DJ Deeon, Tha Low End Legend (Dance mania)
DJ Deeon is a Chicago dance music legend. Hailing from the Windy City, he is one of the original producers behind the now well established ghetto house sound. Starting on the streets by selling his mixtapes, he soon moved up the ranks and became a taste making selector and producer who has had many cult hits and released on the most respected labels in the scene. A child of the late 60s and early 70s, Deeon experienced a big change in the ethnic make-up of his homeland, and this is something which has always informed his enviable catalogue of work ever since.
Using real drum machine hardware—Roland 808s, 909s and 606s—to make his beats he fomented a gritty, raw, streetwise style that was quick in tempo and robust in attitude. This minimal ghetto style was a spark that ignited the Chicago house and Detroit techno scenes and offered a getaway from the realities of life for those in the Midwest and beyond. Working under many different names, the man born Deeon Boyd had hits like ‘Accelerate’ and put out no fewer than three full length albums as well as many singles and remixes. They came almost exclusively on the Dance Mania label—one of the most legendary of them all—and in all numbered more than 45 EPs. Although health problems led to him to spend some time away from music, nowadays he is back where he belongs and is touring Europe playing all the finest nightclubs with his expressive and energetic DJ sets.

This is a call for all unicorns of all ages, in the City of Portland (and beyond) to gather together at our enchanted green patch: the greenest grass found next to the tennis court at Colonel Summers Park. As unicorns absorb our energy through the sun, we will be ready to spread our wings and soar through the streets of Portland by mid afternoon!
Not everyone will be able to see us, since we are magical beings, but we will be able to see each other! Unicorns barely touch the ground- some even say they merely skim it, so finding the trail of a unicorn is almost impossible... but, we will go on an adventure eastward: up and over the thorns of haw, to the top of the beautiful candy mountain, stopping for vegan soft serve, and back down.
Ride as bare as you dare- just roll around in sparkles or paint your body in rainbows if you want! The shimmery and more glittery, the better. Bike decorations highly encouraged. This is the first weekend of Pedalpalooza so let's get this party started!
Meet at 2 to sparkle up, fly out at 2:15.
Tell your all your sparkly friends! Glitter, sidewalk chalk, dance jams, candy, and hoof high tens provided!
V I O L E N C E - Baltimore MD
A multi-instrumentalist, Olin Caprison composes, produces, and performs for all of VIOLENCE's output. Their compositions are known for their complexity, shifting between and combining multiple styles of music in single songs. This complexity comes from a desire to dissect these styles of music in search of a syncretic narrative of human sound. Lyrical themes resonate from earlier experiences growing up in Baltimore, MD, to meditations on life from primary viewpoints of the intersections between various cultures.

Cameron Shafii is a San Francisco-based composer practicing generative and systems music. His compositions are inflected by software processes involving spectral analysis, convolution, recombination file handling, and stochastic elements. His works do not impose upon the listener any temporal scheme - 'engagement/disengagement' in Greimassian terms - refusing to form what we call a narrative tension. But his music has kinetic movements and climaxes; a functional exploration of sounds that range from microscopic and minimal, to macro and maximal.

