Rizan Said is a one-man lightning bolt. A master of Kurdish and Syrian electronic folk, he turns traditional Dabke melodies into unstoppable, high-velocity dancefloor eruptions. His keys dart, twist and spiral with a kind of joyful precision, layering centuries of musical heritage over beats that feel engineered to lift an entire field two feet off the ground.

There’s nothing polite or restrained about what he does — it’s sweaty, ecstatic, communal music, built for dancing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers you’ll instantly feel like you’ve known for years. Every track seems to accelerate just a little more than you expect, until suddenly the whole crowd is moving as one.

A Rizan Said set at Deer Shed is going to be pure energy: dazzling, breathless, and absolutely irresistible. If you hear those synth lines start up from across the site, follow them. Something unforgettable will be happening at the other end.
