the dreaded "extended dance party"

charles — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:18:49 GMT

So, when is the next party coming? We were at Ecliptic, and now we're really needing some more...

We are looking for non-bar, non-alcohol, and energy filled. Ecliptic was awesome, the best party since sham for me, so we know you guys can do it =)

Tech/Prog/Psy Motion Notion 2007 mix by Sons of Aurora

Nokturnal — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 16:25:28 GMT

Norris and I had a blast at Motion Notion (Alberta, Canada) this year, the promoter James really out did himself and the weather was INTENSE but made for big adventures for sure.

We are now excited for our dub/glitch set at Shambhala (British Columbia, Canada) on the Beach stage on Saturday, and of course taking part in the Green Moon (Green Sector & Moon Tribe, hello turbo sound rig!!) camp at Burning Man (Nevada, USA) this August... now that's going to be one hot (+50 Celsius, zero humidity is the forecast) and dusty week in the desert. We will be wrapping up our summer festival season this year by playing at the Symbiosis gathering (California, USA) at the end of September so we are feeling very lucky for having so many incredible opportunities to play some tunes for folks.

I have a bunch of great photos from gatherings and festivals in my photo gallery, and I have just added a bunch from Motion Notion, you can find them here:

Description:

We are VERY happy with how our set came together for this years Motion Notion festival, so we decided to record it afterwards here at home and post it up for others to enjoy. This year we were wedged between two full-on psy performers, with Wizzy Noise being the act to follow us, so our set was meant to be a roller coaster through driving minimal tech, progressive and full-on psy. Add to that the fact that our set started out with hot dry sky's filled with stars and ended during a MASSIVE rain/thunder storm with tornado warnings for the area in effect... talk about INTENSE!!!! In the end our laptop finally stopped working and our fear was that it had actually shorted out due to the rain but the next day it started up without a hitch which was a HUGE relief. Our goal was to keep everyone engaged, twist a few noodles and not burn people out on the full-on. From all the super-positive feedback I think we managed to kick some ass!! Many of the tracks are killer classics, with a few shinny new ones thrown in, and the overall flow is a bit of a journey so sit back and imagine the thunder clouds closing in from behind, and as the mix ends the rain is coming down with a vengeance and the clouds are swirling with the threat of tornadoes. They don't call us Sons of Aurora for nothing....

Enjoy!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

Nokturnal — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 22:20:44 GMT

Hi!

=)

I have realised that I have not really put any effort into guiding this tribe along, and have decided to help it find a little direction.

I would like to keep any posts on this tribe focused on Area709 issues, comments, questions or concerns. There are many many tribes and websites for others to promote their events/mixes/etc, so I would ask that anyone posting here please refrain from deviating from the purpose of this tribe.

Thank you!!

Thank you for supporting Ecotopia!!

Nokturnal — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 22:47:49 GMT

What a great gatherning of fantastic people (as always) at Ecotopia on Saturday, June 2nd. I have already photos of the daytime fun in the sun up in my gallery on www.area709.com and soon will be adding some of the nighttime grooves. The turn-out for the daytime beats in the park was good for the soul, lots of little ones, good healthy food, yoga, hoola-hoops... such a great way to reaffirm and strengthen community. We need to do that again!!!! And the evening was again another opportunity to meet and visit with so many crazy cool folks. A very special thank-you to: Bruce & Leona, Callie & Jasmyn, Joey, Tracey, Jerri-Lee & Jodie, Mike, Darren and Tessa Bird for all your hard work, we could not possibly have done it without you all.

Thank you to Nicholas, Ian, Wes, Cory, and Conrad for your awesome tunes, so much good music yesterday!!

A very big thank-you to our visuals crew: Shaun, Jayson and Kevin, next time we will have even more projectors... oh yeah!! Shaun, I must say that your images were stunning, simply beautiful and the warmth and vibrancy they instilled were powerful indeed.... simply incredible.

