IMAN RIZKY EPK
BIOGRAPHY
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 16BL, Akiko Kiyama, Alexi Delano, Atish, Audiofly, Behrouz, Bill Patrick, Budakid, Butane, Camea, Charles FeelGood, Corey Baker, Clarian, Clint Stewart, Dave DK, Dave Seaman, Dance Spirit, DAVI, David Hohme, Deep Jesus, Derek Plaslaiko, Dimitri Nakov, DJ Three, Doc Martin, Echonomist, Einmusik, Elif, Elias Dore, Embrz, Francois K, Jim Rider, Jon Charnis, Joyce Munez, Gab Rhome, Hoj, Hernan Cataneo, Italoboyz, Jamie Jones, Jay Tripwire, Jozif, Justin Marchacos, Kate Simko, Lemurian, Luca Bachetti, Luis Diaz, Marques Wyatt, Matt Tolfrey, Mark Ashken, Mark Slee, Mightykat, Mike Khoury, Mikey Lion, Maxi Storrs, Miyagi, MyMy, Nico Stojan, Nikita, Ninetoes.
