July 17 Saturday
Ashevile NC – RAVED – multigenre party featuring many psychedelic artists
Doctor Evil – Fast Lane Records – Minneapolis, MN America’s most talented hardcore producer. If you liked Delta-9 the doctor will eat your face. If you thought Tron was hot shit, you might change your mind after hearing the subversive psychedelic soundscapes spiraling from the speakers. His sounds are deeply layered with lots of hip hop, classic rock/metal, movie samples, and retarded amounts of bass. Do not miss this ultra-rare performance by the true master of hardcore techno. Skroller – AudioGnomes.com – Psybreaks.ning.com – Subassasins.com – Minneapolis, MN The one, the only, world-famous Skrollercoaster of Love, say WHAT? This is a very special treat as we will be having him play two sets. The first one will be classic era Skrollerized fruitstep on our alternate stage, and we’re going save the best for last by holding back his revolutionary Psystep step for the close of the event. We highly recommend pacing yourself so you have the energy to dance at 5 am. Aaron Robinson – Kinderhood.com Just back from Europe, this Minneapolis original has been molesting the funky beats since 1997 and has an epic collection of 1000’s of true gems. We asked him to bring only the best and we know we’re in for a treat. Whether its mellow rhythmic hip thrust music or jacking Chicago house, you won’t be disappointed by the music or his luscious locks. Lizzard Panties – https://web.archive.org/web/20111001010842/http://www.thosepeopleProductions.com/ I hope you have spare brain cells and underwear. Ever heard eight decks of face rape before? Ever been touched inappropriately? Stop! Don’t touch me there, I need to speak to an adult! Imagine Brain Lizzard and Panties the Clown with four CDJ’s each and a passport to the nether regions of Uranus. Expect expert sample manipulation and amazing layering in the only thing we could come up with to bring the music up a notch from the Doctor’s powerful energies without losing the manifestation. Krackle and Skip – North Carolina via MN and NY This extra special monkey business will be the true Nate on Nate(HardkorNate vs Panties the Clown) experience you didn’t know you were fiending for. This is going to be a crash course in the history of hardcore as both veteran DJ’s propel you through the full evolution of hardcore techno all the way from 1991 to right about when Dr. Evil took over. Mixtress Krikett – Charlotte, NC – One of our favorite southeastern DJs, Krikett refuses to fit any molds and brings joy and color to any situation. We’re having her play full-on psytrance AND hardstyle, so don’t forget to eat your vitamins! Koji – Charlotte, NC – This towering DJ from ancient days is going to bridge the gap between the dark and light. Bring a hanky and some glitter for this one. Dark Matter – Minneapolis, MN – https://web.archive.org/web/20170925034356/http://embracethelight.org/ – Join us as we welcome the midwest’s hottest upcoming psychedelic progressive DJ. The dark one will lay down the smooth mind-expanding melodies to start our night off. That’s right, the music will kick ass from the very get-go, so get there before we open to ensure you don’t miss a thing. Local Support from – Axis Mundi, Brian Lizzard, Panties the Clown & CinderVomit – The southeast’s premier Dark and Neuro artists will each be dropping their versions of dubstep, chill, and tribal ambient. We anticipate this being pretty creepy and sexy at the same time. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… Xist – Asheville, NC – The local queen of drum and bass will be bringing it hard and fast, cutting and chopping her way through your face. Aloysius – Asheville, NC – A fresh transplant from Baltimore, Aloysius will be bringing his hometown flava’, which is to say, lots of drum and bass and doin’ it right. HardkorNate – Asheville, NC – Hardkornate.com – If a unicorn could fart while listening to Def Leppard, it might sound like this. Four decks of psytrance mixed with anything he can get his hands on. Pure meltage of facial units. Location – The Garage at Biltmore – 101 Fairview Rd. Suite B, Asheville, NC 28803 Doors at 9pm $5 if in line before we open $10 otherwise 18+ w/valid ID Absolutely no drugs, markers, bad attitudes, stank odors, fighting, ebola, unicorn poaching, rainbow smuggling, dream-crushing, or pedophilia of any sort. This is a benefit for our dear friend, Little Anni, who recently had a pile of tumors removed from her brain. Come be awesome & dance with us for an awesome cause! PLUR is encouraged.
Thanks, Nate for having us out. Panties destroyed it gabber style, then when he and lizzard merged, that was one of the most woozy set’s I’ve ever heard..super hypnotic and strange!! Thanks to axis mundi for the colab slambient live set Sunday morning. Shit was inteeense!

