Presenting the evening's chillographers ::

KALPATARU TREE (LIVE luscious psy-dub)

Kalpataru Tree has been mysteriously lurking in the global chillout psy-dub scene ever since his 2007 release “Scattered Fragments of the Eternal Dream.” Breathing organic life into digital music with intricately woven bass + guitar riffs, female vocals, drums, singing bowls + more—the overall intention behind the music is to simultaneously soothe and stimulate—to chill out and drift out—pushing and pulling the soul in the dreamy realms of dub saturated wonder. Residing outside of Ashland, Oregon, Curtis Humphrey, the man behind Kalpataru Tree, finds inspiration in nature, love, and the immensity of the human experience, and seeks to channel these emotions through his music. » www.kptree.com » www.myspace.com/kalpatarutree

MICHAEL MANAHAN (Starborne / Decibel)

Michael Manahan is an essential and vital element of the Left Coast electronic music community; he nourishes the underground not only with his deep and phat-funky tribal oriented tech house sets but also with his immense contributions to the exploration of consciousness and spiritual evolution through art and music. This DJ, performer, producer, and space cowboy is also the co-founder of the Oracle Gatherings, the co-producer of the Decibel Festival, as well as the co-producer of the electronic music stage at Hempfest, the world’s largest reform protest. Also the owner of Starborne Productions, Manahan is an innovator and a leader of the Seattle dance community and tribal culture; a mainstay in the scene whose presence always ups the love whether he is spinning dubby house, hard techno, glitch-ridden breaks, spacey downtempo, or just hanging out being himself. » www.michaelmanahan.com
