July '20 Desk IV- Open

Welcome back to our podcast series!

We are beyond happy to share with you this week's episode narrated by super talented, New York based dj and promoter, @imanrizky

Iman Rizky was bred on house beats from the early '80s and '90s.  His relationship with dance music back then was a transcendental experience every weekend at places like New York City's Red Zone, the Tunnel, Limelight’s Disco 2000, the Sound Factory, and the legendary Twilo.  Iman became a promoter for the Tunnel, Limelight, and the Palladium during the club scene era of the late '80s.  His immersion in the heyday of club culture in NYC prompted the pursuit of his true life-long passion of DJing. With his extensive knowledge of dance music from both participation and promotion, he was able to cultivate a unique DJ sound to call his own.  As the club scene era wound down and the dance music scene went underground in the early 2000s, Iman formed the party production group, Ku-Deta, which put together events stateside as well as internationally.  Around the same time, he started his weekly DJ residency at SEA in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where he continues to play on Fridays and Sundays.

Ku-Deta provided a precursory template for ebb + flow music, an NYC-based production company that Iman Rizky founded with Gavin Stephenson in 2013. The underground parties of ebb + flow music have brought consistent high quality music and an undeniably contagious vibe to the dance music scene. As an ebb + flow resident, Iman's DJ sets are laden with minimal groovy beats layered with melodic sounds that build in a cycle of high peaks and low valleys. He takes the crowd on a thrilling roller coaster ride of music that elevates the mind, moves the body, and satisfies the soul. In the summer of 2014, Iman took ebb + flow to another level with collaboration on music production with Justin Marchacos and Gavin Stephenson. The trio became Second Format and has been producing tracks with driving bass lines and catchy, danceable hooks. Justin and Second Format's Giants EP was released on the Cityfox label and charted in the Top 10 on Beatport within its first week.
​
His constant motivation, desire to please and ability to bring people together to enjoy great music have made him one of the most respected and innovative DJs of today’s music scene.  He has shared spots alongside world class artists including Audiofly, Behrouz,  Clarian, DAVI, Einmusik, Hoj, Jamie Jones, Mark Slee, Nico Stojan, Oona Dahl, Robbie Akbal, Tara Brooks, Tim Green, Tim Engelhardt, Vincent Casanova, Yokoo and many more.

Epiphany Podcast #84 - Iman Rizky

Hi, thanks for having me on your show, as I'm traveling at this time, I had to make the mix in Ableton. I included some unreleased tracks from All Day I Dream and Souksonic, starting off with a downtempo track from Hermanez called "Muskitam." Further into the mix we pick up the pace with some undiscovered floor fillers.
 
As Lost Desert, I do not want to stick to one vibe or genre—something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!

I want to thank the fans, the daydreamers who keep us sane and alive, and those who give us hope and positive energy—like you!

Pura Vida friends - It’s with goosebumps that I share with you the recording of my sunrise set at Envision 2023 in the jungle of Uvita in Costa Rica. 

It was an honour to have the chance to soundtrack the last sunrise of the festival on the Lapa Stage. 

It’s my second time participating at this powerful gathering, but the first time doing a deep dive and camping on site for 7 days. What an incredible experience! The jungle comes with its challenges, including the heat, the humidity, the bugs and the lack of sleep. But it’s so much worth it!

I believe these moments outside the comfort of our home are actually allowing us to feel alive, bond with our fellow camp companions, and appreciate the highs even more. 

  Apart from being an incredibly unique festival experience with a beautifully diverse music programming, the one thing that is blowing my mind is its focus on sustainability, innovation and environmental initiatives. 

Let’s not fool ourselves, a lot of foreigners including artists are flying from around the world for this event like many other destination festivals, so there’s clearly an important carbon footprint coming from that movement. 

But once you get to the festival grounds, you can instantly feel that respecting Mother Nature is at the core of the intentions of Envision. From the bamboo used to build the stages to the respect of the land, from the water consumption to the fully compostable food merchants, from the waste management to the Eco Hub where you can learn about ecology…

The most exciting thing I discovered is the “SOMOS EL CAMBIO” project that is a reforestation initiative in partnership with the local indigenous communities that invites the participants to adopt trees and plant various species to create a natural corridor that links the top of the mountain to the sea, which is essential for water systems, fauna and flora. 