Since that time she has toured New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Canada, Hawaii and all over California and frequently appears at the Synchronize weekly in San Francisco, gaining momentum with each awe-inspiring performance. Her ever-popular high energy performances have made her such a favorite on the festival circuit that she has graced the stages of Desiderata, Space Gathering, Alchemy Festival, and the RedMarines Music Festival so far this year and will play at the Eclipse Summer Electronic Music Festival this coming weekend. In addition to our special guest, the Dreamcatchers are also proud to welcome several local favorites back to Psycheground.

9pm-3am Special Guests: DRUMATIK (Peak Records/Mind Expansion, Switzerland) LIVE Drumatik is Benjamin Klingemann, born in 1980 he’s one of Switzerland’s well established DJ’s for more than ten years now playing for the respected labels Peak Records and Mind Expansion. His first album experience “Peak Process” was released on Peak Records in 2006 as several releases on compilations! PROGRESS (AntiShanti Records, USA) LIVE PROGRESS, the project of Yuriy Vaskevich, is an evolution of sound that brings a world of fantasy and imagination to its listeners. Based in New York City, an energetic hub, the music is a reflection of its physical origin as well as the mental evolution of its composer. With a strong foundation in classic music, mainly of piano and guitar, and a post-modern ambition, the sound is both organic and electronic. The project began in the late 1990s with an exploration of personal identity and experimentation with various styles of electronic music. Today, PROGRESS, ranges in style from psychedelic trance, ambient and chill-out, to avant-garde and experimental. Having played at several live venues in the United States and written film scores, PROGRESS has a rapidly growing acclaim. As the name implies, the music is always progressing with the common denominator being its inspiring melodies and a strong tendency to take its listeners on a colorful journey. https://web.archive.org/web/20170929101131/http://www. Iprogress.us/ EG~BOT & LAURYN (Peak Records/Mayan Grind/PSI, Philadelphia) David McGee (aka Eg~Bot) and Lauryn are currently based in Philadelphia, PA where they help throw monthly psytrance parties and DJ for the Swiss label Peak Records. Both finding their musical roots early in life, they have been DJing Goa/psychedelic trance for longer than they can remember, and more recently have begun brewing their own spumescent concoction of psychedelic trance music. Individually they have played across the US, Canada, and in Europe sharing the stage with many well know international acts. They joined forces in late 2007, and have been DJing collaboratively ever since. Prepare for a twisting journey through psychedelia past present and future… http://www.peakrec.com/ HYPNOTOAD (Light-o-Matic/PSI, NYC) A hard-working 10 year veteran of the psy community, Hypnotoad has mesmerized many dancefloors with his unique and varied style: Dark fast and rhythmic night time music, deep flowing twilight sounds, tech-ey melodic mornings… But always trippy, always danceable, always with the goal of inducing the pure joy of dancing and the psytrance experience.

