The flowers are blooming once again and the sun has begun shining over what looks to be a gorgeous oncoming spring and summer.
And as we have for the last many years, in May, we come out of the city and away our gasoline heaters to celebrate the spring in the Oregon forest.
In the past, we have gathered on the full moon, but due to the full moon being on the same date as the Goa Gil Meltdown, we have pushed the date forward a week to allow our trancey brethren and sistren to journey down if they please.
..o..The Natural LandscapE..o..
For those who have not yet been to the May Moon Spot, you are in for a treat*! For those that know the spot, we ask that you keep it your little secret for awhile, i will tell you more about this later*...
Camping is available---no---UTTERLY RECOMMENDED,
The sleeping and dancefloor is padded and wonderful beach sand, molding to your body and feet as you sleep and dance, and you should really spend as much time in this spot as possible. Please bring food and water and all the yada's you need to stay in the woods for as long as you will be there.
..o..The Musical LandscapE..o..
..Axis Mundi..
our guest for the evening, is coming to play a set of all original music for us. He is from Asheville, North Carolina. Around the time of this event (and hopefully in time for it), he will be releasing a full length album. His music is hard to describe, it really gets into your head. Tempo shifts like waves and reminiscent sounds interwoven with psychedelic movements and a really foresty echo.
..Adi..
is another guest of ours for this fine evening. Adi will be visiting from India just to play with us and hang out in the studio in the off times. It is a great pleasure to bring him out. His music has range from dark psy to acid music and beyond, with a refined style to boot! Let's all give a BIG BOOOOOM to our Indian guest and welcome him for the first time to the beautiful woods that we all call home.
..Goa Constrictor..
of ChickenHed and FABULOUS! Radio, will also be joining us to play from his vast collection of curiosity. Adam'n has been a bone in the spine of the music scene here for many many years, as well as lending and creating some of the most interesting web content viewed by man.
..Gorilladust..
owner and fearless leader/prankster of NW-Psy.com.
This guy brings a style so smooth that you would think your ears were drinking a Jamba Juice filled with cool-berries. Expect to feel a little more awesome just listening to his tunes, and make sure to bring your sunglasses, cuz the sun will be shining through his thick sonic smoothie!
..Punk Baba..
dared to be the first surfer-haired psytrancer in the pacific northwest, and though not too many followed suit, the statement was strong, and it was very real. He doesn't have the hair anymore, but the statement still stands... Don't mess with the Baba. Tunes so powerful as to draw the MAN on a Halloween night in the middle of nowhere. Get ready to shake your money maker on the fine sands of the mountain!
..Button Pushers..
Oregon's best kept secret, cuz the group didn't exist until about a week ago! Button Pushers is formerly Quantize Mechanics, Squee and Manifest. They will be bringing a full power tag team dj set of their favorite flavors of fast and intense psychedelic trance, and beckoning the sun to peak its starry orb over the dawny landscape.
..Broos..
Cap'n Weird Beard is back with his mellow, high-inducing style of trippy beats and sounds. He has kept our bellies full of food and our brains swimming in dub at many a party, and today, he brings out a new set of psychedelic downbeats that are sure to ease us into a long and beautiful night with stoney eyes and a warm heart.
..Zoopy..
carrying the torch of surfer-hair in psytrance, Zoopy has been hermitted in an obscure and mostly unknown village they call Eugene, OR. In between his periodic sarcastic posts and wandering through the woods building his empire of midget porn memorabilia, he has found the time to make some pretty kick-ass music. An avid listener and collector as well, he will undoubtedly be bringing us some tasty morsels.
..Makoi..
is the M in MAN. With his witty banter and all-around-good-guy-ed-ness, he has buttered us all into loving him with every bit of our hearts, like Elvis with fried chicken, smothered in butter. Amazingly enough, this is how his music really should be described as well... like fried chicken smothered in butter. And while you are pondering if that is good or not, just know, IT IS, but don't go eating it, just come taste it with your ears!
..Blue Spectral Monkey..
between massaging hot ass ladies and looking damn good doing it, he is traveling around the country playing smooth tunes, and massaging overweight men. It's not that strange, he is the Psychedelic LMT of the greater Portland area, and will be rubbing us with his tunes WHILE giving actual therapeutic massages behind the decks. It's really a wonder to watch!
..o..*The CatcH..o..
Due to the PARKING SITUATION at the location, we have a few silly schemes planned. We would like to ensure that the folks that come to the party last minute bring as many people as they can, AND we much prefer it if y'all would pre-plan to go to this party and pre-purchase a pre-sale ticket........
...therefore....
We will be selling presales at the heinously low price of 11$!
The people that arrive at the party without a presale, however, will be asked to pay 55$ per carload.
Thusly, if you come late, you can pay the same by packing your car, saving gas and parking, WIN WIN!
.......so.......
Get a Pre-Sale!!!
Presales will be purchased in several ways... through paypal, at:
squee.isme@hotmail.com
they will also be available at several events around the city between now and the event, and at ACME coffee shop, in SE Portland.
ACME Coffee Shop
1431 SE 40th Ave
Portland, OR 97214
..o..The ReCaP..o..
11$ Presales
55$ Per Carload Day of the event
...oh and...
Bring something to add to the altar or location
and feel a part of the gathering in any way you feel comfortable.
We can't wait to dance outside again!!!

