NAIAD DAIAD is upon us!

2008-05-25T18:26:42Z

That's right, kiddies! The wait is over, the gloves are off, and it's time for you to meet NAIAD DAIAD!

NAIAD DAIAD are North America's newest and greatest psychedelic electronic supergroup. Consisting of Brandon Maynard (Aquarium/The Malah, Greenville SC) and Cooper Howland (OpenSourceCode, NYC) NAIAD DAIAD adamantly refuse to recognise genre restrictions, rules, or recommendations about what music is supposed to sound like. Instead, we produce eclectic, freewheeling, effortlessly funky, outrageously danceable music. Equally suited to the chillout or the main stage, morning, noon or night, NAIAD DAIAD has been under construction for over a year, and is finally ready for your consumption! We truly hope that you are as hungry for some brand-new, all-orignal, wildly inventive music as we are to give it to you! The live show consists of two laptops, a guitar with MIDI pickups, microphones, electronic and organic percussion, hardware synthesizers and whatever else we can manage to drag out to the venue! We re-dub, re-mix, and improvise in real-time to create an immersive and involving live experience that's impossible to ignore and damn hard not to dance to.

Check us out at www.myspace.com/naiaddaiad, and if you like what you hear, PM us for a link to a FREE 45-minute live promo set!

We are now accepting gigs in New York City, the Southeastern US and festivals worldwide. Contact us at naiaddaiad@gmail.com.

See you on the dancefloor!

Join Documentary Filmmaker Andrea Sadler and Mohawk Elder Rainbow Weaver with Native Elders from Ottawa Canada for a special film screening, storytelling and ceremonial healing circle!

First Nation people from North America and Japan , joined by volunteers from 13 countries traveled 4,000 km along the Sea of Japan on a ceremonial run finishing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima . The filmmaker Andrea Sadler, joined this run, with camera in hand, to present a remarkable physical and spiritual journey of a diverse group of all ages who carried the simple message, that All Life is Sacred. A stunning visual portrait of individuals committed to promoting peace, encouraging respect for the earth and all life, and to sharing the rich cultural diversity of the human race.

“With this film my intention is to inspire people to believe in their higher visions and to take positive action to create a better world” - Andrea Sadler.

“I hear everywhere, sure, I want peace, but how? The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather, provides a map, a marvelous map indeed! Take your passion for peace, sprinkle it with your interests and culture in a way that seduces others around the world to join in and embrace the love of all people, everywhere. Spread the word!” Patch Adams , MD , Founder of The Gesundheit Institute, Arlington , VA

“The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather” is one of the most inspiring, powerful awesome depictions of a sacred journey of hope, love and beauty. It reminded me of the hope and beauty and gift that it is to be alive at such a time as this.” Pamela Rickenbach, www.dreamkeepers.net

Proceeds of this event go to Dragonfly Films, Planet Heart and
We, The World. Dragonfly Films is still recovering from the costs to make the film and this benefit will help them!

Have you fallen in love online? - Documentary seeking interviewees

2008-01-13T05:41:35Z

Have you met someone online with whom you fell in love or began to fall in love before you ever met in person?

I’m producing a half-hour radio documentary that in part seeks to explore how the Internet is changing the ways we fall in love. I’m searching for individuals who met online—whether through a dating site or through Tribe, MySpace, Facebook, etc.—and fell or began to fall in love through online correspondence and/or chatting before meeting in person. I’m interested in interviewing individuals and couples from both current and past relationships that started online. Burners are so active online, seemed a good place to look.

I will need to record the conversation, as the project is for radio. My intention is to pitch the documentary in whole or in part to national and local NPR programs, and I have received initial interest from several venues.

Talk to me.

