(limited $15, $20 presale, $25 at door; more info). The up-and-coming Brooklyn-based production team Freek Factory hosts the NYC return of Bassnectar (Lorin Ashton) on Oct. 7th, joined by an international and bi-coastal cadre of dance floor destroyers, for an epic affair celebrating therelease of his double CD tour de force.

From undulating midtempo beats to cut up hyp-hop; driving breakbeat to sultry downtempo, angelic melodics meet bassline perversion on Mesmerizing the Ultra. Stellar production coincides with a strong political awareness; demonstrating an unwavering dedication to underground subversion. The list of collaborators and remixers on the album include Freq Nasty, Buckethead, KRS One, Mumia Abu Jamal, Noam Chomsky, STS9, Kraddy, Sayr and Kang from the String Cheese Incident as well as a host of talented underground MCs and producers. Freek Factory is proud to host the official New York City debut of this exciting new material.

In their outlandish freak style and for one night only, the Freek Factory posse will transform 251 West 30th Street (formerly Downtime) into a heathen's den of outerworldly delights. Resident creatrix Sequoia Emmanuelle will add her vaunted space beautification skills to the effort. Tiggrrr Fearless and the ever vital Freek Factory Dancers will be afoot to aid in the instigation of delightful madness, adorned in the crafted couture of Boring Inc. and the radical hair creations of Dana Divine.

Freshly back from Black Rock City, Nevada; Disorient will add a Glam-tech sensibility to the production as only they can, bending your perceptions with inflatables and things that go blink in the night. SF based visual artist Satsi will send the event into orbit with his mind-altering optical magic.
