremonial carnival of epic proportion. His artistry is truly unique – he is gifted and clearly called to hold some very new and transformational frequencies.
