~ Stone Circle Stage: Psytrance & Progressive Trance ~
AMD
(Nano Records – UK)
Live! First North American appearance!
Presenting AMD, the Psytrance super-group consisting of the two solo artists APHID MOON and DICKSTER. With their complementary production skills and a shared love of full-on music, they make a formidable force, taking Psytrance to a new and exciting place, delivering nothing but floor-fillers with huge, multi-layered tracks that keeping building and peaking! Having already rocked dancefloors in Brazil, Japan, Europe, and the UK, in support of their debut album, “Big Fish,” we are fortunate to have them for their first USA appearance! Get ready all you lovers of dance!
DICKSTER / DICK TREVOR
(Nano Records – UK)
Live & DJ sets!
We are truly honored to host a Psytrance legend! DICK TREVOR has been at the forefront of the Psytrance scene since its conception -- responsible for seminal acts such as GREEN NUNS OF THE REVOLUTION, BUMBLING LOONS, SLINKY NUNS, INFERNAL MACHINE, TRICKSTER, BISTO BOYS, GREEN OMS, JUMANJI, and currently with DICKSTER and AMD. With unrivaled production talent, and countless releases to his name, experience what an undeniably experienced artist can do to a dancefloor!
APHID MOON
(Nano Records – UK)
Live! First North American appearance!
Over the last decade, APHID MOON has released on countless Psytrance labels and played numerous parties and festivals in Japan, Israel, South Africa, Brazil, Europe, and the UK. His hard-driving and infectious dance sound made of clear grooves and intense psychedelics stands out of the league of full-on you know already. His music is sharp and toxic enough to expand your boarders of dance experience - demanding your energy to create the dancefloor’s collective. This is Psychedelic Trance!
HUMAN BLUE
(Transient Records – Sweden)
Live!
It’s been eight, long years since HUMAN BLUE first played in Philadelphia for GAIAN MIND, and in that time, he’s been busy both touring around the globe and producing lots of tracks – testing and perfecting his signature sound consisting of delicately structured soundscapes, and harmonies backed up with a chunky groove. HUMAN BLUE has released five albums in his career so far, with a sixth album slated for this summer, and he’s been licensed to no less then 80 (!) compilations, as well as releasing a number of 12” vinyl releases. Prepare yourself for what is sure to be a most memorable morning session!
LOOPUS IN FABULA
(Fabula Records – Italy)
Live!
We are happy to welcome back LOOPUS IN FABULA, who made a remarkable surprise appearance at GMSF2004. With three albums to his name, he has established a reputation for the “funkadelic” sound; a mixture of mind-twisting Psytrance and funky Disco sounds. Having played almost every corner of the world, LOOPUS has developed and perfected a blended, live + DJ set with a special task: slowly bringing the dancefloor into a relaxed, happy, funky atmosphere full of laughs and funny smiles!
YAB-YUM / GASPARD / AJJA
(Peak Records – Switzerland)
Live & DJ sets! Trance & Downtempo sets! First North American appearance!
AJJA and GASPARD, two musicians, two sets of creative energy, influenced by each other and fusing into a whole that is greater then the sum of its parts. As co-founders of Switzerland’s Peak Records, they have their fingers on the pulse of the full-power, nighttime sounds. Get ready for a colorful nighttime journey filled with futuristic freakiness -- a swirling carousel of loops and rhythms, spastic elastic sounds and funky leads, balanced by rolling bass-lines and powerful kicks! We proudly present the North American debut of YAB-YUM!
PHUTUREPRIMITIVE / TELEPATHIK
(Liquid Records – Portland, OR)
Live & DJ! Downtempo & Trance sets!
PHUTUREPRIMITIVE has become a top artist in the Downtempo/Psy-Chill music scene, performing throughout the United States and Europe with his fusion of organic and synthetic elements. Musically ranging from atmospheric downbeat and Drum ‘n’ Bass patterns, to ethnic breaks, vocals and percussions, to dub and beyond -- creating a landscape of aural texture. For a Psytrance project, TELEPATHIK is diverse in its sound, sometimes leaning towards a more progressive groove, sometimes melodic, while other times diving straight into a full-on driving frenzy -- always shifting and changing into new sounds and themes. This is dance music that takes both your mind and body on a journey!
LEILA DJ
(Dragonfly Records – UK)
As a veteran of the early Goa scene and the UK’s free party culture, Leila has played at festivals across Europe, Mexico, Brazil, and Zambia, including twice at Samothraki. Her tunes are plucked from a spectrum of psychedelia, never too progressive or minimalist. Leila seduces with her insistent grooves, funky basslines, and multi-layered melodies, often harboring a hard-edged, spring-loaded bite! She may be a waif, but this little lady sure packs a punch!
