DETAILS: "Foreplay" will get you excited for Love Parade by bringing
together an unreal collection of West Coast tribal/breaks/house/world
talent on 4 soundsystems. Featuring some of the leading DJ's in
California's world/breaks scene and the unparalleled intensity of the
Mutaytor, Foreplay promises to be a legendary meeting of the beats.
The 25 piece music/dance/performance art behomth known as the
Mutaytor is a part hip-grinding, techno/retro-funk, part audience-
interactive, post-modern circus, the first durable chunk of American
music to emerge from the Burning Man subculture. Combining
drastically advanced elements of the Blue Man Group, Parliament-
Funkadelic, the Crystal Method and Crash Worship, Mutaytor provides
riotous and surreal entertainment for everyone. The sound is tight
with over 100 drums sounding like one sinstrument, the show manic,
and the vibe all-inclusively friendly.

The brainchild of Brazilian natives Alex Koberle and Emiliano
Benevides and Americano bassist Carl Remde, Bat Makumba is the
crossroads between the traditional music of their equatorial homeland
and the punk, rock and funk influences of the U.S. locals to San
Francisco. Bat Makumba's show is a hip renegade carnival party full
of tropicalia tinged ska, punk-influenced forro, and rock-infused
samba. DJ Laird has quickly become one of the Bay Area's most sought
after DJ's being named to the coveted "Nitevibe Dreamteam" svereal
years running. Janaka [Selekta] is the founder of Dhamaal, SF's
premier South Asian arts collective, and a star in his own right.
Scratch n Sniff is an explosive 4-turntable breakbeat project that
combines SJ Littlewood's beats with local funk maven Motion Potion's
sampling and turntable skills. Similarly, Hypnomadic combines the
skills of world beat legend Soulsalaam with producer Process Rebel.
David Starfire is the founder of LA's "Starfire Records" and is one
of the most sought-after underground DJ producers on the West Coast.
