Nobody cares about terribly long bios, right? Therefore only so much here: my very first musical attempts were taken around the turn of the millennium, and from then on it took me ages, required lots of nerves, lots of passion and modesty to get to the level of musical quality and production that I think I have today.

Antagon is a modern Psychedelic Trance (darkish) live act from Hamburg, Germany. His musical roots were laid in the death-metal scene of the early nineties. In 1996 he became interested in the psychedelic trance scene, and several years later he started spinning CDs and vinyl. In 2007 he met Alpha from Hamburg. After several studio sessions, both artists decided to establish another live project. -Z- (Alpha and Antagon) was born and developed quickly.

Dr. Strangefunk has a pharmacy filled with funk, jazz and interstellar sounds to heal the mind and soul of those who consume his medicines.

KiloWatts music is always melodic, inventive, powerful and persistent. He is always looking for a new way to craft peaks and troughs, new ways to ebb and flow, tugging and pulling at heartstrings, building tension and finding that sweet release. There is always a wry glimmer in his eye and a deeply smiling knowingness expressed in his music. He is intent on communicating directly with his listeners through sound, eye to eye and heart to heart. Living in Philadelphia, he finds inspiration every morning at 9:00 AM sharp. He loves a wide-open empty canvas, with the excitement of uncertainty propelling him to create. He enjoys gardening and tending plants in his indoor “Grow Cove,” an LED-powered warm place for an expanding collection of succulents. When not making music or gardening, he can be found backpacking in remote wildernesses such as the Canyonlands, Loyalsock and Monongahela.

Kabayun is the project of David Mostoller. Kabayun's music intends to create an environment that stimulates the listener to release themselves from the trials of everyday life and confront their challenges through the trance-dance experience. Channeling the spirit of the west, Kabayun pulls together many elements to create an intensely psychedelic experience that lifts the body and mind to undiscovered plateaus.

In 1996 I heard Psychedelic Trance and chose the path of being a psy-trance musician and DJ. I make and play music inspired by the environments where I have lived and crafted for the parties I have played around the world. Growing up in Northern California placed me among incredibly diverse music scenes. My music is formed from all of my musical tastes and is created for fun dance-floor moments. I have played at events big and small throughout North America, Mexico, Japan and Europe with many psy artists from around the world, performing live and DJ sets at events such as Boom Festival 2008, Burning Man, the Ultra Music Festival, SF Love Fest and countless other indoor and outdoor parties and festivals.

I believe the energy that makes all of us is a combination of the influences we have from what we listen to, the images we see, the things we eat and what we let ourselves believe. My music trip started before I can remember my own thoughts, and now most of my day is filled with understanding sound. Music has been my main focus and dedication for the past 14 years, yet I find I am growing to love it more every day I listen to, mix or produce a new track. My goal today is to provide as much good music as possible, invite our world to travel through unforgettable places and expose new sound waves to everyone willing to let go, enjoy and be the unimaginable. This musical journey started in the Azores Islands, where I got many ideas for what I do now, but moving around and learning about our globe has been my fuel and inspiration for taking it one step further.

The Wichdokta formed the Full Circle Collective in Mendocino County, California. In 1997 he began throwing the gathering called “Gemini” on the Eel River. In 2000 he met Dr. Spook and Random to create the Phoenix Family Collective. He also runs the sound company Full Circle Productions. As a promoter and gathering thrower, he knows what gets people going. The Wichdokta's sets were described as a spectacle, with his energy and psychedelic music working together to give dancers the ride of their lives.

I'm a mid-20s guy who has been producing electronic music for just over a decade. I used to be into extreme styles such as hardcore, gabber and breakcore, but more recently I have been into bass music. Distorted, detuned and twisty is how I get down. There are many styles out there, and limiting myself has never been appealing.
