RASTALIENS (Phar Psyde Records - Switzerland)
www.rastaliens.com / www.myspace.com/rastaliens
Since about 13 years we are DJ’s. After 3 years with DJ-ing, we realized that the records from other people were not enough for us. And look at this, since about 9 years we are producing our own psychedelic trance. We started in a small cellar with a little sound system. At the beginning we just used simple software-synths and a small sequencer-program. Because of our limited possibilities, it was not easy for us to produce a good quality of sound... Hard work and a lot of enthusiasm caused a booking from some friends in Switzerland. They wanted us for a live-act. Jehaa, our first set, which we played with some quite old synths, as like Roland 101 and Korg Trident. As you can understand, we were more than nervous. But we were more than happy, that the feedback of our first act was really great and amazing. So, we decided to go ahead with our crazy music. The time and the more bookings opened us the chance to buy some new sound-machines.
On a special day, we decided to send our first songs to some different labels around the world. We packed this CD´s together with all our positive vibrations and what happened: Yaniv, from Hadshot Haheizar released our first two songs. "FREAK BOOSTER" and "UNIDENTIFIED SPECIES.” A big thank you to you, Yaniv! We guess, we do not have to explain you our feeling, as we held our first vinyl in our hands. Unbelievable…
After playing at many parties around the globe, like Portugal, Netherlands, Mexico, Greece, USA, UK, etc., there was time for an album which was released also on Hadshot and more should follow on Boom! Records (which released also the 2nd album), Digital Psionics, Ketuh, Glowing Flame, and so on…
Now, after 10 years of producing some of the most groove enticing psy-trance in the world, and a jaunt across the cosmos and returning with new alien technologies, the Rasta's are back! With over 26 single releases on the world’s most respected labels and a full 2 artists albums under their belt; get ready for a better than return of the Jedi's third installment as the Rastaliens return “Back On Earth.”
It has been 3 long years that the world has waited for these highly anticipated corkers to be unleashed. After a long break and transmitting various tracks from the outer universe before re-landing with these 10 bum-spanking belters of intergalactic grooves that the world has been waiting for.
Phar Psyde Records are proud to present our third album, first full artists album and Rastaliens third full album to date. The interstellar voyage returns to the good ol' milky-way with the alien sounds re-engineered, remastered and re tweaked to give a full-punching grittier style to previous releases. All in all this is one phat album that we are proud to release and know will stir the sensations of the soul from the deepest emotions buried within. So tune in to the alien FM and let the Rastaliens guide you through from the upfront to the Phar Psyde of sound, possibility and imagination.

BRAINCELL (Glowing Flame Records - Switzerland)
www.braincell-studios.net / www.myspace.com/braincellstudio
I grow up in a small city in south Germany. After learning several instruments like guitar, trumpet and percussion etc., I started playing in a rock band. In 1994 I had my first experience with trance music on little party in Switzerland. After that I decided to start DJing. Since the trance scene in south Germany was very little, I begun to organize parties in the Black Forest. After a while the project RASTALIENS came up with my friend Jürgen. Check it out at www.rastaliens.com. After moving to Switzerland in autumn 2003 I decided to start my own side project BRAINCELL, in which I want to produce some different tunes to our RASTALIENS-stuff.
Do you think this is air you're breathing? Do you experience the world of your fellow-creatures exactly as they do or you just think you do? Do you maybe think that the way you experience the world around and inside you is the only possible experience? And does all this awaken a desire for a quest through this unknown dimension of seeing, feeling and experiencing things the way you never did before? ‘Cos it does...
...Ralph K. (aka Braincell / Rastaliens) is back again to shaken up the very foundations of our world. “Transformation of Reality” is the next level of evolution of this brilliant musician and it is a highly electrifying, mind-bending array of carefully blended frequencies that completely work for both the dance-floor freak and the attentive listener.
This eleven-track timeline of mystical and atmospheric sounds, groovy bass lines, creepy noises and freaky melodies is an amazing diversity yet a perfect continuity of moods that gives it a sense of a story-like flow and a place in every collection of contemporary psychedelia.

