A LovEvolution Gallery: The Party

So this is the final gallery from our visit to San Francisco to cover LovEvolution. The sheer number of people at the party made it really tough to get close to a lot of the floats, so I ended up sticking around the listed float for most of the time. Besides, they had the best sound system of any float; an old Turbosound rig (dating from before the Funktion One split I think), which sounded unbelievably warm and clear with eye shaking bass. Loud is an understatement!

A LovEvolution Gallery: Tyrant in San Francisco

There were a lot of cool parties happening over the LovEvolution weekend in San Francisco. On Friday night there was one particular night that caught our attention as Lee Burridge and Craig Richards played together as Tyrant. It was the first time in nearly a decade that they had played together in the US, so we thought we should go along to capture the vibe.

LovEvolution 2009 in San Francisco – We’ve Got You Covered!

LovEvolution

LovEvolution 2009 is going down in San Francisco this weekend, and (once again) Resonant Vibes is going to be on the frontline bringing you full exclusive coverage of the festivities!

Obviously, we’re super excited about attending LovEvolution 2009. The roster of artists performing at the event includes Deadmau5, Groove Armada, Eddie Halliwell, DJ Dan, Donald Glaude, Andy Moor, Sharam, ATB, Green Velvet, Lee Coombs, Lee Burridge, Mark Farina, Danny Howells, Doc Martin, and more!

If you’ve been following RV for long enough, then you may recall that we actually attended the San Francisco LoveFest in 2006. Now, the organizers of the San Francisco Love Parade and San Francisco LoveFest have changed the name of the festival to LovEvolution. (The idea was to distinguish the event from another “Love Festival” event in Los Angeles.) In any case, it’s still the same great shindig, based on the incredibly positive energy and spirit of the original Love Parade in Berlin. Last year, 100,000 people showed up to enjoy the irresistible beats that were oozing out of the floats as they paraded through the streets of downtown San Francisco.

So what are we going to be doing at the festival? (…besides indulging our insatiable addictions to dance music!) Our game plan will be to get exclusive video, photos, and editorial content for our blog so that you can experience LovEvolution 2009 with us! We’re eager to capture the heart and soul of this event for the RV community.

In terms of our agenda – and this will come as no surprise – we plan to be hanging with our favorite underground party crew, listed Productions! As always, these guys have cooked up some super-exciting LovEvolution events. First off, on Friday, we’re going to be at listed’s party featuring Tyrant (Lee Burridge and Craig Richards)! This is Tyrant’s first appearance in America in 10 years, and my expectations for this are absurdly high! Next, on Saturday, we’re going to be hitching a ride on the “listed Gets Twisted” float. We’ll be riding through the streets of San Francisco listening to the tunes of Lee Burridge, Danny Howells, Craig Richards, Bill Patrick, Hac Le, Mike Khoury, Nikita, Dory, Hoj, and Naveen G. THAT’S GONNA BE BANANAS!

We’ll have coverage of everything for you.

Just stay tuned to the RV blog for more LovEvolution goodies and updates.

A San Francisco LovEvolution Preview: How to Get listed

listed Productions float | 2008 LoveFest | Resonant VibesIt’s that time of year again. The long summer days are officially behind us, and as we make an almost ceremonial descent into the winter months there’s time for one last summer fling. What’s more it’s a free fling full of “Love” and it’s set in the heart of San Francisco. It’s a fling where music, sun, good people and good times can all get it on one last time.
.
That’s right, it’s time for San Francisco’s annual Love “Something” parade. This year it’s called “LovEvolution” and for more information on why it’s name keeps changing you can visit the organizers’ site HERE.

Regular readers of this blog will know that rv has a soft-spot for the fine people over at listed Productions. We’ve been involved in several of their past events and they put on ridiculously good parties while understanding what’s involved to make them a success. They know that it takes the right combination of world-class talent, mind-blowing sound systems and quirky themed productions to bring out the exhibitionist in us all. The result is an experience you’ll keep talking about. It’s even a little piece of history in the making if you’re lucky.
.
For this year’s LovEvolution weekend listed are setting the bar high with an insane schedule of 4 parties in 3 days. Each of their parties is unique and worthy of it’s own blog post, but I’ve condensed them all into one. I will say is that if you’re planing to be anywhere remotely close to the Bay Area over the LovEvolution weekend you OWE it to yourself to attend one of their parties. It’s that simple.

Tyrant | Resonant VibesFriday: Tyrant featuring Lee Burridge and Craig Richards
The Scoop: Wow, what a way to start! This is the first time Lee and Craig have played together Stateside as Tyrant in almost 10 years. Tyrant built a reputation as the residents of London’s Fabric nightclub by providing the backbone to the clubs musical direction. Together they understand music in a way that’s truly mind-expanding and they have a constant focus on keeping the vibe going. Combine that with a slew of unforgettable Tyrant tunes and you start to get an idea of what to expect. listed resident Mike Khoury has established himself as Burridge’s opening DJ of choice in North America, so he should provide the perfect start to a very special night of music.
.
Plenty of additional production is being trucked in to transform Club 525 into something a bit special for the night so we think you’d be a fool to miss out on it. What’s more, we’ll be there taking photos and video for the blog, so you should really come along for the bonus of making it into one of our galleries or videos! (more…)
