Spring Equinox 🌓 Balancing Light & Dark as We J

Spring Equinox 🌓 Balancing Light & Dark as We Journey to Earth Beat 2025

Today's Spring Equinox marks a perfect balance of light and dark - a powerful metaphor as we stand exactly 6 months from Earth Beat 2025!

Our team is abuzz, sifting through an incredible array of applications for performers, workshops, and speakers. The creativity and passion pouring in fills us with excitement for the experience we're co-creating.

Envision yourself half a year from now, part of a vibrant temporary village pulsing with music, dance, and connection. Earth Beat isn't a utopia - it's a microcosm of our world, with all its beauty and challenges. Here, we face our collective light and shadow, finding strength in unity to address the complexities of our time.

In this moment of equilibrium, we're reminded of the delicate tension that exists in all aspects of life. In a world often fraught with division, Earth Beat offers a rare space to truly see and hear each other. We celebrate our differences while recognizing our shared humanity. It's where we practice being the authentic, awakened individuals our world desperately needs - not by escaping reality, but by engaging with it more fully.

Earth Beat is a catalyst for growth, pushing us to expand our consciousness and confront uncomfortable truths. It's a place to question assumptions, challenge our perspectives, and open ourselves to new understandings. Together, we cultivate the courage to face both the light and dark within ourselves and our society.

As we mark this equinox, let's embrace both the renewal of spring and the introspection of the fading winter. Let's carry this balance forward, nurturing hope while acknowledging the work ahead.

In 6 months, we'll gather to celebrate, to struggle, to learn, and to grow - as individuals and as a community. Will you join us on this journey?

Early bird tickets are on sale now! Be part of creating a more conscious, connected world - in all its messy, beautiful complexity.

Today marks the anniversary of the passing of Lee

Today marks the anniversary of the passing of Lee "Scratch" Perry, a true maverick who shaped the sound of reggae and dub music as we know it. Born Rainford Hugh Perry in rural Jamaica, this musical wizard transformed from a humble dancehall hand to a groundbreaking producer and artist who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in a recording studio.

Perry wasn't just innovative; he was downright revolutionary. In the 1970s, while others were still figuring out how to use a mixing board, Perry was turning his studio, the Black Ark, into a literal sound laboratory. He'd use unconventional techniques like burying microphones under trees, blowing ganja smoke onto tape reels, and running tracks backward to create otherworldly sounds that would define the dub genre.

His collaborations read like a who's who of music royalty. From nurturing a young Bob Marley to working with punk icons like The Clash, and even influencing hip-hop pioneers the Beastie Boys, Perry's fingerprints are all over modern music.

But perhaps what made Perry truly unforgettable was his larger-than-life personality. Known for his eccentric fashion sense (think mirror-covered hats and technicolor outfits) and cryptic, often hilarious statements, Perry was as much a performance artist as he was a musician. He once famously claimed to be from Jupiter and that he could control the weather with his mind!

On this day in 2021, the world lost a true original. But Perry's legacy lives on in every dubplate spin, every bass-heavy remix, and every artist who dares to think outside the box. As he once said, "I am the Upsetter," and indeed, he upset the music world in the best way possible, leaving it forever changed and infinitely more interesting.
