Description
Secret Psychedelica's 4th annual Scorpio psytrance party will be the San Francisco landing spot for Etnica's 30 Year Anniversary Tour!
Etnica are pioneers of the global phenomenon that is psychedelic trance as doyens and undisputed innovators, trailblazing the planet with their charismatic live performances at many of the world's top events. Simply put, they are among the most acclaimed artists of their kind with a devoted following since their glorious acid house days. Quintessentially Mediterranean yet utterly universal, the romantic and evocative allure of their sci-fi imbued compositions forged a blueprint for the genre during the 'Golden Era' of Goa trance. The charm in their productions lie in the grandiose arrangements as well as the sonic minutiae that pepper and constellate each of their tracks. Etnica have gone on to release an imposing array of classics starting with their debut album 'the Juggling Alchemist Under the Blacklight' and sophomore album 'Alien Protein' followed by five tone setting LPs and countless singles on legendary psytrance labels Blue Room Releases, Spirit Zone, and Dragonfly Records to name just a few. The appeal of Etnica's music has also led to collaborations with Ferrari, Ducati, and Sony. Soundtrack and sound designs for the former two Italian titans and licensed tunes for the latter to video games including Grand Turismo. When the time comes for Etnica to blast timeless classics and bust out new works at Scorpio 2024, will you be ready for a close encounter of the psychedelic kind that's been 30 years in the making?
Veteran Scorpio DJs Devon and DJ Clairity will get the energy charged up in the psytrance room so you'll want be on the dance floor right as everything begins. A native of Minnesota, Devon discovered Goa trance in 1997 which led him down the path of DJing, event promotions, and eventually to his current job as manager of a world renown club in San Francisco. His musical tastes would expand past psychedelic trance and Devon would go on to start the monthly parties Meat and Turbo Drive which pushed the heavy beats of industrial music and the retro sounds of synthwave respectively. For Scorpio 2024, Devon will go back to his roots and spin an old school Goa set. DJ Clairity is a North Bay transplant but has since established herself as one of San Francisco's premiere DJs in her own right and as half of the duo, Isolator. She has also gone on to host various techno nights in the City including her latest venture, On Set. The experience these two Scorpios have accumulated over the years translate to precisely curated sets that subconsciously grab hold of anyone that comes within range.
The second room brings back past Scorpio artists HardkorNate, Omega11xx, and Tim Stephanic with their dark and cryptic flavors of techno and freeform. Added to the mix will be DJ Chris for his debut Secret Psychedelica appearance. Founder of the Audio Alchemy shows and resident DJ for Happy Kids since 2000, DJ Chris will bring his signature tech-house sounds from Redding to the City.
