GRAVE 1NF3KT3D
A Zombie Experience

en.wikipedia.org
The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage (and others) living in the United States and Canada. The celebration occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November, in connection with the Catholic holy days of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day which take place on those days. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased, and using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. Observance of the holiday in Mexican-American communities in the United States has become more important and widespread as the community grows numerically and economically. Mexican-style Day of the Dead festivities have spread around the world, including to Europe and New Zealand.


Due to another undisclosed engagement by the artist , Zombie Girl will not be
appearing at this event. This is out of my control and I appreciate your
understanding.

Due to another undisclosed engagement by the artist, DJ Poss will be DJing another event in Phoenix the same night and will not be appearing at this show. It is a conflict of interest and is out of my control. I again appreciate your understanding.


ILLEKTROLAB - Satamile records/Advanced Robotiks:::::
Back From England

Beat junkie, producer and dj who has been moving minds galaxy wide for well over the past decade with his unique blend of dark sci-fi robot infected electro sounds for the dance floor. Being influenced by the early days of electro, breakdancing, hip hop, graff, and broken beat music such as Kraftwerk, Chakka khan, Newcleus, Styx, Egyptian Lover, Midnight Star, Lisa Lisa, Run DMC, Afrikka Bambatta, Edie Grant, Kurtis Blow, and many more talented artists.

In 1995 he purchased his first set of turntables self teaching the tactics and skills he would later use to rock party people on the dance floor world wide. Weekends soon became forest and full moon parties with beats and freaks dancing under the stars in the very beautifull northern Arizona countryside. In 1996 he moved to London to pursue his dreams of production and become submerged in the UKs underground electronic dance culture and music scene. While living in the UK he performed at his first massive event called World of Dance in Aug of 1996 under the name Neon Beat batteling the Psyconauts along side the bassest from Massive Attack and Big Darren, plus several smaller events and happenings in UK/EU area. Living across the street from the legendary Blue note club in Hoxton square near Old Street he was hitting some of the first of the METALHEADZ nights, FABRIC, the End, and many other underground events collecting inspiration and ideas to create urban influenced, BASSheavy electro robotik sounds geared towards the dance floor. Through a good friend he later met a couple of guys who were working on a little bedroom label at the time. They asked for some scratching over some of the projects they were working on. This label later became one of the most prominent breakbeat labels in the world now known as Finger lickin records. They released Soul of Man, Finger lickins first release, then soon after Finger lickin vol 1 Dj tool record bothe featuring ILLEKTROLAB scratching.

Djing under the name djl3go for the first part of his career he quickly made a name for himself on the underground rave/club circuit with his fluid scratching and mixing abilities plus playing free parties around various parts of the world passing out loads of demos to the beat junkies. In the year 2000 he was forced to change his name due to the L3GO toy corporation threatening him with a law suit. The decision was then made to activate his alter ego ILLEKTROLAB and spread the robot music to all open ears and minds possible. Since then he has performed on bills with many of the most influential and well known artists in the hip hop, electronic dance and uderground music scene such as Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy Jeff, Afrikka Bambatta, Kurtis Blow, Goldy, Perry Farrell of Janes Addiction, Lady Kier of D lite, Dj Craze, Massive Attack, Dynamix, Rabbit in the Moon, Dj Icey, Jackal
and Hyde, Rhazel etc....... (A more detailed list can be viewed below)

ILLEKTROLABS high energy performances, scratching, and darker style of production are known to move the crowd and tantilize the senses into a sonik assault of electromechanical madness. With the launch of his own label ADVANCED ROBOTIKS in 2008, (ADRO 01). A slamming release on Satamile records (SAT39) 2007, and a very impressive aresenal of unreleased tracks in his vault the future is looking very bassheavy and energized for the illektrokadet and his robot uprising. The sounds are spreading to every corner of the globe like an uncontrollable yet programmed sonik virus. During his explosive dj/live PA performances ILLEKTROLAB feeds off the music he plays and then projects that energy and adrenaline straight into the crowd creating a direct connection with the party people travelling with them on their galactic space journey into sound. Ask anyone thats seen an ILLEKTROLAB performance and its the same story in any language. The energy is unbelieveable.The sounds are dark, heavy, and thought provoking with ground quaking deep bass along twisted driving acidic synth lines. Best heard on an ear bleeding wall of bass!!

The bottom line is that ILLEKTROLABS music is unparalleled, beat junkies and BASS freaks galaxy wide just keep asking for more. His style is unorthodox, yet crowds keep lining up to catch the vibe of his unique and futuristic robot sounding beeps and bleeps, all sequenced together with a certain mathmatical movement to make the bones vibrate and the body girate. Many try to imitate while ILLEKTROLAB originates. His sound is all his own, ROBOTIK, bassheavy, laced with attitude - and moving minds planetary.

TUNE into the ILLEKTROLAB frequencies !!

Mankind is Obsolete

When people who haven't heard of Mankind is Obsolete ask for a description of what they sound like, things get tricky. The super short description would be Coldwave, since their sound fits better with bands like 16 Volt, Luxt, and Christ Analogue than any other genre. Songs like "Parasite" and "Trapped Inside" spit, growl, and drag you through the cataclysmic heavy fallout world that this band thrives in. But the second they're placed in that category, lead singer Natasha will belt out soft lilting vocals on a song like "Troubled Dreams" or the band will pull back their heavy exterior for a more acoustic close and personal song like "Fading" and suddenly that label falls apart. This multifaceted sound is readily apparent on Mankind is Obsolete's newest release entitled "Trapped Inside". Produced by the immensely talented Sylvia Massy and Jim Wood, "Trapped Inside" is the bands biggest accomplishment to date and also stands out as being their first fully collaborative cd. In order to describe their sound it's important to know the people that create the aural firework display that's rises, falls, and explodes when you least expect it.

The Strand!

The band does not take the conventional techno approach when bringing the music to a live scenario. Instead, a majority of the music is performed live with a drummer, four keyboardists, male and female vocals. If you have not seen a live performance by The Strand, it is really something to consider checking out. Six quirky friends band together to bring you fun, dancy, riff driven industrial music. Since their inception in 1999, The Strand has produced three full length CDs, and received massive acclaim from promoters, journalists, and fans across the globe with their catchy, aggressive hits. Their music gets airplay in numerous gothic and industrial clubs worldwide and has appeared in a variety of magazines, websites, and independent movies. Featured on four nationally distributed compilations, they have launched from being a small home-based production into the ears and eyes of industrial fans across the globe.

Forsaken Is Dead

Forsaken is Dead has been playing throughout the Arizona desert since 1998. His DJ sets range from Hard Techno, Industrial Hardcore to Darkcore and Terror. Forsaken is Dead started producing in 2000 and in 2005 he saw his first vinyl release on Meta4. In the next two years Forsaken is Dead started "Six Feet Underground Records" with K.O.R.E as well as having releases on labels such as Meta4, Apocalypse, USR, and Six Feet Underground. In 2008 Forsaken is Dead has plans to release music with several labels as well as continuing to build Six Feet Underground.

SANG.RÆL

SANG.RÆL's unique industrial-electronic sound can be attributed to the vision of Nikolas Phrasavath. Conceived in 1998, the project has been evolving and forming to what it is today. Heavy electronic influences topped with raw, harsh vocals give listeners something to reflect on as the lyrical content is thought-provoking and confident. With popular tracks like "A Brighter Day" and "The Blue," SANG.RÆL doesn't fail to show its diversity. While songs like "This Moment" and the ever-so-naughty "Inside (of You)" will keep the dance-floors happy.

This is a true concert experience that involves the audience, complete with black and white zombie visuals.
