Raindance - 04/12/08

The tribal dance... we dissociate ourselves from our physical boundaries and become everything outside of us, including all thats around us. We have stomped the ground in our own chaotic way within these physical bodies at the same time though, connecting the internal with the external. This creates mass chaos within unity as a whole. With these groundshaking movements we create a universal message, which then forms into a sphere of energy, which we then direct straight into the sky, reaching the clouds above. This message transforms itself to be heard by the sky, which then sends its message back, in the form of life. This is the rain, which falls to greet those that beckon it, those that crave its creation, which is us, which is everything, which is life.

Prepare for an all night, all out psy trance party that is sure to please any goahead. There are many surprises including alot more sound, alot more blacklight, a massive venue in the Athletic Hall of Fame building, and an unbelievable lineup. For first timers and veterans alike, this is one to not be missed! The trance scene grows more and more every time, lets make this one have the most Earth-pounding dancefloor yet!

Konflux is a solo project of the California based DJ and producer Vasily M., a producer with over 10 years of experience in various genres of electronic dance music.

In addition to signing tracks with the following record labels: Pixan (Italy), Doof (Israel), Looney Moon (Italy), Bomshanka (UK) and Namaha (India/USA), Konflux has performed his original material at multiple dance floors across the states, from Burning Man to Gaian Mind, and of course in magical California nature parties.

FACEHEAD *LIVE/DJ* //Portland, OR :-: Anomalistic Records//
Facehead Chuk has been to Psyowa once before, and wow did he impress!!!! For his day job Chuk masters children's songs, and at night he turns into a creature from beyond as he creates his experimental take on psy trance. In addition to this blend of intelligent, powerful, at times dark, always involving spin on his trance music, he has also been busy with running his own record label Anomalistic Records that started in Philadelphia and moved along with him to Portland, and is about to have two releases this year. Be prepared for this mad shaman as his sound and energy will warp you to into a new phase of thought!

PRIMORDIAL OOZE *LIVE/DJ* //Chicawaukee, WI/IL Divine Balance Records//
The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ's Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. Flowing sounds that seem to bubble and evolve like primitive life forms. These bundles of frequencies collaborate in a swarm like manner, creating intelligent patterns and movement. The Ooze sound creates a unique twist on the ever changing sound of psychedelic music. The regulars know them and love them as their favorite regional live pa for psy trance to date, and their sound keeps evolving itself for every performance. Psyowa, watch out!
