DETAILS: On February 29, a diverse range of musical and visual artists band together for a party so crazy that it could only happen every four years; “Pirates vs Klowns” – the Leap Day Leap. Featuring a costumed crowd enjoying 6 hours of live music, performance art, circus and cabaret performance, and even some huge DJ sets. The centerpiece of this feast for the senses will be the first SF appearance of 2008 by the indescribable 43-piece music/performance-art/dance ensemble, The Mutaytor. Other highlights include a debut duo set by breakbeat stars Uberzone & Bassbin Twins and a visit from UK dubstep wiz Kromestar. Adrian & the Mysterious D. and Big Dolla will host the “ Bootie Pirate Mashup Room ” in the front, while Antennae, Ripple & Boggle host “ Full Melt” dubstep and acid crunk upstairs. Motion Potion, Victor Vega, Absurge, and Rocket of the Fringe hold down the eclectic funk, breaks, electro and live art downstairs. LA’s legendary Cirque Berzerk will be on-hand to show off their high-flying aerials in the main room.
The Mutaytor is part hip-grinding techno-retro-funk, part audience-interactive post-modern circus. The act takes elements of Parliament-Funkadelic, the Crystal Method, Underworld, and Blue Man Group and throws them directly at the audience as riotous surreal entertainment. With tons of fresh material and an emphasis on instrumental prowess (with 2 guitars, keys and bass joining the huge drum-line), their sound is tight, the show manic, the vibe all-inclusively friendly. There's nothing like a Mutaytor show; they are on stage, above the audience, IN the crowd. With their sonic redesign, recently showcased at their home in Black Rock City (punctuated by a burst courtesy of 2000 lbs of propane), it’s clear that The Mutaytor is a force to be reckoned with.
Uberzone is the brainchild of southern California native Q (named after the
"gizmo" -loving James Bond character). Like his namesake, Q is a
die-hard collector of all things electronic, and has been
collecting electronic-music gear since his early teens. His early
singles, "Botz" and "The Freaks", were critically acclaimed club
tracks that established Q as one of the leading American producers
of breakbeat music. His remixes of Sarah McLachlan, The Crystal
Method and BT also established him as one of the biggest names in
the American dance scene. Spin Magazine named Uberzone as one of
the six producers to create "the biggest beats ever."
Bassbin Twins were born in Los Angeles, moved to Belgium, and are now based in
San Francisco. Started in 1992 simply because of a "love for the
beats", they've recorded for Skint, Belgian Breaks, Southern Fried,
and others, as well as their own numerous one off indpendent
releases. A live
Bassbin Twins show is a remix of all their favorite music. Their innovative
tunes range from breaks to house to drum 'n bass. Anything and
everything can get woven into the mix. Eclectic in nature, the
connection lies in the unique rub they put on each track.
Adrian & the Mysterious D have spent the past 5 years as the West Coast’s leading champions of bootleg culture. Their wildly successful “Bootie” parties rip up SF twice a month, and have also touched down in LA, New York, Paris and China. A member of the Mutaytor and a solo DJ of wide acclaim, Motion Potion is known for his infusion of funk, rock, latin and pop themes into organic and electronic breakbeats. An-Ten-Nae uses a similar approach, but drops his hooks into downtempo drop breaks and dubstep. The Fringe Arts Collective has spent the past 3 years aiming to “bring culture to the counterculture” with live painting and music. Fringe DJs Big Dolla, Tim Dietz, Victor Vega and Absurge will be rocking the bassment.
