BEARTRAP PRODUCTIONS presents CELESTIAL BEINGS III
10th Anniversary Party, featuring DapAnji

THE QUEST

Our annual February date has evolved from its humble, but insanely popular “Creature of the Wheel” roots in Stellenbosch, into one of the most anticipated events in the latter half of outdoor season – Celestial Beings. This year, as we prepare for one of the most auspicious gatherings of celestial beings, we are struck by the magnitude of our continued commitment to creating a space that draws beings from all walks of light together. This year we have summoned artistic talents from the many corners of the universe, incl. musicians, dj’s, visual manipulators, fire performers, dancers & UV artists. All will ascend on the sacred site to entertain, dazzle, surprise and enthral your senses – get ready for a summer psychedelic experience that will propel you into another dimension.

THE MINSTRELS AND MAGICIANS

DapAnji (phantasm rec, Israel)
This dynamic duo have both been making music since their preteen years but once they discovered psyculture and it’s music, they were hooked.

Both broke into the scene in their individual capacities as DJs and spent a great deal of time playing all over Israel.

At a very young age, Daniel was fortunate to play alongside a multitude of artists like Absolum, CPU, Bliss and Exaile, among others.
At the end of 2006 the two joined forces.
The combined result of this energetic and bold partnership is Dapanj.

After spending an intense amount of time in the studio, refining their talent and defining their unique sound, they released their debut album – Born To Break (2009), on the well known Phantasm Records label – this fiercely well received release is full of crazy breaks and phat earth shattering bass lines, colored with funky psychedelics and the occasional unexpected groove.

Many of the tracks off this album (such as Cracking Skulls and Attention Please!) are still played on trance floors all over the world.

They really are taking full on to the next level and as Phantasm Records said, “they are set to raise the bar of what’s expected from innovative studio producers” – we agree…. !

BRIAN SENTIENT (spun rec, usa)
Representing Alchemy Records in the USA, Sentient is one of the foremost psychedelic trance DJs in California. A lover of the genre since he was first exposed to it at a rave in Mexico City in 1994, Sentient has become addicted to the powerful sound of today’s psytrance.

When he plays, foremost in his mind is the music and the desire to guide people through it.
A world traveller all of his life, his unique experiences living in Africa, Mexico and Israel (as well as trips to Europe and Southeast Asia) have given him a unique outlook on life, and he channels his personality and energy into each set.

He has played alongside are Hallucinogen, X-Dream, Shpongle, Deedrah, Astrix, Son Kite, GMS, Infected Mushroom, Shane Gobi, Chromatone, Protoculture, Shakta, Cosmosis, Pixel, Absolum and many, many more.

Each of the five Djanes bring a unique energy to this dynamic and exciting compliment of Minstrels and Magicians. From the sultry, sexy, cheeky, bouncy, dark and menacing, sunset, sunrise or psychedelic -

Together or individually, the five attest to the growing feminine energy of the psytrance scene locally and worldwide and prove that, like their male counterparts, they are not defined by gender, but by the ability to influence a dance floor and manipulate a beat.

 THE SETTING

An epic gathering demands an equally epic setting and only one venue comes to mind… . .

Literally overnight this beautiful stone keep was catapulted from a simple rock quarry to the legendary status it now enjoys.

This is where we will setup base as we touch down on the banks of the Theewaterskloof dam.

The dance floor will be perched atop the Theewaterskloof valley, surrounded by lush vineyards and tall, majestic mountain peaks, flanked by a river which meanders into the valley past the dance floor as it rushes from the dam, carving a path and leaving it’s mark on the countryside..

Secluded and surrounded on 3 sides by stone steeples, this venue is a naturally formed amphitheatre which will double as a monstrous backdrop for some seriously powerful psychedelic visuals and otherworldly eye candy.

DIRECTIONS

From N2:
Hit the freeway from Cape Town and go over Sir Lowry’s Pass.
At the Peregrine Farm Stall turn left to Elgin / Grabouw (R321)
Take the first right turn onto R321 (towards Villiersdorp).
Just before Villiersdorp, turn right onto the R43 towards Hermanus (this is not a dirt road).
Follow the signs from there. Be careful not to take the dirt road which goes to Hermanus, but in the event that you do, turn left when you reach the T-Junction which intersects with the tar road again.

❀ This is a farm – a place of birth, growth and rebirth :: the perfect extension of space for Celestial Beings.
It feeds the soul and the tummy. Be born on the dance floor, grow with the music and be reborn into the world. Fill your soul with music and release your energy on the dance floor – This is the essence of the party!