Mr. Norris, it's a pleasure having you to partner up with, how lucky am I to be able to have these adventures with you by my side. Although next time you can take over my take-down shift... hahaha!!

And finally thank you to my girl Irena, it's always a long haul when doing these events and you are a trooper and wow me constantly. I love you babe.

Alright, onwards into summer festival madness!!!!

It turned out to be one heck of a gathering last Sat night, and the energy felt intense to say the least. I for one am honored to be able to add the energies of Area709 to the momentum of 3Ohm, and look forward to our two groups working together in the future.

June 2nd is the next installment..... time to get cracking. =)

Very deep, dark and diiirty....

Nokturnal — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 21:09:33 GMT

Exactly as my girl Irena ordered, each track and transition approved by her, this mix is deep, dark, dirty and very progressive. This mix was also VERY hard to compile, taking over 80 hours and four months. Compiling a cd with another person did make the process a long one, but it was also something we both really enjoyed. As well, this version is an edited master, my mixer is on the fritz and once I get it repaired a new unedited final mix will be posted.

community dance july 7, 2006

Nori — Sat, 01 Jul 2006 22:24:10 GMT

hello everyone,

so the gig is on! i have booked the scarboro community hall for july 7, 2006 from 7pm-12am for the community dance.

the address is 1727 - 14 Avenue SW. it is about 3 blocks west of the A&W on 14street SW. its right next to a tennis court and across the street from the scarboro church.

i am hoping that this will be the start of monthly or biweekly gatherings geared towards building a all ages, drug and alcohol free space to explore movement and creativity through music, dance and yoga.

this event will run from 7pm-12am and start off with a yoga warmup.

there will be a rotation of djs that will span the entire gambit of electronic music. everything from ambient, idm, dub, breaks, and progressive psy to allow everyone to dance to various beat and structures and chord progressions.

the cost of this event will be 6$/person and it will be paid at the door. this includes the workshop.

i ask everyone to bring their own water bottles, yoga mats and food for the evening as there will not be any available. there wil be a tap to fill water bottles and that is it.

i will post the dj line up and schedule very soon.

please everyone pass this onto anyone you think will benefit from this event.

and if you have any questions please send me an email or tribe me.

more free psydub

Nori — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 07:46:27 GMT

hello everyone,

i have finally finished and uploaded my new mix called "Sat Nam" on www.area709.com , so i invite everyone to check it out and leave me feedback. this one is a mash up of psydub/idm/ethno breaks and has a lovely track by mr andrew fry aka the kaida kid.

"Sat Nam means 'truth is my identity' and, as a chant, is used to stop mind chatter by creating a rhythm that produces higher consciousness." -www.experiencefestival.com-

My winter in Nelson has been one of finding personal truths. Shedding layers and looking at myself. This is not always easy, but it is always necessary.

While on this path, I have discovered Kundalini Yoga and a most wonderful teacher. Many of my lessons and much of my giggle-fest bonding have been shared with her. My soul thanks you JamieLeigh.

So for this mix, I am giving to all those who are searching for truth as their identity.

Sat Nam.

etc..

We want to hear from YOU because it's for all of you that we do this!

Oct 15th KULTURA : Full Details!!!

Nokturnal — Thu, 29 Sep 2005 16:20:36 GMT

On the evening of Saturday, October 15th 2005 at the Art Gallery of Calgary, three art installations and seven musical artists will be spread throughout it's five incredible rooms.

Kultura is meant to engage those in attendance with an elevated, multi-sensory artistic social experience. The fusion of contemporary adult electronic sounds capes with other mediums such as video, canvas, print and installation art will allow for a culturally creative and engaging evening.

The entire notion of art rests on the idea of being able to convey ones self in new ways and new formats, endlessly exploring the inner psyche for new forms of expression. Society evolves with the changing ideas of the people within it, and we at Area709 are very excited to create this unique opportunity for those present to connect with contemporary culture.

