Four Quarters – Central Pennsylvania, USA

Join us for four days and three nights of Transcendental Dance in the open air – truly, a magical event which has quickly become an annual summer tradition for the global Trance Tribes!

Now in its fifth year, the Gaian Mind Summer Festival has hosted world-class international talent from Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom, plus the finest regional talent in the USA, becoming a destination for hundreds of dancers from all over the world. The gathering includes a full weekend of spiritual dancing, tribal drumming, lectures and workshops, yoga, sweat lodge, swimming, relaxation, and much more in a sacred, sylvan sanctuary that only Four Quarters can provide.

Stone Circle Stage (Psy-Trance & Progressive Trance)

BUS / GUS TILL
(Sub Records/Cyan Music – Bali, Indonesia)
Live and DJ Trance set, plus DJ Downtempo set!
A true pioneer and veteran of the psytrance scene, Gus Till has released 60+ tracks over the years, with three new albums last year alone! From his retrospective downtempo album, "Dub Shadows," to the ambient soundscapes of "Electric Oceans," and most significantly, the long-awaited gem by Bus, "morebusinesslinkyouthere," where he showcases a range of styles from gorgeous morning grooves to deep, moody trance - all with a healthy dose of psychedelica!

PHONY ORPHANTS
(Iboga Records – Copenhagen, Denmark)
Live!
Since their first release appeared in 1999, Phony Orphants have crafted a fat, driving sound which rocks every dancefloor! Currently, they've been touring the world in support of their second full-length album, "It'Cetera." With a wide variety of influences and styles, expect a journey from bouncy progressive trance, through groovy electro inspired tunes and funky house beats - psychedelically enhanced! Pumping, grooving electronica at its finest!

SHANE GOBI
(Alchemy Records – London, UK)
First USA appearance!
Over the past several years, Shane Gobi, founder of Alchemy Records, has become one of the leading DJ's in the global psytrance scene. He has earned himself a solid reputation with a loyal following for his unique morning sets and his technical, energetic DJ style. In 2003, Shane was voted DJ of the year by the worldwide trance dancefloors on Isratrance.com. Prepare yourself for a journey that captures those ecstatic and spontaneous moments where the sound, vision, and dancefloor are one!

ELECTRYPNOSE
(Peak Records/Kabrathor Records – Sion, Switzerland)
Live Trance and Downtempo sets! First North American appearance!
With a solid debut on Resonantearth last year, and numerous, outstanding tracks on various compilations, there is a huge buzz surrounding Swiss producer Vince le Barde. In 2006, he released his second album, "Le Tireur de Ficelles," and his upcoming downtempo and experimental album, "Subliminal Atmospheres," is due later this year. Electrypnose delivers a distinctive musical style with clever arrangements, crazy breaks, huge buildups, and demented driving basslines. If you like it hard, dark, and twisted, this is for you!

EMOK
(Iboga Records – Copenhagen, Denmark)
As co-founder of Iboga Records and one half of Phony Orphants, Emok plays a selection of the best, newest, and most well produced tracks from the Scandinavian trance scene, mixed with an intense and powerful progression. His seamless mixing and ability to set the perfect mood on the dancefloor has earned him respect and admiration worldwide. As one of the most significant trance DJ's today, Emok will guide you on a magical voyage through space and sound!

PSYMMETRIX
(PharPsyde Records – London, UK)
Live! First USA appearance!
Psymmetrix have been tearing apart the London squat and party scene for the past two years and after headlining the Liquid stage at the Glade Festival (UK) last year, they have quickly developed quite a following in the underground psytrance scene. Bringing 18 years of love of trance music to their live sets, and getting rave reviews wherever they perform, they will be unleashing dancefloor mayhem with their unique brand of full-power, psytrance stompers!
