Well well.
Yes yes!!!

Exciting developments ahoy in the human realm!
2 of our human counterparts, those known as @djthornback and the mysterious man of much mystery known only as Shelve Life, have chosen to create a convergent node within the portal structure tomorrow.

What does this mean, I hear you ask?
(Yes we can read your thoughts at great distances)
What this means for the fortunate humans in attendance, is that a highly charged and focused energy node will be inserted at the moment of opening the portal, thus invigorating and expanding upon the available frequencies, allowing for greater depth of experience in all dimensions of your celebratory experience.

In your music-scene-speak, this arrangement is known as back-2-back. This seems uncouth to us, as we have foreseen the 2 standing side-by-side. However, you are human, we are not.
We can overlook this inconsistency in your use of language as our excitement overrides our need for correctness at this time.

@djthornback X Shelve Life
3 hours B2B, opening the proceedings.
Only fools turn up late!
Don’t be a fool!

DAE it!!

It is almost time, dear humans.
In the early hours of your Friday, the Moon will turn red.
The Lunar Eclipse is here, and our portal will open in glorious conjunction!
It is time once again to dance!

At the appointed hour, the ceremony will begin.
8pm.
When will it end? That remains to be seen.
It is your festival time and so the party must go on…
Extended celebrations galore!
We are pleased to offer this.
In our own realm a celebration can last for several of your weeks…

Let us join together and create an upsurge of energies the likes of which is rarely seen in this world!

All is prepared.
We are ready.
Are you?
Let’s DAE it!

Well well well!
Humanoids you did not disappoint!
We wanted to party, and you came to party!

06.06.26 was our D(a)ebut contact event in your realm. Our Birth-Dae, you might say. 😜
And your instinct for celebrating is strong! So potent indeed that you guys filled the room before we began the ceremony!
OUTSTANDING!!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Rarely have we encountered a species who love to make mischief and merriment as much as we do!
You lot are wild!
The vibes and the temperature in the room were HIGH HIGH HiGH!🔥🔥🔥
All night long.
We were most pleased and wish you all to feel our gratitude.
Those who came to dance, we salute you!
Your collective energies created just the right frequency for our portal to open.
Now our worlds are entwined and we may work more closely together in the near future.
To the humans who made it happen, from the strange and stunning visuals courtesy of “Stevie@4Nil” on YOUTUBE, to stellar sets traversing techno, jungle, hardcore, bass, electro and more, we had an absolute blast and have already begun putting the next event’s plans into motion!
The mischief of the projector sheet falling down brought us great mirth - for Dae two, we’re gonna need a bigger roll of duct tape! 😀

Special thanks to @hammay for his masterclass set - the perfect first guest! He understood the mission and delivered beyond our expectations! Bravo! What a playful young sprite!

And of course our resident humanoids, @neiltemplardj, @djthornback and the man they call “Shelve Life” for digging deep to surface choice tunes and keep the energy at optimum levels all night. Superb!
And of course @thesafarilounge for access to the underground space. An ideal location for such gatherings!
And last but not least @ipaintportals for the colourful artefacts that catalysed the connection grid.
We look forward to seeing more of these at future gatherings.

Drop a comment if you came and tell us what your favourite tracks or moments of the night were!

We will dance again in your month of August.
We’re told you have a great festival at that time.
It feels fitting to return during that cycle.
Watch out for further information drops…

DAE it! by @ipaintportals

Dae is a manifestation of the intersection of 3 independent entities, (The Others) communicating via human avatars, connected and vibrating in coherent geometries.
A Triskelion, if you will.
Each resonating within a specific wavelength of expression.
The combining of these frequencies is designed to be much to your liking and of great benefit to your human vessels.
Bassline frequencies will be modulated and escalated accordingly.

Let us introduce the first of the 3 -

“WEEDS” that everyone recognises and most folk remove from their gardens.
Filled with more nutrients and natural medicinal properties than anything you’re likely to find in the produce department at your local supermarket.

We have been so removed from awareness of the abundance that lies at our feet all over the UK.

Before you dig them out, have a dig on the internet, see what you can learn about these amazing allies that grow wild anywhere they’re allowed..💚💚💚

Mating toads carry profound symbolic meaning across cultures and spiritual traditions, primarily representing fertility, abundance, and the cyclical nature of life. Their act of mating is deeply tied to themes of rebirth, transformation, and the union of opposites—such as the spiritual and material, or the conscious and unconscious.
Fertility and Abundance: Toads are prolific breeders, and their mating ritual symbolizes the power of creation, both physically and spiritually. In many traditions, especially Native American and Asian folklore, this act is linked to the arrival of rain, the flourishing of crops, and the nurturing of life.
Transformation and Rebirth: The toad’s life cycle—from water-born tadpole to land-dwelling adult—mirrors the journey of personal evolution. Mating toads thus represent a sacred moment of transition, where potential becomes reality, echoing the concept of spiritual rebirth.
Spiritual Union: In Jungian psychology, the toad symbolizes the shadow—the hidden, often rejected parts of the self. Mating, in this context, can represent the integration of the shadow with the conscious ego, leading to wholeness and psychological healing.
Sacred Connection to Nature: In the Greater Mekong Subregion and other parts of Asia, frogs and toads are associated with deities, rain, and Buddhist symbolism. Their mating is seen as a divine act, aligning human life with natural and cosmic rhythms.
Seeing two mating toads—whether in dreams, nature, or art—can be interpreted as a spiritual message to embrace change, trust in natural processes, and honor the hidden forces that bring forth new life. by @ipaintportals

Texture
I’m all about texture
The question of what lies beneath
Every surface, every shadow, every reflection of light
Tell stories of something unseen beneath the surface
Dimensions hidden from view
Suggestions of another world

Tune
Something Going On
