Simon Roberts – Amuvor
Simon Roberts AKA Amuvor.
Born in 1996 and raised in the Netherlands.
From a young age he has been invested in rock and metal music and always had dreams of playing in a band one day.
In a weird twist of event he discovered the psychedelic scene by chance in 2014 and he never looked back, falling in love immediately with the music and its beautiful people.
Shortly after this discovery he knew he wanted to create psytrance on his own, to put his emotion and experiences in music.
He experimented a lot with styles and sub-genres, going from his first song to more full-on psytrance, even trying out ambient.
Now he makes tunes that truly come from his heart.
From drums that drags you deep into mother earth, to psychedelic splendor that rockets you to the stars.
Miss GoaFreaky (Yvonne de Boer) first met the Goa scene in back in 1996. Throughout the years she developed a large international network including many well known dj’s.
In 2016 she decided to take the bet and learn how to mix herself. Since then she is a member of the Go A Head label and since 2022 she part of Skypeople Music.
Corka’an
Born in 1972 ..he has no music background.
around 2006 he found a psy-trance CD in his car it was his first contact with psy-trance music.
The music intrigued him, so he went looking for psy-trance parties.
A good friend showed him where to go if he wanted to know the scene. He soon felt at home. In 2009 he organizes for the first time a private party called AUMDAT!
He immersed himself in designing deco under the name Goalistic area 51.
After listening to so much of psy-trance in different locations, he knew he wanted to be the guy who decides what kind of music is playing.
So he bought his first set of players CDJ 100S with Behringer 750 mixer and taught himself how to play.
His first public appearance was at the GIDEON festival in 2012 under the name Aquatone. After this performance, he knew it … He wants to go further than this. He wants to grow and get better.
With hard working and playing for hours and hours in his small basement, he gets the real feeling. People are inviting him to play at small parties at first. He really enjoys wat he is doing.
Now he starts to play psychedelic chill out too! With more playing time he gets to play at bigger parties and people start to recognize his sound!
People see his hard work and in 2014 he gets the chance to play two sets at a major festival, Psy-fi.
A wish came true for him.
To separate the chill-out and dark sets he had to find the other performance name and it came to him as Corka’an.
Now that he plays for a longer time, his taste in music is so wide that he decides to use the name Aquatone only for chill-out sets and Corka’an will play the dark psychedelic sounds.

Bloc is a collective started and lead by Kirril Schreiber, they make a dark, psychedelic and often a melodic blend of electronics, industrial and experimental pop music.
Influenced by chaotic life in squatted buildings and a seemingly endless succession of parties, Kirril started to make music in 2007. More and more his music started to get influenced by the darker side of things around him.After some years of partying, roaming around and performing on illegal events, he started to study music production. There he worked obsessively on his skills for 5 years, working from 9 in the morning to about 10 in the evening every day, while also continuing the nightlife. During this time, he also met the other members of Bloc, hip-hop producer Eugene de Munck and glitch producer Eric Flumine, as well as frequent vocal collaborators Ruben van Hemmen, Martine Vrieswijk and others.
The 3 EP´s Bloc has made so far are the result of highly collaborative sessions at Kirill’s home.
Diverse influences and skill sets came together to form an eclectic whole. Kirill’s experience in both sound design for movie and theatre, being a mix engineer for bands, and making obscure, dark dance music for illegal events, combined with the various musical skill-sets of the other members and vocal collaborators of Bloc, are important factors in the development of the sound of Bloc.
Just as important was the collaborative work environment, a constant conversation, exchanging ideas, developing them further, making the music into something just one individual would not be able to do.
The result is a body of work that does not fit into one category. Sometimes dark and melancholic, sometimes suddenly collapsing onto itself in glitched out and industrial influenced madness.

