Leon 'Avalon' (Uk, Nano records) is currently one of the biggest up and coming names on the international psytrance circuit. Avalon's rip-roaring full-on, melodic, driving, yet surprisingly hard-hitting and evocative sound, is totally unique and has been tried and tested with huge success on dancefloors worldwide.
Avalon has been tearing it up at parties in over 20 countries over the past year, at events including Glade 2009 (UK), Tribe 8 Anos, Universo Paralello 10, (Brazil) Burning man 09 (US), Origin 2010 (South Africa) as well as at some of the largest festivals and club nights across Europe, Japan and Australia. Whilst making incredible leaps and bounds with his solo production and DJing, he has also been remixed by and invited to work with some of the biggest names in the scene, forming recent collaborations with Zen mechanics, Cosmosis, Burn In noise, Lucas, Waio, Logica, Dickster. Avalon has also just teamed up with Tristan to form a new power house liveact called Killawatts. They are currently taking bookings all over the globe, so look out!
Recent releases Include his debut album on Nano records, ‘Distant Futures,’ and latest ep 'Session one' all Gaining top 10 and number 1 slots on beatport . Stay tuned for future Ep and compilation releases on top labels such as Nano, Neurobiotic, Iboga, Alchemy and Tipworld.
Ctrl+Alt+Del is the psytrance project of Vishaal Turakhia. Originally from Bombay (India), he was first exposed to electronic music when he discovered Prodigy’s - Fat of The Land 12”. From that moment, all other genres of music were put on the back burner. He set out to explore other forms of “intelligent” electronic music and was addicted to high-tech and cutting-edge electronic sounds from the likes of – Prodigy, State of Bengal, Talvin Singh, Massive Attack, Leftfield, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada and many others…
The period of true enlightenment was when he immersed himself into the burgeoning Psy-Trance culture in Bombay in 1999. After frequenting several underground psy-parties, he realized the potential of this form of music. He most identified with the Swedish sound (ie - Logic Bomb, Hux-Flux, Chromosome etc.), which was intensely psychedelic with twisted sounds and an edgy twilight/morning flavour. He began collecting psychedelic tunes and started dj-ing at parties in Bombay.
The desire to channel the passion for psy into a creative force led to the development of “Ctrl+Alt+Del.” After years of spinning psy, he began tinkering away at the computer, spending endless hours experimenting with DAWs + VSTs. While in college in New York, Vishaal often collaborated with his friend Peter Terlaak-Poot (a Violin prodigy) to add a “Classical-Goa” sound to his projects. Eventually a unique sound was developed.
The project aims at producing top-notch intelligent twilight blasters that will surely tweak the brain! The project’s 1st track was signed by Shift for Nexus-Media’s compilation – Midnight Storm III. Ctrl+Alt+Del is finally ready to explode onto the global psy-trance scene!

Matt (Darkrad) and Jeremy have been mixing music and attending events since 2000. They spent a few years learning and being students of music until 2003 when they made their NYC debut at Club Vinyl for Tsunami. There they had a huge taste of a large live NYC crowd.
After that show they played several Tsunami shows, outdoor gatherings and private parties, sharing the stages with the likes of Alien Project, Orion, Astral Projection, Hallucinogen, Hujaboy, Midi Miliz and others.
In 2007, they decided to take a break from the scene to raise their families. Now after a 4 year layoff, they are back and ready to bring their pulse pounding full on madness back to the main stage and promise to be crazier than ever.