KEVIN MORBY
In the Autumn of 2014, Kevin Morby moved to the small Los Angeles neighborhood of Mount Washington. The move would shape Singing Saw, Morby's first album for new label Dead Oceans. Previous tenants at Morby's new home happened to leave an upright piano behind, with a few mysterious pieces of sheet music and an introductory book of common chords stacked on top. Thankful to finally be in one place for an extended spell, Morby, a beginner at the piano, immediately sat at the new instrument and began composing the songs that would form Singing Saw.
Alongside, he began taking long walks through the winding hills and side streets of the neighborhood each night, glimpsing views of both the skyline's sweeping lights and the dark, dried out underbrush of the LA flora. The duality of the city itself began to shape a set of lyrical ideas that he would refine with the sparse accompaniment of piano and acoustic guitar.
What is a singing saw? It is an instrument that creates ethereal sounds, but it is also a tool: basic and practical while also being fearsome, even destructive. Morby watches the singing saw in its eponymous song; that instrument of eerie soft beauty cuts down the flowers in its path and chases after him, while his surroundings mock and dwarf him, Alice in Wonderland style. And in a singing saw, we can understand music as something more powerful than its inviting, delicate sound. No wonder Morby talks about a "songbook" in his head as something he needs to take up the hills so he can "get rid of it." Heavy themes are nothing new for Morby, whose previous records (2013's Harlem River and 2014's Still Life, both released on the Woodsist label) dealt with their own eerie visions and damning prophecies.
Morby opens Singing Saw with "Cut Me Down", a song of tears, debts and a prescient vision of being reduced to nothing. "I Have Been to the Mountain", "Destroyer" and "Black Flowers" continue to explore beauty and freedom, seizing upon the rot that seeps into even the supposedly safest of realms; peace, family and romantic love. By the end of the record on "Water", Morby is literally begging to be put out once and for all, like a fire that might burn all the visions away.
Travels beyond his mountain walks inform songs like "Dorothy", which recounts a trip to Portugal, witnessing a fishing ritual and luxuriating in the aura of a bar light-tinged reunion with old friends The touching innocence of "Ferris Wheel" stands alone in stark simplicity amidst the lush sonic textures of the album. Here, the album is balanced by Morby's signature sweetness and joie de vivre.
The arrangements of Singing Saw trace back to Morby's experience playing in The Complete Last Waltz, a live recreation of The Band's legendary last performance. There, Morby developed a fast friendship with producer/bandleader Sam Cohen (Apollo Sunshine, Yellow Birds), which led Morby to forgo recording in Los Angeles and take the nascent songs of Singing Saw to Isokon Studios in Woodstock, New York. There, in a converted A-frame house, they set about creating a record that would bring a sonic balance, intricacy and depth to match these songs and all that inspired them.
Sam Cohen added a multitude of instrumentation to the record (guitar, bass, drums and keyboard), and were joined by fellow Complete Last Waltz alum Marco Benevento on piano and keyboard, fleshing out Morby's original compositions and upholding the vision for a cohesive piano sound that serves as a touchstone for the entire album. Backup vocalists Hannah Cohen, Lauren Balthrop and Alecia Chakor contribute soaring harmonies; Nick Kinsey (Elvis Perkins) adds drums and percussion; Justin Sullivan, a longtime Morby collaborator and staple of his live band, contributes drums; Oliver Hill and Eliza Bag lift numerous songs with string accompaniments, and Alec Spiegelman on saxophone and flute and Cole Kamen-Green on trumpet bring dramatic swells. Finally, John Andrews (Quilt) adds the eerie lilt of the album's promise, providing saw on the "Cut Me Down" and "Singing Saw".
In the end, Morby fulfills the promise many heard on his first two albums, bringing his most realized effort of songwriting and lyricism to fruition. The songs of Singing Saw reflect the clarity that comes from welcoming change and embracing duality, and the distillation of those elements into an entirely new vision.
JAYE BARTELL
After moving to Buffalo, NY, in 2006, he found the company of the writers and musicians of House Press, a publishing collective made up of friends from Buffalo and Chicago that produced small-edition handmade books and home-recorded albums. He released his first album, Feeling Better, Pilgrim, in 2008, after musician/writer Damian Weber taught him how to record. The album incorporated live incidental sounds (wind, chimes, traffic, birds), some of which were manipulated and processed as loops, but emphasized vocal melody and lyrics above all. A typical performance from this time included guitar and voice accompanied by a portable turntable that played field recordings of bird song, ocean waves, wind and other incidental sounds.
He moved back to Asheville in 2009 and recorded The Dog’s Dinner, which departed from the solo, self-production of his earlier work, and initiated the collaboration among Bartell and other area musicians, especially guitarist and composer Shane Parish of Ahleuchatistas. He collaborated with a number of visual artists in Asheville as well, including Ursula Gullow and Nathanael Roney, who have illustrated a number of Bartell’s albums and continue to influence his songwriting. Bartell continued to write, record, and perform intensively in Asheville for the next few years with Parish and other musician, although most of the recorded output came from live performances.
He recorded the EP Elation with Asheville musician J Seger in 2012, as well as the full-length, full-band album Loyalty in 2013 with Parish, Seger, and Emily Easterly. These two recordings display a more settled, resolved vocal delivery.
Bartell moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn in the fall of 2013, where he began working on the new set of material that will furnish his next release — a set of songs that examine and resist transcendence, dissociation, and departure to “find a home on earth” as Robert Creeley wrote, and take images and inspiration from hot air balloons, Spalding Gray, and the neighborhood around McGolrick Park.
Maher Shalal Hash Baz is a band with the shape of a congregation or theater troupe. For three decades, members have come and go: friends, passersby, devotees, neighborhood children… Tori Kudo, the group director, welcomes absolute beginners, accomplished and nonmusicians alike and directs everyone like actors. He embraces error and imperfection. The work is made out of inadequacy. “Out of laziness, poverty, and ideal.” While this smacks of the social, Kudo speaks otherwise, “I am not a socialist designer for amateurs or shamateurs but just an egoist who is trying to realize my own inspiration.”
At Yale Union, MSHB will play surrounded by Susan Cianciolo’s memory kits, altered sleeping bags, and unanimated soft people—an alchemical trial of some sort. Kudo is coming from Japan for the occasion, long-time collaborators will join him, as well as last-minute newcomers.