Best regards,
Aaron Scott

"Net of Being"
New works by Alex Grey
November 10 – December 31
Opening - November 10, 2007 6 - 9pm

On exhibit at MicroCoSM Gallery are Grey's major new paintings including “Holy Family,” and "Net of Being," a fifteen-foot long oil painting introduced to millions by the rock band TOOL. After years of labor, this epic work is on view along with drawings that led to its creation. Related to Grey's series of painted and sculpted "universal beings," begun in 1999, the "Net of Being" portrays an endless perspective of column-like four-faced Godheads. Each head is composed of a fiery grid of eyes and galaxies linked with similar heads in an endless mesh, implying a realm of boundless interconnectedness. A new topology of Being and infinite awareness is mapped by this omni-directional web. Grey states that this visionary realm was visited during an entheogenic (psychedelic) ayahuasca journey he ex-
perienced in 2002. Small sculptural details of the Net of Being are also on view. “Net of Being” was featured on the cover of TOOL’s recent “10,000 Days” album, and the CD package won a 2007 Grammy Award.

Also on exhibit are models of the future Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, architecture designed by Alex Grey. The
entryway pavilion on the ground level is a wheel of 12 Godhead columns similar to those portrayed in the
painting "Net of Being." In the space between the heads nestle smaller replicas of the large domed Chapel.
Smaller Godheads and Chapel shapes repeat fractally, reaching tiny proportions that harmonically relate
to the overall pattern of the building. From every point of view on the grounds of this domed circular struc-
ture, observers witness two profiles mirroring each other, created by the outline of the building and implying
two giant celestial faces. The message encoded in the building is, “When beings come together in Oneness,
they create sacred space.”

The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, being designed to house a permanent collection of
Grey's paintings and sculpture, is itself a profoundly inspiring sculpture for a timeless body of artwork.
Best known for his paintings which “X-ray” multiple dimensions of reality, Alex Grey's visual meditations
on the nature of life and consciousness, have led to a world renowned career of exhibitions from the New Mu-
seum in NYC, to Tokyo, to Sao Paulo, a retrospective at Museum of Contemporary Arts San Diego, features
on Discovery Channel, Newsweek, Time, and album art for multi-platinum and Grammy award winning rock
bands such as Tool, Beastie Boys, and Nirvana. Because of his underground cult status in the psychedelic
world, his artwork is some of the most reproduced on sheets of blotter acid.

Alex Grey's art illuminates worlds of subtle energy and proposes new icons of trans-denominational spirituality. Along with his wife,
artist Allyson Grey, Alex co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, CoSM, located in Chelsea, open for three
years, as a testing ground for the alliance of divinity, creativity, and community.

Sub Swara 024::12.1-Year End Mashout w/Stereotyp, Maryanne Hobbs, Dhruva vs. Sharmaji

2007-11-14T23:15:14Z

We're closing the year out LARGE with SS 024! 2 of our favorite artists and ambassadors of bass weight are crossing the Atlantic and touching down at LOVE on a special SATURDAY EDITION to celebrate an amazing year of sound and community.

Behind Door #1…STEREOTYP!!!! We rinse his tracks all the time and it's about time that we get the bredren behind the decks. One of the tru pioneers of digi dancehall and next level dread bass is comin' thru and his track record is too epic to fit on this page…needless to say, his work on Kruder & Dorfmeister's G-Stone records, Klein Records, collabs with Al-Haca, Warrior Queen, Dub Club have been groundbreaking straight up and down. Get Ready…(www.myspace.com/stefanmoerth )

Behind Door #2…MARYANNE HOBBS!!! – The Radio 1 firebrand at the helm of the pioneering experimental electronic show (Tuesday nite >> Wednesday morning 2.00-4.00am) reppin' next generation dubstep, grime, drum&bass, hip-hop, techno, and radical electronic flavaz in every form (formerly known as the Breezeblock) is making her way from London to get up in the Dance. A luminary pushing the freshest underground sounds to the forefront, Mary Anne released a definitive underground compilation album in October 2006. 'Mary Anne Hobbs. Warrior Dubz features exclusive dubs from some of the most cutting edge artists operating on the UK underground scenes (Benga, DMZ, Burial, Loefah, The Bug, Amit, Kode 9 and more). She also featured Sub Swara's own Dhruva and Sharmaji in an epic soundclash vs. Skull Disco (Shackleton and Appleblim) on her show in 07. (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/maryannehobbs/)

Speaking of which, Sharmaji (now an official Sub Swara resident -- much respect to Badman DS!) and Dhruva will be teaming up again for a tag team dub session in honor of MaryAnne's presence. A heap of original dubs ready to drop...

