Experience what enchantment unfolds when a host of conscious creators, ecstatic revelers, and visionary dreamers gather for an all-out, all-night escapade across the Hudson...
From 7pm - 7am, we'll dance and delight in an alchemical fusion of pulsating live world beats, rapturous performance art, consciousness-shifting talks, exotic workshops, multimedia installations, tripped out lounges, mythological creatures, astrological gadgetry, and a variety of mystical shenanigans. Bring drums and hoops, pillows....and let's play.

Plus a late night psytrance party:
with:
Tony Unorthodox (28thday | NYC)
New York City has seen a turnstyle of progressive psy DJs come and go over the years, but Tony Unorthodox has been one of the few constants. His sound is distinct; uniquely refined from a wide spectrum of music, and creatively arranged into a storytale with a psychedelic moral. But most importantly, he always delivers. Seamlessly mixing some of the most original new tracks you've ever heard with premium select cuts from some of the unknown pioneers of the electro wave of the future.
Dharma (psytrance)
SUN FLOWER (Dragontribe/Psy-Burn/Seed)
Kamal will be playing mixed genre psy-set using the latest DJ technology, Many local trancers knew him as Dragonlotus in times of the past. Kamal has not stopped being a force in the psy community among many others for quite some time now. A promoter and DJ of underground electronic music and subculture since 1992 is just one of the many roles he plays. He is currently working on perfecting his sound at his home studio for his live show coming in the not so far future. Being a advent lover of all music and art he is pursuing his dream as a multi-talented artist, while working on his own company Lotus Grafx (www.lotusgrafx.com) ; This summer will be an adventure of festivals like Playa Del Fuego (www.playadlfuego.org) Gaian Mind (www.gaian-mind.com) and Burning Man (www.burningman.com) for this Goa Trance veteran!
DJ L*ement [SeeD] (dubstep/triphop/experimental psy-breaks/jungle *special Albert Hoffman tribute DJ set*)
Prepare yourself for an audio abduction! Defying genre limitation and blending multiple electronical soundscapes, DJ L*ement is known for his highly-energetic sets. With a background in the underground music community for a majority of his life, L*ement incorporates plenty of samples, glitches, bleeps, and noises into the complexity of his bass-driven beats and melodies. Tonight, in honor of the great Dr. Albert Hoffman recent departure from our plane of existence, he will celebrate his life through a set dedicated to the man who invented LSD. Come and feel the music dissect your soul and align your chakras. Surely a set not to be missed!
