28thday presents Psynoptic Shift
“It is winter proper; the cold weather, such as it is, has
come to stay. I bloom indoors like a forced forsythia;
I come in to come out.” --Annie Dillard

old-fashioned psychedelic loft party, this time at a

Musical lineup:
REEFER DECREE - LIVE (Iboga, Denmark)
Many of you remember stomping wild and barefoot to Oliver's
beautifully funky DJ set at our Prog in the Park event last
summer. There's still a little while to go before we'll all
be back out under the warm sun, but don't be surprised if
you break a sweat tonight grooving to Reefer Decree's live
set -- extended to 1.5 hours so Oliver can share with us
some "crispy new material".
IBOJIMA - LIVE + DJ (Yellow Sunshine Explosion, Sweden)
Swedish trance duo Mathias (dj Molly Kulator) Andersson and
Magnus Holte were recognized by Israeli artist Safi
Connection, who helped record their first track 'Awakening
Of Dawn'. Ibojima's second release 'Apollo Project' became
a blasting dance-floor hit, and together with last release
'Higher Energy' made Ibojima a big name worldwide. Since
last year's album release 'Morning Glory' on YSE, which
added a crunchy twist to their sound, Ibojima has been
booked solid for live performances worldwide. Most recently
touring with trance legend Hux-Flux, this will be Mathias'
flagship United States appearance.
CHRISTER
(Limboland | Shiva Space Technology | Mechanik, Germany)
Christer is a label DJ for two important labels: Shiva
Space Technology and Mechanik Records. He's also one of
those old-style DJs, the rare kind that tries to tell a
story from behind the mixer instead of just playing the
latest unreleaseds. His first true epiphany came in the
shape and form of the album "Return to the Source - The
Chakra Journey", which drove his interest for music even
further down the electronic spiral highway. Since then
Christer has provided the audience with a wide and exciting
range of psychedelic trance, with one main intention:
to make people dance. As Christer exclaims, "Psychedelic
music is pure energy and raw spirituality - I play it
because I love it, unconditionally."
DAVE HENSHAW (Sonic Beating, Boston)
It's sometimes difficult to find Dave at a party because he prefers to maintain a low profile
guarding the parking lot, checking Red Sox scores, or chilling in the back corner of the dance floor;
but once you do find him behind the decks, you will realize that he is one of the most profound progressive
DJs in North America.
AMMON EP (Sonic Beating | Soul Trance, Boston)
This brilliant musician has been spinning psy in Bostonfor almost 10 years. His skills run deep: Ammon performed
at the last Gaian Mind festival, and also ran the main sound system at this event. He's part of the classical/world beat
band Copal, and the owner of Soul Trance records. Tonight Ammon will showcase his talents in the progressive-psy department.
LAURYN (Peak Records | 28thday, NYC)
Peak Records label DJ and 28thday resident, Lauryn has been busy rocking
parties and festivals at various locations within the United States, Canada,
and Europe. She's known for her energetic, nighttime, funky full-on, delic
sets. Tonight we welcome Lauryn home to her first 28thday appearance since relocating to NYC!
TONY UNORTHODOX (28thday, NYC)
There is a new movement in electronic music happening overseas, a new wave of electro-infused trance music that combines the best elements of prog, electro, techno and psytrance into a sound that is much more powerful and groovy than your standard progressive psy. Unfortunately this exciting and highly danceable new frontier has largely gone under the radar in New York, and Tony has made it his personal mission to fix that.
Tony Unorthodox is one of the cogs that make the 28thday wheel spin, and is also one of NYC's longest active
prog/psy DJs. Through his tenure as a local DJ and various appearances, he has become a staple in today's "nyc trancers" musical diet. Handing out hundreds of free CDs including last year's "Summer Mix '06", he has always been an endless resource for good new music, and tonight will be no different; along with a DJ set of hot new unheard-of tunes, he will be handing out hundreds of copies of his spankin' new '07 mix, free for all in attendance. Don't miss out!
Visionary projections by Spot (Spotworks, NYC)

www.electricsheep.org
VJ and software artist Spot (aka Scott Draves) has recently wowed
audiences at CoSM's Entheocentic Salon events, performing special
extra-high-fidelity renderings of visuals that have been communally evolved and selected
from his well-known electricsheep screen saver.
"...he provides not only mind-blowing hardcore psychedelics, but also a visual
theory of evolution ... the intricacy and artistry of Draves' work is
something that will delight both sets of NASA enthusiasts — those who work for the
governmental space organization and the others who reminisce about the legendary New York party." -- Earplug
