Night Queen 🌙 NYE Portal

I'm excited to share that my new ambient album “Ocoyo” is out on Desert Trax today, which is a tribute to the incredible bio diversity of the jungles of Guatemala and rainforest of Ecuador, and the teachings I've received from various lineages. Through this music, I aim to express my deep appreciation for the natural beauty of our planet. This album is dedicated to Delfin & Cesario Piaguaje of the Siekopai tribe, true masters of the Amazon, who have blessed me with their wisdom in the Maloka. The essence of the lotus, the rose, as well as other plants and fungi, have been woven into the fabric of each track on this album. I am grateful for the wisdom and guidance of these allies, and for their assistance in the creation of this music. I am continually in awe of the incredible power and knowledge that can be found within the plant kingdom. 

All tracks produced and mixed by Iyakuh.

Liquid Bloom Dj Set @ Lucidity 2023

🌿 This was a deep one. I had a such a beautiful time opening for Mose at the Cacao Dance event that I also helped produce via Boulder Ecstatic Dance! 

It was a sold out show with over 350 people, a beautiful & intentional moment drinking Cacao facilitated by Bruna Bortolato right after my set, and vocal accompaniment from Matia Kalli during the Cacao, Mose's set, and to close out. 

During my set, I was joined by Nizhóní with Ngoni & Cello, and I played a bamboo Peruvian flute while DJing. 

Hope you enjoy this set as much as I do 🌱

Vajra Mind - Ambient mix by AMANI

Volume 1 • Imagika Om Live at Kalani, Big Island, Hawaii • Sunday Morning Ecstatic Dance • July 29, 2024

My ecstatic dance set from Kalani’s legendary Sunday morning dance on the Big Island, July 29, 2024.  This is the first of a series of mixes I will be releasing this summer.

I opened the space singing live over an unreleased track co-created with Tyler Gibson, Vajra & Creative Frequencies, featuring my swarmandal & frame drum. Creative Frequencies performed live with me—layering bowls, gongs & vocals—while Vajra added didgeridoo, together weaving a live raw portal into the dance, & shared the joy of jamming our track live.

The dance journey flows through deep bass, melodic medicine, tribal textures, & reflects the vibe here on Big Island & our dance.  May this offering guide you into your body, & your own remembering wherever you are. 

We closed the space with a sound healing, once again with Creative Frequencies: I’m on live vocals, Crystal Matrix on handpan & gong, and Kurt with vocals and bowls, gently guiding the dancers back into stillness and integration.

I haven’t released a mix since 2020 & not on this page for even twice as long as that—even though I’ve been playing all along. A part of me has loved keeping the music in the moment, ephemeral, secret.  But another part of me is rising once again, ready to return to bringing the energy out to the rest of the world.

This summer, I’m opening the vault.
More mixes coming soon.
Stay tuned...

Imagika Om is an aural alchemist; music producer, DJ, performer, event producer, teacher, world traveler, & life artist. 



Her mystical music brings together sounds that span the globe.  She has played her music from California to Morocco & Egypt, Italy to the Caribbean, Guatemala to Goa, Hawaii to Costa Rica, & many places in between.  She has woven a magic tapestry of sounds & dance experiences in beautiful environments & next-level events throughout the world.   

​

A sonic ceremonialist, Imagika Om brews a potent blend of rhythms bending time & space where movement ride the waves of our experience, probing possibilities, & unlocking magic through A cosmic dance of ancient essence -  An ecstatic cascade of release & rapture.



Imagika activates the dance floor with her unique style - a potent blend of live remixes, loops & layers, live instruments & vocals that transport the dancer into another realm that defies genres, while embracing, celebrating, & elevating all that we are in every moment.  

​

Some of the ingredients in her unique sound palette include exotic, erotic tantric temple trap, tribal primal percussion, mid-tempo heartbeat house, lush latina bruja beats, ancient future fourth-world sounds, ritualistic rhythms, world-fusion, organic EDM, deep devotional Om-step, shaktified sound-healing bliss, & of course, kundalini-raising bass.  