Plus, the Sub Swara live set will be in full force, comin' correct with a preview of the Sub Swara album (droppin' early 2008) and the sonics that span the spectrum of bass bin culture.

Like we said, LARGE!! See you up in the dance.

"Batucada L'Atelier"

2007-05-03T17:17:05Z

"Batucada L’Atelier”
“Drumming Workshop”

At

ReBooT
37 Ave. A (2nd & 3rd St.)

Thursdays at 9 PM

Calling all drummers…. come and join us on Thursdays and be in the
Dance Parade on May 19th

This is a Brazilian Style drumming group that has played together for more than 5 years and has decided to take the magic that happens every week and introduce it to the general public. Batucada is a verb meaning drumming and is a Brazilian term for drum circle which is usually "Samba or Samba Reggae". We however do some other rhythms like Condombe' which is Uruguayan and Guaguanco which is Cuban, but it all comes back to Africa when you talk about drumming. We do also blend these rhythms with other instruments like electric guitar which gives the drumming a more song like structure and becomes what I can only describe as a "Funky Santana" Feel. We are also participating in the Dance Parade (We'll be providing the beat to move your feet) and will hopefully attract some more drummers to join us when we hit the streets. ReBoot is a newish Vegetarian restaurant which is related to Two Boots and has great vibe. They have lots of vegan and live things on the menu as well as offering the amazing pizza which does have some meat.

My First PDF!

2007-04-25T02:32:11Z

Hello all you beautiful, dancing, hugging, loving, giving, happy people! I'm going to my first PDF (Playa Del Fuego) which will also be my first real burn. I have a bunch of friends going, but I had this idea that I might want to camp with a bunch of (or a few) total strangers! (Or even folks I only kinda know from around the scene but dont really "know") It would be a great way to immediately make new connections and spread the love. I could also camp alone to me more autonomous, but as a first-timer I thought it wise to be with a few folks with some experience.

Even if I do end up camping alone, I'm also looking for a ride there (and back) from NYC (or Brooklyn). What better way to turn Burner strangers into new Burner friends than a road trip!

Here's my Tribe.net page to find out a tiny bit more about me:

http://people.tribe.net/Schmactor

or reply here and ask me whatever to get to know me. I can tell you I am an extremely fun, no-hassle, chill, and creative person to be with and also quite handy in many many ways.

So if you have some room and an adventurous spirit, give me a shout as soon as possible.

Much Love and Joy,

-matthew

soulfire greetings

2007-03-26T17:42:18Z

hey there...
just wanna introduce myself to you.
my name is imani and i have been involved with drumming for a long time. Olatunji is the guy that opened the door to the drum for me and Mark and i go way back to World Magics (with Jeff McBride). we have danced in and out of each others circles for a long time/

when body temple was begining, mark asked me if i would be willing to come to nyc to rehearse and prep for BT. while i could not make it weekly, he did inspire me to come up monthly (Full Moons @ CoSM). so in many ways, i have mark to thank for getting me to think outside of the box.

while i post announcements to the events page, i wanted to reach out a bit more to you all, as friend.... co-creating circles where we share in the collaborative artistc process is what i am all about, and i am guessing there are many kindred sisters and brothers in this tribbe. i currently live outside of DC and contribute to the acoustic drum and dance scene here. as far as NY i have been instigating the Full Moon D&D for nearly 3 years, and now a second drum and dance event at CoSM called SoulFire.

i do hope we get to connect...
peace matters,
imani

Sub Swara back in NY 2.2.2007 - State of Bengal album release

2007-01-25T00:15:27Z

Happy New Year to the whole Sub Swara community!

