Earthdance Gippsland is back for 2012 and here is some info about
this years focus..
Addressing this year's theme, all Earthdance events will focus on causes that work to promote gender equality and empower women, while fostering peace and harmony with each other and our Mother Gaia.
Earthdance believes that increasing women's access to quality education, meaningful employment, land and other resources is vital to the sustainable development and evolution of humanity in the 21st century and beyond.
* Women account for two thirds of the 1.4 billion people currently living in extreme poverty.
* Women make up 64 percent of the 774 million illiterate adults in the world. Globally, 77 percent of women are literate, compared to 87 percent of men.
* Across the globe, 70 per cent of the world's poor are women, women earn less than 10 per cent of the world’s wages – but, women do more than two thirds of the world’s work.
* On average women reinvest 90 per cent of their income into their families while men invest only 30-40 per cent.
Impacting local change on a global scale, each official Earthdance event donates at least 50% of its profit to a local charity. Last year, the Earthdance Global Festival for Peace benefited over 75 international charities for peace, sustainability, and/or social justice. As Earthdance events continue to grow each year, more and more local organizations are gaining traction and exposure in their communities.

Here is the Lineup:
Namarrkon
Namarrkon is the project of Brian Winter and the storm spirit sacred to the people of Arnhem Land. After sifting through many genres of music Brian’s hunger was finally satisfied when he was introduced to the sweet sounds of psychedelica at the start of millennia. With this his creative musical journey began, drawing inspiration from great artists such as Logic Bomb, Fatali and Protoculture. When producing music Brian feels connected to the land. He draws from the vibrations of the earth creating vast dynamics like that of a storm. The calm, the swelling of the clouds, then moving through the forces of nature; wind, thunder, lightning and rain and finally the feeling of cleansing & rebirth after it has passed. This project is a musical journey into the spaciousness of a sonic soundscape, creating a smooth driving flow, with combinations of many colours and textures. It’s an exploration of how sounds harmonize and react in complex rhythms and patterning. It could best be describes as complexity within subtlety. Namarrkon is sure to get your booty shaking and hopefully a smile aswell.

Doc Fil (Sundance)
Since 2000 dr Fil has been busy playing at and throwing sick trance parties along the east coast of Australia. His style is distinguished and exhibits a slight fondness for epic piano tracks. Fil claims to be able to set up and pack up a wicked party quicker than any other geezer out there. Where top gear has The Stig, Australia has Doc Fil on the decks; he once played a 27 hour set when a plane full of international artists got lost in a volcanic ash cloud. The Doctor is said to own 368 baseball caps; this has yet to be proven. Djing in bars, cafes, clubs and bush parties for more than a decade. The Doc has played varied styles of electronic music from deep house, drum and bass to trance. In 2006 Fil started playing for one of the worlds earliest and longest running underground trance labels (SunDance)and now recently joined with the team at TesseracT studios. The Doc is excited to be able to showcase this uplifting, powerful, melodic trance to all the dancers on the floor.

Trolley
Also known as Trolley, Wayne has been involved with Melbourne's psychedelic trance community for over ten years. In that time he's performed at many events including Earthcore, Tribeadelic, Rainbow Serpent Festival, Royal Doof, Alien Earth, Imajica, and countless others... Although he's tried to give away the game several times, his love of music keeps drawing him back, and over the past couple of years he's developed a style and a collection of music that is unique. All the best elements of psychedelic and progressive trance make Wayne's sets a convergence of genres that are super-charged and super-funky at the same time...
Get ready for an unforgettable dance floor experience.

Sorceress
SORCERESS plays a range of electronic beats, featuring styles such as progressive/tech house, tribal progressive trance, and just damn good techno………. With her roots deeply seeded in trance & house however, and a mixing journey that began in year 2000, there will often be the driving sound of the Swedish Nord Lead heard throughout her sets fused with new progressive rhythms and analogue synth melodies. Her prog house & trance sound fusion is best described by European influence and musical mentor, Peter Juergens as straight “progressive.” With this classy style themed throughout her act, be sure to hear plenty of deep driving bass lines, clicky rhythms, and inspiring melodies with an up beat progressive flow to suit day or night. May the Sorceress be with you!

Deutronium (Lucid Realms)
Dave Deutronium has a distinct sound that is lush, melodic and uplifting, across a broad tempo range. His sets are all about illustrating the difference that exists between two terms that are often (and unfairly) used interchangeably - ‘melodic’ and ‘cheese’. No cheese here – just contemporary, melodic and chunky psy and progressive at its finest
Mindhertz
Mindhertz is Dan from the Yarra Valley in Victoria.
He was first introduced into the Psy Community in 2002 and was instantly hooked by the outdoor sound. Two years later, he began DJ'ing and after mastering the decks he wanted more. In 2005 he started writing his own brand of slamming full on 150 bpm melodic psy/goa trance under the name Mindhertz .
In 2005, Dan co-founded PsyEvolutions with his little bro Jubz and began running outdoor and club events in and around Melbourne
PsyEvolutions is dedicated to supporting Australia's very own Local talent mainly focusing on live electronic music and are responsible for events such as, Local produce, Free noise, Roket and Gateways to name a few. Dan has played LIVE outdoor sets alongside world renowned artists such as Shift, Twisted System, Andromeda, Headroom, Dark Nebula, Luke Psywalker, Artifakt and Broken Toy

Roger Ramjet - Lucid Realms
Separated from the rest of the crew after the starship crashed when the improbability drive failed, he's been DJing in tapas bars, seedy clubs, dirty warehouse and wild bush parties for more than two decades. He's been crusading since '89 infiltrating the National Capital's underground, bringing The Prodigy to town to play with, pioneering the foundations for the future through club nights Voodoo, RAW and Smile, and the Experience Parties. Adelaide was goaled for a night, Peace Train came to town, and then came the metamorphosis production "Rave Nation". There were rumours of his assimilation of Coffs Harbour, before he sabotaged Byron Bay and Brisbane. Down over the rough waters of Bass Straight Launceston was captured, and Sydney was broadcast around the globe. He can still be heard on rare occasions on www.housefreaks.com playing it old skool. There's word of an adventure to London after the End of the World. With his needles and ancient black plastique, a well known black box, and the wheels of steel he eminates deep froody minimal beats, with elements of techno and trance in sets of groovy waves that climb to crescendos and drop away to smooth breaks, and interwoven warm basslines with bright brassy sounds, sweeping vocals and atmospheric sound clouds mashed with sweet keys.

Cpt Shiner
At the fuzziest end of the sonic spectrum, where reverb starts to melt into delay and leaves sticky crystalline deposits on the insides of speaker cones, you'll find Captain Shiner. Combining a misty-eyed love of sounds past with a seventh-gear fascination with sounds future, Shiner fuses music without taxonomy and threads a groove united by one core principle: psychedelia. As a long-time as-good-as-resident at Tribeadelic, he's been solidly at the centre of the Melbourne psychedelic scene since many of us were still in short trousers, including a period at the helm of the legendary Monkey Island. Officially "too weird to play in Malta", Captain Shiner brings to the table a passion for contained melody with a wide, expansive journey from start to finish.
Dr Quinn
Originally from Darwin NT, Quinn has been composing original music since the age of 14, having since played various instruments, she has recently developed a soft spot for electronic music. Now based in melbourne. She's been producing for the past two years, and has focussed on creating psychedelic electronica. Quinn's set compiles of her own tracks, highly approved tracks, samples collected from various sources and loops. Between, Dark and Melodic, whether its fast or slow, her music always aims for suspense and intrigue
