SHOWCASE INFO:
Dancing is a religion to many people, and here in Seattle we transcend what most people accept as life at the Church of Bass, a little piece of the underground that is lit by the energy of its nightly inhabitants, providing a home for dancers, freaks, and broken beats. Decibel Afterhours Friday evening at the Church of Bass will be a bastion of psychedelic breaks, a tribal land populated by those who just cant get enough and dont care who knows it.
Locals Skoi Sirius and Rob Noble lead off Starbornes Afterhours with homegrown beats laid thick with funky bass and infused with a genuine spirituality fueled by human connection. Phidelitys sliced-and-diced tech-laced ear ecstasy will not fail to enchant you; his hybrid live sets of future funk are created with a unique trippy stickiness that takes up residence right by your third eye. The warped energy that Eskmo generates for the dance floor makes people smile, dance, cry, and scream for more- more abstraction, more broken lines, more heavily distorted rips of music that addict you like a junkie to the growl-happy sounds. The musical experience that is Eskmo is not only for the insane bass-lovers, but for all humans who crave a darker and more intense expression of existence.

Starborne Productions, the brainchild of Michael Manahan, has hosted music, art, ritual theatre, fire, and thematic events all over the Seattle area for years and along with the Oracle Gatherings is a vital contributor to the community of electronic music freaks we all know, love, and strive to be. Without Starborne Productions the arts scene in Seattle would not be as richly colorful and constantly inspired.
