DAY PARTY on Treasure Island with Opulent Temple: ‘Opulent Day on the Green’

We’re so excited to get to be the first lucky ones to throw a day party on the newly opened lawn on Treasure Island !

-We will have amplified sound all day and our O Pod DJ booth serving as mission control.

-You’ll get to enjoy the epic views of the Bay and the city in the back ground.

-We’ve made this event family friendly so please feel free to bring your kids (or not…) There will be plenty of room for them to run around and we’re working on some kid activities but obviously parents are responsible to supervise their kids at all times. Kids 15 and under get in free, but of course, are only admitted with a designated sober supervising adult. As mentioned, sound is amplified so bring your kiddie headphones / ear plugs to protect their little ears. (We won’t be blasting music but still …)

-You can bring a blanket, picnic, ice chest, lawn chairs, etc to make your perch comfy but of course no parking on the dance floor!

-The bar is located inside the restaurant area of Mer Sea which includes a great menu, outdoor seating area, and a putting green!

-Mer Sea will also have some meal deals that allow you to buy a bottle of wine or beer and take with you on the grass with your food. Awesome!

-The lawn area ia BYOB. Pack it in, pack it out and leave no trace.

-Like all Opulent Temple events, this is a 100% benefit for our 501c, the Sacred Dance Foundation that produces our sound camp at Burning Man.

-You can pay for a parking spot that puts you right on top of the event site, or walk a moderate distance for free parking. Of course – we encourage you to take public transportation or car pool.

-Vendors welcome so let us know if you want to set up a booth.

-We have an awesome line up bringing day time house music vibes!

Opulent Temple special event: ‘A Nice Pair’: Scumfrog & Upercent

The Loft at Public Works

An Opulent Temple Special Event, for our Road back to the Desert: ‘A Nice Pair’
It has to be a special occasion to get us out on a Thursday night and well, this is one of those.

A sweet pairing of fantastic music from our long time friend and dependable curator of incredible dance floor moments The Scumfrog, joined by the US debut show of Upercent, coming in hot from Spain with recent releases blowing up on Diynamic (Solomun (Official)’s label out of Germany) & Kompact (Germany), and much more. Joined by Opulent Temple residents Golden Ratio to open the night in the Loft at Public Works.

Welcoming back our long time friend and multi talented The Scumfrog, who played some of our earliest OT camps and is now a mainstay at Robot Heart sunrises, Distrikt and has had awesome releases on Knee Deep In Sound, Armada Music, and MUCH more over his extensive career.

Our other special guests is the US debut of Upercent, coming in hot from Spain with recent releases blowing up on Diynamic (Solomun (Official)‘s label out of Germany) & Kompakt Records (Germany).

ABOUT:

The Scumfrog:

25 years after his first DJ gig, and 10 years since his first successful album, Jesse Houk aka The Scumfrog continues to do exactly what he feels like doing; recording his most personal album to date “In Case We’re All Still Here”. Going back to his roots of psychedelic and deep influences, mixed with a wink at sci-fi and a deep understanding of what makes a solid underground groove, Jesse teams up with Armada Music for a journey into Deep House and Tech House. Beside his widely acclaimed song with Sting “If I Ever Lose My Faith”, the album features collaborations with Static Revenger, Vince Elliott, Vassy, and Christian Burns, while other tracks on the album contain Jesse’s own signature vocals.

Not particularly inspired by the commercial side effects of the recent EDM explosion, The Scumfrog decided to retreat to the underground in 2011 with the release of “A Place Where We Belong” on his Facebook page; a project that spawned singles on prestigious labels like 1605, Floorplay, Inkfish, and Armada. He restricted his live shows strictly to venues that prioritize music and sound before bottle service and bachelorette parties, further reflecting his strong commitment to underground sounds, and to making a connection with people that share his love and vast knowledge of music.
Prior to his renewed alliance with the underground, The Scumfrog was mostly known for his award winning stripped-down remixes of artists like Missy Elliott, New Order, Kylie Minogue, and Annie Lennox, and his collaborations writing/producing techno oriented works with David Bowie and Cyndi Lauper. And now, with his Sting project “If I Ever Lose My Faith,” The Scumfrog strongly displays his deep House roots, while still giving mass appeal to the main vocal mix.

As a DJ, The Scumfrog has toured the world many times over, and since 2009 he hosts a weekly radio show/podcast Glam Scum International, showcasing the side of Electronic Dance music that is not for everyone.

Upercent is a unique and very special artist who can’t go unnoticed! Born and raised in Valencia, he’s one of the most natural talents among electronic music producers in Spain with a strong determination to revolutionize the scene by giving his own input, with such a great attention and dedication to details and elements that creates his musical difference.

Thoughtful and emotional, Upercent’s sound is organic and analog with a perfect balance between the two. Thanks to his creativity, perfectionism and constant innovation he usually tells stories throughout his music and videos, everything made by him in order to recreate a particular atmosphere by transferring feelings to his audience.

Although his musical launch was in 2013, his evolution has been unstoppable! Up until today he has released on some of the most known underground dance labels such as Diynamic, Culprit, UponYou, Snatch!, This And That, Moda Black and Sincopat to name a few!

