On February 18th, 2006 Infinite Connections, IOSIS Art Party and Uniting Souls move you into Kinetic. Adding Decibel Festival, you're in for three rooms of bliss with headliners:


ATMOS (Spiral Trax - Sweden) started in the early seventies when a young boy saw television for the first time. Instantaneously fascinated by different soundtracks and jingles, the interest for music was born. After a short bedroom DJ career, Tomasz Balicki decided to produce his own music under the name Atmos. Thanks to his natural talent for music, Tomasz released his first 12" in 1996 on the British label, EVE records. His influences from electronic and ambient-rock music like JM Jarre and Pink Floyd quickly made him become one of the most successful producers in the hypnotic and atmospheric trance scene. Tomasz has produced an experimental compilation with Flying Rhino, a mix CD with Phonokol and 2 albums with Spiral Trax. His album "Headcleaner" was a smashing hit and sold over than 16,000 copies. His track, "Klein Aber Doctor", can be found on a Ministry of Sound compilation mixed by Jimmy Van M. He has also released numerous 12"s as well as remixes for Kox Box, The Delta and Cass N Slide. Tomasz has a side-project together with his friend Henrik Jonsson (aka Stressassassin) called Echolab, which features more club oriented music allowing him to experiment with this field. He has already released some tracks with the Swiss house label, Sog. He is a sought after remixer and his remix of Saiko-pod's "Phutures" on ACDC has been licensed to John 00 Flemming's "White Label Euphoria 2", Sandra Collin's "Perfecto Presents" and was shortlisted on Paul Oakenfold's "Great Wall" mix CD on Perfecto. As well as gaining the support from DJs such as Paul van Dyk, Hernan Cattaneo, Armin van Buuren, Danny Howells and Chris Fortier to mention a few.


DJ HEATHER (Blackcherry Recordings - Chicago) interest in music was sparked early on by her parents' eclectic music collection. She started out in the early nineties at the Artful Dodger, a neighborhood pub with a cramped moist dance area situated in the rear. During her fourth year at the Dodger, she began what would become a three-year residency at Red Dog. At that same time she landed her first residency at Smart Bar. The second would follow five years later and remains till this day. Around that same time she recorded her first vocal project; Joining Derrick Carter's Sound Patrol Orchestra, along with house luminary Chez Damier for "Tripping Among The Stars" on the Organico label. She also began a short but invaluable stint at world famous Gramaphone Records. In 1998 she was asked by San Francisco transplant and fellow Chicagoan Mark Farina to support his Mushroom Jazz 2 cd tour. She would later join him on the road in support of the third and fourth installments of the Mushroom Jazz series. As well as the house release San Francisco Sessions for Om Records in 1999. A year later Heather released her own officially licensed mix "Tangerine" for the Chicago based Afterhours label. The UK's Jockey Slut magazine touted her, as a star on the rise in their Feburary 2002 issue. The next month she won the first ever Dancestar award for Breakthrough DJ. That year Heather also began her relationship with the London club Fabric. "In 2003 Vancouver's Nordic Trax asked her to take on mixing duties "Dancefloor Principles. 2005 also marked Heather's installment to the much heralded Fabric CD series, for the club of the same name. With 15 years of experienced behind her Dj Heather has grown to become one of the Windy City's main Dj exports. She is an artist who defies conformity, defines quality and continues to nurture her solid skills for soul music of the technological generation. http://www.ilovedjheather.com

We've assembled a supporting crew of the best west coast DJs:


Wendy J (Goddess Collective - LA) has been DJing around western US & Canada since 2001. Starting out playing progressive house, trance and breakbeats, she found her soul in psy trance. Wendy is the only female full-on psy trance DJ in the Los Angeles area. She keeps her musical tastes very danceable, funky, dark-but-happy. Her talents for programming a journey into a fun, exciting, danceable set, combined with her lively stage presence, showmanship and personality are steadily building a following everywhere she performs. Wendy J loves to entertain and take her audience on a journey, not just make them dance. "It's about elevating one's party experience. I try to make it that much more special when I perform." She has begun to dabble with music production this year. Wendy J has played at such events as Shambhala, (Salmo, BC), Phoenix Festival (Klickitat Co, WA), L.A. Burning Man DECOM (Los Angeles, CA), Burning Man - Psytribe Camp (Nevada), Outpsyed (Calgary), Sweet Relief (Calgary), Winter Solstice, (Calgary), Masquerave (Pittsburgh), Psy Fix Weekly (Los Angeles), Reflections (Ventura County CA), Xara Dulzura (San Diego, CA), Solstinox (San Jose, CA), I Am Medeival (Hollywood, CA), and Wokini (Sequoia Nat'l Forest, CA) - to name a few. http://www.wendyj.net



Erth (Psybooty Records/team:abunai - PDX) creates music conceived to be a soundtrack for those of us invested in the emerging culture shift. it ranges from glitch complexes to melodic simplicities and attempts to merge nascent styles of dub and trance. erth happily released an album in this vein, emergent, through the team:abunai media collective this autumn.

