The Pnuma Trio (2 sets): 11:40 pm - 2:00 am (+ 1 extra hour... or so!)

Pnuma arrives at a time when the music scene is in need of something different, bringing with them a refreshing new sound.

Pnuma’s story began as a musical meeting in Virginia. There, through introduction by a mutual friend, the three founding members met, played together, and a week later became a band. The trio quickly discovered their sound and made the move to Memphis, Tennessee. Since the beginning, things have progressed naturally, and quickly. Pnuma's innovative brand of atmospheric 'soul trance' is a captivating sound that meshes dance music elements with traditional jazz and funk sensibilities. Riding on the cusp of futuristic innovation while remaining in tune with their past influences, Pnuma allows their musicianship to speak for itself, offering beat-driven, precise compositions that still allow ample space for free thought and movement. It's instrumental, improvisational dance music for a new era in the live electronic realm, appealing to jam fans, hip-hop heads, and electronic dance party fanatics alike.

Karmetik Underground: 10:20 pm - 11:20 pm

Sonically combining the east, the west, the above and the below, the Karmetik Underground is religiously infusing packed dance floors with live instrumental fusion. Karmetik cleverly creates an ethnically diverse musical tapestry, often incorporating traditional instruments from India with state of the art synthesizers, samplers, and sequencers. A sound influenced by Talvin Singh, Phish, The Chemical Brothers and Sound Tribe Sector Nine to name a few. As part of the creative process, songs are conceived from within the emotional spectrum and given life through a hybrid medium of electrorganic sounds. Allowing the listener to fully explore their musical mind and body while getting down and dirty doin’ it.

Primarily a quartet, the Karmetik Underground is also constantly exploring the collective musical experience through improvised jamming with a plethora of guest musicians. The music is kept fresh for both listener and performer as it takes on a form derived from the present with little predetermined length or finite structure. The Karmetik Underground is determined to spread love like wild fire; helping the world dance one step at a time!

KJ Sawka: 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Seeing Kevin Sawka on the drums is the only way to believe the hype. He can play the most complex of jungle, drum'n'bass and breakbeats utilizing no loops and no extended samples -only his two hands and two feet. Whereas some artists claim to be performing live drum'n'bass, live electronica, etc., it's more often than not a drummer playing alongside pre-programmed beats if there's a drummer at all; Sawka, however, can perform each and every 808 bass kick, snare slap, and compressed highhat tick himself, in real-time.

Welcome, to the 21st Century.

What's more to say?

Planet Groove will be rocking Saturday night!!!
