NYC Oct. 7th- Freek Factory and Disorient present
“Freeking The Ultra” a celebration of Bassnectar’s
anticipated double disc release Mesmerizing The Ultra.
The Brooklyn-based up-and-coming production team Freek Factory
hosts the NYC return of Bassnectar (Lorin Ashton) on Oct.
7th, joined by an international and bi-coastal cadre of
dance floor destroyers, for an epic affair celebrating the
release of his double CD tour de force.
From undulating midtempo beats to cut up hyp-hop; driving
breakbeat to sultry downtempo, angelic melodics meet
bassline perversion on Mesmerizing the Ultra. Stellar
production coincides with a strong political awareness;
demonstrating an unwavering dedication to underground
subversion. The list of collaborators and remixes on the
album include Freq Nasty, Buckethead, KRS One, Mumia Abu
Jamal, Noam Chomsky, STS9, Kraddy, Sayr and Kang from the
String Cheese Incident as well as a host of talented
underground MCs and producers. Freek Factory is proud to host the official New York City debut of this exciting new material.
In their outlandish freak style and for one night only,
the Freek Factory posse will transform 251 West 30th
Street (formerly Downtime) into a heathen’s den of
outerworldly delights. Resident creatrix Sequoia
Emmanuelle will add her vaunted space beautification
skills to the effort. Tiggrrr Fearless and the ever vital Freek
Factory Dancers will be afoot to aid in the instigation
of delightful madness, shrouded in the crafted couture of
Boring Inc. and the radical hair creations of Dana Divine.
Freshly back from Black Rock City, Nevada, Disorient will add
a Glam-tech sensibility to the production as only they
can, bending your perceptions with inflatables and things
that go blink in the night. SF based visual artist Satsi
will send the event into orbit with his mind-altering
optical magic.
Joining Bassnectar on the main floor is very special guest The All Good Funk Alliance, championing the Nu-Funk sound emerging from D.C. and presently making big waves amongst the global beat cognoscenti.
Resident Freek Factory DJs Haj, Sunder, JP001 and Spyro Sound System (Live
PA) will all be on hand, along with other special guest DJs Rhythmystic, The Bass (Disorient), Orion (Disorient), Wavewhore, and Sean Infinitee. AtoMicDoG, Zapper and The Drop In Posse (France) will be performing very special live PA sets as well. (The DIP will be collecting donations of clothes and non-perishable food for Central American children which they will distribute directly later in their tour).
Join us for this epic and historic night of “Freeking The
Ultra”.
