Lokesh aka Tranzatma, born in New Delhi, currently lives, DJs and produces music in San Francisco, California. His genre defying music includes Indian/World Fusion, Ethnic Electronica, Progressive Trance, Psytrance, Dubstep and Drum-N-Bass. His music transcends geographical or cultural boundaries, and mixing eastern and western sounds seamlessly comes naturally to him. His compositions tell a story which is both mysterious and in-your-face.
As part of a few Bay Area collectives (including Geomagnetic, Vishnu Operative and Ultraviolet Carnival), Lokesh has collaborated with many musicians in San Francisco. He has performed all over the Bay area including the legendary 1015 Folsom, Supperclub, Burning Man Festival, Kellys, Shine etc. He has shared the stage with international artists like Karsh Kale, Chebi Sabbah, Doctor Spook, Tall Sasha, Micropixie etc. His tracks and sets have been featured on BBC Asia Network, World Fusion Radio and IndianElectronica.com.
UTOPIA is the first full-length album from Lokesh. It’s a concept album with heavy Ethnic, Rock and Electronica influences. As a follow-up to the successful Soul Rush EP by Lokesh, Utopia blurs the line between various electronic music genres, especially Trance, Drum-N-Bass, Dubstep, Progressive House and Indian/World Electronica. And its message is loud and clear - Music is the new universal language that’s ever-evolving.

While nowadays it often seems like all the Psy Trance labels either reduce the speed of their releases and turn to more and more body-orientated club sounds or crank up the tempo of their music to rather hectic levels, Solar Tech Records delivers an excellent selection of tunes that keeps the golden mean: With tracks between 142 and 145 BPM the music is powerful, driving and very psychedelic on the one hand but also progressive in the original meaning of the word and does not get stressful or kitschy at any point. For this second compilation label owner DJ Natron extended his network of promising producers from South Africa, Switzerland, UK, Germany and South America and again presents some sparking pearls for original Psychedelic lovers.
Solar Atmosphere trifft genau die selten gewordene Mitte zwischen immer langsamer und minimaler werdendem Progressive Trance und den zur Hektik tendierenden Geschwindigkeiten zeitgenössischer Psychedelic Produktionen: Mit 142 – 145 BPM sind die Tracks auf dieser zweiten Compilation des Labels Solar Tech Records treibend, druckvoll und psychedelisch, ohne jedoch stressig oder gar kitschig zu werden.
