Where to find me after tribe dies

Hey All,

Since it looks like Tribe may well be doomed, here's my contact info on other sites & such :

email : idice@hotmail.com or djdice831@gmail.com or djdice415@hotmail.com or djdice415@yahoo.com

Website : www.thehothouse.net/straylight

IM : yahoo= djdice415 msn=djdice415@hotmail.com or idice@hotmail.com googlechat=djdice831@gmail.com

And it's probably time for me to setup a profile on facebook, so look for me on there as well.

Please keep in touch!!!

I'd like to think that tribe will keep on going, but given their track record as of late, I'm not feeling that optimistic about it...

Peace Out

The Road to Knowhere This Saturday August 16th


Hi all,

So are you ready for another night of full moon madness??? We are!!! Everything is looking like it's lined up just about perfect. We've got some great people lined up to play for us, the weather is looking good & the moon will be at it's fullest this Saturday night. So yeah, the location is still a secret, but it's within a half hour's drive of SF. So this will be a perfect time for those of you who have heard the stories of our Big Sur parties, but haven't been able to make the trek, this is a much shorter & easier drive. So tell your freinds & bring them along for what's looking like a really fun night of dancing. Now, the lineup for the night looks like this :

11pm : Funktion Ill (Fremont) (Shake Lasta) (Psychedelic Electro-House)

12Midnight : Brien Scott (Redding) (Straylight) (Electro House)

1am : Paradigm (Kansas City/San Francisco) (Straylight/Xience) (Electro-Psy)

2am : DJ Dice (San Francisco) (Straylight) (Funky Breaks)

3am : Schlaut (San Francisco) (Shake Lasta) (Live Electro-Psy-Breaks)

4am : Mr. Rogers (Grass Valley) (Ooze Soundsystem) (Original Psy-Breaks)

5am : Arwin (San Jose) (Sound by Arwin) (Psy-Trance)

6am : Helios (San Francisco) (Synchronise) (Full On Psy-Trance)

Sound By Arwin

Deco By Mother Nature & Friends

Now this party is a free party, but we are going to ask for donations to cover the costs of getting the Soundsystem & Performers here.

As with all good outdoor parties, this is a leave no trace event, so please don't drop anything at the spot.

This is a renegade event, so please be low profile when approaching the location.

Also if your a fire dancer, fire toys are welcome at this spot.

Directions will be posted at www.thehothouse.net/straylight & hopefully on tribe the night of the event.

C U on the Dancefloor!!!

The Road to Knowhere : August 16th

Hi all,

In this summer when things seem to be in flux the Straylight crew has taken a step in a new direction, with our first party in the SF Bay area.

Straylight 8 : June 7th 2008

Hi all:

It's that time of year again, time one more to head up to our favorite mountain top & dance well past dawn. This year's lineup features a lot of familiar faces, but a few special guests will be joining us as always, to bring that wonderful mix of sounds that Straylight parties are known for. With that being said here is the short version of this year's line up :

8pm - 9pm : Seventh Swani
9pm - 10pm : Beet Junkey
10pm - 11pm : Arwin
11pm - Midnight : Function Ill
Midnight - 1:15am : DJ Dice
11:15am - 2:30am : Michael Liu
2:30am - 3:45am : Mubali
3:45am - 5am : A Very Special Guest
5am - 6:15am : Paradigm
6:15am - 7:30am : Machi
7:30am - 9am : Saturnia
9am - Onward : Open Decks

And now the full story of the line up :

Starting at around 8pm & going until 9pm, SEVENTH SWAMI, from Sacramento will be starting things
off with a chilled out Decks & Effects set. SEVENTH SWAMI represnts the
Ambient Mafia, Escape Artists & WantIt crews. A taste of his music can be
found at : www.ambientmafia.com

At 9pm will be Straylight DJ : BEETJUNKEY from Monterey. Some of you may know him as Kyle the mad
accountant, but there's soo much more to this man. He's been hard at work
in the studio tuning up his mixing skills & you can get a sample of what he
he's been working on at this link : www.myspace.com/mierdadechongo

Then at 10pm will be the triumphant return of our good freind ARWIN after a couple years off ARWIN is back & representing the Iriendao & Ataraxia crews. More about his music can be found by seaching for him at : radio.virtualdj.com/home/

At 11pm DJ FUNKTION ILL from San Francisco representing I'll'n'Naughty
Records, will be taking over with some Nasty Funky Electro. A taste of
which can be found at : www.electroboat.us

