Get ready for an extra special night of spirited dance for this month’s GLO!  I am really excited to announce special international guest DJ – CHRIS DECKKER, founder of the global EARTHDANCE event and legendary dance band MEDICINE DRUM. CHRIS plays a fantastic mix of international flavours with globally infused grooves and funky breaks.

Originally from Australia, CHRIS DECKKER has traveled the world, studying the healing effects of drumming and dance on tribal cultures. He has lived and worked in Amsterdam, London and San Francisco among other places. His work brought him to London in 1994 where he pursued his vision of reviving the lost tribal roots of the urban environment. He is co-founder of the London based club Return to the Source. Chris founded the Earthdance International charity event in 1997 and has been its Executive Producer for that past ten years. What began in 1997, with 22 cities in 18 countries has now occurred in over 360 locations with over 300 locations in 60 countries participating in 2007 alone. Earthdance has now become the largest global synchronized dance event in the world.

The other half of the line up is DJ PULSE serving up a fresh set of progressive world rhythms & grooves, taking the  floor deep into the dance.

GLO dance in conjunction with the BYRON SPIRIT FESTIVAL presents a special summer double bill of two favorite headliners of GLO and this year’s BYRON SPIRIT FESTIVAL – Sunshine Coast international sensations OKA and the mind blowing live show of DEYA DOVA at the Byron Bay Buddha Bar for the January FULL MOON! This is a night of deep dance not to miss!!!

SATURDAY JAN 7TH 2012
Buddha Bar, Byron Bay Brewery
$25 at the door.
Doors open 8pm. Show at 8.30pm

OKA – With a signature sound and unforgettable live reputation, OKA is still serving their Progressive Roots music. Electrified Digeridoo, heavy slide guitar, soaring flutes and juju rhythms are some of the many ingredients in this Australian sound that’s matured over a decade. Incorporating flavours of Dub, Electronica, Hip-hop, Jazz and many forms of world music, for years people have tried to define the OKA sound. Instead, perhaps look at the line-up – Three characters with varying influences, backgrounds and talents. Stu Boga Fergie (Didgeristu), the big man behind the electronic beats & keys brings raw didgeridoo & vocals inspired by his aboriginal heritage. Chris lane plays captivating melody on Slide Guitar, Harmonica & Woodwinds including Bamboo Flute and Sax. Making up the trio is Samoan-Australian Charlie Zappa – a rhythm specialist with beats of Polynesian fire and deep pocket. Together they blend many pieces that is the OKA puzzle – A sound & force that touches the heart & feeds the soul.

“Imagine Bob Marley Meets Stevie Wonder via the Chemical Brothers in a steaming rainforest – then you start to get the idea”

DEYA DOVA – Hailing from the Nullarbor Desert in SouthOz and growing up alongside the traditional Mirning people of whale dreaming country, DEYA DOVA’s take on music is wide screen. Fusing an exotic mix of World, Dance, Electro and spine tingling vocals, her sound is undeniably Tribal. DEYA’s stunning vocal talent draws on indigenous influences from around the globe and creates a mythical musical landscape that is truly her own. Oozing with sensual feminine energy DEYA DOVA performs with her pumping 4 piece band beautifully blending organic instrumentation with live electronica to create a powerful and euphoric dance floor experience.

“The highlight was the main stage going off to DEYA DOVA…utterly mesmerizing as she looped her ethereal vocals and harmonized layer after lush layer….accompanied by totally infectious dance beats she seemed to be possessed by something other worldly. Influences came from indigenous sounds from across the world, tapping into something primal within us all.” TSUNAMI MAGAZINE

THIS EVENT IS TOTALLY SOLD OUT!!!

I am really excited to announce OKA for the GLO dance on the 11/11/11 Full Moon! Get ready for a big night of dance with the feel good dance roots sounds of OKA, plus a full DJ Pulse set.

OKA is made up of the lush earthy beats of Stu Fergie, of the Yakin Andu people, on Didgeridu and Vocals. The soaring melodies of Chris Lane on Slide Guitar, Indigenous Flutes, Harmonica and more and the electrifying drumming of Charles Wall on Drumkit.

OKA are based on the Sunshine Coast and take their genre defying music to the world with regular tours of Japan and Canada as well as sell out shows around the country and Festivals such as Woodford and The Dreaming. They are just returning from a highly successful tour of Canada and the USA.

OKA’s sound is an organic tapestry of phat earth rhythms in a smooth hi-fidelity sound that is full of uplifting melodies, tones and textures. OKA is a celebration of Australian cultures with a very present, powerful and uniting indigenous cultural overtone running throughout the music. When the raw rhythm of the didgeridoo combines with the OKA style dance driven grooves, the energy mustered is infectious, you can’t stand still.

The last time OKA played GLO it sold out well before the show and I had to turn away 80+ people. So please get your ticket earlier than later. The night will open with a fullset by DJ Pulse.