Join us on Facebook: event.php?eid139341312752462&refts Featured Artists: Valentina Cordido (Rizumu) – Venezuela, Philadelphia In her own words: My musical influences since an early age have been Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Pink Floyd, and The Doors among others. My passion for DJing is mainly to get a message across that comes straight from my soul so I can express my love through this art and connect with the crowd bringing harmony and profound experiences on the dance floor. The rhythms I select are a mix of deep house, tech-house, techno, and minimal house. I like to keep it varied bringing emotion, intensity, and harmonic flow. I prefer to stay minimal with vocals but when I use them they need to have a positive message with a point of unity and equality. Living in Philadelphia has given me an opportunity to frequent dance parties, art shows and be friendly with the music scene and DJs. Past Performances: Coalesce fest in Maryland Various appearances in Venezuela 2008-WMC in Miami 2007 Various appearances in Philadelphia 2006 Resident at womb.tv radio station from 2005-2006 Gavin (Spectra/Positive Pressure) – New York Gavin has been involved in dance music since he organized his first party and started DJing in 1998. From the first Spectra parties in New York to his involvement as a DJ in the international scene, the consistent element has always been forward-thinking music. Avoiding genre classifications is essential to Gavin’s sound. Expect funky, intelligent music mixed with precision and a natural feel for the dancefloor. Festival and club gigs have taken Gavin all over the globe. Notable stops include performances in Brazil, Casablanca, Marrakesh, Zurich, Geneva, Cologne, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Croatia. North American appearances include Cancun, Vancouver, New York, Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, and many more. Gavin is an artist who loves what he does and takes both pride and pleasure in sharing what he considers to be the most innovative music around. Kife (Omnitribe/Positive Pressure) – New York Kife brings a subtle yet powerful groove to the dance floor. With a penchant for bass, sweet melodic hooks, and long, evolving mixes, his sets whip many styles and genres into a smooth blend. A member of NYC’s Omnitribe since its inception in 2001, Vlad has been involved in the production of a few successful festivals – Omni Dance (USA), Gaian Mind (USA), Aurora (Greece) – among other numerous events. His own Productions and remixes are now appearing on record labels worldwide.

Each session becomes something new by mixing living camera images with self-made videos they give birth to visual material.

LF Bar/Lounge in NYC any1 know of a bar or lounge in Manhattan or upper Brooklyn that has an extant sound system and has a room for dancing, ideally would have an existing crowd and have an area for smoking. Id like to find a new venue for a weekly, and my old friend who owned Karma died recently and it’s been difficult lining anything up there. I know we could get something going with at least $1500 going to the bar if the right venue was found. any1 know of a bar or lounge in Manhattan or upper Brooklyn that has an extant sound system and has a room for dancing, ideally would have an existing crowd and have an area for smoking.

This date also coincides with that of one of the oldest celebrations in human history, the birth of the deity Ganesh. The Equinox community, in Ganesh’s honor, will be mirroring this energy from across the world, nestled in the sacred forests and foothills of Deerfields, for three days and two nights. WE PROVIDE: Two stages of sound and light, three days of camping in one of America’s most scenic and tranquil locations, psychedelic music, art, community, and reunion with world-renowned musicians, artists, and other creative souls. Vegetarian/vegan-friendly food vending, and a special opening sundance ceremony! YOU PROVIDE Everything you, your family, friends, and loved ones who arrive with you need to survive in the wilderness for three days. PLEASE NO: Fires! Pets! Glass! Drugs! Please respect Mother Earth and Deerfields by not littering, leaving no trace, and being responsible stewards of the beautiful environment you will find yourself in! Lineup: TBA Workshops: TBA Psychedelic Visual Artistry: TBA Charter shuttles to and from the Crab Nebula! This is a rain or shine event. Come prepared!
It really was a wonderful weekend. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. I think you guys more than paid your rain dues current last year. The deco on the main stage was really well done. Best install I’ve seen T.S do. The music thru the weekend was great, and the vibe really nice. Spent some very quality time floating in the lake chatting people up. I also really liked using Deerfields in this configuration. Its been many years since I was last there, but not having to take the half-mile walk down the road to the giant field was a major plus. and massive thanks to those who braved my marathon set Sunday morning. Wow, really nice weekend all around! Super-nice people, great music, great place. The main stage setup was really well done, the altar was cool and the sound system was great. Much thanks to Lou and Brad (??) for the sound. And thanks to everyone else who worked so hard. From the minute we got to the front gate everyone was so nice and so chilled out, we couldn’t help but have a great time. The Deerfields guys actually seemed happy that we were there.. which was really refreshing. And thanks to all those who danced to my set so enthusiastically There were a couple of people who asked me for recordings and I would like to send something to those people, but festivals being what they are, I didn’t get to exchange information with anyone. So if you are one of those people, please contact me through my website http://lightomatic.com/contact.cgi . I didn’t bring a recorder to record my set but I am recording some new mixes in the next couple of weeks.. a groovy-dark mix and a twilight/sunrise mix, which I will send out. Anyway, all told, a great way to end the summer. Much thanks to Touch Samadhi for including me in it. Another amazing year at Equinox! One for the books for sure!!! Many thanks to Touch Samadhi for inviting me to be a part of such a beautiful event. The main stage deco was absolutely astounding and created such a delicious and alien environment. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Fields to blast crazy faces and make the world a stranger place! Much love to you all… A studio recording of the Sunday mourning Bananas on Acid information transmission session will be available later this weekend

