SHPONGLE
With over 80 years experience collectively Simon Posford and Raja Ram are more than qualified for the exploration into the unclassifiable music frontiers they have ventured into; �SHPONGLE� is a new world of traditional sounds, acoustic guitars, Moroccan drums, Turkish operatic singing, cello, double bass, backing vocals and silver flute blended together with the computer wizardry of Simon Posford's studio production. Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) has long had a reputation as the, 'Hallucinogenius' a imitable pioneer in sound experimentation. Raja Ram, is the innovative sonic co-pilot producing alongside Simon and providing inspirational artwork for the album covers and the website as well as his unmistakable flute solo's in C Major. Shpongle has been a working project since the release of their 1998 album �are you shpongled?� filtered out into the underground. http://www.shpongle.com

HALLUCINOGEN
Hallucinogen (live) aka Simon Posford is a pioneer of electronic music and founder of the psychedelic trance scene. With the release of his first album, "Twisted", which reached Number 27 in the French album charts, a genre was born. There are many words to describe modern electronic music but none that come close to the wealth of emotion and experience that comes from listening to a Posford tune. These days he is just as likely to be entrancing crowds around the globe with a throbbingly epic live set as he is to be dribbling ambient delectations in the Hallucinogen Soundlabs in the West Country. He is co-director of Twisted Records with Simon Holton, ex-label manager of Dragonfly Records. Their label is one of the hottest underground gatherings of talent this side of Mars. Hallucinogen's second album "The Lone Deranger" blew the lid off the musical scene that had built up around his influence. Not only did it have more of the killer musical riffs but also was a feat of clean production and professionalism previously seen with the likes of The Floyd, one of Simon's major influences. Another tune that influenced Simon was "The Age of Love" by Jam & Spoon and this can be heard in some of his earlier releases. More recently he has produced tracks with Benji Vaughan as their band Younger Brother, Simon Posford has completed new sounds with Dub 'Ott' & Hallucinogen and is currently collaborating with the Twisted Allstars and touring the world spreading his music to all sorts.

Yeah I know. All the good psy parties are $$$. If you really dig the music then it is worth it. They have to cover all the costs of the party . Wizzy Noise was $40, Ticon was $40, Tegma was $40 etc. These events don't exactly bring people out by the thousands.

That's a good point. I'd definitely go if I didn't live in SB, but 80 bucks is a lot of money to spend (gas + tickets).

Everyone should go to this. Period.

hallucinogen and shpongle are gonna be in sf next friday too... cover is probably 15-20 and i'm soo down! problem is sander k will be across town the same night and so will everyone i know

...

In theory it is an "all ages" event but the crowd at most gatherings tends to be 25-30ish. I am usually one of the younger ones and I am 23.

I will be there at some point

Thanks.

im going to the SF show even though sander K is here too! with every beat of my heart there goes another psy pumpin beats! foot stompin tonite!!!!

Hmmm... so if its "all ages" can my friend with no ID come? Or do they check IDs? I've never been to this place.

wow, what a party. i had a blast...

worth every penny... even tho to me, the sound was not all that... just hella loud. posford really put on a serious show. praise the good lord no one ruined the night w/uplifting or vocal trash. serious shit all night long. atleast since 1-1.30a when i got there. :-)

who knows when he'll be back in LA... those that didn't make it, or had reservations because the price of admission really screwed themselves out of something special.

word up to the homie in the boca shirt. that was dope.

Agreed. The sound was not good at all. In fact, it was terrible. My ears were still ringing at noon today lol. What could have been an amazing night was somewhat mediocre because of it.

Posford played some great music, but sonically, he and his fans deserve much better.

Glad I went though. Good crowd, good vibe. Looking forward to seeing Halucinogen/Shpongle again.

i'm glad i took my er-20's. no ringing at all. but yeah, for the most part, i was not feeling the sound quality at all. i didn't want to say it sucked out right, because i'm still trying to get a feel on how to insert the plugs correctly. if you don't get them in just right, they don't sound good at all. you loose a lot of the mids, almost all the highs, and the bass sounds very rumbly...

but then again, my neighbor commented that was the character of the sound system. all bass, crappy mids and hi's.

is it me, or is that every time i see people say they use turbo sound, the quality just sucks. is it the people setting the stuff up that don't know what they are doing or what? we don't use turbo sound for our desert parties, but our system sounds a million times better.

Its gotta be the people setting things up. I find that at a lot of the smaller parties the sound tends to suck because they don't have money for a good engineer. A good engineer makes such a difference because great speakers only sound great when set up correctly. Turbosound makes a very nice product and when set up correctly sounds fantastic.

I'm sad that I missed this event as I was sitting around the house watching a movie last night and would have loved to go.
