HALLUCINOGEN
HALLUCINOGEN Live

United Kingdom

Hallucinogen is the stage name of Simon Posford (born 1971), an electronic musician specializing in Goa trance music from England. His early work was as an engineer on the T.I.P. (Raja Ram) and Dragonfly (Youth) labels. His first album, Twisted, was one of the most widely influential electronic music recordings of its time and helped to define the psychedelic trance genre. The follow-up album, The Lone Deranger, only cemented his influence.
From then on, Posford ventured into numerous collaborations with other artists. His most notable projects involve artists such as Raja Ram (Shpongle), Martin Glover (Celtic Cross), Marc Brownstein from The Disco Biscuits, and Prometheus a.k.a. Benji Vaughan (Younger Brother).

SHPONGLE DJ SET
SHPONGLE DJ SET by Simon posford

United Kingdom

Shpongle (pronounced /ˈʃpɒŋɡəl/) is a psychedelic downtempo or Psybient music project. The core members are Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one third of The Infinity Project), but they often collaborate with other artists. Their sound has sampled easternethnic instruments and western contemporary synthesizer-based psychedelic music. Posford is responsible for the synth and studio work while Raja Ram contributes with flute arrangements.
The name "Shpongle" is not a dictionary recognized word; it is derived from a rumor when Raja Ram was asked at a party to see how he was feeling. He replied "I feel...Shpongled.".
Shpongle's first track, Vapour Rumours, was released on TIP Records' Infinite Excursions compilation in 1996. Their debut album, Are You Shpongled?, was released 1998 on Twisted Records. Are You Shpongled? and Twisted Records' first downtempo compilation, ...and the Day Turned to Night, were influential in the then-small psychedelic downtempo genre.

DIGITAL MYSTERY TOUR is a collective of composers living all over the planet. It all started in the year 2000 in Tokyo when Stephane Holweck asked Michio Baba to write music with him and made a track together.
Back in Europe Guillaume Thévenin, Florian Sériot, and Loic Vanpoucke joined the projet. Getting every body together in the studio proved difficult so they started to meet and write through the web using their computers running the same software
The first album "Digital Mtstery Tour" was released by Twisted Records It's a journey into ambience with the subtle flavor of previous releases by both Stephane’s band TOTAL ECLIPSE and Michio Baba as an innovative artist & producer from Tokyo, the music lilts from side to side teasing the listener with ambient electronic atmospherics before jumping into a profusion of funky electro beats and rhymes that will keep all heads nodding whether at home or out on the town. D.M.T. blend the best of world music flavors with modern digital psychedelic production.
The latest album "DMT Express" was release on Iboga Records new sublabel for chillout music, Sofa Beatsin september2005.
It' s an open door to dream land, with a good dose of romanticism and emotions. It is a bit like traveling from outerspace to the jungle The production of the album is this time far more analogique guitares, flutes, vocal, percusions...

TRANAN

TRANAN LIVE-Solstice Music

Sweden

Music has always been a great passion in Jonas life and as a young boy he played the piano. In his teens the music interest went from hard rock to punk and hip hop, but he never really found what he was looking for. In 1993, Jonas Pettersson met Dennis Tapper and together they discovered the psy-trance scene. (Dennis is the one responsible for Jonas nickname, that later became the name of his solo project, Tranan. Tranan means the crane, a skinny bird with very tall legs that has a somewhat resemblance to Jonas appearance) Jonas got hooked instantly and a couple of years later he and Dennis started the Hux Flux project. They felt that the music they wanted to hear didnt exist so they might as well make it themselves. The first Hux Flux album Cryptic Crunch was released in 1997 and was followed by many gigs around the world on the side of a fulltime day job. In 1998 Jonas left Hux Flux and started Logic bomb with Johan Krafft, and later Jonaz Bergvall. He was also working on his solo project Tranan on the side and had his first release, the single Moody, on Flow Records in 1999. In 2000 Jonas quit his day job and put all his attention into the Logic Bomb project. Soon after that, Logic Bomb released their first album Headware on Spiral Trax and in 2002 their second album Unlimited was released on TIP World Records. The albums were very successful and followed by heavy touring that took Jonas to all continents except Antarctica , with highlights like Solstice Music Festival in Japan 2002, Boom Festival 2000 and Samothraki 2002 and 2003. In the category Not so very good gigs, Solstice Music Festival 2001 can be mentioned. In front of 8000 excited Japanese fans, the whole system went dead. In addition to touring as Logic Bomb, Jonas made a name for himself while DJ:ing as Tranan. In 2003, Jonas decided to cut down on touring and focus on music production, especially on his solo project Tranan.

