Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion

2007-11-27T10:41:06Z

Hi Folks,
We recently released our debut album. It's a mix of electronic and ethnic/arabian styles, some downtempo, and some eastern european influences also. Just thinking it might be of interest to the folks in this tribe who like this kind of material and vibe.

There's four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

Have a listen and see what you think. Sorry for the self promotion.

Many thanks,

I'm spinning at Triple Power on Friday

2007-10-11T06:42:16Z

Hey, i'll be spinning at one of my favorite events ever - TRIPLE POWER on Friday at Il Pirata.
Come out if you can. It's always a fun night.

Here's the scoop:

Yes kids, it's time for another installment of Triple Power. If you are wondering what that means ... well you have not been to one of our events!! Experience Octoberesque - indulge in our variety of musical styles and sexy performances. Revel in the good vibes of Il Pirata - a great little space with a big sound system, easy parking, friendly bartenders and 2 outdoor patios. What more do you really need?

This month’s guest DJ:
Shissla :: House of Lotus
Shissla has been spinning his unique mix of funky breaks and house in SF and abroad for over 8 years, during that time, he's played with some of the biggest names in breaks including Adam Freeland, Lee Coombs, the Drumattic Twins, Freq Nasty, Rogue Element and Hybrid among others. Part the House of Lotus Burning Man camp, Shissla has also spent time throwing down with hs friends the SpaceCowboys and DeepEnd. In addition to his DJ residency at the DeYoung museum, Shissla has worked with a number of arts organizations and non-profits in SF including SFMOMA, The Legion of Honor, ArtSpan, VisualAid, SF Center for the Book, Room to Read and his own interactive art party: pARTicipate.

Amar :: Electric Vardo - HIP’n’BASS
Amar is amongst a handful of local DJs whose taste cuts a path through an abundance of musical selections and leads dancefloors into a hypnotic sway like snakes before the charmer. In this instance the muse is a masala that brews sounds from the Middle East and Balkans with rhythms of the Asian underground and electric Brazilian vibes. Whether its breaks, bhangra, house, drum & bass or downtempo the global nature of Amar's sets bridges a multi-culti span from the world to the Bay Area.

Resident DJ
GIAMMA :: back in town from Milan where he played at the Dolce & Gabbana Gold Club

Special Burlesque Performance:
Coconut Creme :: Fruit Cocktail Entertainment
She is nuts.... Coconuts! Goddess of slapstick burlesque vaudevillian theater. "A performance by Miss Coconuts leaves the audience dazzled and screaming for more. This creative performer lures and entices her audience while causing them to laugh hysterically. She channels the spirits of Gilda Radner, Mae West and Liza Minelli. A must-see performer of super high energy, side-splitting, innovative numbers."

Get Lucky @
<<< TRIPLE POWER >>>
Friday, July 13th

On Friday the 13th, we'll generate some serious juju to make it your lucky day. This month, we've got some nasty tech funk and bombass beats from local and national DJ magic makers whose voodoo will take you higher. Spinning the wheels of fortune...

Guest DJs:
MANCUB :: Space Cowboys
Top Ten in the Nitevibe DJ Dreamteam, Mancub's boundless genre jumping has set him apart in the scene. With all things funky, never slunky (& sometimes nasty), his belly rubbin beats and feel good music turn the mother out (and I don't mean yo mama).

DJ BUTTERFACE (NYC) :: vinylholic, breaksfm
Bumpin, breaky goodness. DJ Butterface has torn up NYC with his crunky, phat & phunky breaks to get the grind on and make you sweat like you were on steroids. With many mad remix releases and crazy command of the decks, he'll spread the love like hot butter on toast.

DJ CORBIN DOOLEY (Tuscon.AZ) :: Bikiniwax Records
For the past 15 years, he's made his mark DJing, producing, and raising up music on all levels. Working with The Smiths, Trent Reznor, Run-DMC, and others led him to eventually founding his own labels in Supercell Records and Bikiniwax & Vinylholic. With many musical influences and much history, the decks aren't going to know what hit 'em.