Its goal is to open a fresh dialogue about psychedelics and rethink their role in medicine, culture, history, spirituality, and art. This is its third year. Psychedelic s are a unique class of psychoactive ds that has been used by humans for thousands of years. In the 1950s and early 1960s, academic research with psychedelics yielded important discoveries in psychology and neuroscience. Just a few years later, they entered popular culture across North America, Europe, and the world. Questions about their safety, medical value history, and implications in politics and culture were unfortunately answered with numerous myths spread by both their users and the media. The millennial rave fever brought a similar wave of popularity and hysteria. Recently, a renaissance in psychedelic research and dialogue has taken shape. Horizons brings together the brightest minds and boldest voices of this movement to share their insights and dreams for the future. THE SPEAKERS (in alphabetical order) Alicia Danforth is a clinical psychedelic researcher and writer working on Dr. Charles Grob’s Harbor-UCLA cancer anxiety trial with psilocybin.

Andy Letcher is a freelance writer, academic lecturer and folk-musician living in Oxford, UK and the author of the critically acclaimed Shroom: A Cultural History of the Magic Mushroom. Valerie Mojeiko has worked with MAPSthe Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies since 2000, facilitating research of the healing potentials of E (Ecstasy), LSD, Ibogaine and other psychedelic medicines. William Richards, Ph.D. is a psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. In the late 1960s, Dr. Richards worked with Stan Grof, Walter Pahnke, and Richard Yensen, administering l and DPT to terminal cancer patients.

Jonas was motivated by the desire to create music exactly as he wanted to hear it, music that did not yet exist. Hux Flux gigs took him around the world, until he began Logic Bomb in 1998 with Johan Krafft, and later Jonaz Bergvall.

Debut: Time for Change
+ afterparty This film is it. It’s the culmination of a lot of work and effort. And no, it’s not Rambo 4, so they need all the help they can get to help it to critical mass. Let’s help make it happen for Daniel & Co.! a nice plus is that the afterparty is at my new haunt, an awesome Brazillian hot spot where I’ve been running into a lot of people – Pedro has recently DJd there. It is really important that New Yorkers go and see this film and consider the ideas in it. This film is competing in NYC without the level of the promotional budget of Hollywood films, therefore counting on our extended community to recognize the importance of supporting a film that offers a counterculture message, presents clear solutions for contemporary crises explores shamanism and ecological design, promotes consciousness, etc. T his weekend is critical, as a strong attendance will get the film extended. Here’s a description of the film: 2012: Time for ChangeB2 present s an optimistic alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Em my Award nominee JoE3o Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. As conscious agents of evolution, we can redesign post-industrial society on ecological principles to make a world that works for all. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 heralds the birth of a regenerative planetary culture where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink. The film features Sting, Ellen Page, David Lynch, Gilberto Gil, and many other artists and visionaries. It opens Friday at the AMC Loews Village 7 at 66 3rd Avenue (11th St). We will be having panels and Q & As with the filmmakers, subjects of the film, and other co-conspirators after the evening screenings. There will be an afterparty on Friday, at Nublu on Ave C, for ticket stub holders.

