FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON and FREAKY CHAKRA invited to join Lollapalooza
companion ENIT Festival
Astralwerks recording artists Future Sound Of London and Freaky Chakra have
been invited to join the lineup of the ENIT Festival. ENIT is an all-night
electronic dance music event being held August 10-18 in four cities during
the Lollapalooza tour - Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in
conjunction with Lollapalooza '95. Located in a venue away from the
Lollapalooza Main Stage, ENIT begins once main stage headliner Sonic Youth
ends. The brainchild of Lollapalooza co-founder Perry Farrell, ENIT is a
proverbial 'gathering of the tribes,' combining live music, DJ's, dancing,
and avant-garde film into a full-on multimedia extravaganza.
Multimedia masterminds, Future Sound Of London will be screening Teachings
From The Electronic Brain, a 20-minute film created by the band in
collaboration with graphic artist Buggy G. Riphead to accompany their
recently re-released ISDN album. Culled from Future Sound of London's live
broadcasts last year via the Integrated Services Digital Network, the initial
limited edition pressing of ISDN sold out within three days of release
(20,000 copies worldwide).
San Francisco-based producer/remixer Freaky Chakra has quickly risen through
the ranks as one of the best up-and-coming American talents in underground
dance music. Freaky Chakra's debut full-length album, Lowdown Motivator,
released this spring on Astralwerks, was met with overwhelming worldwide
acclaim from dance music press, DJ's, and partygoers alike for his unique
flavor that stands apart from his West Coast counterparts. Live, Freaky
Chakra will be joined by fellow Bay Area cohort Single Cell Orchestra (billed
as Freaky Chakra vs. Single Cell Orchestra) in a soundclash of analog
electronics, funky beats, and soundtrack soundscapes.
Accompanying Future Sound Of London and Freaky Chakra on the festival dates
are Moby, ex-porno-star-turned-techno-diva-DJ Traci Lords, DJ Keoki,
Farrell's band Porno For Pyros (Dallas and Phoenix only), U.K. ethno-techno
experimentalist Banco de Gaia, and German wunder DJ Sven Vath (Los Angeles
and San Francisco only).
