Amazed by the evolving synthetic sounds in psytrance and with a hopeful desire to create some oddness of his own, the Skyhighatrist was born. Locked in a darkened room for way too long, he tinkered away on synths looking for mental sounds and twisted grooves. The end result, a still evolving “twisted psilocybic mindfunk”. An infectious trippy groove 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!!
There are now 2 projects.
Skyhighatrist - a growly, headspinning, third eye activation for the nightime that has maximal sonic impact at twilight.
Skyhigh'n'Ting - a cheeky downtempo project perfect for falling over in a field the day after and grinning from ear to ear...
He has been fortunate to have played for many promoters over the years in France, Germany and Australia as well as the UK, playing alongside acts like Eat Static, Rev, Fungus Funk, Error Corrective, Electrypnose, Psymmetrix, EVP, Chromatone, Hydraglyph, Dick Trevor, Entropy, Man With No Name, Reality Grid, OOOD, Steve Hillage, Texas Faggott, Cosmosis, B55, Illusion of Self, Safi Connection, M Theory, Electric Mirror, Phatmatix and Organic Hybrid.
Whipping up a vortex at shamania – thank you to who ever recorded it…

Nine delicious tracks, spew misbegotten emissions and illicit twisted grooves - punchy, driving tuneage with a tongue in cheek ripple These advanced beings, ener-genetically operate on the helpless monkey-human body.