Allan Wilson came up in the musical hotbed of the mid-90s Sacramento, CA punk scene. Enthralled as much by disco, pop and hip-hop as by punk's visceral noise attack, he and his close friends formed seminal dance-punk machine !!! (chk chk chk) in 1996. For 18 years, Allan toured the world with !!!, moving on stage between sax, drums, piano, organ, synth, and all manner of percussion, taking breaks only for rehearsals and recording sessions. During the last several years of his tenure with the band, Allan stepped into the role of official !!! afterparty DJ. Since then, he’s played parties in Australia, France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Norway, Belgium, Macedonia, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Chile, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, as well as in cities and festivals all over the US. His mixes have been featured on Vice China, self-titledmag's Needle Exchange, and BBC Radio 1.

An exhibition by Will Elder and Eli Coplan
Will Elder (b. 1989) is a visual artist and a curator at hq Objective in Portland, OR. He writes and initiates poetic scripts and sculpture from a place of longing and of curiosity toward architectural phenomena, urban identity and flows. He graduated with a BFA in Studio Practices from Portland State University in 2015.
Eli Coplan (b. 1992) is an artist and curator with Conduit in Happy Valley, OR. His practice is formed across physical and virtual spaces, considering digital modes of production with an eye toward history and materiality. He received a B.A. from Reed College in 2015.

Rainmaker Artist Residency is pleased to announce "Third Space" -- a two person exhibition featuring the work of Portlandbased artists and Rainmaker residents Bukola Koiki and Kathryn Yancey.
In "Third Space", Koiki and Yancey seek out and investigate hybrid spaces as locations of shifting physical and cultural realities. Through video, sculpture, and performance, the artists examine the often blurred and intangible locations, selves, and identities that constitute their lived, daily experiences.
Mining personal, physical and material based cultural memories, Koiki seeks to explore the immigrant experience of cultural displacement and dislocation by attempting to imbibe through repetition, the Yoruba female rite of passage of tying a gele (a head tie worn for special occasions) and documenting her own repeated attempts to claim a piece of her culture that she was unable to to learn at the feet of her mother, so to speak. Furthering this exploration of dislocation is the use of surrogate versions of the original textiles, made in Tyvek and canvas using experimental techniques in dyeing and image transfer.
Intuitively reacting to urban and domestic spaces, Yancey uses video to explore the formal elements of painting and sculpture. In an attempt to connect inner and outer, virtual and physical, organic and synthetic, Yancey presents digital, time-based media as sculptural form.
About the artists:
Bukola Koiki was born in Lagos, Nigeria and came to study art in the United States as a teen through a series of events involving a secondary school classmate and the American Visa Lottery Program. She received her MFA in Applied Craft + Design from Oregon College of Art and Craft and Pacific Northwest College of Art in May 2015. Her work explores cultural hybridity and cultural dislocation through the lens of memory, language, rituals, and rites of passage, using a variety of mediums. She has exhibited her work in galleries in Portland OR, Morristown, NJ and Gatlinburg, Tennessee and her work has been featured in Surface Design Journal and online in Art21 Magazine and Art Practical. She lives and works in Portland,OR.www.bukolakoiki.com/
Kathryn Yancey generates video, sound and installation work through a multidisciplinary practice that explores the materiality of the poetic voice. She received an MFA in Contemporary Art Practice from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, and a BFA from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon.www.katieyancey.net/

Course Description
This 3-part workshop will focus on the basic understandings of operating and manipulating turntables, mixers, and a power amplifier (PA) in the context of creating a live DJ mix.
We will begin by introducing the basics behind these pieces of gear, both individually and their relationship to each other. Next, our focus will turn to practical listening as we work to comprehend rhythms and the ways our records work together to create a momentum of sound. These two basic tools of DJing – electronic hardware and human intuition – will be reconciled in the final session as we identify systems for sequencing records in a live setting.
We will discuss ways of training our bodies to react to our ears and translate those reactions to the turntable & mixer. Core concepts touched on include beat-matching, identifying tempos, and developing an identity as a dj based on each individual’s tastes and strengths.
Each week, in addition to the guided session, there will be a day of open equipment hours to practice the concepts that were taught in each class.

