...Disorient presents: DREAMLAND at NYC*Gratitude/A Village of Light, the sweeping DEc. COMmunity celebration of burners in NYC and beyond. Closing out the commemoration of Disorient's 10th year as a Burning Man theme camp, Annabelle (Boston) and Soooz (Queens) lead the creation of our signature Pornj Puddle: a lush and luxurious upstairs chill area adorned with an abundance of Moroccan-style draped fabric, carpets, seating, bedding, and pillows. Lit with LED art designed by Leo Villareal and dreamy disorienting projections by VJ Gui"aum"etriX, DREAMLAND will create multiple intimate environments for moments of relaxation and escape for grateful dancers and partygoers, with four balconies to keep an eye on all the action on the main floor.
DREAMLAND will be hosting the Massage Salon!
"The Massage Salon is a welcoming creative space both for us to offer therapeutic massage therapy bodywork to the whole community, and for you to care for each other directly.
We will offer a refuge, an oasis of healing and stirring physical direct experience in the heart of the city but at the edge of life's wilderness.
Aesthetics and logistics open-ended and subject to change -- but envision breezy caravanserai tenting, glow-rope, springy mats, diffuse ambient lighting, wafting music and scents to soothe... seek refuge from the crash and the mosh, take a deep breath, stretch out and let the cords of your muscles unwind."
When you've rested enough, boogie down with a six-pack of your favorite Disorient DJs. The headliners hold court in front of Disorient's Art Car Wash LED sign in the LIGHT Arena (main room):
-Arrow Chrome (NYC)
-Friar Tuck (NYC)
Other Disorient residents will spin on Disorient's own sound system in the GRATITUDE Tent (a heated, outdoor dance environment with JustinJustin TOCA & Ale' Ale' Drummers, the percussionists who regularly accompany Disorient).
-The Bass (NYC)
-Miss Sabado (NYC/LA)
-Orion Keyser (NYC)
-Reda Briki (NYC)
We're also very excited about two friends flying in from Cali.
-An*ten*nae (Acid Crunk/SF) returns to NYC by popular demand, performing an encore to his whomping set before Arrow Chrome during the ACID CRUNK VOL. 3 WORLD TOUR release party presented by One Good Reason at Rebel.
-Karim So (Luvstep/LA) makes his New York debut after widespread West Coast acclaim, including the Disorient Stage at LA DECOM 2009.
Don't miss the other top NYC-based DJs who've made our cut to spin at Disorient events in the past: D_Juice (House of Yes), Jon Margulies (Hobotech), Joro-Boro (Etno-Teck), Morphous w/ ShiZaru (Tsunami Bass Experience), and Tektite (Vitamin B).
For a change of pace, Disorienter Joshua Tennent is curating live music and will be opening with a classical guitar set in the SOUND Sector (live music tent, Kostume Kult, and late night DJs). He'll be joined on guitar by Disorient veteran Jester Jaimi and Perry Phoenix for the predictably unpredictable musical adventures of Acoustic Noise Complaint. Expect distinctive live music and visuals from Lenkadu (Boston), a frequent collaborator with Disorient and PEX.
Feasting your eyes, Disorient alum Wheylan presents an all new fashion show in the LIGHT Arena (main room) at midnight! Please arrive by 11:30 to secure a place.
Finally, many more DOers and other burners have been working über-hard behind the scenes to make the magic happen!

Disorient presents: COMPRESSOR VI
Re-envisioning Metropolis
Saturday, July 17, 2010
9pm-6am
21+
Times Square Arts Center
669 8th Avenue
New York, NY
Berlin's Love Parade headliners Tune Brothers make their NYC debut!
COMPRESSOR is Disorient's annual ignition of the collective rocket that drives our community to the playa. It's a chance to premiere the latest art and performances that will define us in Black Rock City. By popular demand, we're returning to the air-conditioned Times Square Arts Center, where we all had a blast at Black & Light Ball.
This year’s COMPRESSOR theme will focus on reclaiming the future of Metropolis through high-tech interactive art and parables of sustainability in the heart of our Metropolis. How do the denizens of Metropolis reinvent their environment in a far away land? How does word for the future from the past square with the actual future? What then do we learn about our own future Metropolis?
Costume and art ideas include future-retro to future-techno, cyber-tribal to nouveau-formal, Nikola Tesla to Fritz Lang and anything else that captures the essence of Re-envisioning Metropolis.
__________
Art will be curated by Disorient to create an immersive and unified experience. We are especially interested in showcasing larger scale installations and art that will be going to the playa. Send submissions to compressor@disorient.info.
Please volunteer to help make Compressor a reality!
