APHID MOON (Nano Records - UK)
Aphid Moon is the solo act of producer and DJ Jules Hamer. He has released two albums so far. The first called “High Diver” on Dragonfly Records in 2003; a deep night time sound with a distinctly British psy-trance flavor. His second album, “Global Culture,” was released May 2005 on Nano Records has really moved with the times and technology with fatter more full-on production and an infectious dance sound. With the help of the insane software revolution, he has steadily been developing his own unique style. Over the last decade Aphid Moon has released on countless psy-trance labels and played DJ and live sets in Japan, Israel, South Africa, Brazil, Europe, and the U.K parties and festivals. In the past two years he has teamed up with trance legend Dick Trevor (Green Nuns, Dickster, and Jumanji); together they have formed Aphid Moon & Dickster (aka AMD) a formidable trance duo. With a number of killer releases so far, they've recently completeded their first album, “Big Fish,” out now on Nano Records.
Review of “Global Culture” in Mushroom Magazine September 8th, 2005: “ Mr. Jules Hamer presents his second throw of psychedelic glam. His hard driving acid theatre made of clear grooves and intense psychedelics stands out of the league of full on you know already. Within a fist full of great tools for global main floor stimulation his music is real progressive, and it’s sharp and toxic enough to expand your boarders of dance experience. This album demands your energy to create the floors collective. It will make you dance this summer if you want or not - be sure. This is psychedelic trance.” www.aphidmoon.com

DERANGO (Inpsyde Media - Sweden)
“A spiraling dance into the secret surroundings that surround us. A flux where change is the only constant! A full on of blissful noise, seeping in and out of the mystery-web of creation. Instilled by the pounding bass and beats, accompanied by a phantasmagory of psychodelicious sound, we bring movement to the forest.”
Derango is the imaginative outcome from the two of us, Jens Eriksson and Ola Eriksson. (Although the surname suggests it, we are not family.) Originally from Örebro, Sweden, we now live in Malmö after deciding to move in early 2000. Having had several electronically-oriented projects in the past, it was during this year we started making psychedelic music together.
Both of us had been playing in various alternative rock bands in between 1995 and 1999. At this latter point our interest in electronic music had grown so strong it could no longer be held back. So by unleashing, and ultimately harnessing the seemingly stubborn forces synthesizers and samplers possess, we discovered new ways of expressing creativity and teamed up to piece together for you, as well as to our own bemusement, some weird psycho-acoustic audio-visualizations. www.derango.tk

LOOPUS IN FABULA (Fabula Records - Italy)
Matteo has been making music for more then 10 years now, starting with an electrojazz background (Matteo played sax, Jacopo keyboard) and then moving towards trance around 1998. As Loopus In Fabula, he released tracks on various labels from all over the world: Digital Psionics (AUS), Surreal Audio (FIN), ZMA (GRE), Flow (POR), Exogenic (FIN), Resonoise (UK), Devic Craft (GRE), Candyflip (GRE) and the first album "LOOPUS IN FABULA" was released by the Australian label, Demon Tea Records (2002). The second album (2003) “ASTROFUNK” is released on Loopus’ own label "FABULA RECORDS".
In 2004 DJ Loopus has selected for Fabula Records, together with DJ Styx, the compilation "ULTRAPOP" where he exposed his music and DJing philosophy putting together a collection of works from artists all around the globe who are looking for something "different" in the broad psytrance genre... The compilation includes works from Antiscarp Warriors, Kiwa, the Polish crew of Bigwigs, Eatstatic, Sienis as well as new Loopus In Fabula.
The third album "FAT LADIES BINGO" (2006) is the result of the work of Matteo together with his previous partner Jacopo as well as in solo version or in collaboration with artists from Australia and Finland.
A new compilation is ready it will be called probably "ULTRAPOP 2" and as the name suggests it will continue the funky philosophy established with the first one... It will include works of Kiwa, LPC (Salakavala + Squaremeat), Talpa, Atma, Itayko (Itay from Kukan Dub Lugan) as well as Loopus...
Loopus has established himself a reputation for the so called "funkedelic" sound: a mixture of psytrance and funky disco sounds... There's actually more (or less), a total free crossover of influences with an electro, progressive, jazzy, circus feeling blended with the severe discipline of psytrance: a mind twisting psychedelia with a running full bassline...
Loopus has played almost until now in almost every corner of the psytrance world (included Italy, Switzerland, UK, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Israel, Russia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Ukraine, Tatarstan(!!), China, Mexico, Japan, Turkey, Australia, USA, Canada) and has developed a blended live + DJ set featuring a special task: slowly bringing the dancefloor into a relaxed, happy, funky atmosphere full of laughs and funny smiles... for this reason his set works best in early nights or sunny morning at outdoors or anytime in the kinky clubs.... www.loopusinfabula.com

Derango! Sweet, everyone who plans on going buy presale tickets before the 15th and you save 40-50 bucks. I'm tired of hearing trancers moaning and bitching that tickets at the gate are too expensive when many of them had plans to attend the festival this year since the minute they left four quarters last year.
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home. |

Good news:
We are happy to announce that YAB-YUM (Peak Records – Switzerland) has been added to the line-up, plus DJ sets by GASPARD and AJJA. Enjoy!

YAB-YUM (Peak Records – Switzerland)
Ajja & Gaspard, two musicians, two sets of creative energy, influenced by each other & fusing in a whole that is greater then the sum of its parts.
Gaspard has been DJing and organizing parties for 9 years. He started as DJ Throbbe and played with Psyberpunk Corp. Today, he is DJ Gaspard for his night-time psychedelic trance sets and DJ Equilibrium for his floating ambient mixes.
Ajja has been a musician all his life. Growing up in the world-famous tattooing Leu family and travelling across the world has given him a strong creative drive. Although he lived in Goa when trance was coalescing, the jadedness of the scene turned him away from electronic music for many years. He accumulating a major body of original non-trance material as a by-product.
In 1998 Gaspard came in for a tattoo in Ajjas shop and they became fast friends. During the next few years Gaspard helped refuel Ajjas love of trance by dragging him out to psychedelic parties across Switzerland. Their first performance together, at the Psyberpunk Naturalp Festival in November 2002, consisted of Gaspards DJ set, live percussion & live fx by Ajja. Later that year, they toured Australian festivals - Outback Eclipse, Rainbow Serpent & Exodus.
In the summer of 2003, Gaspard and Ajja in collaboration with visual artist Tanina Munchkina & musician Master Margherita created Peak Records - Switzerlands first psy-trance label! Performing together with the P.G.C (an organic-trance live-act of which Ajja is a founding member) through the summer of 2004, revealed high compatibility between Gaspard & Ajja ranging from very similar tastes in music to humour, partying & psychedelic philosophy.
The next logical step was the formation of their own live act: Yab Yum. So Logic was bought, laptops were tuned up & they got down to business: Ajja bringing his knowledge of instruments and frequencies and Gaspard, a strong sense of dance-floor dynamics from his experience as a DJ & sound engineer.
This combination has produced many strong, psychedelic, dance oriented tracks, that have been greatly appreciated by trancers everywhere. Yab Yum have been released on respected labels worldwide & have released their debut album "Nocturnal Emissions" on Peak Records in December 2006.

Yab Yum! Whoa That changes everyyything!
Can't get over how amazing their album is. The essence of psychedelic music with the warmest basslines. So wonderfully grounded!
Have to make it out to this one now!
