Huge Ass list of Dance Camps & Events

[PleasureSean]

Here's a totally opionated guide to what looks like good music up on the playa this year. There's obviously a ton of stuff I don't know about as there are like 1,000 parties going on at once, so it's always a wise choice to explore to your hearts content, but these camps are going to be a better bet than most I'd say music wise.

Brass Tax Boombox (10:00 & C)
Yes, yes YES! Breakbeat, electro, whateva from the big ass boombox with Brass Tax DJs and many special guests. Will be going Monday night, so come on out while everyone else is still setting up.

El Circo and The Do Lab (10:00 & B)
The El Circo dome is legendary and they are joining up with LA's The Do Lab – should be epic. Music and crowd is kind of on the neo-tribal/modern primitive side with lots of glitch, dubstep, & breaks.

NEXUS (10:00 & E)
Glitch/breaks music with style. Between the Boombox, Simpler Times, & Nexus, you could pretty much rock your entire playa nights between just these three camps.

Root Society (10:00 & Esplanade)
Massive setup on the corner with 2 domes. Reports are kinda hit or miss on this spot, so you decide depending on the night and crowd. Full schedule at: http://www.myspace.com/rootsociety

Pink Mammoth (9:00 & D) – Day party only
Deep house music with the Pink Mammoth DJs for dancing the afternoon away – very very nice.

Rock Bottom (9:00 & F) – Day party only
Pretty hush hush, but some of the Deep End kids secured a big theme camp space and are rumored to be bringing a nice sounds system for some special guests DJs along with the local Deep End DJs. Probably will be smaller scale than the madness of the Deep End of past years & there won't be an open bar, but let me just say...Oh. Hells. Yes.

Philadelphia Experiment (8:00 & Esplanade)
House/breakbeat from the Philly crew – def worth checkin out

Soulicious (7:30 & H) – Day Party only
Pretty low key camp setup with amazing house music. Mid afternoon to sundown usually with Friday "soulbrunch" being their big gig of the week.

Shift Ministries (4:30 & Esplanade)
This looks to be more of a spiritually oriented camp with some great music. Full lineup at
http://people.tribe.net/stacia/blog/55c ... cd24175a07

False Profit (4:00 & Esplanade)
Tuesday night is their big party, but they might throw a smaller shindig some time during the week at camp with a breaks/glitch feel so keep an eye out if you pass by.

Hookahdome (3:00 & Esplanade)
This looks to be a fun dome setup with good music and is probably worth a looksie at some point.

Opulent Temple (2:00 & Esplanade)
Big, loud, & packed with people - progressive house & breaks mostly. Some people dig this setup, some don't – I fall into the second category as I've had neg experiences with this camp's leader, so I skip it. YMMV. DJ schedule at http://www.opulenttemple.org/

Green Gorilla Lounge (???)
They're not doing a big sound camp this year as they didn't get placed for a theme camp, but some of the crew will be up and throwing down some house music at night on a smaller scale if you can find them.

DJs
Aside from the local all-stars, here are a couple of DJs that will be on the playa to be on the lookout for: Freq Nasty (breaks), R/D (glitch), Nickodemus (house/latin/world), Lee Coombs (breaks/electro), Bassnectar – (glitch/dubstep), Patricio (breaks), Wolf and Lamb (minimal techno), Cheb I Sebbah (world), Tipper (breaks), Adam Freeland (breaks), Ana Sia (glitch), Marques Wyatt (house), Lee Burridge (progressive), Worthy (tech house)

Some highlights of the week
Fewer camps/DJs are announcing their lineups and set times in advance, so I think it's gonna be mostly a year of wandering around all the amazing sound camps till you find a vibe you like. That said, here a couple of pre-planned events that should be fun.