MetaForce:ACTIVATE!
Hi everyone – Sadly our Earthdance event that was scheduled for next weekend had to be canceled due to issues with the venue… but as a happy consequence, we are able to deliver an even bigger and better alternative just a few weeks later on Friday 10/15/10! We have amazing art and video ready to go, as well as the one and only Slackbaba (Liquid Records, UK) be ing flown in just from London just for this event. In fact, we have so many wonderful people involved in the production of this party that it can’t be anything but 150% killer! But having your spirits and stomping feet on the dancefloor is required for full lift-off 🙂 Hope to see you there! Details below….. Xx BooM xX Rachel at 6362MetaForce.net web 6362metaforce.net (web 6362metaforce.net/) Greetings Superheroes! You may be surprised to hear that many of our Earthling siblings here in the magic borough of Brooklyn still don’t know that there is a planet in our solar system, far far away, which has been given the astronomical index number of 6362. They have not heard that this is the planet of infinity where the MetaForce was born: a special place where every living creature is bestowed with 2 gifts at birth – – psychedelic perception and full power vibes. As you will no doubt remember, upon arrival on Earth, it became apparent to the MetaForce that Earth’s children have the same gifts within them that we do within us; therefore Gaia became our second home. But we noticed that many of our new planet s offspring often feared their gifts instead of embracing them – – hiding them & covering them with detritus instead of festooning them with jewels. Brothers and Sisters of the MetaForce: our help is needed! It s time to remind our earthbound siblings of their true essence. We are all psychedelic superheroes with the power to change the universe through music, dance, visuals and stomping celebrations.

music, people, vibe, everything was perfect. A huge thank you from Psybotik & tekno*feel*ya to all the people who contributed their hard work & participation that made it happen, you are the reason we do it! A special shout out to Ray, the driver that allowed us to stay much much later than planned, what a treat! Hope you all had a Happy Halloween and stay tuned for details of the next tekno*feel*ya party, Saturday, Dec 11th.
We need your help*, after the party on Saturday 3 or our walkie talkies (Motorola Radius CP200’s) were left at the venue but then picked up by someone (not sure who) that said they would bring them back to us but we think they forgot. We have to return them to avoid a $1500 replacement fee, so if you happened to grab them for us or know of their whereabouts give us a call 917-656-9710.
Spectacular by almost any criteria. Spent the night at the inside area, had a great time. Then a phenomenal morning/early afternoon on the rooftop. Blue skies, friendly people, groovy music, view of Manhattan, etc. etc. Person in Awesome-O costume was also a highlight.

