Come join us for a night of INCREDIBLE music, friendly crowd, quality drinks anda fantastic Seattle afterhours that’s not to be missed ! More information will be posted soon !

KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR AFTERHOURS SPECIAL GUESTS !

21+ W/ID – $10.00 OCTOBER 12th, 2013

Featuring Performances By :

——ANODYNE INDUSTRIES—— :

Anodyne Industries emerged onto the SF Bay Area electronic music scene in 2009. The project was developed by Aaron King as a means to push the boundaries of electronic dance music in new directions with gentle nudges of lush melodics, or the brute force of punishing basslines and broken beats if necessary.

When it comes to conforming to any one genre or style it’s of little concern to Aaron and it shows in his varied works ranging from 92 BPM downtempo IDM to 170 BPM halfstep Drum and Bass. Despite the broad range he covers, Anodyne Industries’ tracks stand out with an unmistakably unique form, style and energy.

Aaron’s unwavering dedication to the production of his “Anti-Apathy Sonic Warfare Systems” caught the attention of the IDM Forum netlabel in 2009 and they picked up his first single, “Passion Drummer” for release on the compilation album, “IDMf007: Continuum”.

Shortly afterwards, Aaron quickly returned to work and released his debut EP on the IDMf netlabel titled, “The Gateway EP” in April 2010. The release was a personal success for Aaron and received praise from blogs and electronic music communities around the internet. Since then he’s released the ferocious “Combat Singles” under his own web-store and is hard at work on a new EP due out by early 2011.

Whether he’s brutalizing dancefloors with a mix of dubstep, IDM and DnB, or hard at work in the studio creating a new armament of weaponized audio, Anodyne Industries is definitely making his way to the forefront of West Coast electronic music.

——OSIRIS INDRIYA—— :

Osiris Indriya began developing his deep and driving sound in 1997. After 7 years playing bass and low brass in school and garage bands, he found something unexpected in the bins of a local record store. The album was µ-Ziq vs. The Auteurs. It didn’t follow any of the standard rules of music in structure or sound. He was so intrigued, that he traded his bass for a MIDI keyboard and started recording electronic music on his own.

Osiris moved from the burbs to the city of Seattle for college, attending Cornish College of the Arts, majoring in Classical & New Music Composition. There he spent most of his time in the school recording studio designing sound and experimenting with the electronic equipment. His first semester, he landed his dream job working at Orpheum Records on Broadway. There he was exposed to a wide range of music and artists from all over the spectrum, and eventually discovered the thriving underground electronic music culture in Seattle. After exploring the scene, he joined an underground collective called Seelie Court, where he developed as a DJ, performer, event promoter, and eventually a community leader.

In 2001, Osiris teamed up with Michael Manahan (from Starseed) and Isis Indriya (from Seelie Court) to create The Oracle Gatherings – a series of 23 themed events based on a new original tarot deck (oracelgatherings.com). For nine years, this series became an influential component of the West Coast “Tribal Underground” dance music culture by combining the experiences of cathartic dance, performance art, education, and the expressions of spirit. During this period, Osiris released his first full length album “Reach Within”, which included music written for Oracle Gatherings ritual performances.

After experiencing some success at home, Osiris looked to the wider world for inspiration. In 2005, he teamed up with Infinite Connections to bring his favorite international artists to Seattle. This resulted in several next-level events including IOSIS, Breaks & Freaks, and the Magnetic/Kinetic events at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center. The artists these events brought to Seattle included several artists from the progressive psytrance label, Iboga Records, from Denmark. Osiris became a label DJ for Iboga and released his first remix collaboration with SunControlSpecies of “Little Honey” by Antix (Twin Coast Remixes).

In 2007, Osiris and Brian Enoch (aka DJ Amanita) from Infinite Connections began performing under the moniker FUTURE NURSES. Together they embraced new fusions of Psytrance, Techno and Elektro sounds, opening for Ticon, Atmos, Ace Ventura, LOUD, Antix, Perfect Stranger, Vibrasphere, Kox Box, Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen and Shpongle. Their funky and progressive brand of psytrance blended with circus freak stage shows made this act a mainstay of the underground, night club, and rave scenes. By 2009, they were featured together and separately at Pacific Northwest festival massives including Shambhalla Music Festival in Salmo, BC.

Starting in 2009, FUTURE NURSES had expanded from a music act into an event production company, creating two successful club event series. HOTwired featured first-time 2×4 sets by local and international DJs fusing genres and bridging communities. HEAD|Set featured international trance music artists in intimate concert venues.

Osiris’ second solo recording project, Break on Through- EP, was independently relaeased in 2011, as a collection of the remaining ritual performance recordings from The Oracle Gatherings. The track “Gifted” from this release became his most popular to date, getting regular play on internet radio including Pandora, and SomaFM’s Groove Salad.

In 2013, FUSION FOR PEACE PRODUCTIONS , the Tokyo-based label for top electronic music producers Juno Reactor, Joujouka and Sugizo, released Osiris’ second full length album “I, Aeternal”.

Today, Osiris continues to create original dance music and perform at festivals, clubs and legendary events in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

——IG88—— :

Branden Clarke, otherwise known as IG88, would maybe like to fool you into believing that he and his buttons are buried somewhere in between a spray of ambient elation and the sands of a remote desert planet – but there’s something else here. Something tangible and soulful, something raw and quick. Something like the full breath of a thunderhead, the shards of sparks following a blunt and sonic hit to the nail on the head.

