Mother Earth Sound System
Celebrates 30 years of Dancing Under the Full Moon
30-YEAR FULL MOON CAMPOUT
AUGUST 4-6, 2023
Special Guests:
WATA IGARASHI
JAPAN • WIP / Figure / Bunker NY / Delsin / Bitta / Midgar
Wata Igarashi is one of the leading figures of Japanese techno, emerging from the country’s deep relationship with electronic music. By day, Igarashi works as a sound producer and the skills he has developed through his work are reflected in his productions, which are distinguished by their subtle and carefully polished feel. Igarashi pursues a similar sound in his DJ sets, developing a distinctive take on the more trippy and psychedelic brand of techno Japan has become known for.
We cannot wait to share Wata’s unique sound with all of you, in a beautiful Rocky Mountain setting on private land. Wata will be playing an extended DJ set, and we cannot think of a better sonic guide for our celebration.
SOLAR
SF • Squirrels on Film / Sunset Sound System
When Solar began Djing in the early 90’s, San Francisco’s Clubs and raves were places where musically, anything could happen. To be a DJ in this time and place meant having a fierce dedication to the craft of creating electrifying music for people to dance all night. A deep record collection and bold creativity were what people valued in the Djs they would go hear every weekend.
In 1994, Solar and a couple other Djs began bringing a sound system and a generator to the Berkeley Marina for free gatherings to dance and watch the sun set behind the San Francisco skyline. As these Sunset parties grew from dozens to hundreds, and now thousands of attendees, Solar become one San Francisco’s best loved DJs. Known for his eclectic sets, blending Techno, Disco, House, Electro and electronic music with the energy of Punk and Psychedelic Rock, Solar has built a loyal following among a discerning crowd of dancers and party goers used to hearing every touring DJ you’ve ever heard of. Nearly twenty years of playing music for crowds large and small has evolved a style of Djing that seamlessly fuses the best of classic and modern dance music. More recently as resident and co-creator of the No Way Back parties, Solar has earned the reputation of a DJ devoted to the art of mixing and selecting music without regard to ephemeral fashion, trends or fads.
