Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples joins the festival podcast to shed light on the true essence of music festivals while assessing how to bridge the gap amongst the EDM and Hip Hop community. Rakaa also speaks upon the new era of hip hop, and shares his perspective of the most memorable festival moments in Dilated Peoples' history!

As the music festival culture continues to creatively find solutions to keep the festival spirit upbeat during this moment in time, we believe this is also the time to self-reflect on how we can improve the overall festival experience for this generation and the next. There has been a large debate between the Hip Hop and the EDM community surrounding unique cultural differences-- however we should remember that whether you are a raver, a burner, or a hip hop head, we can each learn from one another. You would be surprised on how intertwined every genre of music is--each genre inspires another and there will be new genres will continue to emerge in the future! Whether you listen to house music, dubstep, trap, hip hop, or any genre, we each play an integral role in representing the festival scene. Let's learn from each other and embrace all aspects of the festival community.

Rakaa Iriscience is a member of DIlated Peoples, a legendary "underground" hip hop group from the west coast. With Iconic tracks such as "Worst Comes to Worst" and "This Way (feat. Kanye West and John Legend) ", Dilated Peoples have performed at numerous festivals worldwide and have made a direct impact on hip hop and festival culture over the last two decades plus!

Imagine getting the word that you are playing Electric Daisy Carnival literally 5 minutes before your set. After a slight technical difficulty with reading corrupt files during this past EDC virtual rave-a-thon, a replacement performer was needed!

 Call it fate or destiny, but DJ DEMIGOD had his usb in his pocket, and unexpectedly got to throw down in front of millions of viewers! AND YES HE THREW DOWN!! The emotionally charged "OG of techno" was brought to tears as he played an integral role in an extremely magical and inspiring moment in Insomniac history. 

#Festiie Fam immediately reached out as we were moved by what had transpired, the beauty of having a team and the essence of being ready for your moment. Fresh off the EDC high--Dimitry Granovsky aka DJ DEMIGOD joined the festival podcast to re-count the epic weekend, share his story as someone who experienced the Insomniac journey first-hand over the last twenty plus years, and announce the upcoming launch of Insomniac Classic Records!
