Ritual
In the evening and during the night, an audio-visual ceremony will simulate and stimulate the connectivity and synchronicity, and strengthen our desire for peace, love and empathy. The ceremony will try to recapture the acquired knowledge on a more sensual level, along with electronic music tuned to animations of sacred geometry, thought-provoking quotes and carefully selected musical performances, so the participants can adapt similar feelings and sensations of oneness and empathy experienced during a psychedelic session.

PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT | ||
(France) Timecode | ||
First time in Switzerland. Special Psychedelic Experience Mushroom Set. | ||
Principles of Flight was created in 2004 by Remy and Pierre. Their desire was to bring something new to the psychedelic scene. After a few month of collaboration, they rapidly got their first live set ready and played for the first time at Rahkti Dei festival in Belgium. At this point they decided to push their collaboration a little bit further and started producing intensively as well as releasing tracks on various compilations. Their unique combination of dancefloor smashing beats and gloomy melodies was soon recognized to be one of the most original of night fullon psychedelic music. Pierre and Remy quickly established themselves on the french psytrance scene, and activelly collaborated with other well known actors of night music : Phonic Request and Early Reflection. In 2006, they started working on their debut album and after almost a year of intensive creation, "Night Time Lullabies" was released in december 2006 on BooM! Records. With this album, POF brought the vision of trance to another level. "Night time lullabies" is a concept album that merges incredible psytrance music with classical themes. The music follows a story, the story of Gabriel and Gloopy strugling to bring back peace over thir enchanted lands and is amazingly illustrated by artist drawer Nicolas Delort. The goal of the album was to achieve a unique artistic creation involving music, visual universe, and imaginary story, all linked together by a tight script. Since then, POF have been touring all over europe and france and releasing tracks on many compilations. They started diversifying their influences, and their music could now be qualified as psy-techno, a unique blend of night full on and ravaging techno, without doubt more dancefloor-oriented than in the past.

FILTERIA | ||
(Sweden) Suntrip | ||
Having been around music my whole life in all forms it was a natural step for me to start producing my own music. But it wasn’t until 1996 when I heard Distance To Goa 4 when things really started to get serious. I bought my first synthesizer and started experimenting. After some years of buying equipment and playing around, I was all set to start this psychedelic project. In late 2003 I had my first live-act which was a blast. It gave me lots inspiration and strength to continue. I made a deal with Suntrip Records and we released “Sky Input” in November 2004, which was a success and gave me the opportunity to play in many parties. The new album “Heliopolis” is just finished and will be released on Suntrip Records in January 2006. The Filteria project is my attempt to resurrect the vibe and energy that over the years went missing from the psy-trance scene. I choose to go back and see what made this music so special in the mid 1990's, expanding upon those ideas and taking a different path from the one the majority of the scene chose. The sound however is up to date. Hope to see you all on the dancefloor somwhere around the globe… Website: filteria.com |

ORGANIX | ||
(Netherlands) Iono | ||
Early 2006 two friends came with the idea to start a Progressive Trance project inspired by the top-notch tunes that were released during this period of time. Artists like Vibrasphere, Lish, Perfect Stranger and many more were a great inspiration to the two young producers After a quick introduction to production a project came to life: Organix. Shortly after this the duo decided to focus on music fulltime and they started to write their first artist album for a small label. During this time lots of tracks were made and they gained lots of knowledge over the soft and hardware used for production. After some struggles with the label and a period of change in the lives of the duo they decided to go separate ways and focus on their personal solo project. Pim van Horssen created the progressive/tech house and Minimal project SQL. While this project kept growing and growing within the scene and had some releases on major labels like Baroque, Echoplast and Composure Pim felt the urge to continue the project Organix. Now roughly one year later the project is finally making some progress with releases on labels known for their quality releases like Iono, Y.S.E. and Spin Twist. The project will continue in the style that originated in 2006: groovy and intelligent progressive trance. At this moment Organix is signed for Iono records and a second full-length album can be expected somewhere next year. Further more some classics were already released this year like: Prological on Iono records and “The Blade” on Y.S.E. The newest productions will also be out in the next year and Pim will continue the project for the love of the music. |

David whose living in munich/germany at the moment, was born 1988 and got in touch with psychedelic music back in the year 2004.

