Pre-Compression Flambe Lounge! Imagine being very ticklish. And then finding yourself surrounded by a huge ring of people running towards you with their hands out in front of them and thie fingers in their tickling stance. That doesn’t quite describe the state of Pre-Compression, but why would it? Just like Burning Man itself – you must go to really know. And what an experience this Pre-Comp will be, with a smattering of some of the best elements of Burning Man, and the musical talent to have you swinging from the rafters. On the decks will be Adnan, BreakBeatBuddha, Piotron, Samira, and more, and Funky Beulah, Gooferman, and Kepi & Kat are just a few of the live performances present for the night. You’ll hear, dance, and get tickled to everything from house to breaks, progressive, circus, and storytime, as well as experience the TRASHion show and chill next to Mutant Vehicles and amazing art.
