OF COURSE: DANCE WAS IN YOUR FUTURE!
A hindsight dispatch from the year 2121
Before the invention of crumbless toast, before the last George W. Bush library was dismantled (or was renamed the G.W. Bush “Lie-brary”), the end of peak oil and the rise of peak consciousness, there was the Groove Garden.
And whooooda knew that waaaaay back when, in the year nineteen-hundred and ninety-nine when we were a swingin’ hippie hideout of sandle-flappin, crystal-swingin’, granola-crunchin’ purple-wearing freaks starting a dance event that, in 2008, we’d still be all that, and also be a buncha’ patchouli burnin,’ interpretative dancing,’ bass-huffin, groove smacked, beat munching, dancehumpin’ community peeps that refuses to fade away, but grow stronger with every turn of the tables, drop of the bassline and whack of the drum. Well, its all in the sound...its all in the people!
And, ya know how it goes, back then we knew how to hook’em cause the first fix was always free...and so now you are hooked….Yep, if only all of your vices were so healthy…
Today, with the added heft of a brand spankin’ new sound system and even bigger sweet spot we are gonna groove, move and soothe you like there is no tomorrow. So come Live-Life-Large on the dancefloor – be your most resplendent self and we’ll shine with you!

LINE UP:
Lloyde Family Players
www.theloydfamilyplayers.com
Heard at the West Coast’s finest festivals: A jubilant live samba set featuring a sizzle of pawn-shopped, percussion-popping kernels of beats over a shake up of booty crackin’ , lip lockin’ hip hopped, funk & dancehall inspired Brazilian rhythms! A knock-yer’-socks-off wall of amazing sound!
DJ Dragonfly:
Disengage your mind from your body and your body from gravity as the clutch is dropped and the bass hits the fan. Both opening and closing sets represent the genre-hopping global eclectica that is charged with a headrush of rhythms giving way to the spontaneous sonic freefall of transcendent drops.
Tutti Pazzi:
Groove Garden rezzies Sophia and Kat open the evening with eclectic global downtempo, spacious world rhythms with a twist of funk, hints of deep groove, liquid hip hop, and a beamingly good time!
Non Stop Bhangra:
www.nonstopbhangra.com/
The SF crew that has one of theeeee most vibrant and positive crews of DJs and dancers; and they’re throwing down the most hands-in-the-air, bass-got-mah-ass, events around, bringing their inimitable spirit to Groove Garden for a fully funked up, bump n grind mash of sounds from the Indian subcontinent. Its music that’ll make your body smile, your face hurt! DJ Jimmy Love’ll run ya’ll thru the funky grinder, mincing yer moves with a cross-pollination of tru-skool grooves, bumpin chuggers, blessin’ up the floor ya know!
Urban Nature:
www.toddboston.com
The Groove Garden is very honored to offer your mind, body, spirit and soul a retreat into the softer side of sounds with an evening into uncharted territory featuring Urban Nature. With a multitude of helmsman to offer safe passage founders Todd Boston (guitar, bass loops, flutes) and Ramesh Kannan (tablas/Indian & Latin percussion) are joined by soundscapers Vir McCoy (Hamsa Lila) and vocalist Shay Nichols, Vlad Cardema on didgeridoo, and on the West African harp, or “kora” Yacouba Diarri . Together they will take you on a mesmerizing transglobal carpet ride of a journey.
MC Yogi:
After blowing away crowds at the Yoga Journal Conference, Cheb I Sabbah’s CD release party and Julia Butterfly Hills benefit, he’s back by popular demand, and bustin’ out a few new tracks from his upcoming album: Think Beastie Boys meets Ravi Shankar!
Mitara and Freyja (Bellydance set)
www.freyjafusion.com www.myspace.com/mitara
Two of the Bay Area’s finest bellydancers grace the floor combining undulating grace, snaky sashays and popping hips.

A transglobal-indigenously flava’d, urban village, 3rd world ethos, pidgin kulcha’ digital visual melting pot of light, shape, shadow and shift!
