Raubenheimer started out his music career at the tender age of seven when he received his first electronic keyboard. He went on to discover jazz and classical music before becoming obsessed with synthesizers, computers and electronic music. His musical explorations have taken him through many different styles of music including breaks, house and electro. After finishing school, he went on to study sound engineering before finding his niche in the psytrance scene.
He was first introduced to the music by Regan and Gareth Tacon, currently co-owners of Nano Records. Before ever attending a party he wrote his first single, "superhighway samurai" which was released on Mechanism, a compilation by Sweden's Spiral Trax Label Group. His sound was instantly recognizable as his signature style, a blend of full on grooves, progressive structures, and epic "morning" melodies. This sound was refined over the next year, with his signing to Nano Records and the subsequent release of numerous tracks such as "Synergism" and "Ultraphunktional". The release of "New Directions" on Nano Record's Dilations compilation was a turning point for Nate. This can still be regarded as his most celebrated track to date, and received much acclaim worldwide. The debut album, Refractions, followed closely afterwards, featuring dance floor success's such as "Melody Machine", ":Avalon", and a remix of the afore mentioned "New Directions". With the success of the album, Nate's career as a live performer and dj, took off at great speed.
After numerous parties in South Africa, he first headed off to England for the acclaimed Glastonbury Music Festival. This festival plays host to hundreds of acts and draws crowds in excess of 150 000 people every year. Gigs in Japan followed, as well as extensive tours in Europe, including France, Spain, Holland, Germany, Portugal, Denmark and others. To date he has played on every major continent, and received much praise for his energetic and emotional live shows. Nate has also worked on other projects including his dj compilation, "Natural Selection" on Nano Records, as well as Ghost, a side project focusing on breaks and ambient, as well as forming half of the now defunct Silver Surfers.

Atomic Culture The name says it all, the "Atomic" is no other than Tamir Ozana (a.k.a Atomic Pulse), the "Culture" stands for Nate Rubenheimer (a.k.a Protoculture).
Two fine producers that are also close friends, one from Israel and the other from South-Africa who meet around the globe for shows, drinks and inbetween that came up one day with the idea to do a complete 180 degrees u-turn and form a brand new side-project that will reflect other musical sides that yearn to burst from each other. T
he result was a deep dive into the studio for few weeks when their hectic time table allows it, trying to create something new, fresh, different than their main-line production style, the result and feedbacks were fast and leathal, from Brazil's very own DJ Feio(Trade Sounds) and onto Israel's respected A&R Manager Avi Yossef (YoYo/BNE Ltd.), everyone who's close to these two taleneted musician said the same - We were waiting too long for such a project !
Already heating up in the studio when their schedules cross around the world, and few tracks are already licensed to Trade Sounds latest double compilation mixed by DJ Feio, LightMusic compilation "On&Off" mixed by D.j Ta-Ka, Release N Attack compilation mixed by DJ Zion, and on their mother label BNE's newest compilation "Advanced Options vol.2&3", the winter time will join Nate & Tamir in the studio for the next couple of months where they will have to sweat their hardware and talents into an album. "Atomic Culture" musical direction is NOT Atomic Pulse and is NOT Protoculture, it is a hybrid of powerful dance-floor music where each producer brings his own magic and skills, look out for compilations carrying Atomic Culture music and you will understand what happens when two atomic reactors are getting locked inside a studio.

Ctrl+Alt+Del is the psytrance project of Vishaal Turakhia. Originally from Bombay (India), he was first exposed to electronic music when he discovered Prodigy’s - Fat of The Land 12”. From that moment, all other genres of music were put on the back burner. He set out to explore other forms of “intelligent” electronic music and was addicted to high-tech and cutting-edge electronic sounds from the likes of – Prodigy, State of Bengal, Talvin Singh, Massive Attack, Leftfield, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada and many others…

The period of true enlightenment was when he immersed himself into the burgeoning Psy-Trance culture in Bombay in 1999. After frequenting several underground psy-parties, he realized the potential of this form of music. He most identified with the Swedish sound (ie - Logic Bomb, Hux-Flux, Chromosome etc.), which was intensely psychedelic with twisted sounds and an edgy twilight/morning flavour. He began collecting psychedelic tunes and started dj-ing at parties in Bombay.

The desire to channel the passion for psy into a creative force led to the development of “Ctrl+Alt+Del.” After years of spinning psy, he began tinkering away at the computer, spending endless hours experimenting with DAWs + VSTs. While in college in New York, Vishaal often collaborated with his friend Peter Terlaak-Poot (a Violin prodigy) to add a “Classical-Goa” sound to his projects. Eventually a unique sound was developed.

