Perception and W2 present...

The first of a series of fundraiser events for a Burning Man camp.
After attending last years burn, it became evident that there is a large community of B.C. burners that make the trip down south, but that we are all scattered about the playa. This year the B.C. crews are working together to create one large camp that we can call home.

So far the following crews are involved and helping out with the camp!

Perception Events
Submerged Studios
Entheos Gathering
Tribal Harmonix
Evolver
among many other individuals with big ideas and the ability to execute them.

ELECTRONIC AWAKENING

To open the evening there will be a special screening of Electronic Awakening upstairs in the Media Cafe from 9pm-10:30pm followed by a 30 minute discussion and activity facilitated by Evolver Vancouver Sporeganizer and Tribal Harmonix/Earthdance Vancouver organizer Sobey Wing.

Electronic Awakening is an ethnographic documentary film that investigates the spirituality of Electronic Music dance culture and its ties to ancient shamanic rituals.

The film features dozens of experts, visionaries, and published authors who explore the premise that "Electronic Music is spiritual technology that allows access to higher states of consciousness". Filmed over a period of 5 years at events such as Burning Man, Earthdance, LoveFest, Moontribe, Wicked, Tribal Harmonix, Shambhala and the Boom Festival in Portugal.

Electronic Awakening reviews rave's evolution from large-scale commercial events to smaller gatherings in remote locations. The film offers insight into the inner workings of the brain and its metaphysical connection to the repetitive beats that allow for that sense of unity and freedom that millions feel on the dance floor. It also investigates this culture’s significance to the prophecies of 2012, how this bizarre and sacral relationship to electronic music has evolved the group over time, and where it all seems to be leading them.

With world-renowned artists such as Shpongle, The Crystal Method, Random Rab, Phuture Primitive, Govinda, Cosmosis, Vibrasphere, Bird of Prey and many more... Electronic Awakening is not to be missed!

Now on to the entertainment for the night.....

Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove heavy beats and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, his music also manages to convey a sense of tranquility and beauty, engaging the listener into hypnotic movement and often escalating toward a full kinetic experience. Conceived and produced in a digital environment, his music manages to convey more humanity and organic warmth then typically found in an often cold and sterile genre.
