On Halloween weekend, Seattle will be visited by Akufen, one of worlds the most in-demand tech-house artists. Plasmodium Events has pulled out all the stops, including 2 rooms of music, a state of the art KV2 sound system, multimedia installations, visual art/gallery showings, decorations, stage set deisgns, fruit and treats served by the Robert Palmers girls, a small gift for everyone who arrives in costume and an open bar (paid for by Plasmodium while supplies last) from 9-10pm.
	Marc Leclair aka Akufen has come a long way in the four years since the release of his now-classic debut album, My Way. Since the 2002 release he's garnered a reputation as one of the world's most in-demand DJ's, delivering prime-time sets to exuberant crowds on nearly every continent. In addition to the dozens of singles he's issued, Leclair holds a monthly residency at London's famed Fabric nightclub, runs his own label Musique RisqueZ, and has remixed such genre-defining artists as Richie Hawtin, Cabaret Voltaire, Yello, Massive Attack, Thomas Dolby, Mike Shannon, and Thomas Brinkmann. Between his Akufen and Horror Inc monikers, Leclair has released on the notable labels Perlon, Force Inc, Mille Plateaux, Nova Mute, Circus Company, Motor Music, Mutek_Rec and Soundslike. His DJ sets are tech-house crowd-pleasers; his performance at Decibel 2005 left many legs weary, and this time he's sure to do it again. Website Slot time: 12:00-2:00 (Main Room) Lusine is the brainchild of Jeff McIlwain for his visceral, melodic vision of abstract electronic music. Having attended Cal Arts to study 20th century electronic music and sound design for music and film, he first began creating his lush interpretation of IDM many years ago. Since then, he has recorded for labels such as !K7/MAS, Hymen and Delikatessen, all aside from his prolific output for pioneering American IDM label Isophlux. Since making the move to Ghostly in 2003, Lusine has released the Push and Flat Remixes 12's, as well as the stunning and widely-lauded Serial Hodgepodge full-length from 2004. A veteran of URB magazine's "Next 100" series, Lusine is one of the foremost American producers in the abstract field and an artist with a boundless future in his craft. Website Slot time: 11:00-12:00 (Main Room) As well as being a guest DJ at many clubs in the Seattle area, Kristina has performed in Frankfurt, Bogot, Medellin and various major US cities, sharing the stage with such artists as John Tejada, Joel Mull, Dan Bell, Mike Grant, Minx, Bassnectar, Brian Aneurysm and Marcus Nicolai. She is a resident of Tost Lounge and Krakt, founded Plasmodium Radio and is the Sponsorship Coordinator for Decibel. Her work in the Seattle scene has made her a popular Northwest DJ, combining excellent track selection and mixing skill with the energy and charisma it takes behind the decks to get dance floors moving. Website Slot time: 10:00-11:00 (Main Room) Carter Wade aka Love Virus has been playing records for over 7 years. His music selection is wide - from minimal to ragga to breaks, jungle, hip-hop, funk and downtempo. He will be closing out the Bad Juju this evening with his flawless brand of lounge-y beats. Website Slot time: 11:30-1:30 (Side Room) As a pioneering DJ, Tamara has appeared at clubs, events, festivals, and radio all over the world. Australia, Canada, Barcelona, Paris, Prague, London, New York and other various US cities have danced to her technical, thoughtful and soulful sets. Her residencies include Uniting Souls in Seattle, Ohm in Washington DC, and as an original crew and a longtime resident of ORGANIC, she helped make Friday night at the Art Bar a Seattle drum and bass staple. Tonight she will be keeping it mellow in the Bad Juju to contrast the 4/4 rhythms in the main room. Website Slot time: 10:15-11:30 (Side Room) Nordic Soul is the solo moniker of Decibel Festival brainchild Sean Horton.

Raumschmiere, Luomo, John Tejada, New Breed, Boom Bip, Richard Devine, Blue Scholars, Outhud, Tipper, Phonecia, Electric Birds, Four Tet, Lusine, Matthew Dear and Derrick May. As a performer Nordic Soul brings to the stage charisma and technical prowess. Horton also performs on the laptop with synth-pop quartet Synth Club (featuring Reggie Watts on vocals) and the soulful house quintet Loveslap (featuring KJ Sawka on drums). He has an extensive collection of funk, jazz and soul, which is what he will be playing tonight. Website Slot time: 9:00-10:15 (Side Room)
	Club parties these days are seriously lacking in the visual aesthetic department. In effort to remedy this, Plasmodium will include visual art with stellar musical presentation. The walls of the mezzanine level will be adorned with the work of Bob Hansen and Joe Walker. Hansen is one-half of the hugely popular electronic music duo Jacob London, and like many artists, his talents are not limited to one medium. Joe Walker's work is unique and interesting; the wall-hanging, internally lit wooden sculptures will grace the walls of Neumos for one night only. Sean Frego and Scott James continue to dazzle and impress audiences with their intriguing multimedia performances. These two members of The Now Device have collaborated with Plasmodium to literally set the stage with a party environment very un-Seattle. They will be presenting live visuals for the evening as well as a looped multimedia installation.
	If you weren't at Decibel 2005 or 2006 you've probably never heard a sound system like this. Yes, it's loud - 15 kilowatts loud - but it is also crystal clear. You will hear sounds in your favorite song you didn't know were there, and your ears won't ring when the music stops. Yes, everyone who arrives in costume will receive a gift. But even without the little treats, who wants to go to a Halloween party in their day clothes? In the first of many appearances by the Plasmodium Ladies, these girls will revive Robert Palmer for one evening with special treats just for you: fresh fruit, home-made chocolates, candies and pastries. Yes, Plasmodium will be picking up the bar tab from 9-10pm... or from 9 to whenever the tab runs out. Drinks will be served on the mezzanine level. Get there early and get your free drink on!