We are well pleased to be back home in NYC after a highly auspicious sonic incursion into LA over NYE. Big Ups to The Space Island Crew and to Shamal and family for being such hospitable hosts to us. (Dhruva apologizes for setting that sub-woofer on fire at SI. it's a problem he has. we are working onnit....) For all you west coasters: Look for Sub Swara to be back out west this spring and summer shredding up a camp-out near you. LA knows what's up.

Sub Swara 015:

Back at home we are kicking off 2007 with a storm as comrade and musical legend, State of Bengal, returns to New York and the Sub Swara stage with a blazing live set at Element on Fri. Feb 2nd.. This will be the global CD release party for Skip-ij, the highly anticipated new album from SOB. Available everywhere Feb 7th.

SOB has been has been a mentor to us and has shown consistent support for Sub Swara since our inception; performing at our very first event at Capitale in 2005, and joining us for a flurry of shows last summer through the pacific northwest.

Sam first burst onto the global scene as a key DJ and genre-defining producer, instrumental to the success of London's infamous club night ‘Anokha’. He went from there to record several seminal forward-looking LP's, and to record and tour alongside fellow musical titans Bjork, Massive Attack, and the late classical fusion sitarist Ananda Shankar, amongst many others. His eruptive tracks ‘Flight IC408’ and ‘Chittagong Chill’, featured on Talvin Singh's Anokha compilation have taken their place in history and remain anthems.

Sub Swara is very proud to host the official global release party for State Of Bengal's new album SKIP-IJ. The SKIP-IJ sound is built around thunderous rhythms, wide organic bass lines, and premier vocalists from around the globe. The album's official release is on February 7 but come hear it in full effect with us on Feb.2! SOB will joined by very special guests, vocalist Rosina Kazi and MC, Nexmanz . Exclusive advance copies of SKIP-IJ will be available. With the release of SKIP-IJ SOB has once again suceded in redefining the sonic landscape.

Check out a sneak peak audio sampler of the album here: www.dhamaalsf.com/dhruvanyc/SKIP-IJ.mp3

The Sub Swara crew will of course be reppin' proper with Dhruva, Sunder, Haj, MC Juakali, and Visualists Pictureman and Skip Intro bringing the DJ-tabla-ragga vocal-visual mixology to the forefront. We return to Element, NY's premiere venue for cutting edge music, featuring one of the most bumpin' soundsystems in North America.

Half price $10 tickets are now on sale at Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com/event/9740) and will be available at that price until noon mid-day on Feb. 2nd.

Happy New Year!

2006-12-31T21:04:45Z

What a Magickal Year...
Thank you for the magick and the memories you created with us at Body Temple. We wanted to thank you all for the support and the Love we have felt from you in 2006. This year we have had spectacular celebrations that wouldn't have been possible without you. Who could forget June's black-light Maypole experience featuring the Body Temple Orchestra and Ivy Angelina and Mark Sklawer as the ecstatic instigators? The spectacular DJ set by Karsh Kale? The mesmerizing and transformative TranceDances led by Parashakti and the Shakti Spirits? Those magnificent summer nights, under the stars, when the Body Temple Drummers joined the Globesonic Sound System for the celebration over the at the Pier? The powerful Earthdance theatrical-ritual led by Body Temple's Afro-Mystic, Rene Collins? Let's not forget last years epic New Year's celebration with the midnight human ball by FireFly Aerial Acrobatics.
This has been a great year... because of you.

We have been putting on legendary events for New Years since we started back in 2002. This year we've decided to enjoy New Years as civilians as we prepare for an exciting and creative 2007.

Wishing you all a Glorious New Year.

Mark Sklawer and The Body Temple

Tha Glitch Mob's Comin' to NYC!

