Soulights Studio was created to provide a physical facility for accommodation
of a living quarters, an art studio, and a performance space configured
around my color organ invention, "The Arc, a Soniclight Synthesizer." My studio's
multifaceted nature reflects the multimedia qualities of my own nature—yearning

word. Soulights Studio is the current home for my ongoing research and
development of Visual Music—an evolving work that will be continually shaped both by
technology and my own personal cosmology.

Begins at 2nd & Market
Ends at the Civic Center Plaza

We are proud to announce that San Francisco will once again be home to
America's largest dance music celebration. The event is being produced by the same
core team that threw the Loveparade San Francisco events in 2004 and '05. This
free Electronic Music Parade and Festival will not bear the name Loveparade
this year, as the Loveparade Berlin organization did not renew any of their
worldwide licenses not already under contract so they could focus on their own
event this July, the first Love Parade Berlin in 2 years. We wish them all the
best! Not content to let the incredible success of the American counterpart
event of the last 2 years go quiet, we bring you a new event:
Saturday, September 23rd is taking shape to be an epic day in American dance
culture, as we come together for the largest free dance music event of it’s
kind in the country. Once again we'll be hosting the city’s, country's and
world's best Electronic Music DJ's and Producers with a free parade down the heart
of San Francisco, beginning at 2nd and Market, with the end of the parade
route culminating into a festival by donation at the Civic Center Plaza. We will
be taking over City Hall, and hosting a 10,000 capacity official after party at
the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, produced by Skills and Spundae. And, as all
festivals do, there will be more parties; pre-parties, after parties, and
after-after parties, this side of WMC!
A stellar list of talent here to make you move and groove to the shared
beauty of a universal vibe, including: Paul Oakenfold, Massive Attack, Grandmaster
Flash, Bad Boy Bill, Christopher Lawrence, Rennie Pilgrem, Lee Burridge,
Junkie XL (Live), DJ Dan, Kaskade, Lee Coombs, Miss Kitten, Donald Glaude, Richard
Vission, DJ Rap, Darude, DJ Shadow, D:Fuse, Hyper, Dieselboy, Andy Moor,
Aphrodite, Dyloot, John Howard, Steve Porter, Luke Fair, Penta, General Midi,
Simply Jeff, Deekline & Wizard, Jahbo, Nick Thayer, and much much more to be

more to be announced!
Last year over 75,000 revelers danced through the streets as 30+ floats of
every genre of dance music traversed through the streets of San Francisco. This
year we look forward to taking it to the next level together in an event truly
infused with love, music and purpose.
