The Chilluminati Present, in our 6th year:

Karmaclysm Open-Air 2011 – August 26, 27, 28

Northwest Wisconsin, Near Black River Falls

Playing Psychedelic Downtempo, Old School Goa, and Psychedelic Trance

// OUR VISION

This is the second of two weekend-long camping festivals the Chilluminati will be creating in Northwest Wisconsin in 2011, brought to life with consciousness, harmony, mind-expanding music, and visuals. We create these events as Cosmic Condensates; our Music, Dance, Light, and Love form a sacred structure in Space and Time… a microcosmic celebration of the Infinite. We invite all to come dance, relax, and explore under the sun, moon, and stars for three days and two nights with indoor and outdoor stages in the beautiful, wooded, midwest summer.

WE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound and light, 3 days of camping in a beautiful natural environment (rain or shine), running water, bathrooms and hot showers, full vending (including alcohol for those 21+)

YOU PROVIDE: a tent, enough food and beverages for the weekend (or some cash – food and beverages will be available for sale)
NO GLASS, NO PETS, NO FIREWOOD (firewood can be purchased on-site).

Please respect the venue by keeping the grounds free of litter.

**This is a LEAVE NO TRACE EVENT**

Become part of the community. Help the planet, and help us. Pick up after yourself. Leave the site, and our reputation as a community, better than you found it.

Aes Dana– Ultimae Records – Lyon, France // LIVE

Aes Dana was born from the meeting of Vincent Villuis, former member of goa chill band Asura, and Sunbeam (aka Mahiane) who spins english progressive vinyls, Aes Dana stands as a coherent fusion of both styles.

They bring out deep sounds rooted in the psychedelic tradition, in a fluid down tempo morning trance. Both musicans tend to create evocative sound textures, opening as a traveling over their analogical dreams. Short tales made of samples and waves, energised by tribal beats. Soundtrack for the early party letting time for the moon and the tempo to set, or for afters to slow down the nocturnal excesses and celebrate the return of the Sun. Aes dana’s music is to be enjoyed between the veils.

Solar Fields– Ultimae Records – Gothenburg, Sweden // LIVE

Swedish based electronic music composer and graphic designer who as been involved in many projects since a teenager, playing drums, percussions, piano, guitar, for various bands before launching his own project Solar Fields in 2001 with the album “Reflective Frequencies”. Magnus always built a unique sound universe, poles apart from current trends in the genre, he explores the wide possibilities of electronic ambient; atmospheric, deep, ecstatic, industrial yet organic, cultivating contrasts and subtelty with brio.

As a “high tech” sound designer (sampling, sequencing, morphing, programming,…) and multi-instrumentalist, Magnus collaborated with several art galleries and museum, his latest sound installation at Trabekel (Sandviken, spring 2004) met a great success. In synchronisation to the work of pictural artist Antonio Sognasoldi, he presented four pieces which could be played simultaneously and evolve depending on the position of the visitor in the gallery.

In November 2005 were released [ Leaving Home ] and [ Extended ], the later being a limited edition. These two albums are receiving excellent comments from the media, opening new horizons for Magnus Birgersson and his true visionary work.

In 2007 he began composing a stunning in-game score for Mirror’s Edge, Electronic Arts (EA) and DICE, a new first-person action adventure game released worldwide on 14th November 2008. From the start praised to be “Poetry in motion” and one of the most exciting and innovative game, Mirror’s Edge also promises to be a sonic treat for all PC, PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox360 addicts.
miKroNaught – AtmoWorks – Chicago, Illinois // LIVE

miKroNaught is the collective work of artists Vir Unis & MjDawn.

On his first two CDs Strate explores his passion for experimental sound sculpting while demostrating his talent for creating modern rhythms on the later. Vir Unis has also collaborated with Steve Roach on Body Electric and Blood Machine.

Mudvayne has enjoyed international acclaim with three gold albums, an MTV award and a Grammy nomination. He is the drummer and contributing writer/co-producer of Mudvayne along with the bands other three members. His early electronic music efforts can be heard on several Mudvayne releases. He composed, recorded, mixed and mastered the electronic interludes on the album “L.D.50” and the mixed piece “L.D.50” on the album “The Beginning Of All Things To End.”

Phidelity, a.k.a.

A master of the science of slicing and dicing, Phidelity’s tech funk is loaded up with tons of real-time effects, creating an experience that uses the science of sound creation. Hailing from Portland and representing Native State Records, his dub-laced sticky bass is overlaid with plenty of clean green grit and the moving goodness of his world is imposed on all who listen and dance- robots included.

Nick Synergy – Overmind Works – Phoenix, AZ

Nick Synergy hails from the southern midwest. After some experience as a mainstream DJ, he caught the techno bug in 1992, ironically from the radio. The newfound rave culture also fascinated him, and thus he became increasingly absorbed by DJing and electronic music. He began beatmatching in 1995 and has been immersed in many facets of underground dance culture ever since.

He’s a bit of an idealist, but something of a realist. He has a benevolent nature and brings a solid work ethic to creating and promoting events. Gravitating toward the funky, groovy, and progressive sides of electronic music, the dynamic vibe this man carries is best demonstrated by the music he plays.
