after last weeks HIGHLY successful show I am proposing the idea of a monthly or similar residency by the artists of KONVOCATION... we have all been putting a tremendous amount of POSITIVE responses to the promotion/presentation done by buzzlife and Konvocation for the Infected Mushroom show... we have all agreed that this show by far was the BEST event we have experienced in recent times in this area and that Psytrance has finally grounded itself and carved a nice foothold in the local scene! How would we all feel about having a night per month to explore the many branches/sub genres of psytrance in a setting like cubik? This would truly be amazing on a basis of once per month or once every other month- so the scene HERE keeps growing and generating a lot of good flow and energy... I do think that this area deserves a shot at this and I do think the EXPERIENCED promoters at Konvocation could get behind this and REALLY make it happen for us all!

so what do we all think of this suggestion? all in favor PLEASE PLEASE post here!

my friend put on a psytrance CD one time when we drove to philly for a party.

i liked it :kapluto:

but he went on about how psytrance cannot be truly experienced on my car's shit sound system. how i won't know what its like til i hear it "live" so uhhhhh yeah

bring it on :raveon:

i hump the leg of psytrance, and it's scene.

but...if the decor and music was there every week, it would get stale and not be as special, you know?

maybe not a monthly, but once every 2 or 3 months would do quite nice. I'm sure all that decor is NOT cheap.

I definately agree! thats why most likely cyzum would be the best person to ask about how often it could/should be done... Im actually thinking only once per month if more than once every other month... that way the energy would stay nice and fresh... and... its a lot of work putting all of the decor together so konvocation would HAVE to have some down time in between... decor would change every month with the DJs and live acts... keepin it fluid and grand!

I have for the the past year thrown small scale ambient/creative art and musical gatherings every other month- with the exception of these past four months (need vacation mos def)... and I can say it is hard to get it all together in time despite its small scale.. ofcourse Im one woman doing booking, promotion, and deco so it gets tough... there have been a few helpers but not many who dedicate... konvocation is definately in a better place to be doing something a bit larger and I think a steadiness would contribute to the cohesiveness of these nights! and, in general, keep the ball rolling and growing into a huge beautiful monster! YAY!!!

Actually, I agree with this. Our attention spans are slim at best and I think once every few months would ROCK and just give us something to look forward to. Also, I'd imagine a packed club due to that.

seeing as how i'm not really that into psytrance, i would normally be inclined to say no, however in this case i would have to so "why not" cuz it just seems right that a local crew be given that kind of opportunity.

I would like to do a large psytrance night @ Cubik once every other month. That is of course, if the Buzz crew would like us to put it together.

I definitely agree with making it an every other month type of event. People would come out more and it wouldn't get old.

2004-05-20, 10:45 AM
every other month or so would be good. i live with the cyzum and i see the stress he goes through to make everything perfect. lucky for the fans, he goes above and beyond his position as "promoter" and "dj" and takes on any role he has to to get the job done the right way.

he also knows how to rock the dance floor :swoon:

Id be down for that! connecting our tribe is what it should be all about I think... so it makes sense that we try to bridge the gap between the baltimore and the dc tribes... come together... unite... hehehehe... and break on our headz:

:breakdance:

yea, cyzum, it would have to be every other month Im thinking... you would drop dead if you had to work that much every month... or... that show alone would have to pay your bills so that was your focus... and we all know that wont happen from one event per month... well, unless... we are badass like this:

ok, Im scaring myself now... lol, yea...

I'd absolutely love a regular psytrance night at Cubik, and I'd do whatever was in my power to help make it happen. I used to help with decor for Swerve when that was going on, and that was always a good time.

I love it. Nothing moves me even close to what psytrance does.

That field party in MD with the 2 psytrance DJs is going to be tons-o-fun, btw ;)

I wouldn't mind if it was once every couple of months, but I'd hate to lose the smaller events in Baltimore. Nation is often too crowded and too hot, and I can only take so much of it. I like seeing psytrance get notices, but the flipside to that is that it means more people. Mixing up smaller events with Buzz events would be ok though.

2004-05-21, 05:27 PM

Nothing moves me on the floor like some good psy trance.

And judging by konvocations parties so far, we have some SICK local talent.

We need to have Wild Bill back in the area!

I am totally in favor of a bimonthy psytrance event, if the Buzz crew is interested. I had a great time at the party and can't wait for the next one! The Infected Mushroom party proves that D.C. wants psytrance! Also, we're going to make the next one even crazier!!! ;-]

2004-05-23, 11:23 AM
Absofuckinlutely. Konvocation is the most interesting thing to happen to the Baltimore/DC electronic scene in years. Why?

1. Psytrance fucking rules, and it's about time it had a voice in the area.

2. Konvocation have got their shit together, work their asses off, and know exactly what they're doing. Oh yeah—they're also mad talented, and from what I know, Good People.

3. See #1.

I rarely go out to clubs anymore, simply because most of them are boring, but I'd come out to any Konvocation event. A regular psytrance night would be a breath of fresh air in a scene that has become—let's face it—predictable and stale.

