Kudos LoKey - SF Ecstatic Dance - Sunday Morning

Ecstatic Dance San Francisco Sunday May 4th - DJ: Kudos LoKey Partner Yoga meets Contact Improv : Tyler Blank Opening Circle & Meditation: Tyler Blank ----- DJ: Kudos LoKey Kudos LoKey is a cosmological being who channels the pulse, colours and movement of the Earth through musical poetry. With an unabating passion for pushing musical boundaries, Kudos LoKey blends genres through sonic alchemy; creating intoxicating dance-floor elixirs. Musically influenced by the multicultural city of Toronto and extensive global travels, Kudos weaves a celebration of music born of diverse Peoples and Lands into a vibrant tapestry to create his signature sound, something he's calling "50 Shades of Bass." The "50 Shades of Bass" umbrella offers audiences a sensual and stimulating kaleidoscope of Bass Music, Global Rhythms, and Psychedelic Textures intertwined through Kudos LoKey's unique and innovative production. As a sound sorcerer, Kudos crafts music to remind us of its primordial medicine, to awaken our cosmic hearts, and to inspire spaces for us to pray together with the entirety of our physical being. As a respected veteran sound engineer and record producer, Snappy Homefry is the wizard behind the curtain, releasing original music and remixes as Kudos LoKey since 2019. Now a vetted leader in his local music communities, Snappy has been mixing and mastering dynamic styles like latin, folk, and techno from a diverse selection of artists in his Toronto-based Playhouse Studio for more than 25 years. ----- Arrive when you wish: 9:45am - Doors Open 10:00am - Contact Improv Class 10:50am - Opening Circle 11:00am - Ecstatic Dance 1:00pm - Sound Bath / Closing Meditation 1:11pm - Good Day Everyone!