In addition to that, Envision offers an abundance of workshops, discussions, meditations, sound healings, women’s circles, vegan food, healthy drinks…proof that a large scale sonic gathering can actually evolve into a transformative experience beyond entertainment. That’s in my opinion an important vessel for change on the individual and collective scale and I’m hopeful a lot of events around the world will take this direction that is more aligned with Earth’s frequency. 

 Days and nights flew by, and suddenly it’s Sunday morning…time to get ready! All the stories, conversations and inspirations from different events during the week lead me to collect clues and pieces of the puzzle along the way which brought me have a better idea of what I would want to play for the sunrise moment. 

The Sunday programming was awesome, with music from  Marques Wyatt, Zach Walker, SIS and Township Rebellion. I started at 4:30 am as the night was still dark, following up Township who played a really cool energetic nocturnal session. He landed with quite a groovy track and it felt the energy was really high on the floor when I got to start. 

So quite in the opposite polarity of a traditional evolving set, this one started with a quite electric feel, blooming into a warmer and light daytime morning vibe.  

The first beams of light started appearing as I played ‘Tantale’ - Rafaelle jumped in at this moment to add vocals and it felt like a symbolic timing to transition from Luna to Sol energy.  

Thanks to my partner Ashley for joining me in this journey, my awesome Montréal friends Dexter, Gabrielle, Patrice, Rafaelle, Thibault, Caterina, Hellan and so many more that brought such a good energy so we all give everything we’ve got to land the astral plane. Thanks to all the amazing humans who danced with us! 

Also thankful for Driss, Uma and all the Envision crew for the invitations. Kudos to the sound team who worked tirelessly to make some miracles happen in the wild jungle. 

May we keep dancing to connect a little bit more with who we are: nature. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this set!

I'm super happy to be able to share this recording with you, from what was one of my favourite musical gatherings of the year last year. So many friends and familiar faces as well as new beautiful people, all dancing barefoot in the sand with such an amazing energy having connected through breathwork, yoga, ceremony, river swims, and 2 days of shared festival energy and music. I picked things up from Horla and Aura Jade who did a great job building an amazing uplifting energy through the sunny Sunday afternoon. I started playing at 4pm when the sun was still bathing the dancefloor, the sky mostly clear, no worrying signs of the storm on the forecast. After about an hour of fun, dark clouds started rolling in, hiding the sun and bringing with it super strong winds and a total downpour. The canopy over the dancefloor started billowing, the people started going wild, howling and screaming, dancing like crazy, giving all their energy back to the storm through the music, surrendering completely to the moment! After some time the storm started to settle and we started floating. As we landed at the end of my time, the setting sun started to poke through the rain clouds and Opposite Direktion took over and closed the stage with an awesome performance. It's an evening I know I will remember for a long time and am so grateful have shared and co-created with all the amazing people there.

Many thanks to the FrontRite crew for having me and to all the beautiful dancers for sticking with me and vibing through the storm. I hope you enjoy listening!

For the launch of Zenify Music and the very first podcast in the series, we've invited "All Day I Dream" resident and LA's beloved Hoj to bring us a stress-free journey that spans across many genres, both new and old. Enjoy!

Words from Hoj:
"I try to let my mixes capture whatever mood I'm in at the time. I've been trying to chill-out recently, decompressing after a full-on year. A good time to do a stress-free mix for you guys. This session is at around 114 BPM and explores a bunch of different beats and rhythms. It's still deep and groovy, but in a more laid back kind of way. I've featured a lot of lush and beautiful tracks that I love but don't get to play out often."

For the creative mind, music offers an ideal formless space, where the only conceivable limits to self-expression might be imagination, or experience. This freedom is what has captivated Hauy, giving his avid nature a medium where he can transmit emotion as sensation in its purest form. Infusing his love for melodies and moody sounds with rhythms that blend cultures and genres, Hauy’s meticulously detailed productions walk the line between the structured dynamics of electronic music and a visceral melt of emotion. His DJ sets carry the same depth and intimacy as his recordings, drawing us into a deeply authentic, melancholic yet hopeful world rich in tones and textures. Join us for his opening Saturday set at Pink Mammoth, Burning Man 2017.
