Respect Gatherings presents: Genesis ft. PHASEPHOUR, URECKEN, SONIC SPECIES,more
"It truly is the Genesis. The beginning of a creation that will spread love and light through the beauty of music and art. In nature we will come together and share an experience with the exquisite power of psychedelic trance. Through the sound of the music, the beauty of the art, the peacefulness of nature and all of your energy, we will make our small spot on mother earth glow. The journey is waiting to be embarked on." - Eric Allen Our journey began last year, when we first conceived the notion of creating this perfect gathering. As we all know, there's always ups and downs in this journey, and even though the result may not have been perfect - we made sure it was as close to perfect as we could make it. The smiles on the dance floor and the energy flowing through nature was all it took for us to take it upon ourselves and create this sequel. Come join us as we embark on yet another journey! Please email any vending requests to respectgatherings@gmail.com For those of you that haven't been to our gathering last year - here is the event link: https://www.facebook.com/events/354122991327032/

(Kinematic Records/Portugal)~~~~ I believe the energy that makes all of us is a combination of the influences we have from what we listen too, the images we see, the things we eat and what we let ourselves believe. My music trip started before I can remember my own thoughts, now most of my day is filled with understanding sound. Music has been my main focus and dedication for the past 14 years but yet I find I'm growing to love it more every day I Listen/Mix or Produce a new track. My Goal today is to provide as much good music possible, invite our world to travel through unforgettable places and expose new sound-waves to everyone willing to let go, enjoy and be the unimaginable. This musical journey started in the Azores Islands where I got a lot of ideas for what I do now but moving around and learning about our globe has been my fuel and inspiration for making it one more step. Growing up listening to albums from the past 50 years made me appreciate the Goa Trance genre, its complexity, the things it can do with you and the things you can do with it. I was hooked the first time I was exposed to it. This frame of thought that promotes Incredible Complex Music, Social Diversity, Acceptance, Harmony, Ours and Natures Well Being, Love and Unity is not something I could ever turn my back too. Goa/Psychedelic trance for me and many, is far more than just a genre of music, and if you are reading this... chances are, you know it too. If there's a sound, there can be music... if there is music there is dancing and the world will keep spinning as long as we keep stomping. http://soundcloud.com/manipulation https://www.facebook.com/pages/ManipulatioN/327720608749 ~~~~HYPNOCOUSTICS LIVE!

(Pharmacy Music,AlterCulture Records/New York)~~~ Grains of Sound is an ambient/psy-trance project fronted by brothers Chris (Exeris) & Jason Sevanick, who gained notoriety with their industrial electronic act, Mindless Faith. In 2007, Grains of Sound released their double-disc debut album "Rays of Life", comprised of Vol. 1 Down (downtempo) and Vol. 2 Under (ambient), on AlterCulture Records. The album received excellent reviews: "Mysterious and beautiful without even trying" - 4 out of 5 ambientmusicguide.com; "Verdict? Buy this now" buzzoutroom.com. Even ambient duo Carbon Based Lifeforms commented: "Sweeeet tracks!" On their sophomore release, "Sine Language" (2010), Grains of Sound unleashed a full spectrum of musical ingenuity. As a concept album, each volume features their hypnotic futuristic sound, both worldly and other-worldly, a dynamic experience that is equally stunning in its intensity as it is relaxing in its peacefulness. But each volume of Sine Language explores different styles and energy levels of this unified vibe. From uptempo psychedelic trance, both progressive and minimal, along with hints of house and breaks, to lush, sweeping soundscapes that wash over sub bass frequencies and deep downtempo beats, to vast evolving layers, organic textures and sentient sounds that leave all beats behind, pure ambient intoxication. Dance, chill, or zone, Grains of Sound has you covered. Grains of Sound have performed live around the NE USA, including Gaian Mind and ORB festivals three years in a row, Vayeb/DOOT Festival in Colorado, and twice in Amsterdam. They have released music videos, one using footage provided and authorized by the European Space Agency (ESA), which has generated over 60,000 views. Their music has captured the interest of world-class DJ Christopher Lawrence, who will release two new uptempo Grains of Sound songs on his Pharmacy Music label on August 27, 2012. http://www.grainsofsound.net/website_v2sine/home.php https://www.facebook.com/grainsofsound MUCH MUCH MORE TBA.....
