OUR HOUSE Music Facilitators
Mentorship and Expertise
Rhythm Sanctuary Kohala has grown through the tireless dedication of our group of home grown music facilitators. This team has given hours of their time to the study of creating Ecstatic dance sets. We continue to seek a balance between our “do-it-yourself” team and bringing in outside music expertise from around the island. We are proud of this. Our upcoming calendar will always show both visiting DJ’s and our House DJ’s.
Interested in DJing for us?
Rhythm Sanctuary Kohala would not exist without the tireless dedication and creativity of our House Music Facilitators. We are deeply grateful for them! Remember them with the DJ tip jar!
Meet the Team
DJ STEREOGAB
DJ Stereogab was one of those kids who always had her headphones on and made mixtapes for friends. Her sets reflect her eclectic taste in psychedelic music and her coming of age as a raver in 1990s’ NYC. Tune into her “Switched on Stereogab” KNKR radio show every Wednesday from 4-6 PM at knkr.org/96.1 FM in Kohala. Meowmaste!
DJ BLYTHE
DJ Blythe started dancing in Berkeley, California in the 70s with the Hare Krishnas. When not basking in the raw elemental energies of north Kohala, Blythe's avatar has the day job of a meditation teacher and author. At sundown however, Blythe emerges as dance prana fanning a hot mix of world music, deep house and American soul. Blythe welcomes your offerings of inhibition, anxiety, shyness, stuckness and grief as fuel to feed the conflagration of unbridled joy we share in the temple of Kohala Rhythm Sanctuary.
DJ MAMA-Lele
Lori dances to live. From her love for dancing she began cultivating the desire to craft musical journeys that would create emotional releases. Mama-lele always manages to touch a tribal cord in her sets, including all genres, house, dance, electronic, worldwide, hip-hop, and always something to surprise.
DJ Brenna
Brenna is a musician, dancer, teacher, healer and facilitator. Her ecstatic dance facilitation began in North Kohala with the co-creation of Dance Medicine with her mama (Lori). With her ecstatic sets Brenna strives to invite emotional release, playfulness, and joy. As a DJ, Brenna blends ecstatic/tribal, bass, and funk, with some classic hits.
