In this summer when things seem to be in flux the Straylight crew has taken a step in a new direction, with our first party in the SF Bay area.  The location is a secret, although it's within a half hour's drive of SF & as usual we've pulled together a fun mix of musicologists to bring you a night of beats under a full moon. 

The lineup for the night looks like this :

Now this party is a free party, but we are going to ask for donations to cover the costs of getting the Soundsystem & Performers here.

As with all good outdoor parties, this is a leave no trace event, so please don't drop anything at the spot.

Also if your a fire dancer, fire toys are welcome at this spot. Send me an email!

Directions will be posted to the site & on tribe the night of the event. 

C U on the Dancefloor!!!

 

Who is this Funktion ill?!?

He is your One Stop For Ghetto Fabulous Psychedelic Funk, Deep Dark Nasty & Naked Tribal Rythmns, And Super Fresh Extra Wobbly Head Swaying Bass Lines!!

Funktion ill was introduced to electronic music late in the game. Upon hearing quality psytrance via a Sixth Sense gathering in Southern California in 1999, he became enthralled with the infinite beat. After migrating to San Francisco in early 2000, he soon found a tightly woven audial fabric layered across the Bay Area and the wonderful people who wove it. Dancefloors became paradise for the next 4 years, then the itch begin. Funktion ill began to hear other sounds emerge, sounds he simply wanted to find and share. The musical spectrum is broad, but the vision is narrowed down to the dancefloor in front of him.

Current projects include the addition of Funktion ill to the STRAYLIGHT PRODUCTIONS roster, the up and coming electro and breaks label, ill n' naughty records and other productions based out of the San Francisco - East Bay. Earlier endeavors have included San Francisco based PsyBooty Records, the weekly SFSU's ELECTROBOAT.US radio show and podcast, and CD and Online music distribution under Future Octaves.

Funktion ill has graced the decks across the Bay Area over the last 5 years at parties from Confluence to Tantra. He is set to have a break out Summer with dates booked at some of California's finest Summer festivals including Goa Gil, Straylight 7 on June 30th, Phoenix Family's annual Gemini party, and The False Profit campout, Priceless...!!