Resident DJ:
GIAMMA
Funky tech, electro ecstatic boom, fun booty breaks, and much stylee for the mugshot.

Resident performer:
SOOOZHYQ on the dope doumbec :: www.sooozhyq.com

7/7: Electric Vardo Presents: Licky!

2007-07-05T21:54:33Z

Electric Vardo Presents: Licky
Saturday, July 7
Doors: 10 p
Show: 10:30ish
$10-20 sliding scale
Il Pirata
2007 16th at Portrero, SF
www.electricvardo.com

Superstar Dance Lineup:
Azure
Clandestine
Dhol Rhythms
Evil Eye Belly Dance
Frederique
Freyja
Red Lotus
Plus a hula show!

DJs
Amar of Electric Vardo
Jimmy Love of Nonstop Bhangra

Licorice (Licky to his friends) is a beautiful 7-year old kitty; he is kind, gentle, and playful, and loves his "mom" Andra so much he'll let her dress him up as a bee (or the pope)…as long as there are treats afterwards, of course! You may know Andra from her tenures in FatChanceBellyDance, Ultra Gypsy, or most recently Azure Tribal Belly Dance.
Licky recently became very ill; after 2 MRIs, blood tests, a vet switch, exploratory surgery, and an extended stay in ICU, he is home now and feeling much better. Unfortunately, all of that added up to a monstrous vet bill: about $10,000! Andra is a preschool teacher and is also getting married in a few months, so Andra's closest friends have banded together to help out with the bill.
What better way to do so than to throw a dance benefit? We have an amazing dance lineup featuring some of the Bay Area's finest in belly dance, bhangra, and hula, plus 2 kickass DJs, and a raffle with fabulous prizes. Andra is performing twice: with the hula group, and with Azure. She and Licky thank you from the bottom of their hearts!

Hope you can make it out. For those kind souls who can't make it, but offered to donate anyway, here's the Paypal information:

Go to www.paypal.com
log in to your existing account or create an account (Paypal will let you pay with a credit or debit card)
go to the "Send Money" tab at the top of the page
enter the email address: dmfn@excite.com
enter the amount you'd like to donate
click "continue"
Paypal will take you through the steps from there. Make sure you write "Licky Donation" or something similar in the subject line or comments field.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Dancers, women, Beware: Stalker on tribe & myspace

2006-07-17T20:34:49Z

Some of you may have seen this already, but just in case not ... our good friend Tim has posted this on tribe and myspace and I feel the need to make sure Everybody is aware, so Please pass this on where you can.

In addition, I read in some of the posts that he has been trying to teach ME drumming after 6 weeks of learning himself.
Seriously, be Careful and have NOTHING to do with this guy.

From Tim:
This is addressed mainly to my wonderful dancer friends here, but is useful for everyone.

Some of you may know that an individual has been haunting Tribe and the Bay Area belly dance scene for the last few months. He has approached and propositioned dozens of dancers both locally, and nationwide (online), upsetting many (including friends of mine), and even scaring a few with his stalker-like behavior.

He finds women's phone numbers, home addresses, emails, etc., and starts contacting them, often repeatedly.

There has been considerable discussion about him on Tribe, with many women coming forward with horror stories about his unwanted attention

You can read the full details here:

http://mideastpercussion.tribe.net/thread/dac187d1-5662-4b26-8a41-8a56cfa37fe9

(he's the one who started this thread, get a good look and avoid him if you see him locally)

http://bellydancebiz.tribe.net/thread/5c345e83-e61b-441c-b82a-b560642ab2b3

(various people's reactions to him)

Here is his MySpace profile:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=21558109

Needless to say, do NOT accept a friend invite from this man, do not correspond with him at all.

Various dancers are looking into taking appropriate action, and the hope is that he will be gone from Myspace and Tribe soon. In the mean time, have nothing to do with him.

This kind of thing really makes my blood boil, and I felt it was necessary to put out a warning, since I have a large number of dancer friends. Please pass this on to everyone, even non-dancers!

