DJ OLIVE (New York) DJ Olive's activities as a musician, artist and dj spread a wide range of approaches. Over the past decade he has christened musical movements, such as Illbient (which resulted from a joke remark), he's improvised as a turntablist with many groups - including his ongoing collaboration with Kim Gordon, Ikue Mori and Jim O'Rourke (released on Sonic Youth Records) and he has also been responsible for producing some of the most engaging free flowing beats that mesh together the moods of dancehall, hip-hop, latin groove, breakbeat and dub. He runs two labels, theAgriculture and Phonomena (with Toshio Kijiwara), which both explore different facets of his musical taste and interest. His debut long player Bodega, will be released on theAgriculture this September.

I/O (BRISBANE) is a sound project by Brisbane based producer and artist Lawrence English. Bringing together his interest in field recordings, ambient textures and subtle rhythm, I/O's music is deep and drifting - with a focus on the music's organic elements (which are then processed digitally) as the basis for the pieces. I/O sets have taken many forms, from 5 hour long presentations in galleries to intimate cafe laptop sets that see the music take a far more 'atmospheric' role. For Earthdance, I/O will be offering some much needed ambience, lowering the bpm level and allowing the bodies present to recouperate in a warm, gentle sound bubble.
