SKYHIGHATRIST (UK) www.myspace.com/twistedmindfunk Amazed by the evolving synthetic sounds in psytrance, and with a hopeful desire to create some oddness of his own, the embryonic Skyhighatrist emerged. Then, locked away in a darkened room for way too long, he tinkered away on his synths, craving the misbegotten emissions and illicit twisted grooves which so demented his being. The spawn: “twisted psilocybic mindfunk” his sound - an infectious trippy elixir that makes you move your feet (and everything else…) Funky basslines, twisted acidic leads and luscious pads, to launch revellers in to the stratosphere and trip them out. Pure psychedelic madness. Strange noises, messed up samples and alien abduction. It’s all about the wobble and having fun!!
GALACTIC MONKEY (UK) www.myspace.com/galacticmonk3y Having decided that the punters wanted to hear more than a drum kit falling down the stairs (as early forays into the dj jungle had afforded) he discovered far greater pleasure creating and performing his own brew. After much pondering, chin scratching and quite a bit of begging, by hook and by crook he got himself a loaded laptop and a pair of headphones. In the late Indian summer of 2006 he decided he was a musician and the entity Galactic Monkey, was alive! Galactic Monkey has pioneered his sound creating punchy driving tuneage with a tongue in cheek ripple others call it twisty and chunky either way it’s a strange infectious form of psychedelic music and WE LOVE IT!!
NYAMA (Hamburg) www.myspace.com/nyamamusica some crawl from the trees, some are abducted at birth from distant universes and others skulk in darkened caves.
'Nyama' is a project by Jan out of Hamburgs subterranean labyrinth. Having unleashed a digital EP on psybertribe recs from SF, he unmasked the gluttonous need to feed on the syrup of sound, and was led to seek out the frivolity in his sound and out of his darkness and into Catawampia. Within the Catawampus Clan he fits, he found his form. loving their concept he's proud to be a Catawampi.
LOOSE CONNECTION (Wales) www.myspace.com/looseconnectionpsy Loose Connection are Kris Oddity and Psyder Morris. They come from the valleys of South Wales Swansea. Psyder and Oddity teamed up and started producing psy trance only 6 months ago but already they have made they're own unique soundscapes. Currently working on a live sets that will differ from other 'live' acts. They're goal, musically, is to send any listener into a confused psychedelic state of madness and mayhem, spewing audio discharge to feast ya ears on... Deep basslines, wacky samples with acidic leads roled together in one big psychedelic slap. Why be so serious making everthing so serious. Nonsense is key. How low brow can you go?

CHERYL TECHNOMEDIC (UK) www.myspace.com/cheryl_technomedic Cheryl weaves her own fierce twist of tunes, unpredictable, chunky and hard with psychedelic positivity. Driving bass lines, and nailing off-beat drum sequences and crazy ass build ups, she spreads her infectious energy and Cheshire cat smile across the dance floor.

South African Corona, whose second album is getting ready to be launched on Solar Tech very soon, and his compatriot Chabunk teamed for a Sunset Safari. As this term implies, it is an beautiful but also an adventurous tour that awaits the listeners. On the contrary of cheesy standard melodies, these varied tracks put the idea of Trance in a nutshell and distinguish themselves by forcing power and deepness. While most of them represent the creativity of South Africa, also material from Brazil, Chile, the UK and Germany is included.