MILOSZ | ||
(Switzerland) USP | ||
DJ Milosz began his mission to help humanity on its quest for freedom 26 years ago in communist Poland. 10 years later he moved to capitalist Switzerland and quickly realized that freedom does not depend on a certain set of rules but on the functionality of a system. Since then he's been using all available ressources to transform dysfunctional systems into functional ones (with more or less success). In 2006 in Portugal he got a glimpse of the transforming potential of full power trance music and decided to dedicate his energies to this way of living - as DJ, promotor, dancer and hopefully one day as a producer as well. |

NYGMA | ||
(Switzerland) Frakasound | ||
Nygma’s first psy-trance experience, in a small indoor club in 1998, was his life’s turning point – this enlightment turned his passion for psychedelics into obsession. Goa culture is the balance to everyday pressures; release his negative energy and charging the human machine with positive vibrations. To David, the DJ has a definite role as an artist – one who tells his story through musical exploration. The DJ becomes a shaman – one who guides people in cerebral celebration of the senses. More than anything his goal is to satisfy all the craving lunatics. In 2000, he started his apprenticing on a laptop and a mixing software for the beginning a deep relationship. Realizing that computer-mixing is to DJing what dirty magazines are to making love, he invested in some turntables and mixer on his way to discover new meanings of psygasm. His dance floor story is accompanied by groovy tremors; there is that phat bass line alongside these twisted elements. He strives on playing the right track for the right moment and dedicates significant time to research his fairy-tale -it keeps a fresh and gratifying feel. His sets can go from anytime between midnight and noon; roller coasting full on sounds in dark and gorgeous crispy morning tunes in light. Any other time during this 12 hour period, he can be found on the dance floor releasing his beast or taming it on the side. |

SOLARIS | ||
(Switzerland) Fractal | ||
Dj Solaris is Roland Barthe dj & label manager of Fractal Records. he loves electronic music of any kind for over ten years. It was in 1998 that psychedelic waves reached his ears for the first time, thanks to the album “A Taste of Dragon Fly”. More and more seduced by this music and the spirit of its parties, he decided by the year 2003 to leave his vinyls to start mixing psychedelic trance. His first sets were performed during the Eternal Ritual and Jurassic Full Power's parties. Fascinated by travelling, he left his country to explore South America during a year. This wonderful experience also provided him the pleasure of playing occasionaly before a brand new audience. Back in Switzerland he had difficulties to find the music he likes in parties. During a Journey to Spain, he met Dj Anahata who made him want to bring a new music style in Switzerland. At this point he decided to create Fractal Records to promote the music he adores.. Since 2006 he have compiled for his label some great compilations included artists like Painkiller,Sidhartha,Neuromotor,Puzzle,ElectricUniverse,kali,Bliss,Menog,Madnetic, Puzzle,Shagma,...

MEENAKSHI | ||
(Switzerland) Helicon Sound System | ||
DJane Meenakshi was born 1974 in Switzerland. Already as a young girl she used all her pocket money for buying records. Her first creative contact with vinyls was heating them in the oven creating a holder for the hippy records of her dad. During the years of adolescence she was open for different musical styles like heavy metal (Testament, Anthrax, …), punk (Berurier Noir, New Model Army, …), reggae or the good old sounds of the 60’s (Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground…). Music and dance have always been important to her. For 8 years she was doing classical (south) Indian dance, Bharata Natyam. Turning more and more to electronically influenced sounds (Young Gods, Orbital, The Orb, …), she got infected with the psychedelic virus during her first techno/trance party in 1993. After visiting many parties for some years, in 2002 she stepped behind the decks and mixer, bought her first psy and progressive trance vinyls. The mixing became her passion. She used to combine the DJing with organising psychedelic parties (and chaishops) together with the Maya Avatar project (until this group split up) and today with the SomaTribe party label. She dedicates her dj sets to the darker gods of night, playing pushing tunes woven into a mystical atmosphere… Dark, strong, psychedelic, that’s how Meenakshi’s heart beats! She plays the sound that touches and moves her most – taking us on a spherical, fast, hard but sensitive journey into the deepest of our inner self, making us never want to return… ;-) |

(Switzerland) Vibrative Sounds | ||
Pinky and Brain bstehen aus Luca Gut (Pinky) und Daniel Silbermann (Brain). Warum dieser Name? - Dass wird man sehen, wenn man sie Live spielen sieht;). Brain fing schon ca. 1996 an mit "Hip Hop", "Garage" und fetten "Big Beats" zu mischen und holt sich so seine ersten Erfahrungen. Als er 2000 seine Erste `goa party` miterleben durfte, war es klar!! 2002 kaufte er seine ersten Goa Platten und Spielte unter dem Namen Dr. Vodoo. 2004 traf er auf Pinky, der zur dieser Zeit gerade anfing mit (Psy, Progressiv) zu mixen, unter dem Namen Psylofon. Als sich schnell heraus stellte, dass sie denselben Geschmack in der Musiksache, der Mischtechnik und lieber zu zweit rocken, gründeten das Project `Pinky and Brain`. Pinky and Brain spielten an Partys mit: |

