Musical Artists and Dj's for Earthdance Vancouver 2008 (Daytime at Stanley Park-Night time line up TBA)

Ecko Atlantis (vocalist)

Ecko Atlantis is a believer in dreams with words to be heard, as she sings out to you. Speaking the truth with a soul that flows, and reaching for the stars with the world at heart, she echoes the wisdom of our ancient ways. Currently calling home the Sunshine Coast, she makes for a means to live her dreams of performing, forever learning and growing.

Dj Corrior (Tribal Harmonix)

Corrior is part of a movement of people who are taking the party to the next level. Tribal dance culture is being used as a catalyst for building and connecting community. This is a powerful form of activism, where celebration is the unifying force. Corrior is among those who are taking their beats to the streets.

Corrior is passionate about all beats broken. Breakbeats, both old and nu-school, are Corrior's prime tools for energizing dance floors, with her back pockets full of funk, hip-hop, grime, glitch, dubstep, 2-step, IDM, and other surprises. Her relationship with turntables and vinyl records is over a decade strong, and the love just keeps getting stronger.

Dj Heidrogen (Entheos Festival)

Dj Ash ( Beats Without Borders, Shakti Lounge, Temple ov Intention)

While breath-work is the most essential component to the trance dance, music is the landscape by which traveler's journey. The destination is silent dissolution, but the path is sonic. Ashkan aka DJ Ash has developed his unique niche in this aural realm, gathering the world's great traditional and electronic music for intentional gatherings. Ashkan's insightful ears lend a forward-thinking dynamic to modern ceremony: the DJ as techno shaman. His shamanic tribal fusion sounds facilitate your mystical sacred experience on the dance floor.

We are all born from a woman and birthed from the great womb. Gaia is the grain we eat daily, she is the night sky, and she is the waters that surround us at birth. Honoring mother earth & sacred nature is a key in order to live life fully and holistically. Dance is appreciation of Mother Earth. Dance for her.

Dj/Producer Knowa KnowOne

(Street Ritual, Cyphertown - SF)

HipHop, Breakbeats, Dubstep, and Reggae all fuse together into a style completely unique, with influences from all over the world, ethnic and tribal layered beats with bass heavy dance floor appeal. Knowa frequently features MCs and live musicians, such as Souleye, SyDeFx and Taylor Maiden Space.
