Laying down some formidable seismic trills of bass rolls will be the Wobble Factory sound system backed by a front line of subwoofers delivering a salvo of sound unleashed by the creative forces of four up-and-coming producers whose muse is rewiring and redefining the underground: Ana Sia; uniting the best elements of dirty dubstep, grimy glitch, and her personalized blend of "global slut psy-hop," Mimosa; who takes the listener on a space age psychedelic journey of bittersweet ecstasy , Ill Gates; an emerging moniker, and Marty Party; whose live performance is an intense journey and true “crunky” and "hyphy" experience like no other. Opening support comes from two of Sonoma counties hardest working local beatsmiths Dr. Dylan and iNi, with production support by Double D and Groove Garden forces.Zack Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13598373081370664655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577307941378116226.post-37607817363595193732010-05-30T19:19:00.000-07:002010-05-30T19:27:19.790-07:00Liquid Fire Mantra Ritual Theater<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwiO3YMSwaq0lVX1m0GuQKFQtSRvnIojTFMcWa4eiOSDJwX2zBCnBV6TAdpgKz2jwIQ-UO3pbo0PkHzV-gYGqm1f8yjYfPGGnrYXwMkZauOROZsIytLGXNMfZ8wyTKQN4P1peJFfuXdhjp/s1600/LFM.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwiO3YMSwaq0lVX1m0GuQKFQtSRvnIojTFMcWa4eiOSDJwX2zBCnBV6TAdpgKz2jwIQ-UO3pbo0PkHzV-gYGqm1f8yjYfPGGnrYXwMkZauOROZsIytLGXNMfZ8wyTKQN4P1peJFfuXdhjp/s200/LFM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477253667210844322" border="0" /></a>"<span style="font-style: italic;">Believe in the power of art to inspire and create a harmonic frequency in the world.</span>" No other fire dance troupe is as multi-dimensional as Liquid Fire Mantra. Every performance features mesmerizing fire arts, dramatic video projection, and innovative theatrical dance combined with live poetry story telling that engages the heart, mind and soul. Their all new show is entitled, "Dreams – a living canvas to manifest our imagination in to reality." In it LFM brilliantly fuses fire, dance, theatre, masks, and circus into a passionate and memorable performance. Founded in Ashland, Oregon in 1997 by Forest Schrodt, this amazing dance troupe has performed world wide at most all of the major festivals and music events as well as some of the hottest private parties, gaining them a reputation that is unsurpassed. Their commitment to their community sets them apart; "Ashland Oregon is our home and beloved community. We are deeply connected to the artists, healers, visionaries and everyone who leads a revolution of change. We have been serving this community as a satellite, traveling all over the world weaving the threads of our art. Linking people with inspiration from city to city, representing Ashland... We want to share with them this incredible place on the planet, Ashland and in exchange present their special gifts to create a stronger and deeper tribe."

This year is no exception as we welcome to the stage the debut appearance of Phoenix Rising. Since 1999 they have been setting the bar for cutting edge Sacred Theater, combined with a unique blend of traditional dance and spontaneous movement that tells stories of passion, creation, love, and mischief. For Techno-Tribal Dance they have taken it to the next level by adding a horn section, violins, mandolins, and gypsy dance in addition to their signature choreographed partner fire dancing. Techno-Tribal Dance is a state of mind, a full-body experience, on-the-edge-of your-seat visual feast and a show not to be missed! Be there Saturday June 12th as Harmony After Dark shakes up the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.<br /><a href="http://www.phoenixrisingartists.com/"><br />http://www.phoenixrisingartists.com</a>Zack Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13598373081370664655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577307941378116226.post-5334095203461297342010-05-24T21:59:00.000-07:002010-06-07T13:31:33.935-07:00The Mutaytor Aerialist with SuzE Q and Roo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUJSXwQL7NXAdJV-JC9G_rM3_ULB8QYlR0xUE-dI8OitLWl5SIKhXi0KU0YrZqWp9gzeh-mrF5JI7t6KgjVhC1BvfveQzHhy-QOB-ihS-1oZelDtwjgWRAKPO8RclH61xnw08MQ8heR62/s1600/harmony_m185_small.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 165px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUJSXwQL7NXAdJV-JC9G_rM3_ULB8QYlR0xUE-dI8OitLWl5SIKhXi0KU0YrZqWp9gzeh-mrF5JI7t6KgjVhC1BvfveQzHhy-QOB-ihS-1oZelDtwjgWRAKPO8RclH61xnw08MQ8heR62/s200/harmony_m185_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480132081636556546" border="0" /></a><br />Techno-Tribal Dance welcomes back Mutaytor Aerialist SuzE Q and Roo, for one of the most bombastic and unusual visceral experiences in modern entertainment.

He has performed alongside some of the biggest names in music including STS9, Michael Franti, Bobby McFerrin, as well as Deepak Chora reading Rumi while renowned Tibetan flutist Nawang Khechong did his magic. Jane Fonda referred to his flower creations as "a Monet Masterpiece." People are drawn to his bouquets, which some have described as "orgasms in vases." This will be Anthony Ward's debut appearance at Techno-Tribal and it's sure to amaze, excite, and mesmerize. He will be breaking ground with one of the most in demand DJ's, Tipper, who creates music for the finest sound systems; bass-fueled glitch that demands to be played at high volumes to unleash its lethal potential. With influences ranging from drum and bass, to trip- hop through downtempo electronica, Tipper has created his own eclectic brand of devastating dance-floor tracks that have been admired for being “streaks ahead” and “expertly crafted” productions, while being “frightening yet refreshing...if it doesn’t move you check for a pulse..” It doesn't get any better than this: flowers, lasers, lights and big bass. Check this out, Saturday June 12th, as it's sure to be history in the making.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.beingwithflowers.com/">www.beingwithflowers.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.tippermusic.net/">www.tippermusic.net</a>Zack Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13598373081370664655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577307941378116226.post-13353737510577067012010-05-21T16:18:00.000-07:002010-05-21T21:51:33.531-07:00Troupe Luminesque - Stunning New Choreography<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyxda6Y-6Kn8ABpU1FgRDaAiDH-deTDKu4AX10TvlwXdR9fj9f63xG2OXc4QmJROgxytxYSMXq8qAL6MnjFm2n2N6SSUodmSOjJNl4kBZPSeVCcAFda98id6OqZ1jOzwrQz5GcKVtVSQ-1/s1600/Troupe-Luminesque.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyxda6Y-6Kn8ABpU1FgRDaAiDH-deTDKu4AX10TvlwXdR9fj9f63xG2OXc4QmJROgxytxYSMXq8qAL6MnjFm2n2N6SSUodmSOjJNl4kBZPSeVCcAFda98id6OqZ1jOzwrQz5GcKVtVSQ-1/s200/Troupe-Luminesque.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473918362220287362" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Techno-Tribal Dance</span> welcomes back <span style="font-weight: bold;">Troupe Luminesque</span> who made their debut appearance as a professional dance troupe at TTD in 2007 and have since caught the attention of tens of thousands including being pursued earlier this year by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Americas Got Talent</span>.
