In his dj sets he selects both bold and sublime musical choices that create a sound that isn't easily labeled. He mixes all kinds of music into a fresh blend of unique beats, rhythms and melodies, creating a tapestry of music that is captivating, alluring, original and vibrant. Traveling through various musical landscapes to guide and surprise the audience, Iradi knows how to engage the crowd while remaining in service to the dancer. When playing for a crowd, Iradi intuitively senses the audience and is alert and connected to the emotions that are brought in by the dancers. Like a therapist, he tunes in, connects, follows and leads. He takes the dancers on a journey to places where they’ve never been before, seducing the audience to go further. Always further into the mystery of the dance. Iradi is a resident dj at the Dutch Nataraj parties and he was the featured dj at his own club nights in Amsterdam, Iradium and Techno Op Blote Voeten. He has been involved with Ecstatic Dance Amsterdam since its inception in February 2012. He is now in demand within the Ecstatic Dance Community in different countries around Europe. https://soundcloud.com/iradi Padma Gordon is a Spiritual Guide, Embodied Mindfulness Counselor, movement educator, mother, writer and lover of life who skillfully invites people to deepen their connection to body, heart, and soul.
