SeaD Ecstatic Dance – 4:30-6:30pm Sunday 18th March
Honoka'a People's Theatre
We are so excited to have DJ Sky Makai return to the Honokaa People's Theatre after many years hiatus. His blending mastery formed the basis of the original People's Theatre Ecstatic in the early 2000's, as well as Ecstatic Dance at Kalanihonua since it began in the 90's. Sky is a gifted facilitator with the sacred rhythms of dance, and has been a Big Island favorite of ours for many years.
Known for perfectly seamless transitions with an impeccable choice of songs for invoking movement, emotional, mental, and physical, he ignores the boundaries of genres and blends music across a wide spectrum. Live and impromptu, never the same, his sets are always tailored for the moment and the people in it.
Devoted and committed to personal growth, community, dance and movement, his strong sense intention and care shines through every event he facilitates.
Want to catch up and listen to recent recordings of sets Sky Makai played? Follow him here:
https://soundcloud.com/skymakai
Ecstatic Dance Honokaa is a space safe to come and literally lose yourself to dance, free form movement with NO judgement. Hear the music, kick off your shoes, get on the floor, feel the vibes rushing through your body and let go – move however your feel compelled and without the worry that anyone is judging you. Denying your deserving BEing of the pleasure of dancing ecstatically is a real shame. It is my medicine, I need to move my body to music in order to feel in optimum health and since we are all vibrational BEings, even if you don't know it, dancing will likely have the same positive effect on you.
This month we'll be receiving musical medicine from DJ Sky Makai. 13yrs + $7 suggested minimum donation. Proceeds will be donated to Hui Pono Holoholona. An all volunteer non profit organization dedicated to reducing animal overpopulation humanely by spay/neutering of cats and dogs on the East side of the Big Island of Hawai'i: https://www.hphhawaii.org/

HERE IS A LINK TO A BACK STORY ON GHETTO TECH AND ASSAULT –
http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2017/05/ghettotech-oral-history
Ghettotech (also known as Detroit club music) is a genre of electronic music originating from Detroit. It combines elements of Chicago's ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass and UK garage. It features four-on-the-floor rhythms and is usually faster than most other dance music genres, at roughly 145 to 160 BPM. As with ghetto house, vocals are often repetitive and sometimes pornographic. “the beats are really gritty, really raw, nothing polished.”[1]
Ghettotech was born as a DJing style, inspired by the eclecticism of The Electrifying Mojo and the fast-paced mixing and turntablism of The Wizard, with DJs mixing genres including jungle, ghetto house, hip hop, R&B, electro and Detroit techno. The general BPM of the music's mixing style increases over time.
A Detroit ghettotech style of dancing is called the jit. This dance style relies heavily on fast footwork combinations, drops, spins and improvisations. The roots of jit date back to Detroit Jitterbugs in the 1970s.

BAMP Project Presents: Thursday
2018-03-16 18:00 - 2018-03-17 00:00
BAMP Project Presents: Thursday
The New Jersey sextet who released six records, since their formation in 1997 and enjoyed cumulative worldwide sales of over three million units before disbanding in 2011 originally reformed (at two days notice) in 2016 to play the Sound on Sound Festival in Atlanta, although in typical Thursday fashion, it was the charitable element of their performance that enticed them and not the almighty dollar. After triumphant appearances at Riot Fest in Denver and Chicago, 2016 was topped off with magical (sold out) home coming shows at their spiritual home of The Starland Ballroom in NJ.
In 2017, the band undertook a successful 24 date headline tour of the USA with Touche Amore and Basement in tow, as support. Never afraid to wear their hearts (or their politics) on their sleeves the band crisscrossed the USA performing under two side banners that read ‘Refugee’s Welcome Here’ and ‘Protect Immigrant Communities’ in open defiance of the atrocious politics facing their immigrant brothers and sisters. This outspoken stance not surprisingly garnered both controversy and respect, two notions long synonymous with Thursday.
Don’t call it a comeback and don’t call it nostalgia, the band’s singer Geoff succinctly summarizes their reunion:
“‘This coming year, we are going to take the show outside of North America and play all the countries that embraced us so thoroughly “back in the day.” You can probably guess a few of them.
The problem with nostalgia, and memory in general, is that it's a destructive process. Much like recording over the same cassette, again and again, the quality degrades with each pass. Put in a modern way, our memory is like a hard drive: the more you try to fit on it, the further it compresses, lowering the quality of the new memory and the original experience, too.
Rather than endlessly overwriting the original experiences that we shared with so many of you, we've been discussing how and when to wrap up this trip down memory lane. In the next year, we'll be announcing our international tours as well as a final group of dates in the US, that will be totally unlike anything we've ever attempted to do.
Beyond that, we will only return in the event of new music. And new music will only come if we feel it's truly inspired and adds a new dimension to the band. In our humble opinions, there are only a few bands that have put out records worth coming back for. Bands like Portishead and MBV.