The project aims at producing top-notch intelligent twilight blasters that will surely tweak the brain! The project’s 1st track was signed by Shift for Nexus-Media’s upcoming compilation – Midnight Storm III. Ctrl+Alt+Del is finally ready to explode onto the global psy-trance scene!

Hyper electro psychedelic beats defines Third Ear Syndrome’s sound. Full on aggressiveness with an appealing style that flirts with the edgier sides of techno, electro, trance, and breakbeats. After years of breeding their technique they have crafted their own brand of dance floor oriented music. It’s music engineered for the most particular listener.

The live show stands out for not only it’s distinctive sound, but also because on stage is where Third Ear Syndrome comes together. Original visuals and graphics which are produced as a collaborative effort, combined with 100% original music (no premade loops) performed straight from samplers and sequencers (no computers are used). VJ foresight being the main creator behind the visual imagery, mixes the optical candy live. That said, when all of these elements collide on stage, it’s more than enough to drive any dancefloor into a frenzy.

Dissatisfaction with a mundane and strong obsession with music and sound have led us to spend endless hours listening to repetition loops, poking the computer screen for it to satisfy our urge for visualising the beat-beings.
Besides understanding the ability to objectively analyze the created pieces and to match the desired result, we feel strongly the need to weave the daily stream of emotions and senstations into the art of self-reflection we pursuing.
A four-dimentional existance of the modern life combined with humble realizations of inner possibilities enabling us to stay critical, ironic, bold and chronicaly optimistic altogether... Have a closer look at us on animaltek.net

When she's not traveling the world collecting music and experiences, she's home learning how to best share them with you. Melanie's love of electronica started back in 1992, when she first became exposed to such seminal acts as The Orb, Aphex Twin, Moby, and other early pioneers of the nascent dance music scene. Eschewing traditional limits of what constitutes "chillout" material, Melanie's djing style encompasses a broad cross section of musical styles, combining elements of trip-hop, dub, house, drum n' bass, IDM, ambient, techno, and trance, with worldbeat and ethnic influences.

Quivering Virgin has been a major force behind the Toronto and Canadian Trance scene for over 9 years now. Having discovered the Trance culture on travels, Andrew knew he had to bring this energy back to his home town He formed the Blacklight Activists with partner Jeremy R (TaPwateR) and over the past 9 years they have been cultivating local talent, while also bringging some of Trance's biggest players to Toronto.
In the past Andrew has released tracks under the names ISMS and Sigh, but is now focused on his project Repeat Customer with partner Will Pierson (Offmode). Recently joining onto the Coldgroove records crew (founded by Jeremy R) our mission is to explore the depths of psychedelic music - with a strong focus on the progressive and techno influenced sounds. Quivering Virgin (like most Trance Dj's) has a sound best suited for sunrise or daytime party moments, but he can also rock out in the night with dark techy psychedelia! BOM!

Bush Telegraph is DJ Sketi aka Brett Hawes I hail from Cape Town, South Africa but now live in Toronto, Canada. I have been DJing since 1998 and have been fortunate enough to play on 4 continents now.
After moving here I joined the Blacklight Activists and have been one of their consistent DJ’s.
I’ve always been into the harder stuff but now find myself drifting between dark, moody nighttime music and full-power morning. Over the years I have carved out a reputation for tight mixing, fat grooves and roaring psychedelics and I am constantly amazed at the response I get from dance floors.
I consider myself a better DJ than a producer although things are coming on. I have now started Igoyai Records with Ekoplex and our aim is to expose the rest of the world to some good North American trance. We are still in the process of getting things set up and will also be releasing international artists. Contact me if you would like to send me a demo.

After moving to North America permanently in 2003, the South African import known as Sketi has become notorius for tight mixing, fat grooves and roaring psychedelics. His energy and presence behind the decks is always guaranteed to work the party into a psychedelic frenzy.......

It all began to me back in the late 90's,I was 16, and just starting to enjoy the nightlife of clubs, big rave parties, the brasilian eletronic music scene.
Back then, techno, house and all their diferent elements were growing really fast, and I became interested in learning some mixing techniques, so at the end of 1999 I decided to take DJing classes, and 2 years later I was playing in a couple nightclubs of Sao Paulo.
I found out about Psy trance about 5 years ago, and have been making my way into it since then.
I played in several open air, private, rave parties and last year I joined the crew of TTranced Festival of Sao Paulo which I still have, even being away now. I would say I have a very versatil style, ecletic maybe (taking where I'm
from!) that goes from soft to hard, with lots of groove, beat, ethnic sounds.
I believe that every sound that around us can and should be inspiring to be put into harmony and transcend into music.
