Dear Grooooooovin' Friends:

On the shortest day and longest night of the year, at the mid point of light and dark, while we teeter towards Hope, please join us for a very, very special event we have created for you when the Groove Garden celebrates its inimitable Chillspace vibe by gently pouring that room's contents into the dance sanctuary where we'll gather for an energetic and visual hybrid of groove and chill.

Before you the evening magically unravels with a continual melodic expression, mystic rhythms and an uninsistent bubbling of verve. Your body listens for all-expansive grooves as dancers respond to the muse with the embodiment of that feeling experienced on moving sidewalks: Your movements are effortless as your surroundings are seemingly suspended in a slow motion cinematic experience. Around you hushed conversations mingle with the scent of spicy chai and massage therapists lend expertise to the world-worn. Whether you are here to move or not, you will be steeped in a seductive hum of creativity and like a good cup of tea you will be consumed slowly and deliciously.

Your Line UP - Your MUsic:

Waterjuice (Psychill & Dub)
The S.F. based duo and electronica producers make a rare Marin appearance as they activate the dancefloor with their signature live psydub set, inspiring dancers with new, deep rubbery grooves, sending a pulsing antifreeze of percolating basslines coursing through creative juices to feet, hands, heads and hips everywhere.

Jef Stott (Live Oud/Laptop/DJ set)
Aromatic melodies of the Middle East meet dubtronic dreamscapes as an emotive mood of live Oud and programming becomes the travel guide of the imagination. A magic carpet awaits your departure, your soul is the captain...

DJ Dragonfly (A Drizzle of Downtempo)
Dipping into the downtempo denominator of all genres and ladling out deep helpings of sound and spirit, epic lifts are suspended over epic plunges of hypnotic sway as a sparkle of elements are exhaled by speaker cabinets to the inhale of dancefloor dervishes.

Urban Nature (Live Globalizms & Loops)
Following up on their epic performance in the Groove Garden's Dec. 6th chillspace, the masters of the muse return, this time with special guest Yakouba on Kora (West African harp), Ramesh Kannan on Tablas and Percussion and Todd Boston on Bass, Flutes, Guitar & Percussion, plus samples and loops. Incredibly journey-istic and deeply moving, visually captivating with a soaring grace!

Massage and organics onsite.
