Thursday, April 30th: Muti Music Takeover w/Dov, Nanda, SeventhSwami

Muti Music is a label that has been consistently pumping out good music in the Bay Area for years. We’re excited to welcome label head Dov with Seventh Swami and Nanda, both of whom have dope recent releases on Muti, on to the bus.

Dov is one of San Francisco’s continual boundary pushers in electronic music having produced music, party nights and distributing music from the vibrant Bay Area music scene since 1996. Founding his own imprint, Muti Music in 2002 and since then making a distinctive mark on the west coast sound. The sounds to be expected from Dov are always elevated and emotional, whether downtempo or peak time uptempo in super-clubs.

SeventhSwami delivers a wide range of musical styles… from downtempo, trip-hop and dub to midtempo, breakbeat and psy. Melodic and beat-oriented… Swami’s music is spiritually uplifiting, original and always thought-provoking.

Nanda typically dips into multiple influences and emerges with something broken in beats and flirting with Dubstep, Grime, Garage, Electro Bass and Downtempo music in genre classifications. The result is something that pushes a few edges technologically and somehow retains a sense of worldliness. In Nanda’s music it’s common to catch samples of Didgeridoo, Ood and ancient chants amongst other strings and organic instrumentation all in tracks that have some of the most crunchy Electro Breaks grooves and the result is an intense ecstatic dance experience waiting to happen.

This will be a night not to be missed!

We meet at The Bus Stop Gallery for check-in at 8pm and our bus leaves promptly at 8:30pm. We return you at Midnight. All our events are 21+ and BYOB. Tickets are $21 and can be purchased through the transportedsf website.

Here For Now… AVAILABLE NOW!

“Muti further solidifies their reputation as a prime west coast outlet for downtempo electronics with this tight release. ‘tornado dreams’ and ‘forever you forever me’ are highlights, with their digitized focus and IDM aesthetic. thanks for sending…” – SHEN / Noah Pred (Native State/GSC)
	With so many modern conveniences it is tempting for us to do as much as we can at any given moment, simply because we CAN. The price to be paid, however, is our own peace of mind. In our effort to stay efficient, we find ourselves in the middle of a time-famine where our modern conveniences and devices have made us more stressed out and overwhelmed than ever. SeventhSwami’s debut album, Here For Now, was created with the intent to help defuse this epidemic of anxiety, overwork, and over-scheduling that is upon us by helping guide people back to the tranquility of the present moment.

What is Stilldream?
Stilldream is something different for everyone. Ask anyone who’s been and they’ll have a hard time coming up with the words to describe what it means to them. For some its the vibe, for some its the music, for some its the people. All we can tell you is, “Its not a party, its an experience. You have to go to understand.” All are accepted with no preconceptions about who you are, because in the end we’re all part of the same family!

Stillgreen?
Staying green has never been more important then it is today!. We have the power, why not use it? As Stilldream works on becoming greener every year, how bout you? Are you green? There’s always room for improvement, nobody is perfect but the idea is to do a little bit better everyday. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse! These are 3 things that can help everyone make this a better world for us all to live in and enjoy! Set goals for yourself, see what kind of difference you can make.

What is the Warm up about?
Since many Stilldreamers live in different areas of California, the west coast and the US. The Warm up Events are a way that we can see each other, catch up with old friends, make some new ones and start the planning, preperations and get those creative juices flowing, we can hit the ground running for the main gathering.

So this is it!
Come join us as we reunite the Stilldream Tribe and get warmed up for this years 9 Year Anniversary. All proceeds go directly into the main gathering coming June 19-21st.

Whoa dude… everything a laptop DJ needs besides drink tickets… all in a 20lb aluminum package?

Price notwithstanding, there are many forseeable pros and cons to a device this specialized. I would love to get my hands on one for a weekend to put it throught the wringer.
