Both of our weekend festivals will be in western Wisconsin, close to the heart of the psychedelic tribes of that state and those of Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario, and Illinois. The Native Americans of western Wisconsin built huge sacred earthworks that we now know as effigy mounds. These immense earthen symbols, carved into the earth, were symbols of the Divine. Just as they built their mounds, we create these parties as Cosmic Condensates; our Music, Dance, Light, and Love form a sacred structure in Space and Time, a microcosmic celebration of the Infinite. Come join with us this year by helping us to invoke the Five Elements: Earth - our beautiful new party location near Black River Falls is known and loved by many Air - The Music, both Psychedelic Trance and Chill/Downtempo/Ambient, is the air we breathe Fire - Deco in three Dimensions: Art, Light, Projection. As well as Fire and Kinetic performances. Water - Healers, the psychedelic people, the ambience, community, the beautiful something that you can't put your finger on... Spirit - the Unseen, the Energy Field, Imaginal Realm Manifest WE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound and light, 3 days of camping in a beautiful natural environment (rain or shine), running water, bathrooms and hot showers, full vending (including alcohol for those 21+).

The Chilluminati present Sacred Earth Open Air 2008 May 30, 31, June 1 near Black River Falls, Wisconsin[/b] An open air camping festival brought to life with consciousness, harmony, mind-expanding music and visuals Three days and two nights of psychedelic sound, visuals, art, fire dancing Lineup and Artists: MUBALI - LIVE AND DJ SETS! (Trishula Records - San Francisco, CA) Mubali is the trance project of Greg Farley. He has been producing and releasing psychedelic trance since 2003 and has several releases on various labels including Mistress of Evil, Trishula, Parvati, Insomnia, and Psycircle Records. His style varies from being slightly funky to slightly mental, but his hard hitting sets have reached some of the far corners of the globe. His second full length album titled Shenanigans, will be released this fall on Trishula Records. Currently based in San Francisco, he also has spent some time in the midwest with the superduo Primordial Ooze. Get ready to blast off with Greg's interpretation of hard psychedelic madness with a little twist of funk. DRAGON - LIVE AND DJ SETS! (Dharma Harmony Records / TOUCH Samadhi – Jackson, MS) www.glowing-dragon.com / www.dharmaharmony.com / www.touchsamadhi.com Dragon is David Scruggs, co-founder of Dharma Harmony Records, established in 2007 with fellow trance pal DJ Qog. With over ten years of trance DJ'ing experience and five years in the studio producing, Dragon has gained the reputation for powerful trance sets that give a strong dose of organic and synthetic fusion. Performing his first live set at the AUM Festival in 2007, David has been working relentlessly on new material for his first album, set for release this summer on Dharma Harmony. He has a particular style of trance that embraces dark basslines and edgy leads which tear through the mind, exposing the primal core inside. Dragon has performed Coast to Coast alongside artists such as Electrypnose, Artifakt, Deviant Species, Naked Tourist, Scorb, and Pondscum just to name a few. When it comes to full-power psytrance, Dragon will leave you scorched! DJ Mist (Acidance Records - Arlington, TX) Mist is an established veteran of the Texas Psytrance scene. After playing in bands his entire life, he moved on to DJing and the production of electronic music in 1997. It was during this time that he co-founded the seminal Texas Psytrance production company, Mistical Productions (1997-2007). Over the years that followed, his flawlessly mixed high-energy sets left dance floors across North America quaking. After a brief stint as an Inpsyde Media label DJ, he joined forces with Acidance Records. For them he compiled the two very successful releases, Dirty South and A Violent Reaction. His original electronic productions are currently being constructed under the name "justincaseboy". ALIGNING MINDS - LIVE (88 / Native State Records / Aleph Zero – DC) The musical palette of Aligning Minds includes jazz, classical, techno, breakbeat, drum and bass, industrial and more. For simplicity's sake, we'll refer to their collective sound as "intelligent dance music," or IDM. They are more ambient at times than IDM pioneer Aphex Twin, and more beat oriented than much hyped DJ Shadow. Unlike the other acts on 88's floor at Love, Aligning Minds are not "DJing" -- they do not spin other musicians' records. Rather, they create and then perform live electronic music by programming, synthesizing, sequencing, and the live manipulation of sounds and beats. Their music is a testament to computer nerds everywhere. Its hard to write about electronic music and not mention blips and bleeps at some point. And granted, Aligning Minds have glitchy blips and bleeps in abundance, but they also bring to the mix various natural sounds -- guitars, pianos, chimes, tablas and human voices, to name a few. Moreover, even the non-organic technological elements of their songs have a musicality to them that transcend the usual jargon. Most of their songs start sparsely, while slowly adding and subtracting elements in a way that creates a simultaneously alienating and sensual sound. Their songs are layered and textural epic journeys, never ending quite where they start out. If you let it, there is a certain trance-inducing quality that occurs when listening to so many elements at once. The Great Mundane - LIVE (Chicago, IL - Psymbolic Sounds) Shaped by a "Do It Yourself" culture, Jeffrey Acciaioli was driven by his love of music to create the moniker The Great Mundane at first to only satisfy himself. Born and raised in Farmington Hills, Michigan he was exposed and later influenced by genres such as classical, jazz, bossa nova, hip-hop, and electronica. His broad range of favorites and training allow us to enjoy his "one of a kind" sound that is anything but mundane. The Great Mundane's twisting textures, catchy drum whips, and unique soundscapes leave us with a melodic collage that is unlike anything we've heard before. The Great Mundane was first introduced into the Chicago music scene before taking his passion and energy nation wide. Soon international ears were falling upon his unique sounds and requesting his talents. Recognized and appreciated by his untraditional sounds, The Great Mundane worked with Belladonna Records to release two limited time EP's and has released his debut album "When Falls Arrive" with Psymbolic--sounds. PRIMORDIAL OOZE - LIVE (Chicawaukee, WI/IL - Divine Balance - Kabrathor) The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ's Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. Flowing sounds that seem to bubble and evolve like primitive life forms. These bundles of frequencies collaborate in a swarm like manner, creating intelligent patterns and movement. The Ooze sound creates a unique twist on the ever changing sound of psychedelic music. The Psyowa Invasion w/ Aktif, Collision, Abrahm, and Alien Audience - 5 hour DJ set! (Mind Outpsyde - Iowa) Mindoutpsyde productions works to bring Psytrance and Goa Trance to Iowa and the greater Midwest through event organization and promotion. Live DJ acts, fire and interactive blacklight performances, visual art displays, and relentless presence on the dance floor throughout almost any party in the Midwest. The Psyowa Invasion is a fusion of the original Mind Outpsyde crew who intend on taking over the world, one party at a time.