HIKARI & PHILTY presents: The Day the Music Took Over NOV 13 (SAT) 10pm-8am The time is here again to rock the dance floor this November 13th, Saturday. HIKARI teams up with PHILTY to bring you two floors of fun that will last all night and into the morning. We welcome you to take it easy on the first floor with the latest in minimal techno and PROGRESSIVE while we rock the downstairs with our favorite talent in PSYTRANCE which will be another one of those nights you sure don’t want to miss. So be sure to mark your calendars and good vibes to all! AREA 1 Dave Dittmer (Sonic Beating, Boston) Dave Dittmer (Tyrant) is a resident DJ for Sonic Beating’s long-running ‘Psyforia’ in Boston, as well as for the crew’s events at RISE nightclub. He’s performed alongside Hallucinogen/Shpongle, Logic Bomb, Perfect Stranger, Beats Antique, Shane Gobi, Atmos, Bluetech, and many other gifted musicians. Tyrant’s style of psytrance hits hard, but is also harmonious, delicate, and atmospheric; a full range of sound to match the full range of human emotion. EarWorm (3D Vision, NYC/Israel) EarWorm is the psychedelic trance music project of Max Meshiv, born in 1986. Was infected by the psychedelic trance virus at a very young age in Israel, and now resides in New York City to infect others. What started as a fun hobby, writing music with his older brother Noam with just a basic computer eventually took on a more committed path. Here to remind you that the frequency that was, is still present …lurking in the shadows…alternating like day and night…even now, as we pass through the twilight hours…” EarWorm’s music can be heard on dancefloors worldwide and is featured on many top-level psytrance labels such as 3D Vision, Timecode, Spectral rec, Parabola Music, and Digital Psionics just to name a few. Kno-B (Hikari, Japan/Nyc) Kno-B has been involved in the music scene since the early 90’s when he discovered the art of psychoacoustics & the sound of electronic music. In the late 90’s he started to play psytrance alongside of the very founders of the genre itself. Not limited to being in various live bands at the same time also. Ever since then Kno-B has been known as one of the greatest international DJs and producers in the genre of our time. Kno-B’s sound will shift and take your mind for a race. No one comes close to his style of mixing, which has been called by many “the live mix” as he mixes new tracks every three to four minutes without you even noticing, that way keeping you on the dance floor for hours at the time. Kno-B’s style has been called new and brilliant as it’s something you’ve never experienced before. Besides being one of the top industry DJs, he is also working on various new projects that will be released in the near future. You can expect one of his cutting – edge, grand sound sets, that he’s known for all around the globe. Brandon Adams (Dreamcatchers, NYC) Mayur (Psybotik/Spectra/Coalesce/teknofeelya) DJ, academic, and global neuronaut, Mayur has been dedicated to the NYC underground for several years. Opening for such acts as Atmos in Japan, Son Kite in Morocco, and headlining with acts such as Dijital Talk in San Francisco; there seem there’s no place Mayur hasn’t been! Starting about a decade ago with Spectra Productions, Mayur has since then focused his valiant efforts organizing exceptional events with Psybotik. So far this year has had a barrage of dance throbbing sets coming to you almost every weekend if you’re lucky. Stay tuned for his next appearance! AREA 2 Auricula aka Third Ear Syndrome (Bacteria Records) This is the alias of the production duo better known as Third Ear Syndrome that focuses in the techno spectrum of electronic music. Their sound is full-on hard and dark, and with their signature psychedelic twist, is perfect for the peak hours of the night. Their laptop’ less hardware-oriented half DJ set, half live show is high energy and showcases some of the duos production skills. From little dark rooms in Brooklyn to the last four ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL’s in Miami as Third Ear Syndrome they have moved people with their sets full of accents and exclamation points. Formed in Miami by Ramses Santos and Luis D. Gonzalez, both originally hail from Puerto Rico. Now based out of New York City, they have established a solid following with their appealing and aggressive sound. https://web.archive.org/web/20071230114312/http://www.thirdearsyndrome.com:80/ https://web.archive.org/web/20170912004555/http://bacteriarecords.com/ Karmakanik (Gaian Mind / PS1 / Coalesce, Philadelphia) Mastermind behind the legendary PSI parties and the Coalesce festival, Pat has rocked dance floors across the country with his signature blend of auditory stimulation. His sets are known to span a wide range of contemporary electronic dance music, from harder-edged twilight psytrance to progressive electro tech-house. Pat’s versatility, effortless mixing technique, and energetic track selection have combined to make him a crowd favorite. Smooth yet crunchy, raw yet refined, psychedelicious and immensely satisfying. The Sound of the Philly Underground! Sublex (Hikari, Japan) Matias Jofre (S)innerScene) Matias Jofre, born in Argentina, has developed a deep taste of Mnml.Techno.Tech.Chill from around the globe, also spin Electro, Deep, Progressive, House Sessions etc. He started listening to electronic music back in 1992 (Argentina), with music from Voidmortales records. Then the beats started to flow out of his mind and it was time to start experimenting with mixing, designing sounds and producing tracks. Ever since then he’s been inspired by DJs and cultures from around the world. He continues to experiment with techniques and brings them to the dance floor. Constantly working on new music, projects and special events in the underground scene. Matias has played with DJs like Namito, Los Franzetti, Craft & Shadi, Peter Jay, Fahad, Onda Skillet etc. Has also been involved at the Fashion Week in New York for after parties and designing specials sets.

