DJ Ilo
# FI
Ilo on blendannut idän ja lännen äänimaisemia vuodesta 2005. Hänen DJ-uransa sai alkunsa underground-trancekulttuurissa ja löysi uuden suunnan päihteettömän tanssikulttuurin ja Ecstatic Dance -yhteisöjen kautta. Musiikkisetit ammentavat vaikutteita joogasta, viisausperinteistä ja rituaalisesta äänityöskentelystä.
Ilo on luonut transformoivia tanssimatkoja festivaaleilla, burner-tapahtumissa, retriiteillä ja joogakouluissa Suomessa, Virossa, Tanskassa, Hollannissa ja Intiassa. Hän ohjaa myös holotrooppista hengistystä, joogaa ja kylmäaltistusta sekä tuottaa seremonioita ja tapahtumia – kuten ensimmäinen healing-alue Suomen festariskenessä (Existence ’11).

Ilo, a sonic alchemist weaving Eastern and Western soundscapes since 2005, channels decades of trance, yoga, and breathwork into heart&body awakening dance journeys. His sets are more than music — they are a prayer in motion, infused with wisdom traditions that invite deep embodiment, inner expansion, and ecstatic release. Sound becomes intention, the body remembers, and movement becomes pure medicine.
Ilo crafts transformative dance journeys at festivals, Burning Man events, retreats, and yoga schools in Finland, Estonia, Denmark, the Netherlands, and India. He also guides holotropic breathwork, yoga, and cold exposure practices, and produces ceremonies and healing spaces – including Finland’s first festival healing area at Existence ’11.
ECSTATIC DANCE
“Ecstatic Dance is a health protocol that invites you to surrender to the music, moving authentically in tune with your body's needs. As dancers let their bodies communicate instead of words, a revelation unfolds — they aren't merely moving, but rather, they are being moved. The dance takes over and encourages you to break free from stagnant patterns and transcend limitations in your life. Come and witness the healing power of dance!” - DJ ILO
