Opel 7 Year Anniversary :: Part 1, in association with Lot 49 Saturday, April 25th @ Mission Rock w/ Meat Katie & Dylan Rhymes

To celebrate 7 years of gatherings with purpose, of an attempt at conscious parties with kick ass line ups, of beautiful memories and building community, of uber fun and professional shenanigans - we go back to where it started on a rainy night in 2002 (!)

If you've done the all nighters with us at Mission Rock, you know how great these nights are. if you haven't, then this is the party to acquaint you with how we did it 'back in the day.' 4 vibes to chose from - indoor / outdoor, each with a sweet line up that could be a stand alone party on it's own. Including double headline action from the pioneers of the tech funk sound we celebrate, an expanded program in our opulent chill area with belly dance and ritual performance, watching sunrise come up over the water, free breakfast and the bars re-opening at 6am... it's not a party that comes along very often. In fact, we stopped doing these parties at Mission Rock because they kick our asses with the 10 hour marathon and all the decor and love we put into it - and we plan on kicking your ass as well!

$15 discounted pre-sale for this party HERE.

Tix will be $20 at the door before 11:00pm, $25 after, so save your duckets on a pre-sale.

-OR- Get the 'E' Ticket*, which is a combined ticket for both anniversary shows for only $25 HERE.

*E does not refer to electronic, nor does it refer to a drug. The old 'E' ticket at Disneyland used to get you on the best rides, before it was all inclusive with your entry ticket (this is back in the day...) it's sort of our own inside private joke, also harkening to a song by the punk band the Vandals

"You get something really wicked, when you spend an E ticket"

Dylan Rhymes (www.dylanrhymes.com / Lot 49, UK) Bio: Dance music has been the biggest part of Rhyme's life from a young age. Inspired by early hip hop and electro a la Kraftwerk and Doug E. Fresh, Marvin purchased his first set of decks at 15 and caught the bug in a bad way. Rhythm Design Studios in Uxbridge became the birthplace of Outsiders, Drake and Beaver’s much-lauded project for Junior Boy's Own Chicago influenced Jus Trax label. Friend, DJ and London mainstay Clive Henry then joined the team and the trio became Peace Division, a project that gained props from every corner of dance music without exception. Since then he has cemented his reputation as one of the leaders of the breakbeat and tech house scenes through his output through Kingsize Records, Meat Katie's Whole9Yards and Lot49 labels and his own Blue Black imprint. Besides original work, Beaver has also remixed the likes of Deep Dish, Infusion, Dave Gahan, Overseer, Unkle and Puretone while he has collaborated with Meat Katie, Christian J, Force Mass Motion (as Silencer) and Anthony J Gorry (on his 2004 album, Dead Famous).
