Live P.A.
- Loud ~ Compact/Dooflex/Translucent/Divine Balance/dbsonic [Israel]

- LOUD (Kobi Toledano and Eitan Raiter, located in the city of Haifa Israel) were both infected by the psytrance bug and movement back in the mid-nineties. While both were travelling and experiencing global psychedelic culture, the two cosmically met and LOUD was born. LOUD is definitely one of the finest new breeds of Psychedelic Trance producers with a significant and daring new sound, fresh and powerful, always seeking to expand their knowledge and results. LOUD have licensed many tracks, to be featured on labels such as: Trancelucent, Doof Records, Skykey Records, and Divine Balance Records. Their full-length album will be coming out soon on Compact Records.
- Onnomon ~ Soular Records/Divine Balance/dbsonic [Pennsylvania]

- ONNOMON is rapidly emerging as one of the top psytrance producers in the world. His recent album, “No Monno” was referred to as “An utterly smashing surprise…” on psyreviews.com. He’s had releases on countless labels and recently returned from touring in Israel. His unique style is not to be missed!
- Androcell ~ Celestial Dragon [Arizona]

- With his new second album "Efflorescence" just coming out on Celestial Dragon Records, musician and artist Tyler Smith, aka Quasga, will navigate a psychedelic night-time landscape anchored in dub and integrate organic and electronic sounds. Warm melodies are diversified against a framework of intricate rhythms and arching harmonies. Unique spoken samples are incorporated seamlessly and used with clear intent. Interstitial atmospheric sounds provide for a continuous listening experience.
- Bodhisattva 13:20 ~ Geomagnetic.tv/Divine Balance/dbsonic [California]

- Coming out of the dark desert scene Bodhi shares a bit of sacred magic as he twists your mind with new and unheard complex frequency function combinations. He is an award-winning electronic musician with releases on such labels as Truffle, Trishula, Psybertribe, Vertigo and coming soon on Geomagnetic/Darkstar Records will be his highly anticipated 2nd album "Secrets of the Mojave".
- Convolution Integral ~ www.joshbrill.com [Illinois]

- Josh Brill is the founder and a member of Convolution Integral; a concept in which Josh orchestrates and manipulates soundscapes, live instruments, and dense modern harmonies, while using a jazz/jam band improvisational approach. The psymbient sound that CI brings to the world is a duality of the ambient and the participatory. The guitar soundscapes that CI creates begin with a single note, and through the use of loops, the past and present meet as they convolve with their distant relative, future.
Josh has toured as a guitarist with numerous national and international acts, including Dale Bozzio (Missing Persons, Frank Zappa), Mike Mangini (Steve Vai), David Jacobs-Strain, and Kenny Passarelli (Elton John, Joe Walsh).
- KiloWatts ~ Diffusion Records [Pennsylvania]

- KiloWatts is a marriage of man and machine - a love story about cells and bits - an attempt at defining a hilariously absurd and imperfect reality through an electronic invention that promises to encode this vision eternally. The music is deep, the songs tell stories, and the sounds are intensely emotional. Nested within the musical structure is an element of quirky electronic experimentation - a roadmap of new and interesting ways of carressing and mangling waveforms. The result is a cinematic tale of knowledge, confusion, and pushing forward.
- Kourosh Dini ~ www.kouroshdini.com [Illinois]

- Kourosh Dini is a classically trained musician and a psychiatrist focusing on the development of human and thought. The creation of his music is a reflection of the development of life. His cycling flow of dark and light offers a soundtrack for philosophical contemplation, a great backdrop for generating conversation and a must listen for those who wish to dig a little deeper to appreciate the beauty contained within.
- Venus, i [Chicago]
- Merkaballah ~ Space Dub Vibrations [Colorado]
- Organizers of the legendary Chakra parties, they have toured with live audio and visual tribal psytrance performance all over the world.

When: Memorial Day Weekend Friday May 26 - Monday May 29, RAIN or SHINE ; specific times TBA
Where: near Black River Falls, Wisconsin - maps, directions, details TBA
This is the first of two weekend-long camping festivals the Chilluminati will be creating in 2006. Both of our weekend festivals will be in western Wisconsin, close to the heart of the psychedelic tribes of that state and those of Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario, and Illinois.
The Native Americans of western Wisconsin built huge sacred earthworks that we now know as effigy mounds. These immense earthen symbols, carved into the earth, were symbols of the Divine. Just as they built their mounds, we create these parties as Cosmic Condensates; our Music, Dance, Light, and Love form a sacred structure in Space and Time, a microcosmic celebration of the Infinite.
Come join with us this year by helping us to invoke the Five Elements:
- Earth - our beautiful new party location near Black River Falls is known and loved by many
- Air - The Music, both Psychedelic Trance and Chill/Downtempo/Ambient, is the air we breathe
- Fire - Deco in three Dimensions: Art, Light, Projection. As well as Fire and Kinetic performances.
- Water - Healers, the psychedelic people, the ambience, community, the beautiful something that you can't put your finger on...
- Spirit - the Unseen, the Energy Field, Imaginal Realm Manifest
- Air - The Music, both Psychedelic Trance and Chill/Downtempo/Ambient, is the air we breathe
WE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound and light, 4 days of camping in a beautiful natural environment (rain or shine), running water, bathrooms and hot showers, full vending (including alcohol for those 21+).