VISUAL

Texture City

Investigate the contemporary city and how its public spaces, roads, architecture and urban infrastructure become part of the social fabric of our daily lives. Explore three interactive installations created by renowned Calgary architect Marc Boutin, his architectural firm Marc Boutin Architect, and nine architecture students from the University of Calgary. This timely exhibition incorporates photography, models, drawings and video.

Remnants

Alberta photographer Ray Van Nes is fascinated by the forms and textures he finds in abandoned industrial sites from the early 20th century. Seeking beauty in places that others overlook, Van Nes has photographed the Turner Valley Gas Plant and other sites across Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Thirteen of his evocative photographs are showcased in Remnants.

The Order of Things

Ontario artist Danny Hussey's mixed media paintings are influenced by science texts, illustrations and theories. In this intriguing exhibition, Hussey visually interprets a complex scientific theory using images of household objects and a non-traditional painting process as his tools

VISUAL/AURAL

Byron Pope

Expressing creative energies through just one medium is simply not enough for Byron. By sharing his passion for ambient and down tempo music, as well as for intelligent and purposeful visuals he is able to create a truly inspiring experience.

AURAL

Mike Zajko

Left-field broken beats and experimental idm are his specialty, Mike will surely get you hooked with his strangely eclectic and yet very danceable tracks by blending jazz, glitch, and assorted nightly delights.

Rusty Ezard

Shifting away from his trademark mind bending peak time tracks and moving into the realm of ambient and down tempo, Rusty will of course be adding his own unique and sometimes quirky twists.

Sons of Aurora

Two individuals who are always eager to share their love of music, Norris Lam and Darvin Knorr will be exploring the deeper and more hauntingly beautiful side of down tempo, psy-dm and progressive break beats.

Wes Straub

Intent on engaging the mind AND the body, Wes will be serving up his own brand of very 'un-straight up' progressive house and breaks that is ripe with artistic originality and sprinkled with a touch of warmth reminiscent of a poolside afternoon.

Nori — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 01:27:08 GMT

this mix is a myriad of downtempo flavours, from tribal to dub to breaks to psy-DM.

so here it is, please enjoy and let me know what you think of the west coast sound!

Upplyssa - May 27th - Questions for all of YOU!

Nokturnal — Mon, 02 May 2005 21:54:00 GMT

Arr Billy!

I am posting this in a few different spots to try and catch everyone here online. So I was wondering what people's thoughts are about this event.

Are we presenting something you are interested in?

From what you know about it, is there anything you would like to see us doing differently?

Who plans on attending? Are you bringing along a friend?

Of course we want the support of the communty for such an event, with all the effort going into this one we would really be heart broken if we did not get to share it with all of you.

So yeah, any thoughts whatsoever, let her rip please.

Peace and light,

Darvin.

PS just to be clear, there will only be smoking outside on the patio until 1 am and then downstairs, so ther will be no smoking at any time upstairs in the main room.

Nokturnal — Mon, 04 Apr 2005 05:43:21 GMT

That's right everyone, in order for this event to be a success, we will need it to be promoted by the communtiy, not just by area709 members. We only want to put on these events for eveyone to enjy, but in order for that to happen we will need help spreading the word!!

I know most people's energy will be going into Bloom (which is important!), but does anyone have any ideas on how we can get the word out there about Upplysa?

Welcome!!!

Nokturnal — Fri, 11 Mar 2005 20:11:56 GMT

Alright, I did not mean to pester anyone with this new forum, it's just a chance for anyone who wants to give us at area709 some feedback, or suggestions.

We are moving into a new phase of increased activity with throwing events. Currently we are bringing together a show for May 27th, and already have a few more after that in the works.

As well the area709.com website itself will be undergoing a facelift pretty soon, so we will be wanting some input on that too.

So yeah, I guess I just wanted to create a pubic forum where anyone and everyone could feel free to let us know what is on your mind.

Namaste!!
