MOUNTAIN EYES :: (Rainbow Cathedral)
Co-founder of the Rainbow Cathedral, Mountain Eyes is known for his deep, ethno-infused blend of progressive house, trance, and psy. Between 2005-2010 he helped create countless community-focused dance events, including the yearly Love Portal, Temple of Dance, & Revival events, and the Re-Connect series, for all of which he was a resident DJ. In 2010, he helped found the Moon Collective and co-created a year's lineup of monthly intentional dance events as a resident for Full Moon Medicine and a frequent guest of the Lunar Intentions series. More recently he has retreated to a cave in the woods, gathering his strength & readying for his return to the decks.
Close your eyes, open your heart, and get ready to go on a journey.

WOOKIE :: Lost and Found
Wookie (a.k.a. Shawn Irvine) has been an integral part of the Victoria electronic music scene since 1998, both as a DJ and a promoter. Wookie's music blends the best of Techno and House, but also adds a nice Grindy Progressive edge, creating a killer sound with deadly results. Wookie knows all about Dirty Beats, having been a Soundwave Surfshack resident for years and holding the weekly Sweatshop residency at Hush with Beaks McGavin and Joshua for 2 years. Wookie has played alongside the likes of Adham Shaikh and Deko-ze, has been a Spec resident since 2002 and a Lost and Found resident DJ since 2004. Wookie also performed at The Victoria Electronic Music Festival with D.J. Joshua this past August for a very happy crowd!! One thing is for certain - Wookie knows how to bring it.

DJ ROWAN :: ... (Sunset Labs,Base Lounge)
Rowan is a warrior of liquid rhythms and deep soulful grooves that sublimate into tangible, impermanent frequencies on the dance floor in explosions of ethereal inspiration. Comfortable in the fringes of reality, readily passing between worlds in search of deep, heart-opening and inspiring dance music, Rowan is equipped with a diverse palette of genres that find form in co-creation with the dancefloor.
Regularly found hosting and performing with legendary musical nomads who bring sounds from far off lands, this dj/promoter/producer is committed to high-vibrational dance experiences and consistently delivers tightly mixed and expertly programmed sets at a variety of tempos.
Sometimes venturing into the sub-frequencies in the dub, glitch genres, but more frequently traversing the depths of hypnotic quadraphonic tribal funk. Into this pixelated tapestry of electronic, android bleeps and triangle waves, Rowan frequently interweaves a subtle cultural narrative of exotic spices, tribal drums and organic vibrations.
