SACRED BASS SESSIONS: HEARTBEAT
Feb 14, 2014 / doors at 8 pm
Presence Studio / Bellingham
Featuring Drumspyder / DJ HyFi / Benjie Howard & Gentri Watson / BellaDonna Dance / Yoga / Live Painters / Vending
Gather in intentional community this Valentine's Day to explore the rhythm of the heartbeat and the mysteries of love. Through yoga, live drumming, art, dance and acoustic and electronic music, together we'll cultivate the pulse of passion and rhythmic bliss!
Drumspyder's inspiration is the the creation of rhythm with the human hand and the primal connection between drummer and dancer. An expert percussionist of many years training, he is immersed in rhythm and all its modalities, from the hypnotic, trance-inducing pulse to the energy of ecstatic dance. He works in a broad range of tempos - ranging from slinky, sexy downtempo through funky mid-tempo whomp to high-energy tribal house. Bringing the drums to bellydancers, yogis and the emerging transformational festival culture, Drumspyder weaves the rhythms and tonalities of the Mediterranean and live Arabic percussion into his own style of electronic dance fusion, distinguished by its funky, danceable grooves and rhythmically intense, percussion-driven sound. 2013 saw Drumspyder appearing at festivals throughout North America, including Luminosity, Photosynthesis, Gratifly, Shambhala and MEME, as well as the Hadra Trance Festival in France.

DJ Hyfi is a Philly-based DJ who has taken his art into the yoga studio to create a deep fusion of sound and movement. He spends most of his time on the road spinning for workshops, festivals and conferences around the nation and internationally. He strives to create a fresh experience for yoga enthusiasts everywhere with his unique approach to this dynamic art. Finding inspiration from life on the road and the interesting collection of characters along the way, he shares his perspective on yoga through his turntables. HyFi's DJ mixes are infused with a wide range of soulful electronic music, from deep ambient tunes to ecstatic rhythms of Jungle/DnB. https://soundcloud.com/hyfi
Benjie Howard is a singer/ songwriter who grew up in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains on a steady diet of Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash. These influences are audible in his music along with a modern blend of Alt. Country and Alt. Pop. His songs are well crafted stories with a vivid visual quality, deeply rooted in the American West. In addition to working as a musician, Benjie is an educator and activist, working with youth around the country growing awareness of environmental and social issues in struggling communities. He's also a river guide on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. These experiences fuel the music. There is a truth telling and a wildness in his songs.