PSYCHAROX | ||
(Switzerland) Woodroom | ||
Diese Musik bringt viele Menschen zusammen, über kulturelle und geographische Grenzen hinweg - sie wird intuitiv verstanden und erfordert keiner sprachlichen Regelung oder Normierung. Auf diesem Weg kann sie uns beglücken wie bedrücken, erlösen und zugleich bändigen. Sie spielt mit verschiedenen Elementen und löst Assoziationen aus, kann visionär sein wie auch subversiv. Doch ist sie nichts mehr als Schall und Rauch, ein sich fortpflanzender Dichteunterschied im Medium, eine Welle, welche sich als Superposition (Überlagerung) vieler kleiner Elementarschwingungen selbst erschafft und sich als solche durch den Raum ausbreitet – und doch scheint sie mehr als Luft zu sein, scheint ein Charakter, ja ein Wesen selbst ihr inne zu wohnen. Schon von Kind auf hat mich dieser Umstand fasziniert und in mir die Freude an der Musik entfalten lassen. Alsbald habe ich mich mit grösster Hingebung und Leidenschaft der elektronischen Musik gewidmet und so ab 1994 Entwickelte sich die Faszination und Begeisterung für dieses Genre der Musik zu einem Bedürfnis, selber mit dieser zu Experimentieren und zu Spielen. So war der Schritt zum eigentlichen DJ um 1996 nur eine logische Konsequenz oder eine weiterer Etappe in dieser Entwicklung. Ab 1999 engagierte ich mich bei der Luzerner Organisation Anaxadora und legte daher vor allem an ihren Partys auf. Im Winter 2003 bewarb ich mich dann bei der Zürcher Organisation Astral Media wo ich vorwiegend mit Auflegen aktiv war.Im Juni 2004 fand ich nun den Weg zu dem Music Label Woodroom und freue mich, zusammen mit diesem Label den weiteren Weg zu gehen und gemeinsam die Synenergien zu nutzen. In meinen Sets versuche ich laufend neue Einflüsse und Eindrücke auf zu nehmen und diese musikalisch weiter zu verarbeiten. Diese können dadurch neu Impulse und Ideen anregen bzw. freisetzen und so wiederum auf mein Schaffen zurückwirken. Ich bin auch sehr bemüht, meine Sets dem Ort und lokalen „Settings“ anzupassen und so deren individuellen Stimmung Rechnung zu tragen. Durch diese steten Bemühungen sind meine Sets über die Jahre hinweg sehr vielseitig geworden und reichen von altem Goa-Trance und Goa-Acid über Psytrance bis hin zu Sound aktuellstem Datum. Die Sets selber sind eher von heftigem psychedelisch – virtuosen Charakter mit einer linearer bis exponentieller Steigerung (fachlich: Limes gegen Unendlich *smile*). Von daher ist mein bevorzugtes Wirkungsfeld die Nacht, wo ich gerne fette, treibende Base/Acidlines und schräg-verzehrt-rotzende wie auch verspielt-tragende Sujets über das PA schicke. |

PSYLORG FEAT. JAN | ||
(Switzerland) BMR | ||
Psychedelic-Trance Dj und Mitglied/Gründer der Organisation B.M.R (BLACKLIGHT MUSHROOM RESEARCH), welche die Region Basel seit 2001 mit mittelgrossen, bis hin zu kleinen familiären in-/& outdoor Psytrancepartys versorgt. Er spielt am liebsten düstermelancholisch angehauchte, acidgeladene und spährische Sounds, die immer wieder (wenn auch nur noch im entferntesten), an den guten alten Psychedelic-Trance vor 12-13 Jahren erinnern. Passt sich aber in experimentellen/improvisierten "Pingpongsessions" auch gerne dem Stil anderer an. Neben den Auftritten an eigenen Events, hat er die Ehre bei verschiedensten renomierten Psytrance-Organisationen im In-/& Ausland spielen zu dürfen. Referenzveranstalter: Biolive, Deltaforce, Fractal Records, Dropout Produktions, Hotzenplotz, Dance Music Tribe, Goa Space Group, Continuum, Double-Trouble, Lichtblick, Smileinc, Sternentanz, fORTYiNCHES, Camp Desertview, Naturalline, Hexentanz, Gajas electric Garden, Tribalmoon |