DOMINO
DOMINO DJ SET

United Kingdom

DJ Domino is the first trance female DJ to be recognized all over the world. Her dynamic, energetic DJ style is filled with beautiful melodies which gets her into a trance dance herself while playing. She has an innate ability to create a mysterious atmosphere while bringing people together on the dance floor. Domino was born in England in 1972. Her exotic appearance is a result of her West Indian, Chinese and British ancestory. Domino was raised in Goa, India from when she was five by her mother. Goa, India is the spiritual origin of trance music similar to Ibiza, Spain. People from all over the world have gone to Goa seeking creativity, and freedom in every way, finding their inner-selves , or just simply to dance to trance music in the nature.... Naturally, Domino was influenced at a very young age by all kinds of electronic music like Front 242, Yellow, The The, Kraftwork, Nitzer Ebb and many others. Domino was scouted as a model during her teenage years and modeled swimwear and expensive designer wear for a Swiss magazine called "Living in Zurich". She thought she could do something more challenging and decided to become a DJ at the age of eighteen. Surprisingly, she began mixing tracks with a walkman and making many mix tapes for her friends. She began collecting all kinds of music like Voodoo People, Juno Reactor, Hallucinogen, Eat Static and Resistance D. Eventually, Mike Maguire from Juno Reactor heard Domino play in Goa and was astonished. In 1991, Domino decided to go and explore more of Europe and ended up in England as a dance performer for Eat Static at the famous Brixton Academy and other clubs. After performing a couple of times for Eat Static, Domino kept Djing and Mike Maguire gave her an incredible opportunity. 1995 was Domino's overseas DJ debut in England with Juno Reactor (Ben Watkins, Mike Maguire, and Paul Jackson). She was the opening DJ for the event and used her walkman at the time. She got such an amazing feedback from the crowd they decided to tour together for the year in England, France and Greece.. In 1996, DJ Domino played in Yokohama, Japan for the first time at an Equinox sposored party at Yokohama Bay Hall. At first people didn't know what to expect from a female DJ but gradually when Domino started playing the music began to swell, the crowd started to roar and people danced, their hearts pounding. The whole party lifted into a unified force. Since that time , the Japanese people and culture have captured Domino's heart. A message from Domino, " The Japanese People are warm hearted and full of energy on the dance floor. I think I get the most energy playing here in Japan. I also love shopping here because you can get unusual things. I have made a lot of great friends here in Japan." In 1997 DJ Domino's first mix CD, EQ001, was released from Equinox in Japan. Since then, she has been playing all over the world in Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Holland(Amsterdam), India(Bombay, Bangalore), Israel, Japan, Portugal, Spain (Ibiza), and the United States (New York and Los Angeles). DJ Domino also played in open air festivals like the Antaris(Germany), Boom festival (Portugal) and Equinox (Japan). In 2000 DJ Domino's second mix CD, EQ011, was releasd from Equinox in Japan. Domino also wanted to give more opportunities and confidence to other female artists and DJ's in the art scene so she created a new project with other female organizers involving only female artists, VJ's, decoration and PA. Since then she has organized three female events, all of them resulting in big successes. This has not only given female artists confidence but also shown people there is something more important, which is "love" A female who was brought up in the so called "sacred place of trance music" is now giving full energy, strength and love to the world.

He has turned up the heat in recent years, burning miles across the globe and sharing his enthusiasm for music and life via Macbook, Machinedrum and two Korg’s.

His range of inspiration fuels his indefinable sound, gathering ideas through early Hip-Hop, House, Industrial and finally Techno. Channeling these expressions through his performances has earned him center stage at places like I Love Techno, Nature One, Awakenings, Tresor, Berghain, Chris Liebing’s Spinclub, Kozzmozz, Fuse, and even the closing of the famous La Real in Spain.

In 2005 Tony met Tim Xavier and Camea in Brooklyn, and they began releasing together on Clink Recordings. He has contributed to five of their releases as a solo artist, and collaboratively with Tim as the Afternoon Coffee Boys. He ignited the label’s popularity with his biggest record of 2007, Kreuzberg Krunk. Tony also works with Alexi Delano, Dietrich Schoenemann and Dave Shokh (Dirka Dirka) on numerous projects and his work has been featured on top labels such as Cocoon, Weave, Podium and Frankie Records.

2008 is set to be Tony’s biggest year with two releases on Clink, one Techno and a new side of Rohr set for this summer, a House release!

Boston
Brazil

It all began back in the late 90's,
Rafael was 16, and just starting to enjoy the night life of clubs,
big rave parties, and the Brazilian electronic music scene. Back then, techno,
house and all the different elements were growing really fast. He became
interested in learning some mixing techniques, so at the end of 1999 decided to take DJing classes.
One year later Rafael was playing in the night clubs of Sao Paulo.
He discovered Psytrance 9 years ago, and he had been making way into it since then.
Rafael played in several open air, private, rave parties and in 2004 joined
the crew of Tranced Festival and Goa Parties of Sao Paulo. He has a very versatile style,
eclectic maybe (taking where he is from!) that goes from soft to hard, with lots of groove, beat, ethnic sounds.
The last few months he spent intensely studying Music Theory and Music Production at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Through these efforts he has greatly improved his mixing techniques, sound quality and style.
Rafael believes that every sound around us can and should be inspiring, put into harmony and transcend into music.

Colorado
USA



Currently based in Colorado, MSoB is the Psytrance project of Producer/DJ Christopher Cox. A lifelong musician, Chris discovered psychedelic music in the late 90s, and began DJing in 2000. Within a few years, he realized that he couldn't always find tracks which would adequately express his ideas and create the sort of vibe he envisioned - so he began teaching himself how to record and produce music. Since making the switch to a laptop based performance, the line has begun to blur between production and DJing; a typical MSoB set includes original tracks, original remixes, and other artist's tracks, with a heavy emphasis on live sound manipulation using both software and hardware effects, as well as live synth sounds and samples.

ELECTRIK

ELECTRIK Psybotik-Dj Set
NYC
USA

My first psytrance party was unexpected. While waiting after a missed connection in a train station I was approached by two Italians, "Do you want to go to a party...free camping?" Into the Tuscan mountains we hiked and my life was never the same. Lowerground was the first venture undertaken, focusing mostly on electronically fused jam bands and DJs. Things quickly progressed to New Yorkwhere Psybotik was born. After dabbling with a few events in the city and a couple amongst the desert crew, my horizons have broadened. Techno, Electro House, Breaks and all those grimey beats have found a warm place in my heart, but psytrance is still my passion. Whatever the flavors may be...the funk will be in the flow.
