Beat Boutique by FFWD Staff All right, you’ve got two weeks to stuff a summer’s worth o’ fun into your life before the leaves fall and you’ve got to snowshoe from A to B for another nine months. Desert rats rejoice as Oasis takes over the badlands for a two-day festival of beat ’n’ paleontology. You supply the bug repellent, the Coleman campstove and the sleeping bag, while they’ll transform a dusty campground into a palm-lined beach resort complete with more than 26 DJs who will pound you back through to the Paleolithic for all manner of beat manipulation. Every beat will represent, from trance through drum ’n’ bass, with a list of DJs that includes Sequential Tom, Lori Hi Fi Princess, Forest Green, Alcheme, Tryptomene, Spilt Milk, Hula Hoop, Lotus Queen, Emma Star, Lion S, Honeey Mustard, Taro, Tracerburn, Karizma, I Jah, Evil G, Mista Levi and GI Jody. Tickets are available at Feroshus and Phonics. Call 263-7428 for details. Bounce late night Friday at The Warehouse, as Horsey plays along with residents Phunk and Vinne. Doors open at 3 a.m. Saturday, Reload offers you the chance to get the trance outta yer pants, as Element, Dr Trance, DJ Groof, Pauly Dee, Five Alive, Alcheme, Epoc and Mark Thomas get their groove on for another night dedicated to finding that special blend of progress and party. Tickets are available at Feroshus. Information can be had by calling 217-4956. Late night Saturday you’ve got Blissed at The Warehouse with Anthem and Pauly Dee, or there’s Testa and Reyes on the decks at Soul Tattoo. On Tuesday, relax, chill out and mellow down easy as The Mighty Diamonds come to town as part of The Night Gallery’s continuing commitment to bringing legendary reggae acts to Cowtown. Best known for the classics "Pass the Kouchie" and "The Right Time," this long-running reggae trio should not be missed. Head out to Embassy on Wednesday as the U.K.’s Grant Plant will parachute into Fehrenheit for one night of tech house thunder. Domenic G and Delerious are on tap for the evening as well. Prepare for Thursday’s extra super special Hai Karate happening at The Night Gallery, as they celebrate the first anniversary of Calgary’s pre-eminent house ’n’ breaks night. Grimes is back from his soul searchin’, so you’ll get the full karate kick. There will be giveaways and special guests. Got a thing? E-mail cunga66@home.com
