A fresh face in NYC this past year, 2022 was quite a debut year for the west-coast transplant. Building on over a decade of left coast residencies [The Endup, Nocturnal Code, The Regency Ballroom, Strategik] Cavalier honed and communicated his signature expressive, dance-forward house sound to happy crowds in London, San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and Miami. No stranger to adventure, 2022 saw Cavalier play new venues and festivals like The Knockdown Center, House of Yes, Love Burn as well as more intimate venues like TBA Brooklyn, Eris, beyond. The peak moment (of self-actualization) was a soul-quenching resident DJ set for Bubbles & Bass at Burning Man on Friday morning just before N2N and David Hohme. The San Francisco native is onto something special, and is here to stay in NYC. Catch him in bloom, dreaming with an open heart, an applied mind, and a desire to keep the floor moving to the celebratory sounds of life. Having played clubs, festivals and undergrounds from coast-to-coast and internationally, CAVALIER consistently presents audiences a selection of compelling tracks guided by intelligent design.

Often layering Live instrumentation into the mix such as Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Percussion bringing you into the music, adding excitement, and an element of surprise!

Talisman Groovemaker is a Sound Alchemist, Story Teller, Musician, DJ and Producer based out of Eugene Oregon. Most recently he had the honor of sharing the stage with Desert Dwellers @ The Big Dirty - the Premier Venue in Eugene, Oregon.

Groovemaker, first and foremost, considers himself to be in service to the dance floor by tuning in to the energy of the moment. Each set of music is custom crafted specifically for the event and environment. His goal is to provide a vehicle for a Transcendental Dance Experience!

Groovemaker got his professional start as a DJ in 2012 when he made his debut at "The Full Moon in June" Festival where he combined his love of LiVE instruments with electronic music in performance for the first time. He then went on to perform and produce the music for the Oregon Country Fair "Fire Theater Show" in 2013 and 2014. In 2015 he played the 3rd Annual Exotic Erotic Ball @ The Historic Armory in Ashland, Oregon, sharing the stage with Ra Ra Avis, formerly of the Desert Dwellers.

Groovemaker was a regularly featured DJ between 2017 and 2019 at "Soul Tribe Sundays” , a popular weekly underground dance music night at Sessions Lounge in Eugene, Oregon. He also headlined the Official Dirtwire After Party in 2018 and 2019.

A few years ago, Talisman became inspired by the work of the Legendary Gabrielle Roth, who was an American dancer and musician in the world 
music and trance dance community who had a special interest in shamanism. She developed a system of using different rhythms with music and dance to facilitate a shamanic experience. Since then, he has made several appearances for the long running Coalessence Ecstatic Dance at The Wow Hall in Eugene, Oregon, and is well versed in the art of Ecstatic Dance.

Groovemaker loves to take the dance floor on a journey by telling a story with his music. let your imagination run wild, forget your fear and be your most fantastical self and let Dj Groovemaker take you on an epic dance adventure!

Andrea Campbell, Groovilicious's, story extends way back into the roots of the house x techno music scene, as this musical vibration reached her budding young generation of dance music enthusiasts, on the West Coast, USA, just as she was graduating from high school in 1992.  

As the roots of the Detroit Techno, and Chicago House scenes were taking the world of underground, gay dance clubs by storm, the infectious influence of this sound eventually spread to the West Coast.   

Andrea had the opportunity of a young exposure to underground dance clubs in the late '80's and early 90's, because she had an awesome older sister, who was a huge musical influence on her.  And, who also guided her into the discovery of the underground dance music culture, by taking Andrea out dancing at dance clubs in Seattle in the late ‘80’s, in a pre- Rave era.  Andrea would "go out" with her sister, and her friends, to go dancing at gay dance cubs,  in many west coast cities, as well as Austin, and NOLA, by the time she turned 18.  

Eventually rave culture took hold in 1992, and it was ON, once Andrea discovered house & techno music!  She then raved from Seattle to BC, to So Cal, and lived in Seattle producing events with the Groovilicious Love Tribe.  

Groovilicious Love Tribe (GLT) was an all-womens' production crew, who produced their first event under this name in 1994.  These ladies were instrumental, and influential, in inspiring a more feminine approach to producing dance music events, in an otherwise male-dominated industry, in Seattle in the mid-90's.  

Feeling the need to bring in more of a focus on the Earth, and aligning with their spiritual awareness, they felt the shift away from industrial urban spaces, that early warehouse raves were based on.   

GLT wanted to create something that was both healing and sustainable, with the intent, and goal, to return to a place of honor, connection, and respect, for the earth. Their intentions, as a collective, were on a spiritual focus, creating, and holding, a sacred space, for those attending, to have the best possible experience with the music, and the dance.  Utilizing music, and dance, as tools, to catalyze consciousness, spiritual awakening/s, and come-unity, through ecstatic dance.  And, giving away free smoothies at parties, and pancakes at the afterparties!  Building spirituality, and community, in contrast to the dense urban environment, from which such gatherings stemmed.  

Eventually, Andrea heard the call of the mountains, and her path led her away from the city, to reside in Mount Shasta "City".  In Mt. Shasta, Andrea has been "rocking the planet", holding outdoor campout festivals, each summer, for full moons, solstices, or equinoxes, since 1996.  She continues to produce monthly gatherings, and special events.

Becoming DJ Groovilicious, occurred over a course of time beginning in 2000, when Andrea began her vinyl record collection, and learning the art of DJing.  

The name Groovilicious is throwing it back to Andrea's roots, of the beloved ‘90’s early rave era, and by choosing to go by this DJ name, she seeks to share a journey through dance music.  Honoring the culture, and the historical roots, from which it all stems, from the past, and into the present.

Andrea is currently working to produce and promote events under the name Planet Rocker Productions.  With two new events in the works, a monthly Groove Therapy, and new event series, Bed, Beats & Breakfast!

Stay tuned here for the musical vibrations she will continue to emanate, and share, from the spiritual energy vortex of Mount Shasta!
