Smiling Satyr July 22, 2014Jules 2 CommentsThe first time I saw Cualli at Envision in Costa Rica, I had no idea who he was. I was just at this stage at some point in the day, not really knowing where’d I’d been or where I was going (as most common with most festivals) and the most uplifting mystical music started soaring over the crowd. Aside from Buffalo Child, I hadn’t seen the crowd go this nuts before at this particular festival. Everywhere I looked I saw smiling faces and pure joy just crackling through the air. Even though I was severely exhausted and felt like I could barely keep my eyes open, I couldn’t stop dancing! His music just pours glowing energy into your veins. I love the flute in this one, makes me feel like we should be dancing barefoot by a fire under a full moon with a crazy satyr just rockin it! The positive vibes of this song are contagious and powerful that are well crafted to build and flourish til the very end. Give us a smile!

Moon and Starfire July 13, 2014Summer 2 CommentsAfter a beautiful night in the desert, getting my trance dance on and howling at the full moon, I’m spending a relaxing Sunday listening to David Starfire’s new album Awakening. It has all the sitar, funky world and hand drum beats that I was hoping for, like in his collaborations with Dub Kirtan Allstars, but this album is definitely a fresh start. Uplifting, intense and climatic with glitch hop and psydub influences, it’s perfect for the current Zeitgeist. I’m also excited to see his set at the next A~Bun~Dance in August.

Game Changer July 9, 2014Summer 3 CommentsI have heard people rave about Lucent Dossier for years and I finally got the chance to see them at Lightening in a bottle in May and let me tell you, I get it. I also get why they call it an experience, that really is the best way to describe it. It’s beyond a traditional circus performance, though the acrobatic, aerial and fire art skills rival that of Cirque De Solie, their powerful electronic music foundation puts them in a league of their own. Awakening would be my favorite if I had to choose, but it’s a total package and you must see the whole show to get the full effect in all it’s splendor. If you haven’t had a chance to catch them, take note of their newly added Summer tour dates; They will be performing in Las Vegas at the House of Blues on Friday July 25th and Saturday July 26th at Club Nokia. http://www.clubnokia.com/events/detail/250779 http://www.lucentdossier.com https://www.facebook.com/LuCentdoSsieR Electronic, Live Performance Art"Los Angeles", Awakening, Club Nokia, coachella, Electronic Rock Opera, Gateway, House of Blues, Las Vegas, lightening in a bottle, Lucent Dossier Experience, The Do LabShare : Tweet