AXIS MUNDI WILL BE RELEASING HIS DEBUT ALBUM ON YOUR USA'S VERY OWN ANOMALISTIC RECORDS. HERE'S A WRITE UP OF HIS ALBUM, AND HIM AS AN ARTIST.
DON'T SLEEP! BLAST OF PDX! LOVE YOU GUYS!
"Axis Mundi - One Foot In Fantasy"
This is the debut album of American musical project Axis Mundi. Having been increasingly immersed into the psychedelic trance environment for over ten years, it has been the culmination of a long-term goal for this work to be released. It represents a story of the personal life journey and the events of which have greatly contributed to where he is today, and where he is moving towards. With a basis in the music which Axis loves most, psychedelic trance, the sounds quickly branch off into other representations and influences, combining suomi and high-psychedelic trance formulas with IDM, Glitch, Breakbeat, and Gabber structures, as well as musical theory hailing from Eastern European gypsies, to the Middle and Far East. The album title reflects Axis Mundi's personal world outlook and the mood he attempts to achieve in his music, which is one of being caught between the cold, raw mysteries of the scientific and the mathematical, and the lush, colorful, ephemeral worlds of imagination and possibility, where the seeds of dreams are formed.
The Tracks
Axis wrote this album with experimentation and a drive to create an album that was as much a mental journey, a unique piece of art to listen to, as something specifically "for the dancefloor". The result is that the music never stays static for long. Abstract drum sequences collude with plethoras of tempo and time signature maneuvers, building in either order or chaos and punctuated by hanging, unpredictable breakdowns. Each track contains multiple individual soundscapes bordered by transitions which at times lull you gently and at others shove you violently into a new structure of sonic reality.
"One Foot In Fantasy" is as much a deviation from as it is a celebration of a sound which has driven and inspired Axis for over a decade. For those expecting a more mainstream, formulaic sound, this work may not be for you, but if you are one who constantly seeks out and appreciates new sorts of sound which attempt to bend and skirt the rules, this album will be perfect for you. These sounds have been described by Axis' peers as "no longer trance", "a new kind of animal", "very new and technical ideas with solid math", "furious meets squarepusher", "contemporary, unique, and beautiful", and our personal favorite, "it really kicks ass, you should hear it!""

check out that river, rocks, trees, sandy dancefloor, big ass fire with no crazy dogma burning in it, just wood,
lots of shady camping, lots of amazing people, food sharing and sound bouncing off everything making it shiney
these pictures exemplify in my mind the family vibe, humour, spirit, and devoted community here.

I gots my presales! So excited to be outdoors again with sand between me toes and warm rocks in the sun.
Tho, last year I tried to heat up a burrito on one of those rocks and it didn't work so well. 
Mmmm... camp burrito. <drool>
