topic posted Fri, June 6, 2008 - 10:55 AM by  Mubali
It's that time of year again, time one more to head up to our favorite
mountain top & dance well past dawn. This year's lineup features a lot
of familiar faces, but a few special guests will be joining us as
always, to bring that wonderful mix of sounds that Straylight parties
are known for. With that being said here is the short version of this
year's line up :

8pm - 9pm : Seventh Swani
9pm - 10pm : Beet Junkey
10pm - 11pm : Arwin
11pm - Midnight : Function Ill
Midnight - 1:15am : DJ Dice
1:15am - 2:30am : Michael Liu
2:30am - 3:45am : Mubali
3:45am - 5am : A Very Special Guest on Earth
5am - 6:15am : Paradigm
6:15am - 7:30am : Machi
7:30am - 9am : Saturnia
9am - Onward : Open Decks

And now the full story of the line up :

Starting at around 8pm & going until 9pm, SEVENTH SWAMI, from Sacramento
will be starting things off with a chilled out Decks & Effects set.
SEVENTH SWAMI represnts the Ambient Mafia, Escape Artists & WantIt
crews. A taste of his music can be found at Ambient Mafia
www.ambientmafia.com/

At 9pm will be Straylight DJ : BEETJUNKEY from Monterey. Some of you may
know him as Kyle the mad accountant, but there's soo much more to this
man. He's been hard at work in the studio tuning up his mixing skills &
you can get a sample of what he he's been working on at Mierdadechongo
www.myspace.com/mierdadechongo

Then at 10pm will be the triumphant return of our good freind ARWIN
after a couple years off ARWIN is back & representing the Iriendao &
Ataraxia crews. More about his music can be found by seaching for him at
Virtual DJ radio.virtualdj.com/home/

At 11pm DJ FUNKTION ILL from San Francisco representing I'll'n'Naughty
Records, will be taking over with some Nasty Funky Electro. A taste of
which can be found at Electroboat www.electroboat.us/

Then at Midnight : DJ DICE, a recent transplant to San Francisco will be
taking over the decks with some of his Heavy Funky Breaks. DJ DICE's
latest mix SAN FRANCISCO SESSIONS VOL.1 can be found at DJ Dice
www.thehothouse.net/straylig...sess1.htm

At 1:15am one of California's favorite DJs, San Jose's MICHAEL LIU from
the Sunkissed Family & Stilldream & Till Dawn Productions crews, will be
taking over with his oh so unique taste in Trance. It's not like he
needs any introduction, but here's a link to find out more about him &
what he's up to these days Sneeky Ninja www.myspace.com/sneekyninja

Then at 2:30am will be the return of Straylight's own Globe Trotting
Superstar DJ & Producer MUBALI. Fresh from his most recent travels, he's
got some incredibly sick new beats to drop on us!!! You can keep up with
his latest adventures & tunes at Mubali mubali.usa.gs/

At 3:45am we have a very special guest DJ performing for us, he's such a
big name that we can't put his name on the lineup for fear of
overloading our spot. But suffice to say that he's known everywhere on
EARTH.

Then at 5am will be the return of our own DJ PARADIGM, now living in
Kansas City. One of the Straylight founders, and now a resident of the
midwest. As well as one of the founders of the Xience crew. His latest
mix can be found at Paradigm
www.thehothouse.net/straylig...index.htm

At 6:15 will be MACHI from Millwaukee, representing the Xience crew. The
leading progressive DJ in the upper midwest, MACHI's fluid style and
smooth mixing is quickly winning him acclaim acrosss the country.

At 7:30 will be SATURNIA from San Francisco representing the CUT Label
Group & the Phoenix Family will be gracing us with one of her special
morning time Psytrance sets. More about SATURNIA can be found at
www.noctilucent.net

[actually I'm planning to play morning melodic progressive with a touch
of funky proggy electro]

At 9am will be OPEN DECKS!!!! Featuring the best of who's still standing
to keep us going till the generator runs out of gas, or we do, whichever
happens first...

Now some things to remember :

Camping is highly encouraged. It's great to get out there before sunset,
as the view is one of the best I've ever seen.

But NO FIRES, as the area that this will be happening at is full of lots
of dry grass that would burn very fast.

Also this is a LEAVE NO TRACE event, so please don't let any garbage hit
the ground, we will have trash bags around. Also if you see anyone drop
something ,please ask them to pick it up. Leaving a trashed party site is
the kind of thing that makes it hard to find more party spots.

Now a bit about the road, it's a very windy road all the way down the
coast, then up the mountain, it's a one lane paved road, once at the top
of the mountain the last 4 miles are on a graded dirt road, but most
cars can
make it down there just fine, unless your car is lowered you should be fine.

    What a great night - the best Straylight event I've been to yet! Thanks to everyone involved. This was a total gem of a party. The music was so good from beginning to end - how rare! Everything else was great too - the weather, the vibes, the view, the peeps... I hope your next events will just be even better and better!
