Joerg Kessler (Shiva Joerg) is a Psytrance DJ from the very beginning.
He played his first parties in Goa and Hampi, the old capital of India, around 1990. Joerg had his spiritual experience through the unlimited power and possibilities of Trancemusic and found his purpose in this life and cosmos!
Since then he and friends went the long way overland to India regularly.
He brought soundsystems from Germany and took them on busses and trucks
and on the way he made various parties, for example in the desert of Iran ,Nepal, and mindblowing parties in Hampi /India, which are still remaining in the memory and the heart of many freaks and Trance lovers .

Under the Shiva Space Technology label, an excellent musician "Erez Izen" (Infected Mushroom, Israel) joined the label under the name “Shidapu” and in collaboration with Joerg, under the name “Shiva Shidapu“ with his original style and energy.
Also SHIVA SPACE TECHNOLOGY released the first tracks of Yahel, Infected Mushroom ,Skazi, Cosma, and many more.
With combined productions Shiva Joerg exceeded the traditional framework of Psy-trance, Deep Ambient, and Progressive and continues to transform electronic music and Goa trance today.