The sound of summer is coming to Midtown Ballroom on June 1st in the form of eight-time Grammy winning Reggae producer, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Marley. Marley is hitting the road for his 30-city tour which begins next weekend (May 26-July 24) in support of his fourth studio album, Revelation Part II: The Fruit of Life, releasing July 22.
Stephen "Ragga" Marley is the second eldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Rita Marley. He was raised in Kingston, Jamaica and started singing professionally at seven-years old with his elder siblings Ziggy, Sharon and Cedella as The Melody Makers. The singer, songwriter, musician and producer has consecutively landed #1 on the U.S. Billboard Reggae Album Chart for all of his solo albums and has earned a total of eight Grammys for Best Reggae Album. He won this accolade as a solo artist for Mind Control, Mind Control Acoustic and Revelation Part I: The Root of Life, as producer for Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley’s Half Way Tree and Welcome To Jamrock and as a member of Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers for Conscious Party, One Bright Day and Fallen Is Babylon. The multi-talented artist has been steadily releasing music since his last album Revelation Part I: The Root of Life (2011) and is gearing up for his Spring 2016 album Revelation Part II: The Fruit of Life. Off the album, he has two new songs available on iTunes, including "Rock Stone" ft. Capleton & Sizzla and "Ghetto Boy " ft. Bounty Killer & Cobra (which captures the perpetuating cycle of violence and crime that can start from an early age). Marley shines as a live performer, beaming with the color and spirit of modern Reggae.

It's the 1st Annual Portland Horror Film Festival, featuring the very best independent horror from all genres of cinematic terror, from the folks behind the Portland H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival and Zompire: The Undead Film Festival. From supernatural horror to dark fantasy and everything in between. You might see some Cosmic Horror, you might see some Zombies and Vampires, but you’ll also probably see monsters from outer space, demons, devils, cabins in the woods, possession, cannibals, parallel dimensions, and anything else that might go bump in the aisles.
More importantly, you’ll get a look at terror you won’t likely ever see elsewhere, made by the new faces of horror from across the planet. How would you like to be there to see the newest horrors from not only Europe, but from Asia and the Middle East? This is stuff you’re not going to see at the multiplex.
Having been the subject and willing conspirator of many intentional lies planted in Sonic Youth bios over the years, I know first hand the way album lore can bend reality to its truth. After the infamous Byron Coley originated the SY "Trilogy" myth in the Murray Street bio, we had no choice but to fulfill those expectations with Sonic Nurse. "Why did you decide to make a trilogy?" was always the first question asked in interviews around that time.

Tim Heidecker was born and raised in Allentown, PA. As a freshman film student at Temple University he met Eric Wareheim. After graduation they continued to work together on short films and strange bits of comedic nonsense. One of their first pieces was Tom Goes to The Mayor, which made its way into various film festivals. Fueled by Tom’s success Tim and Eric began sending their tapes to their comedic heroes in Hollywood. One of those recipient’s being Bob Odenkirk who loved what he saw and helped to develop their ideas into a TV show. Through a chance meeting they were able to get their tapes to the senior vice president of Adult Swim, Mike Lazzo. He loved the stuff and they were immediately given the funds for development. Tim and Eric used some of the money to move to Hollywood where they worked on the show for a two season, 30 episode run. Tim later went on to again collaborate with Eric Wareheim on their next show, the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Which aired five seasons on Cartoon Network. Tim and Eric also created a spin off show starring John C. Reilly called Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule, which has run for two seasons. Tim has also collaborated with Eric on big budget commercials for brands like Old Spice, Red Stripe, and Boost Mobile. In 2012 Tim co-wrote, directed, and starred in his first feature film, Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, which was produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. Tim’s most recent collaboration with Eric was for an anthology series, Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories. Season two premiered in November of 2015 with two new half hour specials for Adult Swim. The series included guest stars such as John C. Reilly, Jason Schwartzman, and Zach Galifianakis in a dark stylistic departure from their usual comedy shows. Tim also has a musical side project Heidecker & Wood with Davin Wood, the composer of all things Tim and Eric. Heidecker & Wood's second album "Some Things Never Stay The Same" was released in November of 2013 and they continue to play live shows and work on new music together.