IMOX | ||
(Switzerland) Free Freak | ||
I bought my first decks and a mixer about 10 years ago after getting infected by the psychedelic virus a few years before. Travelling long and a lot, I found more time since a couple of years for the DJ-thing. After leaving the party label Astral Media I got into the evolving Maya Avatar group and formed a series of small parties. But as it is in life, change is omnipresent and the group split up. Finally me, DJane Meenakshi (my big love) and DJHeinz (a good old friend) created the party label SomaTribe and celebrated our first high times called Purpur Magenta. Finally dreams became true in getting a blast together in full harmony and trust! More to come from SomaTribe..... My prefered style of bum bum bum bum, ts ts ts ts changed in the years and my mind opened more and more. I do not like the artifical psytrance anymore. I get exited about ambitous, demanding and in my sense psychedelic music. It can be night psy or minimalistic, darker progressive. By chance I came into chillout music as I was asked to create a mix cd for a pr-event with a lounge. My motivation in that was mixing beat to beat to keep a constant flow. It worked out and a new passion was born. Since then I had quite a lot of chillout bookings including Fullmoon Festival. It is different mixing than on the dancefloor as the spectrum of influences is so big. Forme the biggest challenge as a DJ as it is hard to keep the groove! Then another major event took place on the chillout floor: there was a local chillout live act playing, but their brand new sound was minimal techno orientated and the floor war burning like fire - and I could not give the crowd what they needed..... So I opened my ears and mind and explored what was to explore. Before getting psychedelic, I was into techno/trance an I re-found an old love - techno. The first very very successful minimal sets followed. It is hard finding exigent minimalistic music, but there is ...... Since March 2008 I play for the local Free Free Music label, which is more on the progressive side of trance music. I feel the future to be more on the progressive, minimalistic and downbeat side of life, but my synapses are still open enough for all kind uf rocking frequencies! |

TEKNEE | ||
(Switzerland) Transmission | ||
DJ Teknee ist schon seit Beginn der Technobewegung in der Schweiz mit dabei und kann heute auf erfahrungsreiche Jahre zurückblicken. So verfügt er über ein entsprechend grosses Repertoire und versteht es gekonnt mit knackigen Mixes und seinem unverwechselbarem groovigem Stil die Atmosphäre zum Kochen zu bringen. Am 4. Juli 1969 erblickte Reto Landolt das Licht der Welt. Musik, Platten kaufen und vorzutragen war immer schon sein Hobby. So faszinierte ihn auch bald einmal die elektronische Musik...Angefangen hat alles [ 1988 ] im berüchtigten Zürcher House-Club [ Flamingo ], wohin er gerne zusammen mit seinen Freunden ausging. War dies doch die einzige Möglichkeit [Acid-House ] zu hören und zu diesen neuartigen Sounds abzutanzen. Dann entdeckte er den Trance im legendären [ Oxa ]. Hier hat auch sein DJ-Name seinen Ursprung gefunden: Denn auch eine Knieverletzung konnte ihn nicht davon abhalten zu den Sounds sein Tanzbein, oder eben, sein so genanntes Techno-Knie, zu schwingen... ;-) Seinen ersten grossen Auftitt bestritt er zusammen mit seinem Idol [ Mas Ricardo ] im Jahr [ 1993 ] an der Atomic Dust' in Baden. 1994 wurde er Resident DJ im Zürcher Club [ Upspace ]. Im selben Jahr wurde er erstmals von [ Happy People ] gebucht, wo er sich erfolgreich etablieren konnte. Er wurde zu einem festen Bestandteil und Begriff der [ Goa-Szene ] und spielte seinen unverwechselbaren Stil in der ganzen Schweiz. In dieser Szene lernte er den Luzerner DJ mitura kennen mit welchem er das DJ-Team [ Transmission ] gründete. Auch bei Teknee blieb die Zeit nicht stehen und er setzte sich mit weiteren Sounds wie [ Progressive, TekHouse, Elektro ] auseinander, die er in seine abwechslungsreiche Sets miteinbringt. Save the Vinyl! |

DOMINIK AUDERSET | ||
(Switzerland) Knopfloch | ||
Im Winter 2005 startete ich meine ersten Versuche als DJ, und wurde nur nach wenigen Wochen voll und ganz von der Sucht und dem Ergeiz gepackt, einmal erfolgreich herausszukommen. Zuerst übte ich intensiv mit dem Virtual DJ am Computer, der mir von Anfang an ein grosses Verständnis über die Hintergründe des DJ-ing vermittelte. Nach einiger Zeit langweilte es mich langsam immer mehr, nur wie ein Amateur am PC erfolgreiche Mixes zu machen, und wollte es jetzt ganz wissen, und legte mir dank Mithilfe meiner Familie eine solide Anlage für Zuhause zu. Seither feile ich noch intensiver und noch motivierter an meiner Technik, und an meinem eigenen Style. Denn ich will keiner nachmachen! Ich will mein eigener Style, mein eigener Weg einschlagen, und so zum Erfolg gelangen, sodass ich irgendwann mal, zu frieden sein kann und auch sagen kann, ich habe mein Ziel erreicht! Mein Style ist Elektronisch aber mehr dunkler Sound. In der Fachsprache lege ich Minimal, Tech-House und Electro auf. | ||
