Lauryn Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The Philadelphia Shamanista Initiative is proud to present our seventh hallucinogenic gala: CONVERGENCE convergence: n. - 1) the process of coming together towards a common point or meeting place. 2) a representation of common ground between theories or phenomenon. 3) the approach of an infinite series to a finite limit. Saturday, June 18th 10pm - 10am, a full 12 hours of music! A Free Open Air Tribal Gathering For Music, Dance, Art, Free __Expression, and Peace in the scenic Pine Barrens of Southeastern New Jersey. A trancendental dance experience, a pagan celebration, a one-night CONVERGENCE of the tribes in honor of the summer solstice. Please join us for an evening of psychedelic trance in a beautiful open air forest setting. Location is approximately 1 hour from Philadelphia and 2 from from NYC. Line-up We are very pleased to welcome: DJ LAURYN (Mistical Productions, Boston, MA) Lauryn is best known from her energetic jaunts up and down the East Coast, blowing up dancefloors with her dark funky full on sounds. Yet, Lauryn has also been exploring the gentler side of the psychedelic sound, as she consistently evolves the already impeccable style that has made her a Boston crowd-pleaser. Come witness a special sunrise set as Lauryn blends the finest beats of light and dark. ONNOMON (Soular Records, Philadelphia) Performing LIVE! www.onnomon.com Philly's phavorite home grown trance producer returns for his final performance of 2005. Onnomon produces a deep and distinctive psychedelic tribal sound tossed with some full-on dressing. Don't miss this last show before Dean disappears to India for the rest of year. For this gig, they are going to push their computers to the limit! Let's be sure to send off this local hero in proper style. Eg~Bot vs. Mescalinium (Psy Planet/PSI, Philadelphia/NYC) Last year Eg~Bot ripped up the dancefloor at Panacea with his signature full on mayhem. This time we are presenting you an exclusive 3 hour tag team set with PSI's own resident maestro Mescalinium. A twisted journey into the darkest hours of the night. Smooth, yet crunchy, psychedelic and immensely satisfying. The sound of the Philly Underground.

Background info: Since 2002, the Philadelphia Shamanista Initiative (PSI) has put together some of the most memorable open air psy-trance events in the new york/philly region. Having single-handedly revitalized the outdoor party scene 3 years ago with the infamous Acid Reflux parties, and with 2 wildly successful events last summer, CONVERGENCE will once again bring together the cosmic forces that guarantee a fully trancendental experience. UPDATE 2.0 If you would like to attend and obtain directions, please RSVP by sending an email to sunshinegoa3@yahoo.com clearly indicating your name, where you are coming from, and how you came to hear about this event. We are also very pleased to announce that Onnomon will be performing *twice* over the course of the evening. Dean will perform a solo set earlier in the night of some his newer material. Later in the morning, he will be joined by Dan Covan doing live electronic and tribal percussion. Once again, this will be Onnomon's final performance of the year (!) so be sure to come out early to get the full experience. The artists and organizers are all very excited about this special gathering. We hope you can come out and be a part of it. -the PSI team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