Amar (yeah, me! :) spinning June 16, 17, 23, 30 - Berkeley Dance Jam, Nonstop Bhangra, Triple Power, Electric Vardo

2006-06-18T20:27:44Z

I'm in the middle of a really exciting month.

Started out with a night in Harbin, last Tuesday, the first of my "first Tuesdays" "Magical Dance" at Harbin Hot Springs. I'll be there every first Tuesday for the rest of the year.

Friday night I drove up to Shasta Gathering at Stewart Mineral Springs. Played in the Abstract Lounge on Friday with DJ Layla.

This, after a month travelling to hawaii and oregon, and Tribal Fest ... not a bad way to spring into summer.

Friday June 16: Berkeley Dance Jam

Saturday June 17: Nonstop Bhangra - Rickshaw Stop - www.nonstopbhangra.com

Friday June 23: Triple Power - Shine - www.triplepower.org

Friday June 30: Electric Vardo - Club Six - www.electricvardo.com

So, coming up this Friday will be my first night at Berkeley Dance Jam (Thanks to DJ Dragonfy & Rhythmystic for recommending me). I'll be spinning a downtempo set in the warm room. 8:30pm-12:30pm.

Then, Saturday i'll be with my homies Jimmy, Vicki, Suman & the Dhol Rhythms crew, plus special guest in the house from 'Kollektiv' Chicago - Radiohiro.
Glad to be connecting with Radiohiro again after sharing the decks at Worldly.
I Highly recommend checking out the Nonstop Bhangra nights. They've become somewhat of a phenomenon - while holding down a tight family feel with a diverse audience really adding to the vibe of the night. This is not your typical desi party. The crew have created a night that has seriously diversified bhangra by bringing in some of the most unique DJs from different genres to express their vision of bhangra. It's been pretty crazy sweet. We've had some wicked sets by DJ Sep, J Boogie, Maneesh the Twister, and meny others bringing in their own unique styles to the bhangra dance floor.
Come early for a free bhangra lesson with Vicki.

I've become a Triple Power Junkie. Me and Susie (SooozhyQ) both - we can't get enough.
Giamma gave me the opportunity to spin at their Nextaid Benefit a few months back - I had an awesome time spinning - with Mara on vocals with me - and am Extra excited about this upcoming one. I'll be spinning an opening set with SooozhyQ on doumbek, we'll have Frederique in the haus, and DJ Dragonfly + Breakbeat Buddha. DJ Dragonfly was my first inspiration that sparked my brain to get into the Global DJ culture and also gave me numerous opportunities, introduced me to many great people who in turn introduced me to more. I'm really excited to be on the bill again with him - and of course with Giamma.
"i'm not worthy, i'm not worthy".
I'm with a bunch of my favorite people - Yeay.

Ending the month - I get to host the folks who 'Massivized' (don't check the dictionary) the Asian Underground scene in SF, and are making their way through NYC, Vancouver, and the UK in their global massive takeover. This is going to be a very special night. We have the Original Dhamaal soundsystem DJs together again at their home - Club Six. Dhruva is back in town on tour with Sub Swara. Our homie Sunder will be joining us too, along with Haj from the Freek Factory in NY. The 3 of them will bump, scratch & bang up the dancefloor with a Sub Swara live set, surrounded by Dhamaal brothers Maneesh the Twister & Janaka Selekta.
I'll be opening the night, followed by Kush Arora (been fortunate to be connecting with this amazing artist) and dance performances by the one and only Frederique (drum roll...) and Haven, who we've succesfully managed to nab upon her arrival from Arizona. I'm so glad we have Haven. You will be to when you see her dance.

I hope everybody enjoyed themselves and had a Great time. I sure did, and felt a great vibe with all of you.

I really thank you for your support.

To everybody who came to support and dance, to all of the performers, to the staff at Club Six, to all of the Dhamaal Sights & Sounds festival crews who helped spread the word and gave their love and energy to us in preparing for the night - You are all angels and our big extended family. I love you.

You are all, in a big way, what has made Electric Vardo what it is.

posted in Electric Vardo - Queen Harish + Coleena - 5 replies

did everyone get in ok?

