Gravity Lift Podcast

Our guests for this episode are Loch and Filip, AKA Dimibo. I've known Loch for around 7 years now, and I have an insane amount of respect for the dude. Filip on the other hand....haha just kidding, Fil is an absolute WIZARD on the production end of things, and it was so great to pick the brains of these two up and coming artists. I really believe these two are the next big thing, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them.

Upcoming Show with Seven Lions, AKA SVEN (his psytrance alias)

Bio:

Filip and Loch first met online in 2013 through a shared passion for producing electronic music. Both hailing from the Pacific Northwest, it wasn’t long before they sat down in the studio and started making music together. Their first song, ‘Shangri La,’ won them a trip to Las Vegas to perform at Electric Daisy Carnival as winners of Insomniac’s Discovery Project. However, this early success had to be put on hold. Not completely satisfied with their final product, they spent the next two years honing their production capabilities as well as their overall sound, and it is during this period that they discovered their mutual passion for psytrance.

Their performance at a few select festivals followed by a release on the respected Brazilian psy label Alien Records caught the attention of a fellow producer who calls the Northwest home. Sharing a love of psytrance with Seven Lions, they collaborated on a massive remix of Excision’s 2016 dubstep monster ‘The Paradox.’ Deftly blending two seemingly incompatible genres, their Paradox remix immediately grabbed the attention of a wide range of listeners.

With multiple tracks slated for upcoming release on Armada Music as well as Iono Music, it's safe to say that Dimibo is just getting started.

Savitri, founder of Heartfull™ Meditation & Lifestyle, and co-founder of Alive & Shine Center, began as a 25 year old praying for truth and understanding for the incomprehensible events of her life. When she was 11 she had a serious head injury, as a teenager she was orphaned with the sudden death of both her parents in a plane crash and a few years later she experienced the murder of her sister. This led to life-threatening illnesses and many near-death experiences. Her sincere desire for truth inspired her to create Heartfull Meditation with heart-focused active techniques. Since 1995, it has become her life’s work to share Heartfull Meditation and the Align & Shine Snack Techniques.

The techniques helped her to come alive and shine, blessing her with her beautiful daughter, Zenia. Savitri is the founder and creator of Heartfull™ Meditation & Lifestyle, the co-owner of Alive & Shine Center, and the co-founder of Purna Yoga College.

In Episode 10, I (Jordan) sat down with Connor Drazil, AKA Faraday. He had just released a new track, and I'm a big fan of his work, so I had him swing by and chat with me for a bit. The convo got a little whacky, but that's pretty much exactly how I want this podcast to be - free form & fun/random. Enjoy

BIO:

"Faraday (real name Connor Drazil) has always considered himself a dreamer and a musician. Coining himself as a 'digital composer', Faraday has been performing and writing music for as long as he can remember but it wasn't until his years in college as an engineering student that he fell in love with electronic music. It was only natural that he picked up producing shortly after in order to fulfill his wildest dreams and dedicate himself to his only true passion in life: music. In the short amount of time since dropping out of college to pursue his music career at the beginning of 2015, Faraday has garnered the support of USC Events and a residency at Foundation Nightclub in Seattle along with crossing a quarter of a million total plays on his productions by getting support from major labels such as AiA, EDM.com, Adrenalin Room, and Seattle based Anomaly Music Collective. Faraday has consistently pushed the envelope with his productions and his unique sound and style has landed him shows, support, and respect from the entire West Coast and beyond"

Our guests for this episode of the Gravity Lift Podcast are Kate Swarm & Gordon Ogden. We met these two essentially via social media, but right away we knew there was something special about them...something that transcended far beyond the often-fake world of Instagram. After a couple memorable face-to-face interactions, they invited us to teach an all-immersive experience with Walter Yoga down in Arizona, and it was absolutely AMAZING. We're so excited to have connected with these two stellar individuals and their respective beautiful families. Keep an eye out for more Walter Yoga x Gravity Lift collaborations ;)

Below are both Kate & Gordon's bio's:

Kate Swarm is an international yoga teacher based out of Oregon, with a passion for creating unique and fully immersive experiences. She has a gift for holding a sacred space of transcendence, while guiding her students to a place of union between mind, body and soul. Over the last 5 years her devotion and excitement to exploring how environment, sensory input, and intention effects a shift in consciousness, has lead her to work beside some of the most gifted artists, musicians and creatives in the wellness movement; including Walter Yoga, for whom she is both a resident yoga instructor and event producer. Kate has taught at numerous yoga and music festivals throughout the Nation, blurring the lines between yoga, movement, meditation, visual engineering, and sound immersion.

Although she spends a significant amount of time curating external environmental elements, Kate is even more detail oriented when it comes to exploring her students internal environment of the “self”. She has a warm, peaceful, and grounding presence that gently guides her students to a peak state of integrated body awareness, intelligent and thoughtful movement, and self realization. Besides holding a sacred space of mind-blowing-multidimensional-blissed-out-radical-transformation Kate is a mom and a wife, who loves to dance, laugh, and never takes life too seriously. She started on her yoga journey after suffering through an extremely difficult loss. Yoga was what helped Kate find love, peace, contentment and purpose for her life, it is her greatest joy to give that gift back to the world.

Gordon was first introduced to yoga nearly 20 years ago, he immediately recognized the gifts of yoga and has never looked back. In 2014, wanting to deepen his practice, he completed his 200-hour teacher certification with John Salisbury. He has seen the amazing growth,undeniable joy, and freedom that yoga cultivates in one’s life and wants to share that with every student.

In addition to being a certified yoga teacher, Gordon teams up with Kate to co-produce extraordinary yoga events with Walter Yoga. He’s been a marketing professional since the mid 1990’s, an avid rock climber, and lives in Phoenix with his wife Holly, and their daughter Willow.

Today's guest is Christian Jackson, a Seattle based lighting designer, programmer, and operator specializing in the world of electronic dance music. His resume includes Lighting Director for Zomboy, Lighting Programmer for Anjunabeats, Technical Director at Q Nightclub, and various roles with USC Events festivals. His Youtube channel has almost 40k subscribers with nearly 5,000,000 views, and has come in clutch for me several times with various CDJ/mixing issues. I had a blast talking with him, so check it out.

Episode 4 is brought to you by the letter H, for Holidaze. We invited Bailey and Jackson (our kiddo's) to join us on this special Holiday themed podcast, where we discuss our top 10 favorite things about the holidays, plus various other random, side-note tangents. And as always, keep an ear out for some Blue cameos (like the yawn at the very beginning to start us off). We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
