BOM Shankar! Massive HUGE outpouring of love and healing for our dear friend Cheb I Sabbah, who has recently heard the devastating news he has stage 4 cancer. Without health insurance, the dance and culture communities of the Bay Area are coming together in celebration of his life and of his contribution to the music scene, to give thanks and resources for his cancer treatment.

Because he will need tens of thousands of dollars (see www.chebisabbah.org ) to pay for treatments and is not able to work at this time, this is a 100% benefit to cover his life and medical expenses and support our friend.

1015 Folsom is generously gifting the whole Club for our friend in thanks to his dedicated years of service to the dance and music community and for his impact on art and culture in our community.

*** Massive Alter for Prayers, thoughts, feelings to Chebiji ***
***** Love, Community, Connection, Hope, Health *****

*** Midnight Healing Ceremony ***

* Opening DJ set dedicated to Cheb i Sabbah's music *

Suggested minimum donation at the door $15-$125+
Doors 10pm
Presale link will be posted soon

DJ Amar - Mastering Your Mix
(music mixing workshop for dancers)
10am-12pm

Learn how to make an impressive sounding mix for your next performance using industry standard state of the art software that you can download free. With a few simple steps you can adjust bass, midrange and treble frequencies; cross-fade one track into the next or edit a track down to just the portions you need; adjust the volume on one song if it is noticeably lower or higher than another; add layers using beats and ambient melodies from other songs. This workshop will give an overview of key features and shortcuts to get yourself started, show you how to edit a track, use the fade in and out feature, add a second track, and make a mix using 3 songs with one piece of music overlayed on another so you can learn how to mix a continuous set with smooth transitions for your performances.

Sherri Wheatley - Combos and Transitions
1pm-4pm

Combos and Transitions: Learn interesting new combinations that really emphasize the “fusion” in tribal fusion bellydance. Develop techniques to make your combinations and choreography less predictable by utilizing different planes of space and exploring varied staging options. Strong emphasis is also placed on creating interesting transitions between combinations to make choreography more varied. Mini “workshop within the workshop” will consist of several exercises that will help dancers connect to their inner muses and learn effective techniques to generate new choreography. Workshop will conclude with a choreography composed of the various combinations and transitions we will learn in class.

The Artists:
MASON BACH
http://www.masonbach.com
http://www.myspace.com/masonbach
Toronto based music producer/performer Mason Bach creates unity within an immediate sphere of listeners by making sense of our modern aural landscape. Using a hybrid of electronically generated soundscapes and rhythms juxtaposed by live, modulated violin, Bach creates an awareness of new music and sound amongst the greater population. Trained in classical violin from the age of three and continuing to perform regularly throughout his university years, the foundation was created for a career as a Classical Musician. However, after obtaining a mismatched pair of turntables and a dusty crate of early 80’s Electro Pop and Classic house, his addiction to the rich sounds of Electronic Music was formed. Bach chose to further his education by obtaining an Audio Engineering and Technology diploma. Upon graduating, he has taken extensive post-graduate courses, specializing in the implementation of MIDI controllers and human interface design using Max/MSP allowing him to explore the endless capabilities of sound created through electronic circuitry and computers.

GURPREET CHANA [THE TABLA GUY]
http://www.thetablaguy.com
http://www.myspace.com/thetablaguy
It all started from banging his hands on pots and pans or anything else he could get his hands on to hear and feel the beat. His grandfather Kesar Singh Chana saw this enthusiasm and gave him his first Tabla set and since that moment 29 years ago, there has been no looking back.Gurpreet has been taught in the Punjab Gharana (style) from his Ustad Ji Professor Parshotam Singh.His passion for percussion has taken him to perform at many music concerts and festivals around the globe.From constantly creating and collaborating amongst his peers, Gurpreet's music has been repeatedly requested and more importantly remembered for its distinctive sound and moving beats.This has led him to perform and record with artists such as Nelly Furtado, Wyclef Jean, legendary UK DJ/ Producer Bally Sagoo, Juno Award winning Kiran Ahluwalia, The Bombay Dub Orchestra, Jorane, DJ Rekha, and open for Pete Rock and Lady Sovereign.

VERSION XCURSION
http://www.versionxcursion.com

SASSA'LE and ARAM SCARAM continue to break boundaries and concepts in pushing the music they love - DUB.Their former radio program on CKLN 88.1 FM established itself for 11 years in the community and internationally as a source for dub music both new and old, and for pushing new and exciting Canadian sounds.

http://www.myspace.com/delhi2dublin

Vancouver-based DELHI 2 DUBLIN is a group of five multi-cultural musicians who mash up electronica and world music, heavy on the bhangra, Celtic and dub flavours. Fusing tabla, fiddle, dhol, Punjabi vocals, and electric sitar with scorching electronic beats, the crew takes listeners on a wild ride through global sounds and danceable rhythms.

Recently, they finished putting together their second album Delhi 2 Dublin Remixed, choosing some of their favorite producers from around the globe to remix their first album with an emphasis on more bass, energy and funk. They have rapidly established themselves as forerunners of a new wave of cross-cultural club music.


NAWTIKS

NAWTIKS are Nik Mutta and Randy Kahlon. Though they've been creating their own hybrid sounds for many years, their popularity has recently skyrocketed through international support from acclaimed DJs, such as the BBC's Bobby Friction. Through live instrumentation, samples and electronics, they take Indian musical elements and mash them up with a variety of contemporary styles and genres. Their "vintage Bollywood meets modern beats" youtube videos are quickly achieving cult-like status with urban hipsters. ANITA KATAKKAR will be joining Nawtiks on tabla.
