PsYcHeGrOuND Presents **Gratitude** a 3-D experience, Featuring Daksinamurti
Dear PsYcHeGrOuND Family, That's right! We are back and this time with a concept, and a 3-D experience! For us, Thanksgiving is about family, love and gratitude; which is why we decided it is most appropriate to throw a comeback party on Thanksgiving Eve. PsYcHeGrOuND is our long-time home— a sanctuary for New York trancers where we have felt most comfortable. We wanted to express our utmost gratitude to our extended trance family and everyone who has supported us over the years; if it weren't for you, we would not exist. To make the party super extra sentimental we are bringing back DJ Daksinamurti, who has repeatedly rocked our dance-floor quite a few times (and we still can't get enough of him) Are you ready to go 3D?! We are putting together a most psychedelic 3D PsYcHeGrOuND Thanksgiving experience! PsYcHeGrOuND will provide 3D glasses and a special 3D video installation not to be missed! Lineup: DAKSINAMURTI (Time Code Rec/Sangoma Rec/Peak Rec) https://soundcloud.com/daksi Daksinamurti is a psychedelic trance artist and Ethnologist from Marburg, Germany. Besides DJ’ing for over a decade, Till is managing the labels Sangoma and Timecode Records, and producing the Live act Android Spirit together with his friend Josef (Tickets). In his early youth he fell in love with psychedelic music from the 1960’s, World Music and Reggae. End of the 90’s he discovered what was called “Goa trance” on the beaches and jungle parties in India, and was fascinated by the music’s driving beats, and hypnotic melodies vibrating in the air. He soon started to listen and collect tons of music, and hasn’t stopped since - developing a diverse taste for mind-bending music and studying its effects on minds, and bodies. Daksi is constantly on the quest to find new and exciting psychedelic music to release on the labels Sangoma and Timecode, which he runs with his label partner Emiel (Gata Freak) from Qatar. His passion for traveling, and curiosity in culture, mythology, and conceptions of worldviews lead him to study cultural anthropology and science of religion, which he finished with a magister decree. Having played and traveled in many amazing countries and festivals on all continents, Till combined his passion for ethnology, music, and worked on various projects, and labels within the Psychedelic scene such as Shiva Space Technology, Nexus Media, Dacru and Peak Records among others. During the years Till has built a everlasting reputation within the international scene; sharing his musical visions and vibes at various parties and festivals like Boom (Portugal), Universo Paralello (Brazil), S.U.N Festival (Hungary), Hadra Trance Festival (France), Rezonance/ Alien Safari (South Africa), Universal Religion (Nepal), VuuV (Germany), Antaris (Germany), Fusion (Germany), Freedom Festival (Portugal), Psy- Fi (Netherlands) … Daksinamurti’s live project “Android Spirit” together with his friend Josef (Tickets/Brethren) was launched in 2013, and they soon released their debut album “Synthetic Organism” on Timecode Records in 2014. Both, if not touring, are constantly working on fresh music in their Germany based studio and been releasing music on labels such as Phantasm, Timecode, Digital Psionics, Sangoma /Blue Hour Sounds, Fractal, Forestdelic among other. Daksinamurti prefers to play extended DJ sets far from predictability and stereotypes to create a colorful storyline suitable for dance floors at any hour of the party. His trance inducing sets are ranging from night to light – colorful journeys through energetic psychedelic trance with strong grooves, organic and tribal soundscapes and occasionally a blend of timeless Goa melodies in a forest friendly outfit. Till’s love for diversity and mystical themes are also reflected in multiple compilation releases he worked on - always evolving his perspective of contemporary psychedelic music and culture. opening set by: IZZY (Sangoma Rec/ Radial Engine Tribe/ Paradigm Shift) Izzy is a New York City based DJ who has performed numerous events lifting crowds off their behinds to find their way stomping on the dancefloor to fresh psychedelic beats. Shortly after attending his first psytrance festival in 2009 he found himself behind a pair CDJs, beat matching his short collection of tunes in no time. After throwing a mind-blowing set at Luis Campos’s Psycheground in the end of 2010, he found his schedule flooded with gigs almost every weekend, leading him to join Rob’s Radial Engine Tribe and Sebastian’s Paradigm Shift. Only after a year of DJing, Izzy’s potential was immediately recognized, leading him to join Daksinamurti Till’s and Emile Gata Freak’s new sub-label, Sangoma Records. Since the beginning of his DJ career, Izzy has shared the room with some of the most well known Psytrance artists across the globe. Besides playing countless events in NYC, he has torn up dance floors in Israel, Boston, the Arizona dessert and a quite a few shindigs in Albany. He has recently released his first compilation together with his dear friend DJ Cosinus, VA Ironic Creatures, bringing a taste of some of his favorite producers from all over the world. His sets consist of carefully chosen psychedelic beats ranging from 135 BPM all the way up to 150 BPM. He is very keen on playing the appropriate music for the right time and place. Whether he is playing uplifting and melodic or deep and dark he is known to always keep his sets groovy and psychedelic, leaving his crowd begging for one more track…
