Not gonna lie, the year of the horse started with a sauna, ice baths, and a whole lot of fungi talk. HorsegiirL’s Lunar New Year listening party at Othership Williamsburg was less of a concert and more of a wellness cult ceremony. I showed up to a sweat box heated to 162°F, a guided breathwork meditation, and a cold plunge that made me feel like I’d been hit by a horse (literally). But hey, if you’re going to vibe with a German producer who’s half horse, you gotta embrace the chaos.
The sauna was basically a survival test. I legit felt like I was going to die (or at least pass out) during the meditation, but once my parasympathetic nervous system kicked in, I entered this weird flow state where I could’ve probably solved world hunger. Then came the ice bath—my body lasted seven seconds before I sprinted to the tea room, where monks in earthy garb were trying to meditate on a moss patch. HorsegiirL showed up in a horse mask, and the room went silent. She didn’t play music. She gave a fungi TED Talk.
“Fungi are the original internet,” she said, explaining how they’re like underwater rivers that water the whole ecosystem. “We need to be more like them—connected, communal, not individualistic.” The crowd nodded, some people even mumbled “hmms” like they were in a cult. Then she played a glitchy song about fungi, and suddenly we were all dancing on ‘70s couches in wet bikinis, rotating our heads to mimic Earth’s spin. She handed out crystals like it was a wellness pop-up, and by the third song, we were all shaking our butts to “Hands” like we were at a rave.
Her new track “Only The Best” had her pressing her hand to people’s heads to “give you fire horse energy.” I was front-row, so I got the full blessing. She closed the night with a song about the beach, and we were all sweating in our swim trunks, screaming along to her hits. Her advice? “Stop manifesting passively. Take action. Believe in yourself.”
💫 So, are you ready to ride into 2024 like a total horse goddess.
