Lacey IQ Tracks & Remixes

07 Holy Grail
Beat: https://soundcloud.com/liveforthefunk/stwo-lovin-u

I felt this beat so much that one of my all time fav songs naturally came out. I know I wanted to change the rap to what I portray in my mind, written by my talented best friend @vanvincent2

You'd take the clothes off my back and I'd let you
You'd steal the food right out my mouth and I'd watch you eat it
And I still don't why, why our love is so much
You curse my name, in spite to put me to shame
Hang my laundry on the streets, dirty or clean, give it up for fame
And I still don't know why, why I love it so much

Baby, it's amazing I'm in this maze with you, I just can't crack your code
One day you screaming you love me loud, the next day you're so cold
One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care
It's so unfair, sipping from your cup till it runneth over, Holy Grail

Blue im bathing in baptism
Circling in silence, write the algorithm
Feel my soul growing cancer
Quiet is the owner of the only answer

Amen to the righteous
Annunciation the night
Genesis on the lips of a fight
Rather die blind than live by thy sight
A vision mystified by time
The prophecy still I write
My fate plays with a sharp knife 

Fuck the fakes kneeling before me
What i do I'm real see 
I follow the blood flow
Never being someone else but me
Astral the connection, yeah
With beauty comes death and prayer 
Of light, living the future
ARTBEAT, Archangel Rare

07 Holy Grail

I wrote Young Queen a year ago as an anthem to the powerful, determined, fearless and kind-hearted women in my life and around world. We are sometimes perceived as too sensitive and weak but we are here to be as free and beautiful as we believe we are. No matter how hard are the endeavors you go through, remember you are beautiful, so wear your crown.

Bless the time 
The stars aligned
 When we arrived 
And started doing our thing

I mean 
Laugh, dance and drink
 Chasing time for the little things 
Talk, walk and look within 
Beyond the beauty

She lives fast, has a tricky past, always on the run 
 She has time to run her things and she'll still be your gun 
She stands up for her beliefs and plays sharper than a knife 
She is that kind of woman, as a woman, you need in life

Hey you, you make my world spin 
Better even when my mood swings  
Yeah you, you young queen 
You shine brighter than what you think

Hey you, you young queen
 You run this shit baby 
When things don't roll how they should 
Don't be sad

With such a caring loving soul
 And your lipstick alongside your speech 
Tell me, how ain't you in control? 
When your values are so rich

Prod. by Mr. Krash

LYRICS
you swallowed the divide & conquer serving a digitized master 
chasing after numbers what truth do they tell
you isolate rip apart imperfections stare down societies reflections
bloody past bloody present but your own health you’ve gone neglecting
power alway places outside amassing wealth for consumer pride
your fortress piled high with useless things once made you smile
you’re warring with yourself on best actions to move cultural wealth
out hands of greed’s manipulation but with your sisters engage competition

you can’t dispel dark feeling unworthy of love
no you can’t dispel dark feeling unworthy of love
so rise up star to some you’re a sun
yeah rise up star to some you’re sun 

and shine

Breaking Shadows

SHINE

Having a love for the drum we had to take this song off the Brave Star album and give it a house remix.

Let Me - Lacey IQ Remix

This is a sonic offering to those who just like to jog, sell cigarettes, sell CDs, walk to the store, walk home with a bag of Skittles, go to church, have a cellphone, play their music loudly, ask for help after being in a car crash, play with a toy gun, sleep, relax in the comfort of their own home, want to party on NYE, decorate for a party, take a walk with their grandfather, read a book in their own car, shop at Walmart, take out their wallet, maintain dignity, occupy public space, run, breathe...live. These words and sounds are dedicated to those who are exhausted by simply existing. Photo by @oladimeg. Follow me @itsabyrd.

All my gigs over the next 6-8 months have all been cancelled so if you dig the vibes please share and I'd really appreciate any support you can provide. Venmo @Aaron-Byrd-1 & Cash App $abyrd1818.

Pronounced "SAH-ree-yah Ee-dAn"
Sariyah Idan is a New York bred and New Orleans based independent singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet, dancer, and educator. Jazz and folk trained, hip-hop educated, and influenced by both Latinx/Caribbean sounds and her Jewish roots, she has an "ability to seamlessly combine a wide variety of disparate styles and sonics into a memorable sound all her own," (Tinnitist). She views honoring the sounds of both influences and ancestors as a form of cultural activism while her lyricism is hailed as "powerful, soulful, spirited songs filled with stories of struggle, love and social justice" (Fusicology).  
Sariyah’s music has featured on Pacifica and NPR stations, WWOZ, college and online radio platforms. She’s rocked iconic venues The Kennedy Center in DC,  Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, Nuyorican Poets Cafe in NYC, PANDA Platforma in Berlin, French Quarter Fest, regularly plays House of Blues NOLA, and is the host/producer of monthly event Songs For The People at The Howlin’ Wolf. In 2019 she was a Virginia Giordono Memorial Fund Honoree for performances of her debut LP “Breaking Shadows” recorded in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Lisbon. Her first album recorded in New Orleans, “Glitter & Blood”, releases in fall 2023 and is a continued collaboration with Berlin based engineer/co-producer Andy Schlegel.
Sariyah has shared stages with legends Pete Seeger, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Yusef Lateef. As a regular street performer in New Orleans she is known among locals as “the most hauntingly beautiful voice of New Orleans’ streets.”

Lacey IQ is a Texas-born, LA-settled electronic music obsessor and creator, remixer, and DJ, mixing tunes strictly for the love of dancers since the late 90's, and creating her own diversely-flavored catalogue of multi-genre music since the early 2000's. Influenced by the sounds of Chicago, New York, Detroit, Berlin, and London, her DJ sets often travel a road of many sounds--traveling between disco, tribal, acid, and afro house to deep, dark techno rhythms peppered with improvised samples, loops, and acapellas, it’s unlikely to hear the same set twice. Recently, a handful of releases on Krafted Underground, Good For You Records, and True House LA, as well as independently-released remixes for award-winning Southern California hip hop artist Artson and singer-songwriter Sariyah Idan have put IQ on the map across a diverse array of music communities as a skilled producer, remixer, and mix engineer. 

The entirety of the Lacey IQ catalogue illustrates her personal creative creed in every sense of the word: nobody feels one way all the time. Equally diverse is her stylistic taste in music production, which, outside of house, techno, and experimental funk, reaches into the realms of ambient, trip hop, synth pop, and chillwave, via her self-professed “softer side” and alter ego Inquiri. Inquiri currently has three full-length albums--2010’s sweet but epic ambient trip hop excursion Walk For Miles, followed by the release in 2014 of Semi-Human, a bizarre, emotional, and beautiful experiment with longtime friend, Japanese recording artist and classically-trained pianist and vocalist, Mayumi Kaneyuki. After a long hiatus, Inquiri was officially back in 2020 with a remix for LA-based synth pop goddess Dresage, followed in 2022 by the release of her first fully ambient album, Seven, released on beloved ambient imprint Stereoscenic Records. Shortly after Seven came her first vinyl pressing ever, on ambient and experimental powerhouse label Past Inside The Present, where she appeared alongside an astonishing lineup of other female ambient music artists on the benefit compilation, Healing Together. 2023 will see at least two more major releases from Inquiri.