Ramiro & Jeromy Nail
Ramiro (Uniting Souls - SEA) A native of Bluefields, Nicaragua, Ramiro was exposed to multi-cultural music from an early age, from Caribbean soca, reggae, and dance hall to Latin music such as salsa and merengue. By age 12, his family had moved to the U.S., settling in New Orleans, where jazz, blues, and funk permeated the region's rich music culture. During his early college years in San Francisco, Ramiro converged upon the electronic music scene that exploded in the Bay Area in the early 90s. From the Wicked Full Moons to Come-Unity, Stompy Stomp, and the legendary Sunset outdoor parties, Ramiro drew inspiration from being a part of the West Coast underground movement that has now earned its place in the history of American electronic music culture. With the support of friends, Ramiro began producing his own events to showcase the talents of many local artists and musicians, and thus, Uniting Souls was born. Now a resident of Seattle, Ramiro continues to work towards fostering a creative, nurturing environment ripe for artistic expression, spearheading the newly-launched record label Uniting Souls Music. http://www.unitingsouls.com
&
Jeromy Nail (Uniting Souls - Seattle) Jeromy Nail has built a reputation as one of Seattle's hardest working DJ's, respected for consistently delivering a unique, if not eclectic, vibe. Dancers have recognized his passion and energy describing his sets as "deep and powerful" and coming "from the heart." He has had the honor of sharing the stage with notables such as Miguel Migs & Lisa Shaw, Kaskade, DJ Heather, Sombionx & Lindsay, Alexander East, Mazi, Marques Wyatt, Johnny Fiasco, Joshua aka DJ Iz, Lego, Rick Preston, Jay-J, Andy Caldwell, King Britt, Taj, Jacob London, Raoul Belmans, and Derrick Carter just to name a few... http://www.unitingsouls.com


Night Owls (Gaia Tribe - Eugene, OR) Andrew Mataus & Dave Dluxx

and the only Iboga Records DJ in the US

Osiris Indriya (Iboga Records, Oracle Gatherings, IOSIS Art Party - SEA) is a legend of the West Coast Underground Dance scene. He has been featured with underground artists such as Brian, Brad, and Trevor of L.A. Moontribe, Manoj of Uplift in Portland, OR, trance goddess Phoenix Olivia in Vancouver B.C., and Lorin (bassnectar) from Santa Cruz/SF, CA.

Driven to take Seattle to the next level, Osiris has been deep into creating several projects. He has teamed up with Infinite Connections to bring the best of Europe's tribal progressive trance music and world class art to the Pacific Northwest in a series of events called IOSIS Art Parties. As co-founder of the Oracle Gatherings, he is bringing a new paradigm in a growing dance community by integrating with the Northwest's mythical undercurrent.

When you need to take a break, head into the Decibel Dinosaur room with the ambient and experimental sounds.

PLUS MORE COMING SOON!

Then head into the Bug room to see the amazing art by


Jerod Knapp (Visionary Painter - SEA) feels truly blessed to have discovered a solid form of sacred expressionism, throughout many mediums. His primary choice is oil on canvas. As a dedicated, self-taught artist, Jerod strives to visually capture inner visions, experiences and the u.n.i-versal force. In his natural, meditative method of panting it is very common for me to slip into a trance/channeled state of consciousness. At a very yound age, he discovered that he had the ability to "tap in" - not really realizing exactly what it was he was subjecting himself to. He simply decided to go with the flow. A journey upon a path beyond the comprehension and constraints of this reality. Jerod had many memorable lessons, realizing many forces within the grand unified spectrum, both light and dark. The lesson to be learned was... Acceptance. Acceptance of everything. http://www.jerodknapp.com/


Angel Ceballos (Photographer - SEA) was born in Eastern, WA but has spent most of her life in Seattle. Her passion for photography has lead to world travels and she lives each adventure through her many antique or specialized cameras. Her photography has been featured in international and American celluloid and magazines. She enjoys setting up whimsical and bizarre scenario shoots as well as just photographing the natural stunning simplicity that life has to offer. She is currently shooting for her book that will present the myriad beautiful people of Seattle. Angel is also availabe for private shooting. http://www.robotangel.com


Jenna Colby (Paintings - SEA) is a self taught artist who has always been creative through different mediums, but decided to focus on painting three years ago. Originally from Ohio, Jenna has traveled and lived in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, but has called Seattle home since 1999. Growing up in a small town Colby was always fascinated with cities and has been influenced by her travels and the people she has met and observed. "I make it a point to take note and assign a story to the passer by, giving each moment in time purpose and creating color." After developing and beginning to show her work, Jenna came into contact with the work of artists like Mark Ryden and Yoshimoto Nara. Thinking back, she says, "Their work really moved me. It made me nervous, giddy . . . I'm not sure if there is a word for it. But after experiencing that feeling, I decided that is what I want to do to others. I want to make other people feel that way." http://www.soopajdelux.com/

Originals and prints from each artist will be on sale.

I'm thinking about going. Atmos, as a producer, has always interested me, and I want to see how the Science Center holds-up as a venue. The rest of the line-up isn't too interesting, but I dunno. It's also the only event, so far, in the next three months that looks interesting, and I really want to go out to a party.