Unified Shenanigans
This event will take place at TWO superb live music venues with killer sound: Littlefield NYC 622 Degraw Brooklyn,NY 11pm to 5am 21+ Brooklyn Crossroads SupperClub 402 3rd Avenue Brooklyn, NY 5am to 1pm 21+ E.V.P has been making psychedelic trance music since 1996, After a few years he Qualified as an RSA approved sound engineer, having studied mixing and mastering of rock music along with synthesis and sequencing using an SSL mixing console and also Macintosh with Logic. After that he has been applying these techniques/skills to produce a high-quality finish to the music, also focusing on keeping the music comfortable to listen to at very high levels. The style he is producing is an individual, positive sound that has many twisted electronic sounds but still keeps a very groovy feel which always energizes the dance-floor. E.V.P has played a very wide range of parties over the last 5 years; small or large free outdoor parties, small or large club events, squat parties, and also more recently since releasing his debut album in Nov 2005 and his side project RealityGrid 1st album in 2007 he has had a large number of major international outdoor festival bookings. He has played in over 30 countries worldwide and already has a number of bookings into the middle of 2008. His 2nd album ‘Holographic Consciousness’ (WildCD008) was met with high regard and had earned him many global and international bookings. Following that 2010 has seen the release of 5 tracks on various European label compilations, and the release of his 2nd RealityGrid album ‘Another Reality’ (WildCD011). E.V.P is also a psychedelic artist having produced album art, flyers, and all of the Wildthings promotional material. REALITY GRID live Originally A collaboration between two UK artists EVP and Avalon, but now the solo project of E.V.P (Alex Diplock). He has been producing for around 10 years and holds RSA Sound engineering qualifications, has released 3 albums, and toured in over 30 countries, playing live and Dj-ing.This Brighton based project 1st album was a great success, setting a fast, groovy and very psychedelic sound, which reflected a very high-end production quality, they quickly stepped into the international festival circuit, their first festival gig being on the main stage at 2am on the closing night at the Soulclipse festival 2006. Since then Avalon moved to Nano recs to produce his album. Alex wanted to continue the style of sound created in their first album, but take it further in terms of production and energy level. So after upgrading the studio and then completing his 2nd E.V.P album he decided to start work on the new RealityGrid Album, now as a solo project, which is now complete and in the shops. The music has received very positive feedback working well both at night and in the sunshine, the album covering the full tempo spectrum from 138-148bpm. SOUTHWILD live SOUTHWILD is the new side project of Jay from RASTALIENS, a veteran psytrance producer from the Black Forest in the deep south of Germany who now resides in Toronto. Together with his friend Ralph(BRAINCELL/SOLAR SPECTRUM) )they founded the psychedelic trance project RASTALIENS over 11 years ago… over the years of playing in clubs and festivals worldwide, RASTALIENS are well known by many people for psytrance with a fun unique style. Throughout many years of production, mastering, and DJing, Jay has found his own unique style of high-quality ‘twilight’ psytrance: kind of a super groovy darker, spaced out twilight psytrance, with a spark of insanity!. Music to have fun to and hopefully something funny for YOUR ears! EARWORM live Earworm is the psychedelic trance music project of Max Meshiv, born in 1986. Was infected by the psychedelic trance virus at a very young age in Israel, and now resides in New York City to infect others. What started as a fun hobby, writing music with his older brother Noam with just a basic computer eventually took on a more committed path. Here to remind you that the frequency that was, is still present …lurking in the shadows…alternating like day and night…even now, as we pass through… DAVE DITTMER Dave Dittmer (Tyrant) is a resident DJ for Sonic Beating’s long-running ‘Psyforia’ in Boston, as well as for the crew’s events at RISE nightclub. He’s performed alongside Hallucinogen/Shpongle, Logic Bomb, Perfect Stranger, Beats Antique, Shane Gobi, Atmos, Bluetech, and many other gifted musicians. Tyrant’s style of psytrance hits hard, but is also harmonious, delicate, and atmospheric; a full range of sound to match the full range of human emotion. LUIS CAMPOS Producer and DJ Luis Campos has launched a professional music career at the age of 14 in his childhood home Sao Paulo, Brazil. A small collection of records was his first inspiration to pick up his first set of Technics turntables. Throughout the first decade of his career, he held residencies at some of the country’s most revered clubs, including Sao Paulo’s Limelight, Victoria Pub, New QG, Gitana among others. Luis’s talents were also showcased at Brazil’s most prestigious music festivals such as Skol Beats and the Love Parade attended by nearly 200,000 people. In the late 90s, Luis founded one of Brazil’s first live electronic bands, Influx. At the release of MTV’s first Amp album, Influx performed for over 30,000 people. It was one of the most memorable performances the band had experienced. Their track entitled “Crack” soon became an MTV favorite, gaining Influx popularity, which spread throughout Brazil, Europe, and North America. Beginning his international career in 2000 Luis had the opportunity to tour across America including Florida (Miami WMC), Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, and New York. Luis has played at internationally acclaimed night clubs such as Love, Exit, Twilo, Spirit, Life, World, B.E.D including the DJ MAG world’s top 100 clubs Cielo, Pacha and Sullivan Room, where he currently holds a 3-year residency. In New York Luis founded Psycheground, a multi-genre underground party that is going to its 7th year of success with more than 100 events. It has become a beacon for the underground electronic music scene of NYC. In 2008 Luis Campos joined forces with Matyas Kelemen to form the Reality Engine project. A one of a kind dance music-driven project that creates an articulate blend of original music production, synchronized videos, and holographic projections. FRACTAL PHONO Fractal Phono is best known for his “quirky and murky” psychedelic progressive trance DJ sets, as well as occasionally playing tripped-out minimal techno. As resident DJ for Gaian Mind in Philadelphia, USA, Rory has evangelically spread the Zenon sound across the land. Super squishy, yet articulate bass lines, and deep-dark, psychedelic grooves have always been the main ingredients in F.P.‘s performances regardless of genre. KABAYUN Kabayun is the project of David Mostoller, who is also a member of Unwashed Tomato with Andy Aylward. As Unwashed Tomato, Andy and Dave developed a heavy yet playful nighttime sound, producing a varied body of work that has reached to all corners of the globe, pushing the boundaries of intelligent night-oriented psychedelic trance music. Kabayun’s music intends to challenge the perceived notions of dance music to create an environment that stimulates the listener to release themselves from the trials of everyday life and confront their innermost fears through the trance dance experience.