In 1968, Fortier founded the Eyes of Khamphalous Lightshow in Madison, WI. As the visuals behind the Broadway production of "Warp" and the resident lightshow for the Melkweg and Paradiso clubs in Amsterdam from 1969 to 1972, the Khamphalous Lightshow created a unique psychedelic visual experience.

Performance Artists: ARCHEDREAM FOR HUMANKIND www.adhk.org ArcheDream uses archetypal characters that perform allegories, or dreams, to personify vital issues pertaining to our lives. Psychologically speaking, an archetype is a primordial mental image inherited by all. For example, personifications of Anger, Death, Love, War and Peace all play their part in our visions of life. ArcheDream’s costumes are illuminated with ultra-violet light, which accentuates the supernatural aspect and reveals the dreamscape as the action unfolds.

DAN COVAN (ELF’s – NYC) Dan Covan has been involved with the Psychedelic trance movement since the fall of 1995 when he was wandering around the the Himalayas near a village called Manali. Following the distant boom boom booms, he came upon an opening high up in the Himalayas, there he saw happy bouncy people. He was home. They said go to Goa and he did. Dan is honored to be invited to play at the Gaian Mind Summer Festival. This trance dancing family is hands down one of the loveliest of trance family in the global trance community. Boom boom and don't miss the Drumming workshop! TRITTON (Gaian Mind – Philadelphia) www.gaian-mind.com Tritton's whole world was flipped upside down over a decade ago when two pixie sisters stumbled upon him near a beach and sprayed him with their elixir. After wandering the dunes for several days in a daze, he emerged with a new perspective on life and music. He began to seek out new and exciting sounds, which he found in electronic music. At the present, Tritton's musical journey has found him as a DJ spinning psychedelic tunes, and incorporating many different genres. Always playing for the Now, his sets range from smooth and relaxing to chaotic and eye-opening.

SUNDRAGON (Denver) A recent transmission riding a gamma ray from the star-center of our Galaxy: In the awareness that Music is Essence, that Essential expression of Life that distills Culture, Era, Locale, Thought, Emotion, and Spirit, and in the awareness that Music emerges as an expression of What Is, channeled through beings of Nature, beholding the essence of Experience, SunDragon draws together sets of Music that Invoke, sets that invoke Inspiration, Expansion, Groove, Soothing, Peace, Joy, Presence, and a sense of Uplift, in an exploration of how Music connects with itself, and how Humans use Music to connect with the Spirit Within to arrive to the feeling of being more Awake, more tuned into Now.

SOLOMOON (Metameme / Esoteric Gen / OneTribe – Denver) www.metameme.org My world was completely transformed in 1993 when I fatefully discovered the global movement of trance-ambient music. I immediately recognized this music as a timeless language that transcended not only musical genres, but also cultures and the delicate timeline of humanity. I took up the art of dj-ing in 1994 as a way to spread this aural meta-cine and share with others in the rediscovery of the ancient trance-dance ritual. Traveling great distances around the globe, I have sought communion with other trance nomads in hopes of understanding and raising awareness to what can be collectively achieved through this archaic tradition of ceremonial dance. As this musical language speaks to me, I attempt to translate to others by combining intelligent melodies and modern innovation with primal rhythms while staying true to the organic, tribal, ethnic sounds of the global village. I see and use this artistic medium of sound as a spiritual path for transcendence.

