Luminopolis, 22nd November 2008

Starting at 10pm and finishing at 8am

SEOne Club London Bridge, Weston Street, SE1 London UK

Luminopolis (formerly The Synergy Project) is a magical indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities with the expressed aim to make a difference.

Luminopolis strives to create an optimistic approach in raising awareness on the many crucial issues affecting our world today. The events gather some of the UK’s leading creative multimedia organizations joined by international NGO’s such as Oxfam, Survival, Speak, Ecoshelter, WDM, Down2Earth, Greenpeace, Campaign Against Climate Change to provide just the right mix of open hearted enjoyment and meaningful reflection for a new direction.

In a society in which generally perceives clubbing as a form of escapism associated with values of transgression, Luminopolis re-invented the clubbing experience by transforming it into an ‘educational’ tool, associating healthy values of sustainability and social justice to strong role models such as respected artists and performers of the entertainment industry. Creating awareness with more efficient means to reach directly a young audience that might be otherwise reluctant to receive, respect, and incorporate such messages when proposed by conventional sources.

For the past 5 years Luminopolis continues to inspire people from all walks of life to re-evaluate their views on club culture and beyond…

In the main room…
Liquid Records

Liquid Records has been causing quite a stir in both the psy-trance and downtempo genres worldwide lately. Despite the label’s relative youthfulness, Liquid has been highly successful at creating a new front and cranking out a serious amount of highly sought-after, blockbuster tunes. Liquid’s artists both in the psychedelic trance, downtempo and electronica fields have been coming together from all over the world and reworking the old definitions of their favourite music into something new, turning quite a few heads in the process… the end result is inexplicably revolutionary! http://www.myspace.com/liquidrecordsuk

Light Hands
This loved mess of a city, light and shade weave us and its walls together, our forms, transient as dust that hangs in a sunsplintered room. The speed of this city, its rythm and breath, exhales a thousand soft moments of stillness, together twinned we exist, just as her hand reaches out and grabs us… we spin faster, and faster.
