Dr. Lawrence Angelo: This is all so new.
Jobe Smith: It's not new. I realized that nothing we've been doing is new. We haven't been tapping into new areas of the brain - we've just been awakening the most ancient. This technology is simply a route to powers that conjurers and alchemists used centuries ago. The human race lost that knowledge and now I'm reclaiming it through virtual reality.
Dr. Lawrence Angelo: You're moving too fast. Even with all these new abilities, there are dangers. Man may be able to evolve a thousand-fold through this technology, but the rush must be tempered with wisdom.

Let’s take back our freedoms, HACK THE PLANET and give THANKS for our Drum and Bass monthly right in the heart of the East Bay - Dystopia, every fourth Friday of the month hosted by Primitive Science. Come get your audio tryptophan with ALL THE TRIMMINGS from DnB talent from across the landscape and indoctrinated by the verses of our MC's!

So with that said, "We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us."


︻╦╤─ ︻╦╤─ NOVEMBER 22ND ─╤╦︻ ─╤╦︻

November Thanksgiving at Dystopia will boast VERY SPECIAL GUESTS from all across the sprawl:


✣|✣|✣|✣ JANAKA SELEKTA (Gods Robots, Sony India) ✣|✣|✣|✣

Imagine a place where Indian classical folk traditions collide into the fringes of electronic music. Where the laid back space of dub reggae meets the energy of bass rattling dancefloors. This is the contoured landscape San Francisco based DJ and Producer Janaka Selekta evokes with his debut album, Pushing Air, out on the new label Chaiwalla’s Boombox on July 6, 2010.

Janaka’s upbringing is almost as diverse as his music, being born in Sri Lanka, raised in the United Kingdom and Kuwait, and now residing in the Bay Area. Pushing Air is a result of his blood, sweat, and tears through breakups, healings, and discovery throughout the past few years. The album was shaped on the road from SF to Chicago to NYC to the UK to India to Sri Lanka and back again. The outcome is an album that pushes a wall of sound forward never staying constant to one style or genre. It’s like you’ve travelled with Janaka on his journeys in each song. The SF Weekly broke it down by stating, “The album opens with "End of the Sun,"… soothing organ and elegant strings set up an ornate atmosphere before giving way to a midtempo, tabla-based beat progression. Tracks like "Awake" — featuring Chicago vocalist JC Stokes — "Bring the Curtain Down," and "Anklets" layer melancholy vocals with haunting melodies and the slow punch of deep dub bass tones.” The Weekly continued by describing, "The Escapist" blends sweeping strings from traditional Indian instruments bansuri and sarangi with crisp drum 'n' bass breaks. The album ends with the spiritually uplifting "Nomadic," which layers Hema Ram's evocative vocals over a percolating beat.” The album features other notable guests including Asian Dub Foundation’s Dr. Das, Riffat Sultana, and Salar Nadar.

Janaka has been cutting his teeth in the music industry for quite some time as a co-founder of SF’s popular, but now defunct Dhamaal Sound System. The collective threw some of the largest South Asian-Electronic-Mashup events in the Bay Area and produced a very successful album to international acclaim even getting support from the legendary John Peel. Janaka’s stellar production work on the Dhamaal album also led him to producing music for the hit X-Box game “Project Gotham,” as well as countless remixes for such highly notable artists like Karsh Kale (Six Degrees), Cheb i Sabbah (Six Degrees), and the Asian Dub Foundation. Besides his music production, Janaka’s skillful DJing and dynamic sets have taken him around the world headlining festivals and club nights and earning him praise and “Best DJ” awards in his hometown.
