presented by: Earthdance Vancouver
Perception Inc, Tribal Harmonix and Stereoshift Combine forces to bring you Earthdance!
THIS IS A TWO PART EVENT, DAYTIME DANCE @ PROSPECT POINT AND NIGHT TIME DANCE @ W2 STORYEUM.
The Earthdance is a Global Dance Festival for Peace, which has grown to become the world's largest simultaneous music and dance event.
...
Earthdance events have occurred since 1996 in over 360 cities in over 60 countries, with locations ranging from the club-lands of New York to the rainforests of Brazil.
...
The aim of the event is to bring together global communities to create a synchronized global festival and a dance event to help fund humanitarian causes and develop an environment of peace and communion throughout the global aware communities.
The highlight of the Earthdance is a simultaneous link up, when every event across the world plays the 4 minute Prayer for Peace track. Synchronized at the same time, morning in the Australian rainforest, midnight in London and sunrise over the Himalayas, the Prayer for Peace is a profound and powerful moment that unifies our intentions for world peace and the healing of the our planet.
2010’s focus is Embracing All Traditions – recognizing and honoring the diversity of faiths and cultures that make up our human family.
This years chosen charities are Pivot Foundation and W2
Check these web-links for more info on these two great organizations both working to benefit marginalized people.

Featuring Sounds by
==========================================
VIBESQUAD - Denver, Colorado
**************************

http://www.myspace.com/vibesquad
VibeSquaD has the look and feel of a regular humanoid DJ / producer, but as the Crunkadelic Bass Traveler he tours the solar system bumpin’ his signature sound to all the deep space inhabitants. His spaceship leaks beats to the outer edges of the galaxy, leaving a blast of subterranean ill bass in his wake. Creatures are drawn to these sounds, regularly converging in large groups to observe and move to his music.
Taking cues from classic electronic acts like Kraftwerk, The Art of Noise, and Front 242, VibeSquaD incorporates the reliable sounds of Chicago, Detroit, Miami, and the UK, informs it with his background in classic rock, psychedelic jam, and diverse jazz roots, then zaps it all with neon lasers.
The sounds he produces transmit a positivity capable of inducing anything from temporary stress relief to outright elation. Tracks from his album Joyful Noise cause a type of heightened euphoria in fans, leading them to shake and bounce uncontrollably and convince their robot and alien friends to voyage thousands of light years just to witness his massive dance parties.
VibeSquaD’s launch pad is in Denver, Colorado (North America), but he travels all over the planet spreading bouncy beats, elastic synth lines, glitched-out samples and wobbly bass to gyrating, electrified masses.
FILASTINE W/ CELLIST AMELIE BOUARD - Barcelona, Spain
***********************************************

Grey Filastine is a producer/musician based in Barcelona, but more often found traveling with his nomadic studio: studying trance rhythms in Morocco, recording rappers in Indonesia, and gathering street noise from everywhere to compose a dense transnational bass music. It’s a sound that collides the deepest frequencies of dubstep with syncopated beat science, acoustic instruments and voices of many tongues.
Best known for his hectic live performances, Filastine triggers riddims and synchronized video from a heap of electronics and an amplified shopping cart, expertly fusing digital elements with live percussion. From a hip-hop concert in Borneo to a soccer stadium in Casablanca, from a car-mounted guerrilla soundsystem to a junk raft floating down the Mississippi, he has played in every type of venue imaginable,with prominent billing at festivals such as Sonar (ES), Transmediale (DE), Shambhala (CA) and Sydney Fest (AU). Performances often feature guest cellist Amélie Bouard or vocalist Nova Ruth Setyaningtyas.
Filastine recently dropped his second album Dirty Bomb (2009), a gritty soundclash recorded in 16 cities with 15 collaborators. “Awesome and delicate… hybrids so fluent they defy classification” -Pitchfork, “the prototype of globalized urban sound... It will devastate your subwoofer” -Prefix Mag. Like the music itself, its distribution is rhizomic and decentralized; the album was released simultaneously on four regional indie labels: Jarring Effects (France/EU), Romz (Japan), Soot (Americas/UK), Uber Lingua (Oceania). Dirty Bomb hit with a hundred-date tour, three music videos, and heavy radio play- charting at #4 on the French Feraliste, #7 on CMJ’s RPM in North America.
Filastine first went public in 2006 with the album Burn It on DJ Rupture’s boutique imprint Soot Records. “Filled with both jagged edges and moments of sad sweetness... Burn It is sure to win fans acrossmultiple scenes” -XLR8R. Next came a pair of dj mixes, The Mud, Blood, & the Beer: a Fistfight with the Near East (CD,Tigerbeat6), and the heavily downloaded free mix La Pistola Mas Rapida (Blentwell.com podcast #7 & CD).
Before going digital Filastine founded the Infernal Noise Brigade, a 20-piece marching band formed for the “battle of Seattle” that went on to become the soundtrack for a decade of globalization protests. The Infernal Noise Brigade was purpose-built to bring music to political movements in the street. Filastine now does the reverse, pumping the immediacy of the street through sound systems. 2010 began with a sonic intervention at the Copenhagen Climate Summit, a 12” of remixes Extra DirtyBomb, and the new dj mix We Are Experiencing Turbulence. Expect to find him anywhere, shredding the instruction manual of music, crashing borders, and transforming friction into beauty.
