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 – Kirril Schreiber

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.

Tim Willem Horsch – Thox – Mirror Neurons

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.

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.

Besides that, there are also plans for an Indian tour.

Matthias Erhard – Nullgrad

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.

A light-hearted, elegant, yet pounding and groovy style can be roughly described as “a blend of Light Night and Heavy Morning Psychedelic Music“. Rock, Jazz, [Happy] Hardcore, Drum’n’Bass, Techno and House have all made significant contributions to his style.

Konflux has spun across the United States alongside a multitude of international acts, participating in major events like Gaian Mind in Pennsylvannia, Burning Man in Nevada, Boom Festival Radio in Portugal and countless California outdoor gatherings.

Konflux has tunes released on UK’s Phar Psyde, Italy’s Looney Moon and Pixan, and Israel’s Doof Records. More original tracks are on the way for 2009. He also has a currently inactive collaboration project Jetlux with the LA based producer Jeto, with releases on Divine Balance Records from Chicago and on Mumbai based Sonic Tantra.

Stephane Holweck – Total Eclipse

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.
