NEXT GIG: Pre-Playa Party Reno Fri Aug 22

Friday, August 22, 8 pm to 6 am

I will be in Reno Friday AND Saturday. So even if you don't make it to the actual party Friday, lets still meet up for our own pre-playa pool party. Rooms at the Grand Sierra Hotel, where the event is held are $50 for all bhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifurners. PLEASE CALL THEM TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS. And make sure they quote you $50.The reservations cannot go through me. If you rsvp'd to me, I have you on my guest list for the party Friday night. Grand Sierra Resort 1-800-501-2651

The event will be held at Nikki Beach (an outdoor venue) and Pearl Ultra Lounge in the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV. They are programming 9 DJ acts which will run from 8pm to 6am. Its a mix of local Reno Djs and San Francisco based DJs. There will be fire performances by Controlled Burn ( a reno fire troop ) and Shiva Vista ( a reno fire based theme camp ). There will be $49 rooms available at GSR for my friends and all burners. There will be designated mutant vehicle parking in the lot.

Reno Passport is producing the first annual Pre Playa Music Festival, featuring performances by the critically acclaimed Reno-based Controlled Burn and Dragonfly Aerials. The party will showcase amazing metal sculptures by Steven Addi of Reno, a Playa Fashion show, and a Mutant Vehicle Exposition area paired with nine of the most talented DJ's in the West.

Are you meeting people in Reno on your way to Burning Man this year? If so, this event provides the perfect meeting place for Burners staging in Reno before the drive out to the playa. The Pre Playa Music Festival will have two elements: the outdoor event at Nikki Beach from 8 pm to 2 am and an after hours Burner Costume Ball at Pearl Champagne Lounge from 2 am to 6 am.

Anasia - An International crunk ambassador, and groove-trotting dancefloor high priestess, the SF DJ weaves an eclectic web of eccentric rhythms, inspired by the sweating her sets evoke. "Lots of low-end love…glitch-infused, bassy & beautiful, global slut psy-hop," she says. Anasia headlines the After Hours Costume Ball in the spectacularly renovated Pearl Champagne Lounge.

Mozaic - Mozaic is a force to be reckoned with on and off the dancefloor. Armed with a resume that includes vocalist, DJ, and producer, the 10-year club veteran turntablist from the SF Bay Area boldly bends genres, merging hip-hop, electro, tech-house, breakbeat, downtempo and dancehall from around the world.

Aaron Jae - Aaron is an SF based DJ who has been tearing it up all across the U.S., dropping his brand of hard-hitting, dirty, nasty breaks. Aaron Jae produces events at the major clubs throughout the Bay Area.

GT - The passion through which Steve Emmerich expresses his urban sensibilities and musical gifts is only exceeded by the euphoria his sets induce. Prepare for GT's high energy breaks, ragga, and dub sound.

Crisis - Reno-based hard house break beat specialist who's adored for his vibe, mix instincts and originally produced music. Crisis has built a awesome rep for showcasing seamless mixes and precise scratching skills.

Nona - Reno-based break beats, drum and bass urbanology, and high nrg bpm's make Nona a fast-rising local with an incredible reputation for hardhouse and scratching.

Jen Woolfe - A Favorite in the Seattle scene, Jen Woolfe began to play for local clubs in early 2003. Jen shows her alt rock roots by fusing dance, rock and nu skool breaks and tinting her style with elegant Electro.

Robb Green – SF mixmaster DJ Robb Green fuses electro with House for a red hot sonic cocktail that moves masses and asses.

Coop da Loop - Imagine unexpectedly hearing your favorite dancefloor tracks–mixed flawlessly–with a genuine exuberance, and reverence that could only come through a committed love of club culture. Picture that and you'll get the feel of Coop's live set. Coop's sets range from reggae, hip hop, breaks, house and world beats. Energy and impeccable taste and timing make Coop arguably the most popular DJ in the Reno underground.

My newest mix creates a buzz

I wanted to share with you some words from a long-time friend and listener about my newest mix, Pilot Dementia which came out back in March.

--- from listener:

Dude,

I'm listing to Pilot Dementia still and just so you know, I am having trouble working because it is totally turning me on. Sexy [mix] Jen. I'm going to go home early and have the best sex ever with [my wife]!! Sorry, too much info huh! :D

Love the track though!

----
Thank you, listener! This totally follows one of my mantra's: 'If you don't go home wanting to f*ck, I haven't done my job.' I thought that was restricted to the dance floor, but its apparently also true in the workplace.

Hear it here.
And if you think that was sexy, try this!
