Attack Release presents: Temple of Boom


From Meetup.com Underground Party Network:

"Fuck yeah, this party's going to be AWESOME! The Attack/Release crew, headed by Owen from VUPN and assisted by yours truly, is putting on a wild psychedelic dance party including everything from house, techno, psytrance and a touch of dubstep. Come have your mind blown and make some new friends! The party will be held at a secret location near Broadway and Ontario from 9PM-late.

It will be worth the price of admission alone to hear my top four favourite local DJs play - Rob from VUPN and Zareh from Open Dex are debuting their new house duo Near Me, and Caleb and Austin from Subversive will be playing another fantastic hard-hitting set of tech house as Fox & Phillips. Owen from VUPN will play his second ever DJ set as Captain Hoser. Add in what will definitely be stellar sets from the highly-recommended full band Inject and DJs Cannabinoid, Goa Pete and Technobear, as well as the reportedly great Full On and Rocky Fi$her, and... wow! Is it too early to put this in serious contention for the best party of 2013?!! I don't think so! :)

Let's meet inside by the coat check at 10PM, 12AM, and 2AM - I definitely recommend coming right when the doors open at 9PM for maximum house-y grooviness. As always, I'll be blonde-haired and likely plaid-claid, and will give my cell number out to those that RSVP in case you can't find the group/party."

This is a 19+ event, IDs will be checked at the door. The party is taking place at a secret location near Broadway and Ontario. The address will be on the tickets; I will also send out the exact address to those that RSVP.

Tickets are $15 in advance from Ignite Smoke Shop, Highlife Records, and Vancity Glass Galleries - or online at Goa Trancemission. Tickets will also be available at the door for $20.

See you there!

It is the dead of winter. A passing traveller, walking along a desolate road in the dark of night, comes upon a strange sound. Deep, pounding, and resonating like a magical drum, it continues at a frantic pace. As the traveller approaches closer, the sound seems to be coming from some kind of ancient brick structure. The traveller ascends the stairs to enter. What kind of wonders await inside… THE TEMPLE OF BOOM!

Yep, Attack/Release is back! After packing into a little spot in industrial East Van back in October, we return to a much bigger room in the heart of the city. The genre bending continues, with a mix of Vancouver's finest techno, breaks, psy and bass. We'll have visuals to dazzle your eyes and sounds that will shake you down to your core.

This will be my last party I throw for a while, since I'm leaving for a shipboard gig in the Carribean at the end of January. I hope to see lots of my Vancouver friends here, and I'm other Attack/Release friends will keep you dancing until I return in August. Remember… be excellent to each other. And party on, dudes!

Peace and love,
Captain Hoser

INJECT (live PA breaks - Tribal Harmonix)
http://inject.org/

Peter "Fish" Fisera performed live techno/breaks as Transgress at the last Attack/Release party, and we're stoked to have him back along with Amrit Basi (drums) and Jamie Lubiner (guitar/synth)! Using conventional instrumentation, Inject improvises continuous, groove-based music seamlessly blending elements of dubstep, jazzbient, trip-hop, breaks, drum and bass, trance, house, and previously unnamed and undiscovered flavours of electronic music. Usually dance-oriented and always experimental, Inject have packed dance floors since 2000 and have totally freaked out jaded "I've seen it all" music fans.

CANNABINOID (live PA breaks - VIM Records, Red Robot Records, BeLeaf)
http://soundcloud.com/cannabinoid

Fusing elements of progressive, tribal, goa, electro, breakbeats and techno, on top of driving, funky drums, Cannabinoid is an all-robot funk band, fronted by a circuit-bent NES console. The breakbeat recording project of Vancouver producer/DJ Laurent Boucher, Cannabinoid pushes boundaries with regards to genre and style, while retaining a characteristic sound of heavy drums, funky percussion, grinding bass and 8-bit acid.

GOA PETE (goa psy - Goa Trance Mission)
http://goatrancemission.com/goa-pete

Goa Pete's quest for the greatest psytrance has taken him from New Delhi to the beaches of Goa in the early '90s all the way to Vancouver in 2001, where he now DJ's and promotes for the psy collective Goa Trance Mission. I first met him at KARMA, Goa Trance Mission's magnificent three day, three stage psychedelic festival in a mountain valley near Pemberton. His late night sets will take you to new places within the depths of your mind and beyond!

ROCKY FI$HER (dubstep - EPiC)

http://www.mixcloud.com/RockyFisher

By day, Rhiannon Rose runs Ignite Smoke Shop, a proud purveyor of paraphernalia for Vancouver's favourite pastime. By night, she is Rocky Fi$her, proud purveyor of all things BASS! As a resident DJ for EPiC Thursdays at Club 23 and more recently for Double X's Bass Life underground parties, Rocky Fi$her is certain to blow minds (but hopefully not speakers) with her high-energy tracks.

FULL ON (full on psy - East Village Factory)

If you've spent much time in Vancouver's psy scene, you know Rob Full On. With his signature furry hat, Full On can be found at Organix and other dance floors around Vancouver kicking things to a whole new level. He and Goa Pete have been super helpful in making this event happen!

TECHNOBEAR (techno - Haus Uv Freeks, Attack/Release)
https://soundcloud.com/technobear1

Back by popular demand! Years ago, a bear cub named Kyle wandered into the city of Vancouver. He went miraculously unnoticed until he was discovered by a pack of wild ravers somewhere in the middle of East Van. They raised him, taught him how to play Nintendo, dance and eventually DJ. The bear quickly became a dance floor sensation, where he was given the righteous name of TECHNOBEAR!

FOX & PHILLIPS (techno/house - Subversive, 4Corners)
http://www.subversivemusic.ca/category/djs/
https://soundcloud.com/fox_and_phillips

Caleb Fox and Austin Phillips are all over Vancouver's underground techno and house scenes as members of Subversive, a production crew that features avant house, deep high-tech soul and ethereal space techno. They've also played at some of Vancouver's top electronic venues like Lotus, Open Studios, Box Studios, Franklin Room and the Anza Club (Open Dex). They've recently teamed up to work with some other close friends as 4Corners, in addition to playing with Subversive.

NEAR ME (house/techno - Low Motion, VUPN)
http://soundcloud.com/rc2
http://www.low-motion.com/

Rob Caruk is part of Low Motion, a collection of music enthusiasts and DJ's who specialize in the deep and grooving side of house. He and Zareh have played together at Oepn Dex and other housey nights around the city. Rob is also a co-organizer for the Vancouver Underground Party Network, a meetup for Vancouver's electronic music community that brought out lots of cool people to the last Attack/Release party.

CAPTAIN HOSER (hoser - Attack/Release)

Some of you may have seen me play my first DJ set ever at the last Attack/Release party. Well, this one's gonna be totally different! Expect trippiness and funkiness.
