DJ J Wiley
A journey into narrow liminal spaces of emotion that expands and explodes into bliss, all while cradling us with melody and enthralling us with rhythm. Expect a mixture of ambience, deep house, and classic ecstatic dance energy.
Jared is an avid ecstatic dancer that believes joy and play are at the heart of community and create the very magic of life. He is delighted to host his second set at Om, and can't wait to see you on the floor!