2006-04-10T01:15:00Z

And one more request for feedback.

This was our first night at Club Six, and we did our show in the new space, The Dark Room, which is next door to the original club six. A concern came up when I got a call the day after the show from a friend who mistakenly went next door (to the original club six rooms) and was dissapointed, wondering why we were not there.

I am curious if anybody else went into the wrong entrance and was not informed by security or door staf next door that Electric Vardo was in the Dark Room, next door.

I'm sorry if you went next door and missed our show.
Please do let me know if this did happen to you.

The Nekyia Debuts New Work on Saturday

2006-01-26T19:09:41Z

The Nekyia Presents Spectacle & Bacchanalia
The Hotel Utah
Saturday January 28th, 9pm
500 4th Street @ Bryant, San Francisco
Doors at 9:30pm
$13 Suggested Donation
Performers include Kristina’s saucy student troupe, Spice Rack; the gorgeous and captivating Elizabeth Strong accompanied by the musical stylings of the legendary Dan Cantrell; raucous rump-shaking Balkan brass band, The Brass Menagerie; and The Nekyia featuring original music from Scott Sterling (aka Drumspyder), choreography and dance from Kristina Cañizares, and The Nekyia debut of Aliena and Summer.

It is with unparalleled excitement, pride, and humility that I count down the final days until The Nekyia's first event: Spectacle & Bacchanalia, this Saturday evening at The Hotel Utah (details after the manifesto).

This event is the debut of a larger vision for The Nekyia, with multiple dancers, all-original music, and a clearer mission for our creation. This mission is monstrously ambitious (those who know Scott and me won’t be surprised at all to hear that). It is nothing less that the complete transformation of our human consciousness, the seemingly impossible leap into a new realm of connection, wisdom, awareness, and joy.

Being awake in the darkness is terrifying if you are alone, but we are not alone. Through art, dance, music, and beauty we can awaken together, discovering the truth that is hidden in our bodies and the joy that is too often buried by fear and isolation. This is the joy that will sustain us in our fight to preserve the world we love.

We call it Ecstatic Tribalista Groove. Ecstatic, because it comes from an intensity of emotion and energy that is larger than ourselves. Tribalista, because we are just a small part of an international tribe that is evolving parallel to us. Groove, because in the words of the feminist revolutionary Emma Goldman, “If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution!”

So please, come and join us. The event will raise funds needed to continue building the company and will bring together some of the great talents in our community. It will be rockin’, sexy, sweaty, raw, bumpin’ inspiration.

Besos,
Kristina

New Year's Eve Benefit Party

2006-01-26T01:34:23Z

Dec. 31 - Electric Vardo presents:
A Benefit Party on NYE for Kashmir Earthquake Victims
DJ Amar + Special Guests
New Delhi Restaurant
Tix $20 advance / $25 at door (additional donations welcome)

Thank you all who came out and supported the Dec. 2 benefit at Ashkenaz with Sila and the Afrofunk Experience, Frederique, Amar, Jim Santi Owen, Freyja and DJ Zen Mystic.

New Years eve will be a Special night Celebrating the new year and supporting positive causes.

We have set up the night in a way to make it accessible for all. We are asking $20-25 (instead of the usual $40-75+ that most parties charge which will go toward helping those in dire need. A group of musicians, dancers and DJs are coming together to make this night happen, to make it special for you and for those people in the freezing cold himalayas with no homes, no heating, little food and a need for warmth.

Let's reach out hearts out this year to support a worthy cause - whether it's this party or another.

The mission of this night is to combine a Fun-filled night and have it be more meaningful than it being 'just a party'.

The lineup is in the works, and will be posted here soon.
Tix will be available online shortly. I'll post when they are onsale.

We are also hosting a warm-clothing-and-blanket drive that night, so please bring something warm from your garage or closet that you can do without, and we'll send it.

Party is a New Delhi Restaurant, 10pm-2am
160 Ellis St. San Francisco.

You can make dinner reservations at the restaurant as well by visiting www.newdelhirestaurant.com
Food will be served late.
