Life has a complex ebb and flow. It moves and develops endlessly with the passing of time.
In our contact with other beings, we form relationships and gather shared experiences.
We reshape the fabric of life for those we come in to contact with. We have the power to make choices, to cause change in
the progress of our lives. Cause and effect - shockwaves rippling outwards in a neverending fractal.
You get to choose the shapes and colours as you go...
Reconnect with music.
Reconnect rhythm and movement.
Reconnect with the earth.
Reconnect with one another.
Reconnect

Here is some info about a few of the acts playing at this years Reconnect.


Dj Kayo
http://djkayo.podomatic.com/



http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs179.ash2/44265_119259164799019_112491135475822_136930_82842 52_n.jpg



Her style is often described as seamless and mesmerizing, whether it is a night time stomper or a morning euphoric journey topped with melodies.
A versatile DJ with great skills in Progressive Trance, Techno, Breaks, Minimal, Tech Trance, Psytrance and Goatrance, DJ KAYO as a label DJ for Soundkraft Records (AU),
is a promising act and her performances leave her audience spell bound






Rhythmik
http://soundcloud.com/rhythmik
http://www.myspace.com/rhythmik24




http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs136.ash2/40133_118746218183647_112491135475822_134349_73006 28_n.jpg


Rhythmik is a quirky fresh sound artist spawned out of the crazy city of Melbourne.


...Rhythmik's album, Picture This, was released at the beginning of the year on Morning Monster Records, with great reception in Australia and worldwide.


In his set you can expect to hear many of the quriky funky progressive tunes from the album. This will be mixed with newer wobbly techno,
grindy funk and whatever else you want to call the strange bouncy sounds coming out of the speakers.
The music is about fun, pushing boundries, and creating sounds that have characters of their own and aren't limited by single genres.
It has been welcomed by large crowds this year after playing main stage sets at Earth Freq, Maitreya Festival,
Cairns Winter Solstice Festival and Rhythmik's own events hosted in Melbourne.


He is stoked to be welcomed back to Reconnect in 2010, and will be bringing all his gear for a truly live electronic experience.


Imperfect Circle
http://www.sanad.info/
http://soundcloud.com/imperfect-circle/imperfect-circle-tunnel-visions-ii



http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2101/216/13/728775690/n728775690_5649315_8540.jpg




Imperfect Circle's sets are presented by Sanad who has been around Astral Lotus' parties for the past couple of years.
The DJ set at the main stage will build the festival up to reach its full pumping psychedelic mood. Playing a European style of mid tempo psytrance,
the set will establish the momentum of the festival, paving the way for the maximum amount of energy to flow.


With the help of Santur -an Iranian traditional instrument-, Imperfect Circle alongside ID Crisis will play a live set providing
a hypnotic sonic environment for the beginning of the day which will yet again evolve into an energetic vibe of psytrance.


The DJ set at the alternative stage will take the audience through a colourful journey from Jazz to Trip-Hop, because…It's all about the energy and the music; no matter what.

What to bring:

Bring tarps or marquees for extra shade, plus tent of course.

Lots & lots of water. There will be water on site but its best to have plenty at your own camp.

and any thing else that would make u have a comfortable weekend camping in the out doors.

We are part of existence, we are not separate.
Our heartbeat is part of the universal heartbeat.
And it is not a dead universe; it is immensely intelligent, conscious, sensitive.
It is divine in its every dimension.
But you have to participate in the dance.... . . . Reconnect - less than one week to go!

Here's your chance to experience a bush doof only 2 hours from the CBD at Byjingos property near Mannum.
Join us on the dancefloor in the Sunshine and under the Stars for 2 days & nights camping out in the great outdoors.

Reconnect is now in its third year at a new location and once again we'll have 2 stages of quality tunes, random acts of art
and sculpture, plus performances and roving acts of craziness.

The Mainstage will take you on a sonic journey from start to
finish building from Friday evening through dubstep, techno, trance & DnB until sunrise. Chilling down on Saturday morning
with dub and other electronic beats, amping it up in the arvo with progressive tunes, live performances, before kicking off a
night of pumping psychedelic soundscapes.

Sunday morning brings a fresh release of quirky funky party tunes to tweak your
senses and the madness continues all day long. Sunday night will be open for interpretation for those left standing, but rest
assured the beats will roll on.

When you're not groovin on the main stage head over to the Lotus Lounge, a relaxed and varied atmosphere with live music,
djs, visuals and cinema. It's a space to eat, rest and connect with others.

Food for sale, free drinking water and toilets onsite, No pets or fires please. Stay safe & look after each other

We recommend bringing your camping gear, shade, all weather clothing, food and water and anything else you need to stay
comfy and have fun!
