Founder of BrilliantlyMad and born into the entertainment world 30 years ago, David was blending music together on cassette tapes even before entering the dance scene in 1998. Remixing his favorites songs together creates a unique heartfelt style of beautiful music that always leaves the dance floor with an inspiring experience. Captain Krack was his alias on the decks until 2006 when he opened up for the Greens Keepers on New Years Eve and Richie Hawtin at Sound Bar. After this highlighted year he left the Captain "wise" Krack on the performance level and shifted his focus on his initials D.J.Z.

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you catch a moonbeam in your hand?
How do you describe a sound that knows no genre?
The answer is: you can’t.  His taste is colourful, timeless, genre- blind and all encompassing. His influences are as diverse as his sound is uplifting, somehow reaching for the sun in an intangible vibe you can’t quite define.

Mike Cohen, MA, founder of Kirtan Leader Institute, loves working with those who feel called to share Kirtan with others, and who possess big ambitions around personal development and contribution through Kirtan. Mike guides his students to build thriving chant communities, lead with power and grace, write compelling original music, tour, play at festivals, create albums and much more.

A life-long musician with 15 years experience developing leaders, Mike created a proven methodology for training and apprenticing Kirtan Leaders based around four relevant domains for leading Kirtan: Musicianship, Embodied Leadership, Community Building and Spirituality. Mike teaches within the discourses of Western and Indian music, Somatics, Integral, Ontology, Enneagram, Embodied Leadership and Dattatreya Spirituality to help Kirtan Leaders build skill and confidence in serving others through the ancient/modern practice of sacred chant. Since 2010 Mike has trained and apprenticed hundreds of aspiring and emerging Kirtan Leaders across the globe.

Mike has released two critically acclaimed albums, and in 2016 will release new music created with legendary producer Ben Leinbach. For over a decade, Mike has toured North America, offering accessible and potent Kirtan events in yoga studios, healing centers and at yoga/chant festivals. Mike lives in Boulder, CO where he leads Kirtan, trains Kirtan Leaders and offers coaching, training. leadership development and mediation services.

Deep reverence, a sense of ritual, and ecstatic peaks of singing and dancing remain the vibe at live Devi 2000 kirtans. The group, led by Debi Buzil, pioneered the Midwest U.S. kirtan chanting scene with a monthly, decade-plus musical residency at Chicago's Moksha Yoga. 

The musical East-meets-West musical explorations continue with LIVE PERFORMANCES such as the “Būm Būm” recordings posted here — in glorious lo-fi, from March 2014 at Moksha.

Additionally, STUDIO RECORDINGS serve as a springboard for experimentation with new influences, arrangements and genres. Three collections, offered in CD and digital formats, are available from CD Baby, iTunes and EarthWe. A fourth is nearing completion.

KIRTAN IS...chanting, wrapped in a fusion of joyful noise that can incorporate the reflective drones of India…the upbeat lilt of reggae…an electrifying rock melody…a powerful dance beat from your favorite dance club…and much more. 

The term "kirtan" is based on the Sanskrit word for "singing." The practice is as much a part of yoga as are asanas (poses), meditation and breathing. Kirtan removes energy blocks, heals the spirit at deep levels and facilitates your attainment of a heightened sense of awareness.