Ever since Thox was young he was very interested in EDM, listening to hardcore, techno, house, and minimal. And started to play around making tunes as early as 1999 in that time still drifting between different DAW’s. When he came of age he also started to play with vinyl in clubs around 2005. Those were mostly local clubs and parties under the alias Thox.
Playing mainly progressive trance, tech-house, and of course GOA-trance. After some years Thox lost contact with the fun of playing for crowds and almost stopped playing in clubs for nine years. Still doing the small and private gigs slowly the fun of live performing was recaptured. In 2015 Thox and the former member Matthijs met each other at a party and the musical spark was really lit again! After some time Matthijs was introduced to Psytrance by Thox and it just clicked. Mirror Neurons were formed a few short weeks later! They were making those melodic progressive sounds from 2017 till the start of 2020. Since then the driving force behind Mirror Neurons has been the rebranded Thox.
The Tromp brothers form the beating heart of BMI Goes India (Psychedelic Indian electronic dance with live sitar). They build a bridge between electronic dance music and classical Indian and Bollywood music.
Ravi Shankar meets Shpongle/ Hilight Tribe, you could call it. In the meantime, BMI Goes India has built up a great live set reputation and has played at a wide diversity of festivals in their home country Netherland and abroad, such as Mysteryland, Xperience festival, Psy fi, International Day of Yoga, Visions of Paradise, and festival Mundial.
The brothers have earned their spurs in all kinds of bands and projects. Barend is a trained sitar player. In order to refine his playing on this Indian string instrument, he lived in India for six months, where he was taught every day by a classically trained sitar master. He also took lessons from well-known Indian sitar players who were on tour in Europe.
Barend is also a gifted and experimental bassist and guitarist. Maarten is a dance producer. He takes care of the electronics. Live he also takes care of the visuals that provide a unique total experience.
BMI Goes India has released two albums. For the third album, the approach is a bit different. From now on every few weeks a single will be released online (Spotify etc).
Nowadays they also work intensively with Indian singer Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan (Madras Chorus) and you can also hear live tabla percussion from The Suited Tablist in their music. Soon they also will show their skills on stage together.

DJ Cosmix, born in March 1961, began his electronic dance music at the age of 30, after his India trip / Goa. While living in Frankfurt am Main, one of the largest European cities at the time of the techno music, he got psychoactive techno, as well as rythmic and Moody trance sounds, to
compile his first own mix tapes.
His career began in 1993, with the gig at a party in Berlin, during the Love Parade. He produced his first musical production in the same year, a few weeks later, with “X-Dream” from Hamburg. This is known as “Moondust E.P.” at Tunnel Records. the European transcendence scene was extremely popular and sought after. In 1994 he produced “Kumba Mela E.P.” with Etnica in Milan / Italy for Matsuri Productions London. Numerous other productions followed in the coming years.

He was followed by a lot of international appearances like Matsuri LabelParty Paris / London, Gaia in France, Return to the Source in London / Tokyo, New Year in Guadeloupe (FWI) Zoom-Streetparade / Zurich, “The total Eclipse” as well as the “Solipse” in Hungary etc.
His collaboration with the Earthdance of the year 1997 can not be left unexpected. Earthdance is a global association of international organizers (in 2009, more than 300 events in 60 countries), whose goal is to combine the positive forces of modern electronic dance music and dance culture for humanitarian purposes and a global awareness of peace and freedom. The funds raised at that time were donated to projects in the exile area of the Tibetans in North India and Cosmix was invited to a private study at the Dalei Lama in 1998!

