All Ages

The Beat Council is at it again! Welcome to a new type of event, where performing musicians mingle with DJs in an intimate and comfortable environment. Come fuel up on the tasty teas and splendid beats!

Special guest performance by:

EQlateral
When bass, cello, violin and vocals meet loopers, effects and electronic beats, you get an explosive musical concoction, or as they call it, "The Psycheclassical String Ensemble." It's unlike (and quite possibly better than) anything you've ever heard. This is not a set to be missed!

With DJs:

Muad'Deep (Middle East Electronica/Asian Underground)
Muad'Deep is a specialist in mixing the sounds of India, Pakistan and the Middle East into funky beats.

Crispy (Downtempo/Progressive/Breaks/Psytrance)
Crispy covers the gamut from completely chilled out downtempo to rolling Progressive and kinetic Psytrance. Whatever he plays, you can be sure that it will be groovy and smoooooove.

Baba James (Bhangra/Afrobeat)
Baba James does crazy things like remixing Bob Dylan into Arabic beats, and funkifying Fugazi, while never neglecting hard-hitting bhangra beats, and west african polyrhythms.

I'm not even sure how to answer this. What exactly is "burning man music"? EQlateral are frequent participants in Burning Man festivities.... if that qualifies them as burning man music, then so be it.

It ain't super fast, but it'll get us back in time for the thing Saturday... that's my plan, at least. You should make it your plan, too! Then we can get drunk on the train and argue semantics on animal classifications. ;-)
