The Chilluminati in direct collaboration with Mindoutpsyde, in our 4th year, present a 3 day open-air festival focusing on psychedelic music, art, and culture, all within the Earthdance concept. This is an official and registered Earthdance event.
Earthdance, the Global Dance Festival for Peace has grown to become the world’s largest simultaneous music and dance event. Founded in 1996, with 22 cities and 18 countries participating, Earthdance has grown to over 300 locations in 60 countries participating in 2007, with locations ranging from the club-lands of New York to the rainforests of Brazil. Every year, in alignment with the International Day of Peace, over 200,000 people unite in dance with hundreds of thousands more joining online in support of global peace and humanitarian aims.
The defining moment of each Earthdance event is a synchronized link-up, when every event around the world plays a specially produced song called “The Prayer for Peace” at exactly the same time.
Earthdance has been described by the music industry as the “Dance Aid” for the new millennium. The aim of the event is to bring together global communities to create a synchronized global festival and dance event to help fund humanitarian causes and develop an environment of peace throughout the global community.
Earthdance is a non-political event and is organized by Earthdance International, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
Jois us on the Earthdance Network! http://www.earthdancenetwork.com/group/chilluminati
The Chilluminati is guided by:
- Psychedelic trance, chill and ambient are the music that we play. Music in itself is a transformative and psychedelic agent.
- Our events are more than music. They are multidimensional, multifaceted trance, visual, art and kinetic performance events. They are experiences.
- Our events are about transformation and becoming. Whatever your sense of spirituality is, you bring that to the gathering.
- At our events everyone takes responsibility for the gathering, others and themselves.
- Our events have an atmosphere and a vibe. The gathering is a field of energy that connects us. The gathering is a living being.
- Our events are about expressing yourself, being creative, being an individual.
- Our events are inclusive and open.
- Our events are both local and planetary; cultural diverse, reflective of the American Midwest, yet global.
- We respect local laws and customs.
- Our gathering is a gift which we all (organizers, artists, musicians and attendees) give to each other. This is not about money, commercialization and exploitation. This is not a product this is a community.

//SUIT & TIE GUY – LIVE – Chillicothe, Illinois
(1320 Records)
Suit & Tie Guy has been playing live electronic music since 1996, sharing bills with artists as varied as ambient pioneer Robert Rich and glitch-master Richard Devine. In 2006 he took a break from live performance to focus on his own analogue synthesizer firm, STG Soundlabs, which develops and markets tools which he felt not only he but the rest of live electronic music needed.

// NICK SYNERGY- Sonic Dragon / Overmindworks, Phoenix AZ
Nick Synergy hails from the southern midwest. After some experience as a mainstream DJ, he caught the techno bug in 1992, ironically from the radio. The newfound rave culture also fascinated him, and thus he became increasingly absorbed by DJing and electronic
music. He began beatmaching in 1995 and has been immersed in many facets of underground dance culture ever since. Gravitating toward the funky, groovy, and progressive sides of electronic music, the dynamic vibe this man carries is best demonstrated by the music he plays.
// PARADIGM – San Francisco, CA

// E11EVEN – Denver, CO

In the past year she has broken out from her home scene and is quickly becoming one of the more exciting and sought after acts on the national circuit.

// VJ eNdo – Stimulate Productions, Phoenix AZ
// VJ Vaxination – Esoteric Gen, Fayetteville AR
Just another angel headed hipster, hopping through the forest on an esoteric errand seeking psy trance and spirtual solace. another firey soul burning brightly in the night aligning himself cosmically with all good vibrations he recieves. another nutty psyconaut indulging on journeys that remind himself that indeed we are a product of chemistry. another node in indras web the vast matrix of connections consisting in the collective unconciousness and uniting all things in the harmonious vibrations of gaia. just another psychdelic soul filled with the wander lust of previous generations and the technomadic seeking of a cyberpunk goanaut.

// THE PAKA PAKA LIGHTSHOW – Psymbolic, Milwaukee WI
Near the turn of the last century, video manipulation and montage in real time became possible on a desktop computer, opening up a new world of expression. PakaPaka Lightshow was founded by Jerome Fortier, Reuben Fortier, and Dale Kaminski, a trio of artists devoted to exploring this new media. Jerome and Dale saw that their decades of experience in creating analog psychedelic lightshows could be leveraged with digital computers rather than overhead, aldis, slide, and 16mm projectors. PakaPaka Lightshow congealed organically through contemplation on how to provide visuals for a “historical cabaret” theatrical piece about the culture and happenings of 1968. This unique event led to the opening of many strange and exciting paths and PakaPaka continues to wander them. With every performance, PakaPaka provides a new stream of optical amusements, empathically bonded to the vibration of the moment. PakaPaka Lightshow’s live video performance and multimedia explorations are represented via the label known as Psymbolic.
