IgNight is a 3 day fire flow celebration in Southern California, designed to provide a fun, educational and community environment for spinners from all over the world. At least 7 classes going on simultaneously at all times of the day and an awesome DJ line up for a nightly open spin jam. Fire enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to attend in this communal opportunity for growth and development as a fire artist. Hundreds of artists will gather to learn, teach, and advance together in the flow arts.

Astronomy exhibits, Green Technology and a Wellness Center will create an environment where access to mind expanding knowledge will help keep you in the flow...

Flow |flō| noun [in sing. ]
the action or fact of moving along in a steady, continuous stream...

Flow is the state of optimal experience that occurs when your body, mind, and spirit are in dynamic balance. It's what's happening when the Now is so compelling that everything else fades away. Ego and fear dissolve in the perfect moment, time slows down, and whatever you're doing becomes a meditation. Flow toes the fine line between controlling your actions and obeying your commands. You know when you're in the flow, and flowing is half the battle. Where will and physics intersect, we hone our own flow.

IgNight is a participatory event that aims to draw the essence of community in everyone. Everyone volunteers a couple of hours to transform this event into a collaborative experience. Oftentimes, volunteering is the best way to meet and make epic friends. And it guarantees that YOU will share in the pleasure of making this event special. Prepare to shine brightly!

Teachers:
Thomas Johansson (Sweden)
Keith Marshall (Scotland)
Ronan McLoughlin (Ireland)
Lester Mooney (Fire Groove)
Kamala Mathis (Fire Groove)
Siri Khalsa (Fire Groove)
Marvin Ong (Los Angeles)
Jennifer Ong (Los Angeles)
Anna Maltese (Los Angeles)

Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza began at a little cafe on the shore of the island. DJs would play beautiful world and house music, what we now call mid and down-tempo, until the sun gave way to the night. Then the music would ramp up to a blistering hot house party at the beach!

Cafe Del Mar in Malibu is that same amazing vibe! Housed at the extraordinary location at the sand in Point Dume... The Sunset Restaurant... is a perfect fit! This event is poetry and party all rolled into one...

...and it is FREE!!!

For this particular date( May 10th), Carlos Buti is joining forces with veteran EDM scene producers Mike Insane (Ninja Skillz, LA) and Juicy (of Kundalini Lounge fame) to bring an infusion of the LA, OC, and SD dance community out to experience Malibu at Sunset!

The location is breath taking and we are confident that the talented lineup will be equally stunning.

Co-Founder of "Shade", PORTER TINSLEY is a house standard in LA. The Shade parties are must attend events! www.shadeparties.com

ERIK NELSON, (F.A.M.I.L.Y.) is a mainstay in the underground house scene. Has been selecting the tastiest house music in LA for over 7 years! https://www.facebook.com/FriendsandMusicILoveYou

MICHAEL INSANE (Ninja Skillz), had been on the decks for over 20 years, a fixture in the Burner scene, Mike has also held residencies on Frequency 104.7 FM and KCSC. www.ninjaskillz.net

Joining him on live Guitar is EL CHINO, a core member of T'Gon and Project Alma, and a graduate of the famous Berklee College of Music, who has played coast to coast!
www.projectalma.org/

There is only one man who can bring the SEXY! JACQUES THE RIPPER The co-creator of The Kundalini Lounge, his savory mix of house music is legendary for two things, making every man feel like the coolest guy in the room and making the women swoon to his beats!

░ ▒ ▓ █ Friday May 18th, 2012 -Ninja Skillz presents TESLA'S LAIR
░ ▒ ▓ █ Bookmark this page here: http://bit.ly/teslas-lair

A night of electroswing and jazzy house held in the Gallery of the old Los Angeles Stock Exchange building.

View the full-size flyer here: http://bit.ly/K9bOtN

Say you are on the "Ninja Skillz List" at the door for FREE entrance before 10:30pm or $15 before midnight.

$20 otherwise.

1920's attire requested to make time travelers feel at home. No shorts please.

10pm-2:30am :: 21+ only w/ ID

Located at:
618 S. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014

░ ▒ ▓ █ Enter our alternate history.

In May of 1929, construction of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange building was nearing completion. Its designers and architects knew that once doors opened for trading, they might not be able to enjoy the building recreationally. Plans were made. A solar eclipse was occurring elsewhere in the world and it seemed like as good reason as any to celebrate. Although Prohibition was in full effect, the Gallery of the building was set to be transformed into a speakeasy.

One of the invited guests was a mischievous filmmaker named Nathaniel Hornblower who was also a heavy investor in Nikola Tesla. He had accumulated some early versions of Tesla's inventions for use as special effects in his movies, and he had the unfortunate habit of using them recklessly for his own personal entertainment. He urged those running the speakeasy to name it "Tesla's Lair" for the night, and he was determined to demonstrate Tesla's machines at the exact moment the solar eclipse was happening elsewhere in the world. They agreed.