What do we need to do to make this happen?

Bullittgrl
2004-05-23, 11:30 AM
I agree.... I know that it's been years now that we've been trying to get a good GOA scene in the DC/Baltimore area. I'm very proud of Konvocation and all their efforts to bring this great music to all of us. Please please please continue to support them. I'm an old fart, almost 30 and don't get out much anymore, but would make the trek once a month for this!!!!!! I mean... GOA is the intelligent techno after all!!!

I think buzz has every right and is smart to do so, just to see if the Astral show goes as well as IM... I personally know that Konvocation will outdue themselves/ourselves and this show will be more amazing than the IM show definately! I think the buzz crew would be smart to pick up a residency that supported very intelligent music like the performers Konvocation wants to bring into the area! There is so much going on in the scene and the DC/Balt area is so far behind in ways... and so overlooked when it comes to true intelligent electronic music... atleast for very large venues like Nation...

I do think the Astral Projection show will take things a step beyond what we saw at cubik last time with IM... I know of a few tricks Konvocation may have up there sleeves... Im not just saying this cause Im a fledgling baby Konvocation crew member... I really MEAN this in all seriousness... I wouldnt waste time with a collective that didnt know what they were doing or where they were headed... Konvocation has my vote all out! utmost professionalism, drive, and mucho inspiration!

the promoters are : subconscious collective, though I only can find info for last summer MAGE... does anyone a link to this years???

for info check this out: http://mnvibe.com/php/event.php?action=view&eventID=752

again this is info for last years production... sounds like a nice homegrown. roots event w/ artist from around the nation...

more info soon... doin my homework for the konvocation crew! :)

cyzum should be proud! I must say, Im enjoying getting to know these cats and every time we talk about events music etc... my inspiration level peaks and I just want to promote and freakin PRODUCE!!!! soooo, all you fans... expect some killa stuff from us in the coming months... thanks cyzum and mind warped and electronkind!!! for.. well.. bending my mind and getting me in the groove of the trance... much respect brothers!

peace out...

might be interesting for some of you to explore

Mhatra
2004-05-27, 05:09 PM
ok someone prove me wrong on this if you can but... from my research I have found that one of subconscious collective promoting collaborators seems now defunct and sub coll is no where to be found online! someone name reaktor produced music for them or was a DJ but I cant find info on him/her either... my belief is that MAGE was last year and is not happenin this year or has not been announced yet for this year- if Im wrong please inform us ok!

mnvibe seems like an ok site but I briefly looked over a forum thread and it was a bunch of people wasting time arguing... BORING... and not very informing at ALL... sooo... I conclude MAGE is a thing of the past but Im definately open to hearing that I AM WRONG... in fact Id be joyous to know this! have info? speak up yo?

*still keeping fingers crossed for that residency* ... I. for one, Im willing to give 110% to bringin some killer shows to DC... dedication is there, inspiration is there, and a fire is burning brightly... we will fight for this and if not at nation... maybe we will buy a place of our own??? you never know what could happen... DC needs a few other intellectually stimulating clubs anyway...Im in no way bashing NATION... this is where we would love to have the residency !!!IN THE MAIN ROOM!!! as we will need mucho control over lighting and atmospherics... and what is a psytrance experience if you can feel that bass throbbing and pounding right out of your chest... or maybe that IS your heart... and no, psy on the patio... no no no... wouldnt work with that spot light now would it? I see breaks or downtempo on the patio to compliment and comtrast the psytrance inside the MAIN ROOM... yea... ok... more cofffeeeeeeeee..... and more research and work. YAY YAY YAY...

*BUZZLIFE HERE OUR PRAYERS* ... LOL... but yea... we want to rock you and you and you and you.... and we CAN... (CAN, I love that band)... lol... ok maybe no more coffee... Im like this but more spastic:

I think there should definitely be more psy/goa parties here. But the summer time will be it's best run I feel, simply because the best dance parties are usually when it's nice out and that meens more people, at least thatz my opinion lol. The infected show was top notch, Cyzum you all did a really good show. I've been waiting for this genre to gain it's acceptance into the best clubs out here and a long time it's been indeed. Aside from the B-more jam's I've never seen a psy party around here. Very well done. Can't wait for more. :bbjohnson: :wave: :bolt:

The Infected Mushroom party proves that D.C. wants psytrance! Also, we're going to make the next one even crazier!!! ;-]I don't know that it necessarily "proves that D.C. wants psytrance!"

playin a little devil's advocate here...

it's my understanding that Infected Mushroom rarely plays the states... While in comparison to other forms of EDM psytrance has a much smaller fan base, those fans are exceptionally dedicated...

Given that, one could hazard a guess that there was a LARGE out of town contingent for the IM night...

If there was to be psytrance happening every month (or even every other month) it would seem that the same level of draw wouldn't be there as people can't constantly take time off and spend the money to come back to DC... where as the occasional one-off party like this and Astral Projection might stand a better chance of recouping that vibe.