MONDAY
- Boombox will be up and running

TUESDAY
- False Profit party Tuesday night (4:00 & Esplanade) with the Unimog – breaks 'n' glitch music
- Minimal techno with NYC's Wolf + Lamb at Disorient Bus DEX out near the trash fence (10pm-sunrise)

WEDNESDAY
- Special day party at the Boombox all afternoon
- Temple of Breaks – like the name says – breakbeat music at the Temple all night

THURSDAY
- Freq Nasty and Bassnectar at Root Society (this was mobbed last year BTW)
- Space Cowboys Unimog at Flaming Lotus Girls SOMA late night – Space Cowboys & guest DJs
- Lee Coombs at Nexus (2am set)

FRIDAY
- Soulbrunch party at Solicious (7:30 & H) – high noon through the afternoon with breakfast burritos & mojitos – house music
- Unimog at Rock Bottom
- Special guest DJ at Pink Mammoth in the afternoon
- Burning of the Boombox Friday night/Saturday morning with Freq Nasty & special guests
- Full Moon Space Cowboys Hoedown – return of the legendary Unimog mobile soundsystem Friday night get down. Will be located at the Raygun Gothic Rocket Ship and will begin right after the rocket launch – goes till the breaka dawn with Space Cowboys DJs & special guests.

SATURDAY
- Disorient Car Wash (Esplanade & 4:30) with Unimog, Rock Bottom DJs and special guests
- I think they are burning something this night
- Bassnectar's sunrise set is usually legendary – not sure where, but probably at the Simpler Times/El Circo-DoLab camp.

[JennNeSaisQuoi]

Awesome - great info - thanks much!

[soupman]

Yeah thanks man! Great to hear about the Deep End guys possibly returning on a smaller scale.

We're also throwing a party Thursday night featuring Radiohiro and MC Zulu (Bombay Beatbox, Resonate & Freakeasy Chi), DJ Dayhota (Superjane) and the Bad Advice Bear Residents. 4:30 and Genome

[larissa77]

It's been years since I've been down, but I'm trying to remember...

Around what time approximately does El Circo usually try to do their fire performance on the Friday? Is it around 10pm? Earlier?

[Stickygreen]

good list, I'd love to se Tipper again, he's awesome!

any idea where, when?

[drbeurope]

Thank you Thank you!!!

BRING THAT BASS!!! :twisted:

[pizzamancer]

Don't forget the events at the Boobie Bar:

Monday - Boobs and Balls Night

Tuesday - Vampirates Night

Wednesday - Furry Night

Thursday - Come to the Dark Side-We Have Cookies Night

Friday - Sparkle Night (Hopefully, Sex Filth Avenue will have enough for everyone )

Saturday - I Smell Something Burning Night

[rsl]

where and when is adam freeland playing?

he blew my mind years ago at earthcore in austrlaia...incredible dj with impeccable taste

thanks

[PleasureSean]

I know of a few additional DJ dates that the camp members stated they didn't want to go public with, but for the most part, I don't know the DJ schedules of most of the DJs on the list, just that they will be up there. Simpler Times may be posting their DJ schedule this coming week, but maybe not. If any of these camps post more info, I'll update this post. As for Freeland and Tipper - I'd say that the Brass Tax Boombox, Nexus, and Simpler Times/El Circo-DoLab camps are going to be the best bet for these artists, so maybe rock up and introduce yourself to the people in these camps and ask. I'm running tight on time for BM prep personally at this point, so I'm kinda done chasing down music/DJ leads. So if YOU want to find out where your fave DJ is playing, then get a hold of them yourself (myspace is usually best) and ask them when/where they'll be playing on the playa and then post it here if you find something out. That would be a super cool collaboration. Thanks.

[C.f.M.]

Big Puffy Yellow will have their annual 4:20 party.

Hey all! I've been compiling dj/music lineups for big sound camps for 4 years running... I'll be posting the full calendar on my web site [u][b]next Wednesday [/b][/u]in PDF so you can download, email, copy, share, memorize and drool over it...

One thing that is for sure... several camps aren't listing actual start/stop times for specific djs... I am still awaiting a few final lineups to be sent my way... once I have 'em, the post will be up! Again, no later than Wednesday.

Much love to you all... This year is going to be epic!