Her dance journeys flow deep & delicious, running the full spectrum of tempos & genres for soul-body activation.  She listens, watches, senses, sees & feels the dance floor - responding with what she knows the dancers want most, always to the sweating prayers of the crowd.

​

Imagika was born & raised in LA, & is based in LA & Hawaii.  She has played everything from underground gatherings, billionaire private parties, celebrity hot-spots, club residencies, festivals, large-scale Hollywood events, & 5-star resorts to sacred sites & special events all over the world.  She has played Coachella Music Festival 5x, Lighting in a Bottle 4x, Envision Festival 3x, the Rainbow Serpent Festival in Australia, Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland, Alchemeyez conference in Hawaii 1 & 2, Symbiosis Total Eclipse Gathering, & the Great Convergence Gathering during Winter Solstice 2012 in Egypt,  Imagika has also played & performed in various camps (Roots Society, Fractal-Nation, Sacred Spaces, Entheon, Hooka-dome) at Burning Man through the years since 1999.

  Imagika has loved music & dance since she can remember, beginning her relationship with music as a dance performer & performance ritual producer in 1999.  Prompted by the desire to create a new way to dance & relate to music that was different than what was being played at the time, she created something that didn’t exist - remixing & producing music for her performances to further customize the experience.  Her reality expanded to producing & performing with groups such as Lucent Dossier, Dream Circus, Ayaserpent, Auracle, & Urban Gypsy.   She co-produced the score for "Isis Vision" with the Human Experience for a half hour multi-media performance at Burning Man at the Temple.  She also co-produced "Maat Magic" for Lucent Dossier Experience's performance at Coachella's main stage, & produced "Breathe your Dreams to Life" which was performed by Lucent Dossier for the Dali Lama's 80th birthday celebration with an audience of 10,000 people. 



She delighted downtown LA as resident DJ at the famed Edison for the Lucent Dossier's nights, that drew celebrities like Johnny Depp, & Scarlett Johansson & attracted underground artists alike, creating & curating exotic & surreal musical soundtracks for 2 years every week.  With Lucent Dossier, she also brought her passion to venues ranging from the Liberty Theatre in NYC's Times Square, to a Venetian Palace on the Grand Canal in Italy for Elon Musk for his 40th birthday, & tech luminaries like Sundar Pichai.  



Her performance background is reflected in her musical style, & is heard in her ability to create compelling, unique, atmospheric soundscapes for performances, environments,  & special events.  



She released her classic "Cosmic Sutras" album through Merkaba Music, bringing forth tracks that are both earthy & ethereal, filled with primal beats & bass, mystical mantras, & atmospheric layers sparking cosmic remembrance. 



Over the years, she has also explored other genres with her own unique style, such as bellydance beats, latin grooves, & Goddess pop in her singles. She continues to dive deep, exploring new sounds in her current works in progress & live improvisations.

Imagika was initiated into the Sri Vidya Shakti Tantra path in India by Sri Amritananda natha Saraswati of Devipuram in 2012 & has been deep in this lineage since then with other teachers & disciples in this path such as the late Psalm Isadora, Nisha Bhairavi, & Maa Uma-Parvathi Natha.  Imagika is authorized to teach Sri Vidya with her teacher's blessing.  She is also an initiated Priestess of the 13 Moon Oracle with Ariel Spillsbury, as well as a certified spiritual counselor with the Dolphin Star Temple Mystery School lineage. 



She has been blessed to visit & study with many other great female spiritual leaders & teachers around the world throughout her life, such as the High Priestess of Bali, Ida Resi Alit, & has also studied drumming with Miranda Rondeau & Layne Redmond who wrote "When Women were Drummers.”  

​

Based on her spiritual sadhana, Imagika has created unique sacred dance, movement journeys & meditations.  She shares her knowledge at various workshops at festivals, temples, & retreats around the world.  Over the years she has helped many with their spiritual & musical evolution. She has been a music mentor & Ableton teacher, as well as a spiritual guide through her various esoteric traditions.