E.V.P (Wildthings Records – UK)
www.myspace.com/evpuk / www.wildthingsrecords.co.uk
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 November 2005, and his side project RealityGrid first album in 2007, he has had a large number of major international outdoor festival bookings. He has played in around 24 countries worldwide and already has a number of bookings into the middle of 2008.
E.V.P has also been collaborating with Avalon from Wildthings Records to produce an album project named RealityGrid, the album is called 'Reality Check'. It was released on Wildthings Records in May 2007. After producing 3D animations for broadcast, and involvement with 3D software development for real-time use at live events, he is also working professionally specializing in the field of inertial motion capture, working closely for the last year with Animazoo LTD, a UK based company who manufacture real-time inertial motion capture systems. Their systems allow the user to puppeteer live 3D characters with the movement of a dancers body. At the Wildthings party in London on November 24th, 2006, we showcased this technology with a very interesting fusion of these high-end technologies into a live A/V motion capture performance.
Expect a very interesting new real-time 3D A/V show for next year, the next album is due for release in the first quarter of 2008.

REALITYGRID (Wildthings – UK)
www.myspace.com/realitygrid / www.wildthingsrecords.co.uk
RealityGrid is the unique collaboration of two of the U.Ks' finest underground psychedelic artists - E.V.P and Avalon (Alex Diplock and Leon Kane), which can be played anytime during the party spectrum combing the funky basslines and crunch of the night time sound with the space and ease of groove of music often listened to during the daytime hours at party's worldwide.
This combination will mean it will have great popularity for many DJ’s worldwide. The big fat beats and grooving rhythms will push the crowds forward onto dance floors and the synthetic, filtered lead sounds will make them dance like there's no tomorrow. Great party music!
They are performing at the Glade electronic music and dance festival in the U.K this year alongside many well respected artists, and are starting to receive plenty of opportunity to play their music at events globally.

AES DANA (Ultimae – France)
www.myspace.com/aesdana / www.ultimae.com
AES DANA (aka Vincent Villuis), composer and sound designer, DJ and co-owner of Ultimae Records. Electronic activist since teenage-hood, he was also one of the founding members of ASURA. Bass player and singer in several coldwave and industrial bands, he then moved on to composing with machines.
Specialized in sampling and layering of acoustic sounds digitally transmuted, Vincent Villuis creates a music which offers multiple listening possibilities.
AES DANA brings a fusion between the British Progressive feel and the traditional American Space Music; with sounds anchored in the psychedelic realm freely flowing into a morning downtempo trance, tribal or smashed rhythms.
So far he has produced three solo albums, participated in about three dozen compilations and collaborated on an album with Swedish artist Magnus Birgersson under the name H.UV.A.NETWORK (a second one is in the works).
Vincent Villuis currently works the soundtrack of Science Fiction movie "The Passport" (Amund Lie), which should come out late 2007 and the composition of his album “Leylines.”
As the conceptor of the Fahrenheit Project compilation, he is working on the last chapter of the series prior to re-releasing the whole collection as a deluxe edition.

SOLAR FIELDS (Ultimae – Sweden)
www.solarfields.com / www.myspace.com/solarfields / www.ultimae.com
Swedish based electronic music composer and graphic designer who has been involved in many projects since a teenager, playing drums, percussions, piano, keyboards, for various bands before launching his own project Solar Fields in 2001 with the album "Reflective Frequencies.” Magnus always built a unique sound universe, poles apart from current trends in the genre, he explores the wide possibilities of ambient, atmospheric, deep, extatic, industrial yet organic, cultivating contrasts and subtlety with brio.
As a "high tech" sound designer (sampling, sequencing, morphing, programming…) and multi-instrumentalist (sitar, veena, guitars…) Magnus collaborated with several art galleries and museum, his latest sound installation at Trabekel (Sandviken, Spring 2004) met a great success. In synchronization to the work of pictorial artist Antonio Sognasoldi, he presented four pieces which could be played simultaneously and evolve depending on the position of the visitor in the gallery.
In November 2005 were released “Leaving Home” and “Extended,” the later being a limited edition. These two albums are receiving excellent comments from the media, opening new horizons for Magnus Birgersson and his true visionary work.

H.U.V.A. NETWORK (Ultimae – France / Sweden)
www.ultimae.com
When Swedish artist Solar Fields (Magnus Birgersson) meets French artist Aes Dana (Vincent Villuis), the outcome is H.U.V.A. Network, a downtempo project where North and South regions mix and jumble together in a fluid manner.
The pair of sound architects explore ambient-electronica landscapes and their multiple layouts. Their works are thought out and composed in two studios: Jupiter Studio (Göteborg - Sweden) and Ultimae Studio (Lyon - France).
Musical works and ideas are conceived in this two creation poles via a few travels and a high speed internet network connection, thus breaking “Distances,” which separate the two composers.
