Opulent Temple & Deep End present Music Is Art a Post Playa Party
Friday, November 14, 2008
10:00PM – 4:00AM

Next Up from the O.T. : Opulent Temple & The Deep End
We’re joining up with our playa brothers in fun who bring to the day what we bring to the night for a blow out celebration of fun and community in 4 rooms of music and dance to clear our debts from this past year.
As you surely know by now, we get no help from Burning Man to bring our world class production to Black Rock City, so we rely solely on the community to help make it happen. We know how much the music experience means to why a LOT of people go, and we know that Music is Art. Let’s hope some other folks can catch up with evolution…

Burning Man 2008 Long Form
‘Long Form’
This year we wanted to give more info and background on our nights and what we are trying to say, the dj’s that play, who they are and why they get to play the treasured spots at Opulent Temple, and some back stories that illuminate how this comes together. It’s a frequent question we get about how to get a slot, if you read this it will become clear, that by and large, you get it the old fashioned way, you earn it.

We know you came to dance. And to bask in the sweet spot with the tickle of bass, fully alive. Bonded in this moment of shared peak experience, showing up to stand in the space that you are. Let’s use the party not just to be, but also to do. Drawing strength to engage with a clear mind and open heart. Using that wisdom for the insight to not fear death, to build our courage to stand against the tyranny of the Age. To find ways, in community, to evolve beyond the collision course with cold truth we’ve been complicit in. This is why we do what we do.
And we intend to have a kick ass time while we’re doing it. It’s important to us that you know, no dj’s gets paid to play, ever. Almost all contributed in some fashion to our existence this year. We built everything you see in our dance area ourselves. We get no help from the BM org, and that’s a shame. We have your support though, and we thank you deeply. We’re always needing and appreciative of donations if you’re moved (see donation widget in sidebar).
We look forward to creating this dream with you.

Opulent Temple Send-Off Party with Ali B
Saturday, August 16, 2008
Shine
1337 Mission St #67, San Francisco, CA 94103
21+
We’re almost there, and it’s just about time to return to our own annual pilgrimage to the desert. The OT has gotten awesome support from the community to help us return for what is set to be our best year yet! Please come out in support and celebration, as we bring the San Francisco debut of UK breaks taste maker Ali B (Fabric / Air, London, UK).
n true Burning Man fashion, Ali B kicks off with a politically charged message “Time For the Revolution” to build up momentum backed by techno-tastic beats.
His set encompasses a truly diverse range of electronic genres, from techno to breaks to electro to blips and beeps and back to breaks, taking us on a very twisted trip. His presence behind the decks is super-charged and full of energy.
“Yep, Burning Man is one of a kind,” nods Ali. “The desert is like a big blank canvas or the white walls of a gallery and for one week a year it gets filled to the brim with all sorts of crazy stuff – moving and stationary artwork, music, crazy vehicles, bikes, costumes and lots of fire.” Ali B, founder of Air Recordings, definitely adds a big splash of modern edge with his colorful brand of raw funk.

A double header of playa worthy action as the OT gets the support of both Lee Coombs and The Scumfrog in this dusted up night. PHAT. SICK. AWESOME. As you probably know by now, we continue to elevate our production, as well of course evolve our unprecedented line up of world class talent. But, as you also know, we do this only with your help, as BM doesn’t give sound camps squat.
Joined by the OT’s posse Syd Gris, Dutch, Vinkalmann, Dex Stakker, Nathan Vain, Dulce Vita, Hoj, Billy Cassaza, and Billy Seal.
We’ll do 3 areas of sound. $15 playafied in any way, $20 otherwise. OT Live Recordings on hand.

Next up from the Opulent Temple to get us back on the playa brings us the seminal producer and dj, Dylan Rhymes (Lot 49 / London, UK). One half (along with Meat Katie) of the talent behind Lot 49 Records, the gold standard of tech funk releases, Dylan Rhymes has produced monster cuts in many a genre and is respected world wide for both his production skills and DJ performances. He came out to Burning Man for the first time last year after loving the Opel parties and not only loved, it, but got down and dirty with us during the camp construction. He ROCKS the party in a fresh, funky dirty infectious sound. Come get lucky with us at Supperclub on Friday the 13th!