In '98, growing bored with the physical limitations of "organic" instruments, a friend passed along a beta version of the software "Reason"... it was all up-hill from there. Rory got a job in Philadelphia as a DJ, working three nights a week, leaving the rest of his time for the studio. Although an element of psychedelia has always been present in all of Rory's musical projects, psy-trance proved elusive until '01. Since then, Rory has become a resident DJ for Gaian Mind in Philadelphia, proving his abilities spinning and producing murky psychedelic-progressive trance and full-on, nighttime music. This being Fractal Phono's first visit to the Stones with the duty of pressing play, you can expect a set full of psychedelic synergy!

As a "high tech" sound designer (sampling, sequencing, morphing, programming…) and multi-instrumentalist (sitar, veena, guitars…) Magnus collaborated with several art galleries and museum, his latest sound installation at Trabekel (Sandviken, Spring 2004) met a great success.

Presenting the 7th Annual GAIAN MIND SUMMER FESTIVAL Summer Solstice / Full Moon Wednesday, June 18th to Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 Four Quarters, Central Pennsylvania, USA Artists: ~ Stone Circle Stage: Psytrance & Progressive Trance ~ RASTALIENS (Phar Psyde Records – Switzerland) Live! www.rastaliens.com / www.myspace.com/rastaliens Since about 13 years we are DJ’s. After 3 years with DJ-ing, we realized that the records from other people were not enough for us. And look at this, since about 9 years we are producing our own psychedelic trance. We started in a small cellar with a little sound system. At the beginning we just used simple software-synths and a small sequencer-program. Because of our limited possibilities, it was not easy for us to produce a good quality of sound... Hard work and a lot of enthusiasm caused a booking from some friends in Switzerland. They wanted us for a live-act. Jehaa, our first set, which we played with some quite old synths, as like Roland 101 and Korg Trident. As you can understand, we were more than nervous. But we were more than happy, that the feedback of our first act was really great and amazing. So, we decided to go ahead with our crazy music. The time and the more bookings opened us the chance to buy some new sound-machines. On a special day, we decided to send our first songs to some different labels around the world. We packed this CD´s together with all our positive vibrations and what happened: Yaniv, from Hadshot Haheizar released our first two songs. "FREAK BOOSTER" and "UNIDENTIFIED SPECIES.” A big thank you to you, Yaniv! We guess, we do not have to explain you our feeling, as we held our first vinyl in our hands. Unbelievable… After playing at many parties around the globe, like Portugal, Netherlands, Mexico, Greece, USA, UK, etc., there was time for an album which was released also on Hadshot and more should follow on Boom! Records (which released also the 2nd album), Digital Psionics, Ketuh, Glowing Flame, and so on… Now, after 10 years of producing some of the most groove enticing psy-trance in the world, and a jaunt across the cosmos and returning with new alien technologies, the Rasta's are back! With over 26 single releases on the world’s most respected labels and a full 2 artists albums under their belt; get ready for a better than return of the Jedi's third installment as the Rastaliens return “Back On Earth.” It has been 3 long years that the world has waited for these highly anticipated corkers to be unleashed. After a long break and transmitting various tracks from the outer universe before re-landing with these 10 bum-spanking belters of intergalactic grooves that the world has been waiting for. Phar Psyde Records are proud to present our third album, first full artists album and Rastaliens third full album to date. The interstellar voyage returns to the good ol' milky-way with the alien sounds re-engineered, remastered and re tweaked to give a full-punching grittier style to previous releases. All in all this is one phat album that we are proud to release and know will stir the sensations of the soul from the deepest emotions buried within. So tune in to the alien FM and let the Rastaliens guide you through from the upfront to the Phar Psyde of sound, possibility and imagination. BRAINCELL (Glowing Flame Records – Switzerland) Live! www.braincell-studios.net / www.myspace.com/braincellstudio I grow up in a small city in south Germany. After learning several instruments like guitar, trumpet and percussion etc., I started playing in a rock band. In 1994 I had my first experience with trance music on little party in Switzerland. After that I decided to start DJing. Since the trance scene in south Germany was very little, I begun to organize parties in the Black Forest. After a while the project RASTALIENS came up with my friend Jürgen. Check it out at www.rastaliens.com. After moving to Switzerland in autumn 2003 I decided to start my own side project BRAINCELL, in which I want to produce some different tunes to our RASTALIENS-stuff. Do you think this is air you're breathing? Do you experience the world of your fellow-creatures exactly as they do or you just think you do? Do you maybe think that the way you experience the world around and inside you is the only possible experience? And does all this awaken a desire for a quest through this unknown dimension of seeing, feeling and experiencing things the way you never did before? ‘Cos it does... ...Ralph K. (aka Braincell / Rastaliens) is back again to shaken up the very foundations of our world. “Transformation of Reality” is the next level of evolution of this brilliant musician and it is a highly electrifying, mind-bending array of carefully blended frequencies that completely work for both the dance-floor freak and the attentive listener.
