o9 Live at Infiltrate 3.0

INFILTRATE 3.0........... In 1999, Pl3x, a local design and print company, together with various organizations among the urban and experimental electronic community formed the first annual Infiltrate 1.0 in Miami. Infiltrate was held on March 13, the opening day of the infamous Winter Music Conference, as an act of defiance. We gained access to and attached ourselves to the largest electronic music beach festival ever held in South Beach (a 2 block long event on the beach itself). This beach festival has become the head of the beast, if you will, for what this conference represents; showcasing strictly huge commercial and mainstream acts. Pl3x secured a large vending spot and instead of selling anything, a large sound system was brought in and some of the most respected underground talents from Miami and around the world were invited to stop by; talents that would normally be shunned by both Ultra and the conference in general. This covert and subversive act was in reaction to the fact that although the conference is held here in our hometown, Miami's wealth of talented musicians and innovative labels are ignored. Our belief was that, rather to ignore it or just wave our angry fists, we'd become a parasite within the underbelly of the beast and feed off it for the advancement of our cause. Pl3x and Miami's underground took action and now the aural virus known as Infiltrate has since spread. The goal is to spread until the host feels the symptoms of our musical rebellion here in Miami. Now in 2001, 2 years later, Pl3x's Infiltrate 3.0 has become stronger and has reached its next stage of development. Headed by Pl3x, Beta Bodega, Exedra, Etihad,Counterflow Recordings and joined by fellow local independent labels such as Metatronix, Rice and Beans, Merck, Mass Transit and Dopamine as well as special guests from around the globe, Infiltrate 3.0 will once again represent and showcase the best in underground urban and experimental electronic music. The virus has spread into 3 levels: level A. electronic and hip hop hybrids level B. abstract techno and electro level C. microsound and experimental Saturday March 24 Opening Night Churchill's 5501 NE 2nd Ave Miami (Little Haiti) Churchill's, located in Miami's Little Haiti community, is a shrine to local underground and abstract music as a whole. Established in 1979, this British Pub has served as the breeding ground for Miami's punk, hardcore, electronic, and experimental scene. The key has been in the owner and management's willingness to give every type of act, no matter how bizarre or left-field, a chance when no one else would. Twenty-two years later, it remains ground-zero and a haven for non-commercial musical expression. This makes Churchill's the only place to commence the anti-conference. The first shots in 2001's Infiltrate 3.0 will be fired from Little Haiti. Order of line up to be announced. Starting at 9:00pm sharp with Infiltrate registration. Shuttle pick up time and location from South Beach and Downtown to be announced. Monday March 26 Closing Night Club Z (formerly Mission) 637 Washington Ave Miami Beach (South Beach) Now Club Z, but once known as Mission. Mission was run and managed by fans of underground electronic music. This was evident. In a sea of clueless and money hungry managed clubs on South Beach, Mission was host to Miami's longest running Drum n' Bass weekly and to a slew of other quality electronic events. Mission's old management has been brought back to run things for the Winter Music Conference, just in time to allow us to host our closing event in a place where many local underground Miami dj's and artists have left many fond memories. In keeping with the Infiltrate "mission," we end our activities in grand fashion, well within the belly of the beast, inside South Beach. Where we will lay dormant until 2002. Order of line up to be announced. Starting at 9:00pm sharp with Infiltrate registration. $10.........no guestlist, no vip, no badges, no bullshit. support.