He has also done collaborations with and remixes to/from the likes of Pirupa, Eduardo De La Calle, Pablo Bolivar, Los Suruba, AFFKT, youANDme, Rafael Cerato, Sven Tasnadi, David Keno, M.in and Third Son among others. Moreover he has shared the decks with artists such as Josh Wink, James Zabiela, Martin Buttrich, Noir, Oliver Huntemann,
Raxon, Riva Starr, Mark Henning, Oxia, Shall Ocin, Marco Ressman, The Echonomist and Marcus Worgull to name a few.

Upercent is definitely one to keep an eye on, with the implementation of a live set in progress and more musical/visual projects to showcase!

Opulent Temple presents Wonka in Wonderland

In Chapter 5, things take a strange turn, as slightly crazy and likely dangerous orange men have invaded Wonderland. We’re not sure if this is a twisted band of oompa loompas or a more sinister turn but at least we know they’ll be candy. A costume party for music, community and mischief. Quality beats, tea parties, revelry and hopefully a little trouble! Come in costume!! You know what to do.

2 Rooms of music, visuals art, deco, performance treats and all kinds of creative fun in the works.

A 100% benefit for Opulent Temple’s 501c project in the Sacred Dance Foundation & our past and future projects!

Tim Green Bio:

Possessing the ability to effortlessly manoeuvre through the realms of house and techno, Tim Green has constantly experimented across the spectrum of electronic music. Whether putting out reverberating minimal techno, smooth deep house, or sprinkling some of that unmistakable TG charm over productions of popular appeal, his work is stamped by ingenuity, fearlessness and fun. Tim burst onto the scene back in 2008 with modern classics – ‘Revox’ and ‘Mr. Dry,’ which were snapped up by highly revered labels, Dirtybird and Trapez Records. The records picked up support from top players such as Pete Tong, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin and Luciano along the way and Tim swiftly catapulted himself into the upper echelons of the techno hierarchy. Countless high profile releases have followed since, on labels such as Cocoon, Get Physical, Saved and Four:Twenty, while his skills as a remixer have seen him turn his hand to an increasingly impressive cast, which includes Friendly Fires, Cassius, Booka Shade, Claude VonStroke, Timo Maas and Seth Troxler to name a few. Tim’s sound has seen him tour every corner of the globe over the past decade as a DJ. He is a regular for the likes of Womb Tokyo, Fabric London, Watergate Berlin, Space Ibiza, Circus Liverpool, Jaegar Oslo, Electric Pickle Miami, Spy Bar Chicago and D-Edge Sao Paulo, with also appearances at clubs like Panorama Bar and events such as Burning Man. Recent years have seen his evolution even further, with remixes of M.A.N.D.Y’s past tracks including ‘Montagmaschine,’ which featured on the ‘Remixes EP’ alongside Guti and Marc Houle, a remix for Kidnap Kid on FFRR Records as well as a 2 track EP, ‘Eclipse’ on Cocoon Recordings and another stellar EP, ’Overstance’, on MFR records in 2015. 2016 has been a stellar year for Tim: his release schedule took on meteoric heights, from a mesmerising EP on Cocoon called ’Among Wolves’ to returning to a home away from home – Get Physical – with not one but two releases: ’Only Time Remains’ EP as well compiling and mixing the 18th volume of their acclaimed Body Language compilation CD. As if that wasn’t enough, his remix work has continued with stellar outputs: from Mark Slee’s Nocturne Belle to one of the biggest dance tracks of the year: Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five by Paul McCartney & Wings vs Timo Maas & James Teej, a remix which was hailed as the track of the summer for 2016. The second half of 2016 was no less successful, with strong releases on Lee Burridge’s Get Weird imprint, a hugely popular remix for Atelier Francesco on Cityfox and an EP on My Favorite Robot, all the while planning his new LP for 2017, proved that Tim has what it takes to reach the upper echelons of the electronic music scene. Tim Green’s journey as one of the most talented and unique electronic music artists at the moment keeps rising to new heights. Expect more solid releases and unique new projects as we continue looking into future.

HOJ Bio:

Hoj is a weird name. It’s just 3 letters, but only 3% of people in the world pronounce it correctly. It doesn’t translate well (especially into Spanish). And is often misspelled. The mischief caused by these 3 little letters is a constant source of amusement for Hoj and those closest to him.

Don’t worry, we’ll tell you how to pronounce “Hoj” correctly. That way if you ever meet Hoj, you can surprise him by pronouncing his name correctly. But we’ll hold out a bit longer for dramatic effect.

So yes, lots of mischief caused by the 3 letters that are his name. Fitting, because Hoj sets out to create mischief in all his creative endeavors. His music is deep and sexy in a way that encourages crowds to create a little mischief of their own.

This sound earned him a night at Berlin’s legendary Panorama Bar amongst a slew of other clubs and stages around the world. He was one of the founding members of the Opulent Temple at Burning Man, and in recent years his sets atop the Robot Heart bus have become legendary in their own right. He continues his musical escapades alongside Lee Burridge as a resident for All Day I Dream. And also enjoys a residency with Listed Productions.
