We invite you to join us as the Lunarpunk sourcerers travel back from the brink of the 2057 apocalypse to spread ripples of magic and positivity across the land! In this parallel design space, we welcome you to let loose with us as we share in the moonlight under the cover of darkness, reveling in the subconscious soul soup where dreams become reality.
Under the approaching Full Worm Moon on the 22nd of March, we bring you a selection of sphericular soundscapes, from PsyBass, Psydub, Liquid D&B, Dubstep, Psychedelic Experimental, and full-blown Psychedelic Trance, spun out with a mystical moonlit twist for your wonderment
Whipping up a feast for the senses, both “The Mush-room” and the “Moon-Room” will be kitted out with beautiful biolumiescent bespoke creations by Nutbeam Designs, and psychedelic visual displays by Mush Pongo. What’s more, is the mystical man from under the Existance wishing tree, magician and illusionist David Stewart
So come in your Lunarpunk gowns, dresses, hats, and scarves, and the best dressed will win a free ticket to the next event!

The finest Psyhypnocosmotronic Technofunkadelia this side of the Multiverse!

𝗡𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻 (Sonic Sourcery)
This young whippersnapper of a wizard will be opening the moon stage with dark-shamanic downtempo. Having consumed way too many "medicinal" mushrooms, this Sonic Sourcerer will attempt to test a series of powerful new spells which are entirely beyond his capability, resulting in either an explosion of pure psychedelic wonder or a complete technical breakdown of the whole event and a big mess to clean up with an erratic mop called "Walt" as his only tool.