Then at Midnight : DJ DICE, a recent transplant to San Francisco will be taking
over the decks with some of his Heavy Funky Breaks. DJ DICE's latest mix :
SAN FRANCISCO SESSIONS VOL.1 can be found at :
www.thehothouse.net/straylig...sess1.htm

At 1:15am one of California's favorite DJs, San Jose's MICHAEL LIU from the Sunkissed
Family & Stilldream & Till Dawn Productions crews, will be taking over with
his oh so unique taste in Trance. It's not like he needs any introduction,
but here's a link to find out more about him & what he's up to
these days : www.myspace.com/sneekyninja

Then at 2:30am will be the return of Straylight's own Globe Trotting
Superstar DJ & Producer MUBALI. Fresh from his most recent travels,
he's got some incredibly sick new beats to drop on us!!! You can keep up
with his latest adventures & tunes at : mubali.usa.gs/

At 3:45am we have a very special guest DJ performing for us, he's such a big name
that we can't put his name on the lineup for fear of overloading our spot.
But suffice to say that he's known everywhere on earth.

Then at 5am will be the return of our own DJ PARADIGM, now living in Kansas City
One of the Straylight founders, and now a resident of the midwest. As well as one
of the founders of the Xience crew. His latest mix can be found at :
www.thehothouse.net/straylig...index.htm

At 6:15 will be MACHI from Millwaukee, representing the Xience crew. The leading
progressive DJ in the upper midwest, MACHI's fluid style and smooth mixing is quickly
winning him acclaim acrosss the country.

At 7:30 will be SATURNIA from San Francisco representing the CUT Label Group & the
Phoenix Family will be gracing us with one of her special morning time Psytrance sets.
More about SATUNIA can be found at : www.noctilucent.net/

At 9am will be OPEN DECKS!!!! Featuring the best of who's still
standing to keep us going till the generator runs out of gas, or we do,
whichever happens first...

Now some things to remember :

Camping is highly encouraged. It's great to get out there before sunset, as
the view is one of the best I've ever seen.

But NO FIRES, as the area that this will be happening at is full of lots of
dry grass that would burn very fast.

Also this is a LEAVE NO TRACE event, so please don't let any garbage hit the
ground, we will have trash bags around. Also if you see anyone drop
something ,please ask them to pick it up. Leaving a trashed party site is
the kind of thing that makes it hard to find more party spots.

Now a bit about the road, it's a very windey road all the way down the
coast, then up the mountain, it's a one lane paved road, once at the top of
the mountain the last 4 miles are on a graded dirt road, but most cars can
make it down there just fine, unless your car is lowered you should be fine.

Detailed directions will be posted at the website & tribe, the day of the
event. But if you've been to one of our parties, you know where your going.

RIP: Albert Hoffman

PLUR, yeah I said it!!!!

Well, it looks like I need a new place to live

Because my slumlord of a landlord has decided that I make too much noise, which is really funny because I live in the Mission where it's constantly noisey. So yeah if anyone in or near the city is looking for a chill roommate or knows of anyone looking for a good roommate, please let me know??? Oh yeah I don't make that much noise, but there was alot of noise here a month back when I had to evict an insane roommate, but I'm pretty quiet myself.
Thanks

Heck this year even mother nature was with us, could we have gotten any better weather? So what's next?

At 1am we've got the California debut of Portland Oregon's GRADUAL MELTDOWN,
PERFORMING LIVE!!! If you remember last May's special guest DJ FORREST
AVERY's Turntablist take on House & Breaks, which was so intense it brought
down a massive rainstorm upon the party. Well now he's teamed up with
Portland's DRJ to form a live performance group called GRADUAL MELTDOWN. A
teaser of their sound can be found at :
www.serialsickness.com/Fo/ShortDemo.mp3

At 2:15am one of our favorite DJs, San Jose's MICHAEL LIU from the Sunkissed

ground, we will have trash bags arround. Also if you see anyone drop
something ,please ask them to pick it up. Leaving a trashed party site is
the kind of thing that makes it hard to find more party spots.

One other thing, in years past we have thrown totally free parties, which we
have spent quite alot on, so this time to help make it easier to throw
further events, we will be asking people for donations, but it is entirely
optional, no one will be turned away. Please know that we are not doing this
to make a profit, simply trying not to be broke for the next 2 months becuse
we wanted to give our freinds a good time, I hope that seems reasonable.

Now a bit about the road, it's a very windey road all the way down the
coast, then up the mountain, it's a one lane paved road, once at the top of
the mountain the last 4 miles are on a graded dirt road, but most cars can
make it down there just fine, unless your car is lowered you should be fine.

Detailed directions will be posted at the website & tribe, the day of the
event. But if you've been to one of our parties, you know where your going.