2006-11-17T01:24:24Z

Yeeyah. Glitch Mob's bringin' it to Sub swara NYC! If you were at Burning Man this year, you know how they roll with the thunder...

El cheapo half price tix available till this coming MONDAY NOV. 20 so grab while you can. THen they're still discounted $5 till teh day of the show.

Join us on Friday, December 1st for Sub Swara014, as we round out an astounding year with an east-west sound clash of epic proportions:

SUB SWARA vs. GLITCH MOB

In the home corner -- The Sub Swara posse weighs in with the hard-hitting trio of Dhruva, Sunder, and Haj, heavy-weight MC Juakali and Pictureman/Skip Intro on visual attack. 'International Bass Fueled Beats and Breaks', with live tablas, turntablism, Ragga vocals, and deep visual mixology. A barrage of genre defying sonics spanning crushing breaks, chubby dubstep, nasty grime, mid-tempo glitch, digi-dancehall, and much more big speaker biz.

In the visitor’s corner – The Glitch Mob comes out swinging, as individual superstars edIT, Kraddy, and Boretta join forces, and freestyle maestro Souleye enters the fracas with his lyrical jujitsu. These boys have been straight tearing up the west coast underground circuit with their crunked-out glitch-injected hip-hop, massiv dancehall riddims, & lush IDM. After running things at Burning Man this summer the Glitch Mob is poised and primed to make their very live and highly anticipated NYC debut.

We aint’ playin’ around. Not a bit...

Pre-sale tickets are up NOW ( www.BrownPaperTickets.com/event/8616 )– super advance $10 cheapies are available till Friday, November 17. After that, pre-sales are at $15 through mid day Dec. 1.

There won’t be a Sub Swara event in NYC in January, so be sure to come out and get your fix. Look out for us in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve throwing down with the Space Island crew. Keep it locked. We will be back in NYC with thunder in '07 as we resume First Fridays at Element with another massive line-up on Feb. 2nd.

Freek Factory 11/17 NYC: OPEN SEDITION

2006-11-03T16:54:18Z

Freek Factory presents:

OPEN SEDITION:
A night of exquisite tumult and digital insurrection.

http://www.freekfactory.com

Friday, Nov. 17th
@ Element (http://www.elementny.com)
225 E. Houston St. at Essex St./Ave. A
10pm-4am

Freek Factory is once again proud to bring you the very best in digital culture. On this night we rattle speakers and shake the earth in defiant celebration. Raise your fist as a full scale freek riot is properly unleashed.

DJ C vs. Zulu
(mashit) (zulumusic)
Lion-S (the pride)

Founder of Mashit Records and ragga maniac DJ C links up with Dancehall's whitelabel menace, Zulu, to spread their fiercely
eclectic gospel of crunkment, mashstep, regga-bounce, and grime-hall. Revolutionary ass-shaking bizzness.

http://www.myspace.com/zulumusic
http://www.myspace.com/djc

Lion-S, Queen of the Pride, makes her low-frequency NYC debut. Bringing the tribes together from coast to coast.

http://www.shambhalamusicfestival.com

The Freek Crew:

Haj, Blacklight
JPoo1, Dhruva
Spiro, Sunder
Mikio

Coming correct with a plethora of new tracks off the forthcoming album "Freek Factory v.1: The Balance", due out in Feb. '07, the crew mixes it up with a combination of live instrumentation and DJ'ed sets. The Factory like you have never heard it before. Don't sleep.

http://www.myspace.com/freekusmaximus
http://www.myspace.com/spirosounds
http://www.myspace.com/dhruvamusic

We are so well pleased to be welcoming back to New York the first ladies of freekdom, fresh back from their immersion in the vortex of the West Coast underground circuit, and very ready to cause a ruckus. Mi-friggn-aou.

