Roots of Creation
"This band has perfected a Jam-Reggae sound…rhythmic jams dusted with an electronica flavor and boosted by funk-rock riffs. When just four guys can go to this many funky and interesting places, you want to go with them. This is definitely a band to catch – as the title of the CD suggests – live." – Jon Sobel / New Indie CDs
Biodiesel
BioDiesel lies in razor thin space between band and dj, synthetic and human, man and machine, steadily churning out their environmentally friendly Intelligent Dance Music. The mission to save the world one show at a time continues…
Sophistafunk
"Sophistafunk has a genre-destroying range of musical ability and mix of socially-conscious lyrics. Much of the trio’s set was spent rifling through thick instrumental funk, fluid vocals, soul crooning, metal, reggae and intricate interplay between Adam Gold’s four-keyboard setup and Emanuel Washington’s drums — an infectious journey that left the full crowd gasping for air."
– Dan Rys, The Daily Free Press (Boston)
Beam&Deem
Beam&Deem is an ever-evolving launch pad for the musings of Zach Catarelli and Chris Coffey. The duo, bolstered by a fixative of relentless musical curiosity and experimentation, presents a fresh and innovative act that creates a multi-sensory experience, catapulting listeners into a soundscape where classical elements create a welcoming familiarity, but where the air is also tinged with unexpectedness. In an era where the evolution of music involves merging mind with technology, Beam&Deem offers a breath of life into the machine, generating a unique sound that will shake both your mind and your behind. Beam&Deem has been expanding their presence within the electronic music community, and in recent months has shared the stage with OTT, Bluetech, Eliot Lipp, the Pnuma Trio, and many more.
ZXL
"ZXL is the live wire of NYC’s electronica scene. Born in Brooklyn in 2008 as a collaboration between folktronica mastermind Zack Hagan and improv-dance duo 1050 (Alan D & Wayan Zoey), the band pushes the boundaries of man and machine with their dynamic performances and a repertoire that traverses a host of genres, from drum ‘n bass to deep house, jazz-funk to noise-pop to trip-hop, disco to ambient. ZXL made their onstage debut at Camp Bisco VII, where Zack Hagan received the "Endurance Award" from jambands.com, as he performed on all three of the fest’s stages. Other festival highlights include NYC’s CMJ & Toronto’s NxNE. The band is also a mainstay of the East Coast rave revival scene, playing at events such as PEX’s Decompression and Winkel & Balktick’s Stranded!"
DJ Morale
DJ Morale, a Bay Area native now living in New York, has been rocking dance floors across the states for years, constantly gaining popularity and playing ever-larger shows. He sticks to his guns of punchy beats and heavy bass to get the crowds moving, spinning tracks from a wide variety of genres including breaks, booty bass, glitch, electro fidget/hip-house, dubstep, hip hop, and party classics and BASSSSSSS!
This event will feature an auction of rare psychedelic memorabilia, including laboratory glassware from Sasha Shulgin’s lab, signed Albert Hofmann collector’s items, original visionary artworks, and one-of-a-kind jewelry and custom clothing (Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin and his partner Ann documented the creation and exploration of MDMA, 2C-B, and hundreds of other psychedelic compounds in their books PIHKAL and TIHKAL; Albert Hofmann, Ph.D., is the late chemist who invented LSD in 1938).
*Twilight will be held less than 2 blocks from Horizons, giving attendees plenty of time to eat and relax before a night out with MAPS.
