After a long hiatus Embrace the Light returns with Another World, an overnight camping event to take place October 3rd, one hour south of Minneapolis.

Join us as we journey into our minds and out to the cosmos to a world of magic and imagination where dreams become reality and reality is not what it seems.  This psychedelic art and music event will take you within and without of your world and maybe bring you home again…

More info and lineup to follow soon.

Thanks for stickying my party Abe.

We're getting our lineup together and getting things organized and it's looking really good so far.  I'm very pleased with how this is all coming together.  Should be unforgettable. 

With a little luck we should be able to post our full line-up and everything else we've got going on shortly after we return from Burning Man (2-3 weeks).

I can tell you right now that we're planing on having two stages of music going around the clock, with outdoor dancing during the day and a heated dance-floor for late-night dancing comfort.  We'll have fire-performers, an effigy burn, performing artists, and at least a few things that you've never seen before and that will totally blow your mind. 

The venue is amazing.  It's going to be on the grounds of a mansion surrounded by a stream and old-growth forest.  We've got the best of both worlds in that we can party outside and we have space to bring things inside in case of bad weather or cold Minnesota nights.

I promise you that this event will take you on a journey to Another World.

holy shit this sounds amazing….

way to step up Eddy, way to step up!!! sending you love.

Here's the lineup:

DJs and Live Music

DAN EFEX – PSYTRANCE

Dan Efex is well known for his ability to draw a frenzied excitement out of even the mellowest of crowds. It is not uncommon to see fans packed shoulder to shoulder, hands in the air, as he leads them through an energetic and intoxicating journey on the dance floor. There are many who consider him to be one of the founders of the Midwests trance scene, a scene that is still strong and growing today. He was one of the first to introduce the Midwest to the soaring build-ups and powerful explosions characteristic of some of his styles of trance.

Aerosis – PSYTRANCE

Aerosis was formed in the summer of 2006 by Goa Trance artists Bobby “Synogen” Ognyanov and Jeremy “Tempestuous G” Green. The two talents convened at a site called ACIDplanet and have been learning production from each other ever since. The first track the two created, Contorsion, is also their first song to be released professionally through Suntrip Records. Contorsion is the 2nd track featured on the Twist Dreams compilation, and we are delighted and honored to be on such a renowned label with such talented artists at the hearth of the duo's formation.
Machi

Machi – Xcience – Milwaukee, WI

Ekimskrid – Mindoutpsyde, Iowa City IA

The Professor – MetaEntrance, Central IL

I love igniting the dance floor with intense, sophisticated and high energy full on psychedelic trance. The connection created between myself and the psychedelic stompers is what drives my passions. I select my music based on the quality of acoustical space it creates, defining musical journeys in order to purify electromagnetic conduits. I like to get inside people's hearts and bring out the trippy sprinkles by blasting everyone with super sonic love beams. I am a galactic activation portal. Enter me!
Andrew Paepke

Andrew Paepke – Audiognomes, Madison, WI

Aktif – Mindoutpsyde, Iowa City IA

I am a warm and wild psy slinger from the nether regions of the known cosmos. Origionally from the Ukraine, I was “trance”-planted into the dark fields of PsyOwa where I propegate waves of devious and meniacle sonic healing. I bear gifts of swirling psychedellia, wrapped in a myriad of patterns and arrays of soundscapes. I DJ and produce psychedelic trance. I am a perpetual student of life's teachings. I am psychedelic, I am unique, I am funny. I like things that make me laugh. I like to laugh, and am dying to meet you!
noise

noise – Psytance

Reversal darkened mindwave seduction spiritual autopsy and dismembered faith. Ultraviolet soundscape technician and sonic disruptor automaton. Master challenger of reality and perception, neophyte wanderer of the “usual” realm. Gadgets are my friends, most people are disturbing but I love the ones that I am close to. Neoperception is sensual, validity is a matter of perspective, in the dark there is fear and comfort.

Strooya – Iowa City, IA

….The skinny… …from Croatia to the Midwest… ….a professor and experimental psychologist by day… …electronic music DJ/producer by night… …also sinner, lover, and a fighter…

Optic Mind – Mindoutpsyde, Duluth, MN

Josh Stahnke is a full-time college student at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and has been studying computer science for nearly two years now. Josh quickly went to work spreading Psytrance around his large campus by DJing at small social gatherings and hosting small events in his dorm room. Since then, Josh has begun organizing larger events, utilizing different venues across his campus to introduce a wide variety of students to Psytrance. Even when this young man returns to his family's home in Woodbury, MN, he continues to organize exciting Psytrance events with the support of his parents. Constantly spreading cultural awareness and encouraging uniqueness in others, Optic Mind seeks to open the minds of his audience through his powerful Psytrance and Downtempo DJ sets.

BTsunami – Cedar Rapids, IA

Paul Gutoski – Minneapolis, MN

Mason Dark-Jesus Packard – High Frequency Productions- Minneapolis, MN

Damon Heltzer – Minneapolis, MN

Pistoff – Minneapolis, MN

Luke Busta – Duluth, IA

Vikas Vantaram – Detroit, MI

Lew Hill – Minneapolis, MN

Bankrupt in Panama – Chill

Instead of joining forces to combat the evils of the world today, fight racism, sexism, flip off all the homophobes, and such, we instead, decided to form Bankrupt in Panama. Hoping, of course, that through our music, you will be brought peacefully to the *happy place*, where a bright shiny spotlight will fall upon your head and erase all the messed (edited for content) up stuff (also, edited) you believe in. Most simply, we are an improvised rock/jazz/tripped out/bugged out/stoned out/out out/rocked out/blacked out non-conforming group of *motherfornicators*. We create soundscapes that go beyond the jam, bring you to a climax that could rival your best orgasm, make your mother proud, and your children behave; finally, smoothing it out like melted chocolate licked off every inch of your body.

DigitAlchemy – PsyDM

DigitAlchemy is an amalgamation of Trip-hop, Downtempo, IDM, Ambient, Jazz, and House, performed in an all-improvisational setting. Through the wonders of digital synchronization, Aaron Bjerke (Electric & Classical Guitars, Synths, Bass, Loops) and James Ristvedt (LIVE Beat Programming, Sampling, & Production, Loops) have created a new yet familiar sound that is best described as Psychedelic Dance Music, or PsyDM. By combining polar opposite aspects of musical performance (digital looping/organic instrumental improvisation), the band seeks to serve as a musical vehicle for the audience. The journey may take the listener on a happy walk through a pristine landscape, an inquisitive exploration of the mind, or an eerie trip through deep space all in the same set.

That's what's up so far. 

Also we have ticket sales up and running.  We are limited to 300 guests at this venue, so get your tickets now while they're still available…
