Melbourne born and bred, Raja Ram left Australia in the 50s to begin the hippie trail. He returned to study flute at the Melbourne conservatory, and then went to New York in 1965 to study jazz and improvisation. In the late 60s in London's Notting Hill Gate he formed Quintessence, a jazz-fusion Indian rock band that went on great success with 5 albums and over 400
live performances.
However in the early 70s due to personal reasons, retired to become an envelope salesman. In the early 80s with the advent of synthesizers Raja Ram was inspired to return to performing. A trip to Goa in 88 coupled with the acid house summer of love in England revealed to him a new genre; the electronic world of psychedelic music. He worked for many years with Graham wood under the name The Infinity Project, producing seminal tracks such as "Stimuli". In 1994 Raja Ram had the brainwave to create TIP records, now known as TIP world.
He began DJ 'ing in '98 as this seemed a natural addition and progression to performing live. He is known for his groundbreaking work as "Shpongle" with Simon Posford, as the creator of 1200 micrograms with Ricktam and Banzi of GMS, and Chicago, and has had many collaborations with psy-trance artists globally. Constantly touring, DJ 'ing, performing live and recording in the studio, he is one of the most in demand artists on the scene. Now entering his 64th year he feels like he's just getting started.
It all began in the mid eighties as a hip-hop, electro and funk DJ with a fascination for psychedelic and electronic music (and dancing in warehouses all night)!
In the early nineties, I moved on to the techno scene playing at clubs and events including Club UK, The End, Heaven, Fabric and Tribal Gathering. Since then I've been lucky enough to travel across the globe playing many styles of dance music, most commonly psytrance and techno/electro sets (In 2007 I have toured in Japan, Russia, Brazil, Australia, Isreal, Serbia,
Portugal and Greece).
After guesting at a TIP party in 1998, the TIP crew asked me to represent their label and in early 2001 I became label manager of Flying Rhino Records.
I have worked with friends and artists such as Aphid Moon, Laughing Buddha, Raja Ram, Hallucinogen, Prometheus, Eat Static, Tristan and Dickster. My most recent projects have involved working with Raja Ram, Aphid Moon, Prometheus, Laughing Buddha, Pogo and Sybarite. I also have a solo project in the pipeline (watch this space!).