Out of the roving and admittedly robotic mind of a human – flesh and blood – IG88 sounds nice and totally means to. Much like Clarke’s process, the work of IG88 wrestles with the past and the hilariously sudden future, and tells us a bit more about how to listen to it.

——STELLAR JAY aka. RUSO—— :

I got mixed up into listening to Hardcore and Jungle way back in the nineties in Russia by my brother. He got into what started the rave scene in Moscow which is not quite the same as you would expect here in the States but the bottom line is, deep electronic sounds which I eventually could not resist manipulating myself.

I started producing music in 2006 and quickly realized that sticking to one genre or trying to classify what I create had no value to me. I knew that for me, speaking from the heart and letting the music create itself instead of trying to force fixed ideas onto a blank canvas is a critical to speaking my true voice. By being diverse and open-minded to different methods of production and all genres, I am able to truly stay within the moment and find myself letting go of thoughts and being present in the moment which to me is a borderline meditative state. This allows me to express my emotions and feelings via the music medium the same way I express them in my art.

——INTRVRT—— :

Hi. I’m Russian. I like music, and I like to have drinks with my friends ! I am an energetic human popsicle and I try to share that with everyone I know ! Let me play some music for you while I work on my first EP… Le Fin.

~~~International Artists~~~

~*~ griff ~*~ Melbourne, Australia – (dubtronica)
|| griff tunes // Dersuuzala Music ||

griff started out his musical life playing blues guitar while growing up in North East Victoria, Australia This led to some fun times in various bands until a move to the UK opened his eyes to the endless possibilities of electronic music.

Upon returning to Australia, griff launched into the world of production and spent hours hunched over an MPC2000 and various half-working grooveboxes. It wasn’t until 2007, when griff decided to study audio engineering at RMIT, that his productions and compositions came into their own. After finishing his studies, griff was employed by Melbourne institution Sing Sing Studios, where he learnt from some of the industry’s best engineers and producers while working on the projects of some amazing musicians.

From this experience, griff has developed a truly unique sound that encompasses the best elements of analogue and digital production techniques. Smooth guitar hooks, crunchy beats, deep basses and constantly evolving progressions are trademarks to his sound. These trademarks were highlighted in his debut EP “Elwood” released on Summer Rain Recordings in 2009.
griff released the “Space Folk” EP on Adapted Records in March 2012 to wide spread praise and followed this up with “So It Goes”, also on Adapted Records which was released in September 2012. As well as these two releases, he recorded and produced a full length album written with his brother, Bryn Burnell under the moniker of “Dersu Uzala”. His latest release on Adapted Records the “Elements” EP, has already garnered acclaim for it’s originality, melodic variety and high quality productions aesthetics.

Both DJing and playing live sets of original material, griff has delighted punters at parties including Eclipse 2012, Regrowth, Rainbow Serpent, Kuranda Roots, Wide Open Space, Dragonfly Dawn, Bushweek, Brown Alley, My Aeon and a stirling sunrise set at the Nexus camp at the legendary Burning Man in 2010. Playing at a WHOMP! party this year he supported Grammatik on the Melbourne leg of his Australian tour. 2013 sees griff heading to Canada to play The Ampitheatre at Shambhala music festival as well as a run of other club gigs in the US.
Apart from the music, he plays a mean game of table tennis and is currently looking for coffee company endorsement to help him create his next musical release.

~*~ Kodiak Kid ~*~ Melbourne, Australia (glitchtronic)
|| Whomp Music ||

Kodiak Kid is one of the most diverse & exciting DJ’s in Australia’s underground broken beat scene. Having been instrumental in pushing the recent rise of the Glitch Hop/Midtempo movement in hometown, Melbourne. He has been running his own event company “Whomp!” showcasing label nights featuring local and interstate artists, as well as hosting a vast array of unique international acts and sold out shows. Between hosting a weekly radioshow on kissfm, running events, experimenting with producing and more recently starting up his own record label Whomp Music, Kodiak Kid has a non stop booking schedule that rarely sees him with a night off in Melbourne.

Constantly pushing boundaries with his fun, intelligent & emotive genre bending sets, and well known for taking the audience on a beautiful & deep journey, has seen Kodiak Kid perform at some of Australia’s prestige outdoor festivals including Rainbow Serpent Festival, Eclipse, Subsonic, Wide Open Space, Let them eat Cake, Deliverance, Maitreya, Strawberry Fields amongst overseas ventures to peform n New Zealand and recent tour to Canada and the USA playing a string of shows and festivals including Burning Man!

A high level of hard work, drive, commitment and undenying passion & love for music is what keeps Kodiak Kid a force to be reckoned with. An all round gentleman, a dancefloor demon, aspiring artist inspired by friends, culture, community and music.

~*~ Big-E ~*~ Kelowna, Canada

From the mountaintops to the beaches, BIG E knows what you need to get there, to that place where the party don’t stop, the booty keeps shaking, and the bass pounds you into submission on the sticky floor, just the way you like it.

The beats are guaranteed to bounce when BIG E spikes the decks with a genre spanning repertoire of stylish and sinful tracks. Breaks. Drum & Bass. House. The motto is: If you’ve got to hit something, hit it hard. Then, hit it harder.