There has been always music in the life of Nullgrad/Mattzer aka Matthias Erhard. Back in these early days he got his musical education in dulcimer and saxophone. In the beginning of the 90s, friends took him to his first experience with electronic music. After visiting some concerts he wanted to produce music by himself.
In 1999 he purchased his first Groove-box from his first clean money and fell promptly sick with G.A.S. (Gear Akquisition Syndrome). He started producing IDM and Industrial Music. He performed his first live gigs in Vancouver, Canada between 1999 and 2001, followed by his first official Industrial releases on Vinyl, Tape, Cassette and CD and live shows all over Europe from Vienna to St. Petersburg.
In 2004 he formed the project Zero Degree to produce Ambient und Downbeat – a atmospheric mixture of minimalistic and rhythmic structures and of course opulent ambient sounds. This was followed by some releases on established industrial labels like Audiophob and Ant-Zen and shows at „Maschinenfest“ and the world known Wave-Gothic-Gathering (WGT) in
Leipzig / Germany.
In a CD-Review of a Zero Degree release the label Ultimae Records was mentioned and so he hit upon the sounds of Solar Fields, Aes Dana and Vibrasphere. Finally at the Experience Festival 2011 in Thailand he became convinced with the variety of Psychedelic Trance.
In 2010 Matthias founded the side project Nullgrad, as a industrial music project which transformed promptly into a psychedelic project. In 2013 he discoverd Zenonesque and Dark Progressive sounds, which impressed him so much that he decided to produce sounds like this with this new project. Soon afterwards he has expanded this range with psychedelic forest / sounds around 150 Bpm.
With every track he gives a part of himself, a special moment, a emotional feeling, something experienced. For Matthias, this is the way to share feelings and tell about things like that. He gets pushed forward by reaching the audience with that or just by helping in corresponding situations. For this reason its very essential for him, to have and use a own signature mark in his music.
R0dr01d A.K.A. Rodrigo Ramírez started djing in 1998 warming up for a funky rock project in Argentina.He discovered the world of psy trance in Spain in 2004, after this he decided to start producing chill out music.At the begining he was involved in a chill out experiment called Nü Tao that is still alive.Now After more than 10 years of producing downtempo he decided to explore another sonic landscapes combining techno, psy trance, deep house and funk of course, he played in free parties and festivals like Sonica in Italy or Vuuv in Germany besides being part of the crew in festivals around south America like Moonflower Patagonia, Andes X-treme, or Nirvana in Cordoba Argentina.

Frenchman Stephane Holweck started his music career in 1976, when he joined Hungarian Peter
Ogi (O.G.I.) as bass player. OGI signed a deal with Malcolm McLaren, so they moved to
London, UK. In the early 80’s, he played with several South London rock bands, and started
jamming with Youth who had just left Killing Joke, and they formed their own group called
Brilliant. They both played the bass and were boosted by the drumming of Big Paul. The group
recorded various singles and got charted in the independent charts. They were also joined by
Jimmy Cauty, who lived in the same house as Stephane. Ben Watkins joined them in 1983 to
play keyboards on a tour.
In 1984, Stephane created another band called Fresh, with Brandon Beal and Muff O’Donnell. In
1985 they recorded Bobby’s Boys “Bobby Can’t Dance”. An electro single which involved
Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese. They went to New York to record an album, but the
collaboration stopped when the record company closed down.
In 1989 he made a band with Ben Watkins called Electrotete, which was a 100% electronic based
music project. They recorded singles for various labels and the project was dedicated to make
party music, sending the tracks to Goa, India via the French DJ Yayo TBE and Fred KNK.
In 1992 Ben and Stef formed Juno Reactor and released the album Transmissions on Nova Mute.
They also involved themselves in the art world when they recorded a live experimental ambient
soundtrack to accompany the sculptural installation of Norma Fletcher (later released as the
Luciana album).
Slowly Stef slowed down his work relationship with Ben, but he was still participating on the
albums Beyond The Infinite, Bible Of Dreams and Shango. In the meantime, to escape the
intensity of working with Juno Reactor, Stef linked up with Serge Souque in Paris at a TBE party
on the famous Delo Barge. They wrote two tracks and recorded them in Youth’s Butterfly Studios
under the name Total Eclipse. Soon after, Loic Vanpoucke joined the band. From there they built
their studio in Serge’s home-town Bordeaux. This project was very successful and Stephane has
continued Total Eclipse as a solo effort since around 2005.
Around 2003, Stephane, together with Michio Baba (who also collaborated on the Total Eclipse
album Update Files), laid the foundations for the chill-out collective Digital Mystery Tour.
Stephane Holweck continues touring around the world and creating new projects such as
Terraformers and Toxic Engine, exploring many different music styles.