All this through a sound system recently rated as one of the best in North America, with extra bassbins added for sub-sonic transfusion of intent.

discounted pre-sale tix available now at:

Freek Factory at NY Harvest Festival Oct 6-9 w Particle, Murphy's Law, Dub Is A Weapon, Jen Durkin, etc

2006-09-29T03:43:52Z

It's time for Harvest Fest again and we're back holding down the saturday late night main stage from midnight AM till dawn. We'll also have a beautiful full gallery/dance floor space displaying the work of Ken Kesey, Alex Grey, Mob House, the Blotterati, Sequoia Emanuelle and Mikio. Beats will be dropping all the time when we're not sleeping and we will have some special Freek Factory family guests rolling through to join us.

We're always proud to reprazent here because it's New York's best and longest running hemp & medical marijuana activist festival and political rally and not just a party (but it's one HELL of a party :-))

http://www.damnsam.com/

Our stages will be solar and wind-powered this year by Ecological Systems. In the spirit of hemp for energy, we're going directly to the source and supporting solar and other natural energy.

Three days of talent on the big stage are looking dynamic, diverse and dope:

Particle http://www.particlepeople.com/

Murphy's Law http://www.murphyslawnyc.com/

Dub Is A Weapon http://www.dubisaweapon.com

Jen Durkin, Mystic Bowie & the Funky Ska All Stars
http://www.lotussoundworks.com http://www.mysticbowie.com

Vince Herman (founder/front man for Leftover Salmon) http://vinceherman.com

Tony Vacca & World Rhythms http://www.tonyvacca.com/

The Ryan Montbleau Band http://www.ryanmontbleau.com/

Haj & Mikio http://www.freekfactory.com/

and MANY others: http://www.damnsam.com/entertainment.html

The venue is beyond amazing:

Camp Minglewood is located on a private lake in the
western Catskill mountains of New York State near the
Delaware river and the Pennsylvania Border. The camp
is just 120 miles from New York City, between
Monticello and Binghamton.

Complete with theaters, pavillions, dining hall, huge
lake, car camping, cabins and mini bunk house rentals,
RV parking, beautiful grounds, private and friendly,
this venue is very special!

The location of Harvest Fest could not be more ideal! The site is used in the summer as a performing arts camp. Camp Minglewood offers accomodations usually not offered at an outdoor music festival.

The main stages will be located in a large, open-sided circus arena.
Our late-night entertainment will consist of a late-night DJ/art gallery theater, as well as a late-night band theater. Vernville and the Yelo Sub will host the Earth Stage Saturday and Sunday, and show movies both evenings in the campground. All stages are in covered structures with tiered seating and PLENTY of room to dance, so all music will take place rain or shine.

Leaf peaking season and freek peaking season coincide in the beautiful Catskills this year. :-)

Please bring canned and non-perishable food to our food drive! Everything collected will be donated to a local food pantry. Other good items to donate are diapers, baby formula, bottles etc. Together we can show the local community that we care. Strangers Helping Strangers is a repeat offender at Harvest Fest now!

Big love to activist promoters Rob Robinson & Jen Rog of Damn Sam for allowing us to be part of this amazing hempcentric throw-down once again.

Rob was a major force in helping Shady and the Pranksters put on the 40th anniversary "AT40" in Vegas last Halloween and one of our strongest partners in connecting the burner, activist and live music worlds.

FREEKS IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!! yeeeeeeeeeeee-Hahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Anyone need Amazing Costume or Prop Elements? Burning Man Last Minute?

2006-08-21T18:20:57Z

I am not going to Burning Man this year, instead I am packing up all my stuff to move to Hawaii. I am an artist with an MFA in Costume Design from NYU and I am getting rid of a lot of my stuff! I know it is last minute..but if you are in need of some really amazing costume and prop items you should come take a look. I can also help custom build a few different costumes for you or just offer you the elements and let you put it together yourself. Having been to the playa in '99, I understand what kinds of things are fun and easy to wear there and I have lots of great stuff in a range of prices.
Take a look at my website www.tangledesign.com
