Nadastrom

Nadastrom on April 9, 2016 in San Francisco, CA : Check out house music virtuoso's Nadastrom at VERSO, Saturday April 9th!
The D.C.-born, L.A.-based duo Nadastrom come from different backgrounds, but share a ravenous appetite for extremes. From producing genre bending club anthems to house & techno groovers, Dave and Matt have been praised in the pages of Spin and Rolling Stone, pumped on the airwaves of BBC Radio 1 and NPR, and revered at nightclubs and festivals across the planet.
Nadastrom's sound has never been lacking in creativity. In 2007 when they first signed to Dave "Switch" Taylor's Dubsided imprint, their debut EP "Pussy" immediately rose to the top of the Beatport charts. Along with pioneering the fusion genre Moombahton in 2009, they've remixed, produced and toured with some of the biggest names in music including Skrillex, M.I.A. and Kid Cudi.
In 2010, the duo relocated from their hometown of Washington D.C. to Los Angeles, treading new sonic ground and finding comfort in fresh surroundings. Their adventurous DJ sets and productions landed them regular invites to world-renowned L.A. club institutions such as The Do-Over, Low End Theory, and A Club Called Rhonda. They've even hosted and curated several stages and events for Hard's Day Of The Dead and Holy Ship! festivals.
Nadastrom's most recent output explores a stronger, more refined melodic house sound, while maintaining their original style and influences. This is most notable in their 2015 self-titled debut album on L.A. label Friends Of Friends & Dubsided. During its release, Nadastrom broke the top electronic albums chart on iTunes and was praised in influential media outlets such as Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. LA Weekly called it one of the "Best L.A. Albums of 2015" while Entertainment Weekly described it as "boundary breaking with an unexpected pop edge."

Four Color Zack

Four Color Zack on April 2, 2016 in San Francisco, CA : Join us at VERSO Saturday April 2nd, featuring music by Red Bull Thr3eStyle World Champion Four Color Zack, along with DJ Just!
Four Color Zack is a technically dazzling "DJ's DJ" and pop party rocker at the same (damn) time, deftly cutting between arena shows, Vegas megaclubs and underground parties with style and ease.
With his winning set at the Red Bull Thre3style World Championships in 2012, the Seattle record slinger showed the entire globe what it means to be the best behind the decks, but real heads have known for years that every single FCZ set is a master class on body moving. It's why Fool's Gold presses his party edits to wax, MTV names his mixes amongst the years' best, and LA's Power 106 enlists him to mash it up for their drive-time "jump off" slot... so don't miss out when Four Color Zack comes through to paint your town red.

Lucidity Festival 2016

600-Lucidity-2016-Lineup

Lucidity Festival 2016 on April 8, 2016 in Santa Ynez, CA : Lucidity Festival is back for the 5th chapter of its epic saga of personal and collective transformation. In this year we take a firm look at the chal lenges we face as a people and a planet and arrive with Soulutions... The Crossroads are coming!
The Festival
Lucidity is an open-source transformational arts and music festival. We call it open-source because we co-create this festival experience with YOU! We invite you to come play with us, get involved with one of our seven themed villages, call together your star family, bring art, lead a workshop, spark a spontaneous flash mob, embody a character from your dreams, be silly and wild and free!
When we become lucid in our dreams, we realize ourselves as infinite potential, we let go of fear, and we are free to create that which we want to see in the world. Bring those visions, those possibilities, and that delicious conscious energy with you to Lucidity and wake up in the dream.
Year 5: Crossroads
The second chapter of our collective journey and the fifth installment of our epic saga brings us to this turbulent moment in space and time—the Now of our socio-cultural evolution. We see our global human family entangled in a liminal, transitional zone between what was and what will be. Crossroads is the place between worlds. It is a limbo zone where many of us are confronted by Shadow and a great fear of the unknown. This dark night of the collective soul represents our final push through the oppressive powers of mind control and socioeconomic domination. Having traversed three years of personal discovery, exploration, and realization, and having time-traveled into our past to learn from our tribal elders, we are now standing upon ...read more

Pre-Lucidity Festival Courseweek

600-Lucidity-2016-Lineup-1

Pre-Lucidity Festival Courseweek on April 4, 2016 in Santa Barbara, CA : LUCIDITY FESTIVAL SPEARHEADS PATHWAYS TO ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION!
In its Fifth Year, the Event Offers 3 Day “University” Courseweek Prior to Event SAN TA YNEZ, Calif. – ​Lucidity Festival​, a mainstay in the Santa Barbara region and a trendsetter in the blossoming Southern California music and arts festival community, is entering its fifth year at the Live Oak Campground from April 8 10, 2016. Prior to the event opening to the public, a select group of participants can enroll in the ​Lucidity University Courseweek​, a series of master classes taught by leading instructors from April 4 6th.
The University program is an expansion of an incredibly successful Permaculture Design Certification offered in 2014, where more than 35 students spent the week learning techniques and best practices around designing in harmony with natural ecosystems. That pilot program culminated in a Permaculture Action Day in Santa Barbara where more than 150 volunteers worked on community improvement projects while dancing to the music of The Polish Ambassador and Ayla Nereo.
Lucidity Festival is offering five different realms of study, each designed to appeal to those seeking opportunities outside of the traditional education system, to jumpstart their outlook and creative thinking, and to train students to apply valuable techniques to their career paths.
“We've noticed that traditional education is not for everyone,” said Jonah Haas, Marketing Director for Lucidity Festival LLC. “Many fall through the cracks or don't see a place for themselves in the system. Lucidity, as a “transformational” festival has sought to be a place for people to experiment with new ways of being, to learn new skills, and to experience a set of possibilities that are not typically offered in today's degree ...read more

In this conceit we fail to claim our sovereignty and this experience the enchantment of our lives.
- What will move us from thoughts and imagination into our sentient experience?
- What will move us to experience the immediacy of the Mystery?
What will it take for us to live BOLDLY?
Systemic Constellations are powerful methods for healing and change. If you long for richer sensate experience join Stephen Victor in the Workshop.
