A TASTE OF OUR MUSICAL LINE UP, MORE TO BE POSTED SOON…

LIVE ACTS:

“Seven Sacred Containers of Drum and Dance”

Lead by: ANDREW ECKER & Fused with Surprise Musical Guest

Join us for a very special New Year’s Eve celebration as we come together to participate and collectively create the “Seven Sacred Containers”. A crowd developed, ceremonial sacred-space, that fosters the development of the earthling experience and intentionally activates our inner spirit beings! Facilitated by Andrew Ecker and lead by spirit, over 200 musical instruments will be passed out to the crowd including Drums, Shakers, and Bells. As spirit leads to drumming, dancing, and chant – we will be elevated to a higher plane of human awareness, entrained to the rhythm of the planet through 7 sacred containers, each holding the metaphysical architecture of the ancient ones that gave us this global medicine of connection and healing… When we combine the beat of the drum, the energy of the Global heart, the Animal totems, the Elements, the Divine Feminine, the Divine Masculine, Storytelling, and the Universal prayerful communication – we will embark on a shamanic journey of ancient ritual.

* DESERT DWELLERS

(Treavor Moontrbe solo set) www.desertdwellers.org

Bringing the electronic bass music vibe to the yoga scene,and the sounds of yoga to the electronic dance scene, Desert Dwellers’ global sound is the bridge between worlds. Joiningsolid groove with sounds of serenity, their signature aesthetic feels as natural on the dance floor as it does after hours or on the mat. Due in no small part to DesertDwellers’ pioneering spirit, the very concept of chill-out and sacred bass music has expanded dramatically. Skillfully blending deep bass, earthy percussion, etheric voices and culture-crossing instrumentation into a sonic incense for mind and body, Desert Dwellers offers a spellbinding hybrid with echoes of our tribal past and future. These two sound alchemists offer cutting edge techniques that blend the modern edge of electronica with the ancient sounds of cultures past. The result has been the prolific production of genre blending dance tracks and downtempo grooves that make for a truly memorable listening experience.

Desert Dwellers consists of Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe; together they are one of the most pioneering and prolific downtempo artists hailing from the United States, having released over a dozen full length albums,several DD remixed albums,as well as countless singles, EPs and remixes for labels like BlackSwan, Twisted, SixDegrees, Iboga and their own label DesertTrax, to name a few. Desert Dwellers has performed at some of the most prominent international music festivals including: Lightning In A Bottle, Symbiosis, Wanderlust, Shambhala, Eclipse Festival Australia, Envision, Beloved, SonicBloom, and Earthdance.

DJs for this vortex include:

* TREAVOR MOONTRIBE

Treavor Moontribe is one of the co-founders of the Los Angeles based “Moontribe Collective” and its legendary full moon desert gatherings. Since 1993, these events have been at the core of Southern California’s underground electronic music scene. Treavor established himself as one of the top Djs in LA thru these events and has since traveled the world from Brazil to Japan to Morocco, Portugal, Germany and all over North America. As a Dj it’s always been his diversity that’s set him apart from his peers. As Treavor always says himself he refuses to be “Genre-Fied” or be a one dimensional DJ. His love for music spans multiple genres and his DJing reflects this. Although he is most well known for Psy Trance and Techno styles, Treavor prides himself on having the ability to fit in anywhere and anytime.

* ANTON TUMAS

After cutting his teeth at clubs like Vanguard and Avalon, as well as Burning Man and Moontribe’s desert settings, Anton Tumas developed a taste for the elegant, eclectic, and subtle melodies found in house and techno. Inspired by DJs like Lee Burridge, Dixon and Carl Craig, he learned how to throw a great party and build his reputation. His label Subtract Music has thrown parties with the likes of Henry Saiz, Marc Marzenit and Guy J, and even LA Burning Man Decompression, where in 2013 together with DISTRIKT it curated its own subDISTRIKT stage. The reason for this success is, simply, his music. Unlike many young DJs, Anton refuses to play ubiquitous “in your face” tracks, insisting instead on music that demands more careful listening, music whose truth is in the details. Words by Neil Feineman…

Bellhop is the solo project of Andrew Kroma, of Los Angeles based Terrakroma, known for their progressive psychedelic techno. Bellhop blends a progressive influenced writing style with the sounds of french jazz, retro vocals, music from the balkans, and circus-inspired melodies to the growing genre of electro-swing.

* MUSASHI

Musashi was born in the shadows of the underground parties of Rotunda Sound System. He was given this name by a random traveler (A Nazukeoya) who looked at him and told him his Japanese name was Musashi. As He did research on Musashi he discovered the book of the 5 rings. After reading the book he noticed the similarities of the art of strategy, with the art of music production. With that he accepted that name and made a vow to make the world dance to his rhythm. He is a dancer so he play for the dancers. If he like the drums, he buys the track, no matter what style it is. He loves House Music and has been in the scene for over 20 years but could never get into DJing. Then he met Toshi, Idai, Hiromat. They Changed his life forever. House music is even better outdoors and he will always be thankful to them for taking him out of the club environment and getting me back in-tune with nature.

PS…
Join us for the most eccentric, eclectic, electronic explosion we have ever produced thus far! & Check Out Our Indiegogogo!!!
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/electricocoon-5th-year-vortex-music-art-festival/x/9022039

ElectriCocoon is planning to become a multi-genre music festival, concert, and event production company, with a focus on interactive art and performance exposition. We will also offer equipment rental and setup services. Our mission is to provide an arena for our community members to earn a living doing exactly what they love, where and with whom they love to be, and we need everyone’s help to make our collective dream a reality.

We created the indieGoGo campaign to help us raise the funding needed to:

1. Establish ElectriCocoon as an LLC
(in order to organize and host festivals that have a deeper positive impact, and to secure incredible and beautiful venues, and engage the best talent possible, we need to create the solid framework for a registered company.)

2. Purchase a SaddleSpan s2000 portable structure
(the s2000 will provide us with the ability to host outdoor events during extreme weather and keep our Main Stage and everyone on the dancefloor warm and out of the wind and rain. It will also provide plenty of shade in the summer. We will also benefit from renting out our s2000 to other festivals and gatherings, along with developing our own stage designs, lighting setups, etc. – that can be integrated into other events, thus providing additional jobs and income for the electriCocoon team.)

3. Create and develop electricocoon.com website that will feature ALL who want to participate, create, and contribute their unique individuality and expression of art, music, and knowledge. Our website will feature musicians, bands, producers, dj’s, artists, and performers – complete with profile pages and event calendars. We will also create the framework for our own social community that will keep everyone up to date, and connected. We want to provide everyone who uses the site, a chance to explore the many myriad talents and services our community offers.

4. Fund the Yellow Vortex Festival, a 5 Year Anniversary celebration of ElectriCocoon.

You can help us achieve our indiegogo campaign funding goals by following the link and contributing whatever amount you wish to donate; sharing this post with your friends and family (sibs, parents, grandparents, etc.), encouraging others to help our startup by contributing donations, with or without adding a perk or festival ticket; and leaving comments on our indiegogo page so as to raise our visibility profile.
