The time has come once again to gather the very fabric which holds the Psytrance scene together in the U.S. and celebrate one of the BEST things in life.... " GEMINI ".

I've talked to alot of people on my travels last year and danced with a great amount of brothers and sisters unifying on the dancefloor. The energy and pure joy of the communities that were created at these events brings happiness to my heart in knowing the togetherness we share.

On these adventures, I got to hear and talk to the next group of Sound Shamans who will bless us with their infinite wisdom of the communicative nature of the message in the music on the Main Stage. Some are pioneers of the scene here in the States, some are fresh talent, who are the future of our glorious family. I also connected with a decor artist ( Shane, Touch Samadhi, N.Carolina ) who will show off his unique talents together with a couple of hometown deco heroes ( Infinite Chaos/SpinJam Andreas, EyesMind Tony, and Chris of Synchronize ) to bring GEMINI to HIGHER HIEGHTS.

The Chill Area will be managed by Blue Spectral Monkey who has had many years of experience bringing the right vibe to gatherings. He has all the resources he needs to bring something together that we have never seen at GEMINI to date. The lineup will consist of people who are not playing on the Main Stage to ensure a proper voyage of a unique kind at this Area.

GEMINI 08' will be held on June 13th - 15th at the same location as last year. Full directions will be out a week before the show. And as most of us know, like the BEST things in life, GEMINI is a free gathering. I don't make flyers for this event, e-mail and word of mouth makeup the family that attends this show. And this show is like NO OTHER. There is plenty of camping space for everyone, bathrooms with showers, a restuarant and saloon with a small marketplace, and the Feather River to swim in..... Happy Happy Joy Joy!

We will have 2 special guests with us from afar this year on the Main Stage and 2 or 3 at the Chill Area. I will keep the Main Stage Live Acts secret as not to taint the reasons for those who come. It will be a " BIG SUPRISE " for all. Let the rumours begin!

There will be a Ritual by Shanti and Friends on Saturday at 4:40pm before the music starts at 5pm. The Main Stage will be shut off from 12pm to the Ritual. During that time, the Chill Area will be in FULL AFFECT, we will have Belly Dancers grace us with their talents.

As for the lineup on the Main Stage, I have it almost complete. I will list the people who know their playing and then list the folks who I will be asking. Since GEMINI is a free gathering, I'm going to need a few poeple who can fly themselves out for the show and or pay for part. Here is the list;

Featuring an all-star lineup of Asheville- and regionally-based bands, the Vortex Music Festival begins its residence in Asheville on June 27 at the Asheville Civic Center. The inaugural two-day event features Toubab Krewe, Perpetual Groove, Dubconscious, SeepeopleS and Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, along with 16 more bands and DJs that highlight the local music scene in Asheville, NC and the surrounding region. The full lineup is posted below.

Night Skye Entertainment, the organization responsible for the Vortex Music Festival, seeks to highlight local talent as well as provide a broad spectrum of musical genres to enlighten, inspire and celebrate individual creativity through sound. From the electronica of John Kelley and Telepath to the roots rock of Laura Reed and Deep Pocket, the festival offers something for every Asheville music lover and beyond.

Complimenting the exceptional talent, Vortex offers one of the most dominant sound and lighting contractors in the southeast, Muse Productions. Heading up Muse is Newton Carter, who has worked front of the house for bands such as The Who and U2. Carter’s extensive experience will guarantee the best possible sound and lighting quality.

In addition to the event’s unique lineup of stellar regional bands, Vortex offers something for the common good as well; this year’s inaugural event will sponsor three nonprofit organizations, including Child Abuse Prevention Services, NCAHA and Manna Food Bank. Also, the event will be broadcast live by 105.9 The Mountain, so that everybody can enjoy a few songs and interviews from the bands.

Raffle tickets for a grand prize each night will be given to persons bringing non-perishable food items to donate to Manna Food Bank.

The Asheville civic center will play host to vendors and booths that are accessible from the venue floor, and food and drink will be readily available to all attendees.