To show our love and give thanks to one of the greatest genres of EDM Here’s a few gems that will be showing their Love DJ Eco – Progressive Trance – Jersey City, NJ Hailed by Martin Roth several years ago as “New York’s uncut diamond” and a new addition to “the elite league of the upcoming young rebelling producers,” the young 23-year-old producer, Eco, is no stranger to the electronic dance music scene. With his hit tracks “Light At The End”, “Tonight Is Forever”, “Borealis”, “And We Flew Away” and “Lost Angeles” all being named Tunes Of The Week on Armin Van Buuren’s A State Of Trance radio show, his name has slowly but surely been making waves all over the electronic music globe. He receives consistent support from names like Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, and more. His signature sound has spread widely all over the trance scene and he has releases on some of the biggest labels in the business, such as Flashover, Armada, Tone Diary (Spinnin’), and Lunatique, to name a few. Coming off the success of the recent releases “People” and “Love”, Eco has begun work on his debut artist album, which is due on Armada Music in 2011. DJ SSK (Space Smitten Kitten) – Dallas, TX – Psylicious.com SSK real name, Jacquelyn R. Horn was introduced to the US electronica scene during the summer of 1994. She was pulled directly off of the street, and into a warehouse where she was turned onto house music, epic trance, & techno. After a quick taste of the sub-counter-culture, she was hooked! It was during 1996 whilst traveling to the many events and parties across America, that SSK made her discovery of Goa Trance & Psy Trance. She began on turntables, mixing deep-house, epic & hard trance (while collecting psy) and played her first small party 3 weeks after laying her first record down. While building up her ‘no-budget Productions’, SSK evolved to mixing Scando, Psy-Tech, Minimal Psy, and Progressive Psy. With a couple of years on a hermits retreat, she has gone digital, re-emerging as a Full-On Psy & Progressive-psy DJ. The sound of SSK is an audio fusion of full-on killer energy, with an explosion of tough underground beats, enchanting melodies that simply lead you into a musical journey of SSK.

yo, I had an AWEsome time at this party. The DJs were so good, I was satisfied with the music many times but not even sure who of the DJs was my favorite. The sound was good and sometimes needed to be crisper. term – subwoofer? Good job though. Great deco! Plus I smiled full of happiness the whole night. A big shout out to everybody who made the party happen. Peace in Afghanistan. Mc
Monks of Madness were starting when it got shut down, and Christer had played before them. I think either Mayur (sp? sorry!) or Tony played before that. Tron played at the residence where some ppl were staying in the morning, but I doubt that counts an NYC live appearance in anybody’s mind.