I guess what I'm ultimately saying is that I would think if Buzzlife were to have Psytrance on that scale once every month or two, the hype would be much lower. Ultimately the lower hype could bring about the mentality that "psytrance isn't working" and it wouldn't get another chance at the club again.

In a recent interview...


>>
'Psytrance is absolutely huge within dance music now,' says Gavin Herlihy, features editor at Mixmag. 'There have been loads of nights springing up and they are all getting packed. It has come from people travelling to places like Goa, and it is about a hippy culture that more people have tagged on to because they feel alienated about things like the war.'
<<

Psytrance is progressively increasing in volumes of cds sold, and is growing at a rate far greater than that of other EDM genres, which have been seeing steady decline in record sales.

playin a little devil's advocate here...




very valid argument spiggums. although my opinion is biased (and rightly so) in regards to my complete affinity for the psytrance genre, what you said makes alot of sense.

i've seen scenes come and go, either through self-destruction from within, over exposure from too many organisers cashing in on a boon music market, and the drug culture becoming over pervasive in clubs (which i personally blame on 'ignorant association').

at the same time, music genres prevail in scenes due to dedication. what i ultimately feel that the people in this thread are trying to show is that side of the coin (devil's advocate in reverse i guess). reviews from magazine editors are fickle, one time show stoppers can be a fluke, and the whims of the artist all pale in comaprison to the impact of a crowded dancefloor. couple that crowd with a friendly vibe, and a cohesive mindset of temperance and acceptance and you have a force that is to be respected, be you a promoter, club owner, or fan of another genre. that is the premise of the promoters in konvocation.

sure the IM party was big, and sure it may have been due to the large influx of out of towners, but what was ibiza before it became commercially viable? sure the comparison is jilted, but the seed of similarity is there.

the point is, if given the chance to grow here in DC, psytrance would do just that. grow.

ok someone prove me wrong on this if you can but... from my research I have found that one of subconscious collective promoting collaborators seems now defunct and sub coll is no where to be found online! someone name reaktor produced music for them or was a DJ but I cant find info on him/her either... my belief is that MAGE was last year and is not happenin this year or has not been announced yet for this year- if Im wrong please inform us ok!

mnvibe seems like an ok site but I briefly looked over a forum thread and it was a bunch of people wasting time arguing... BORING... and not very informing at ALL... sooo... I conclude MAGE is a thing of the past but Im definately open to hearing that I AM WRONG... in fact Id be joyous to know this! have info? speak up yo?

*still keeping fingers crossed for that residency* ... I. for one, Im willing to give 110% to bringin some killer shows to DC... dedication is there, inspiration is there, and a fire is burning brightly... we will fight for this and if not at nation... maybe we will buy a place of our own??? you never know what could happen... DC needs a few other intellectually stimulating clubs anyway...Im in no way bashing NATION... this is where we would love to have the residency !!!IN THE MAIN ROOM!!! as we will need mucho control over lighting and atmospherics... and what is a psytrance experience if you can feel that bass throbbing and pounding right out of your chest... or maybe that IS your heart... and no, psy on the patio... no no no... wouldnt work with that spot light now would it? I see breaks or downtempo on the patio to compliment and comtrast the psytrance inside the MAIN ROOM... yea... ok... more cofffeeeeeeeee..... and more research and work. YAY YAY YAY...

*BUZZLIFE HERE OUR PRAYERS* ... LOL... but yea... we want to rock you and you and you and you.... and we CAN... (CAN, I love that band)... lol... ok maybe no more coffee... Im like this but more spastic:

:puppydog: :D :puppydog:

I bumped into this from a google alert. I am one of the founders of Subconscious Collective and organizer of MAGE. Incidentally, this stands for Midwest Annual Goa Experience. MAGE 2 IS happening again. Details are on GoaSpirit (http://www.goaspirit.com) . So, I am sorry my friend but it is happening again. The purpose of MAGE is to expose new people to psy and allow some of us that have to travel around the country to experience psy a chance to go to an event closer to home. This is a little side project of mine and the djs but Subconscious Collective has thrown raves for the last 6 years with all kinds of music (our main loves being trance and hardcore though :). The DJs are all donating their time and money (even as far as buying their own plane tickets) to put this event on for 15 hours.

I will try and remember to come back to this website if you have any other questions.

Love & Light,
Jeffz
Subconscious Collective

i would like to bump this post. M.A.G.E. is a worthwhile adventure (yes even into the cornfields of the midwest).... the visuals this year will be phenomenal (www.psymbolic.com) and the vibe is truly kind-hearted, all the way down to the space donated to toss the event (yes eklypz, the barn is now infamous)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS FRIDAY!

I just listened to "Artcore" for the first time, and the hair on the back on my neck was just standing up with anticipation for this weekend. Astrix is gonna TEAR THE ROOF OFF.
This is of course, after Cyzum cracks the foundation.

Nation is going to be left in rubble.
