Threshold: Enter the Dragon is the 3rd Chinese New Year celebration - and 6th - annual Portland Threshold event. Born in 2006 from the efforts of a small Burning Man camp collaborative known as Monkey Puzzle, the Threshold event series has evolved from a traditional New Year's Eve event into a one-of-a-kind, high production value event bringing top electronica and live musical acts together for one explosive night of media and music at the start of the Chinese New Year (Jan. 21 @ Refuge PDX).
Unlike conventional "low-frills" dance parties, Threshold offers attendees a full spectrum audio/visual experience produced by some of Portland's finest technical and artistic wizards. Threshold's 2012 "water dragon" theme will play out both through the music and the interior design of the venue, as well as through extensive use of high-tech lighting and projection. The Bruce Lee film title nods to a martial arts infused flavor on the thematic content of the show. Additionally, theatrical elements such as skits and acrobatics bring further dimension to what former Threshold attendees repeatedly regard as a uniquely participatory, communal and "an unforgettable experience".
Soon to be announced, this years stellar line up will feature both local acts from Oregon, as well as touring acts from Northern and Southern California. Former Threshold performers include Random Rab, Plastician, Haj Ji, Solovox, Eskmo, Chris Sia, Kraddy, Oscure, El Papachango, Saqi, Russ Liquid, Global Ruckus, Nicoluminous, DJ Anjali & the Incredible Kid, DJ Ravicher, BreakBeatBuddha, Music Poulation Orchestra, Manoj, DJ Laura, Behni Bubu, Plumblyne, Bass Science, Nalepa, Jacaranda, Phidelity, R-Kidz, Deru, Phutureprimitive, MattB, Barisone, Vokab Company, Trash Can Joe, Laura Ivancie, and HyDrive.
We can't wait for this one!
