With a distinct sonic palette that includes stand up bass, muted trumpet, brush drums, glitches, womps and warm subs the Hibernation sound is crucial listening. Seb brings a lifetime of musical experience to his production, composition and arrangements, and it shows. Listening to Hibernation conjures up future memories of dark smoky jazz clubs, Bladerunner cityscapes, parallel universes, dreams half forgotten and epic nights. This is music with spirit, narrative and detail.

An accomplished guitar player, Seb also plays the tzoura, zheng, banjoud, harmonica, hammered dulcimer, hang drum, and flute as well as supplying the occasional vocal. Seb has performed around the world at clubs, parties and festivals; from "fear and loathing" style scenes in yakuza clubs in Tokyo to the over the top craziness of Shambhala in BC's Kootenay mountains, from Mad Max doofs in the dusty Australian desert to the fabled beaches of Goa. When he's not travelling, Seb can be found in his studio in Brighton, UK.

Each one of them started producing music at the early 2000. Being friends for many years & having the need to create something unique they decided to join forces. Tuning their different acoustic influences, combining music knowledge-creativity & fantasy, they formed Sygnals in 2007. Their sole purpose is to produce cerebral music for inner or outer mind-journeys through a fusion of chill-out, downbeat & atmospheric psychedelic soundscapes.. Since 2011 Sygnals are in position to perform a full live act of their tunes. They have performed live @ various places & festivals alongside with many respectful artists such as : Stefan Torto, Memphidos, Cabeiri, Fishimself, Max Million, Sesen, Vlastur & the magic H.U.V.A Network duo, Aes Dana & Solar Fields.. Their first releases was on early 2011 at Sentimony rec. in "Tempo Syndicate" later the same year in Ultimae's "Ambrosia". The first completed work came with the "Escape Life" EP released by Audio Aashram.. https://soundcloud.com/sygnals BabaG My Name is George Rafailis. Originally Greek - from Corfu island - but was born and lived most of my life in Switzerland and in Asia, mainly Thailand and India. I got many nicknames or alteregoes but the most known one is BabaG - with which i was known in my restaurant the Mahamaya and as Dj. Music was always my big love and since 1988 i worked in clubs, promoted live gigs and events, worked as music agent and had a small record label for 2 years. but after 12 years of this business I retired' and i manged co-owned an indian restaurant together with a indian friend here in Berne – the Mahamaya until Sept. 2013. A dream (the restaurant) i had since a lot of years, after my extensive travels to india and SouthEastAsia came true. Now i’m off to new Horizons and also slowly moving back to the Motherland Greece & Corfu Island. In Asia i first came into contact with Psytrance music 1993. i loved it right away. i could not believe my ears and the response of my heart to it. since then it has been a love affair with this kind of music, but with the years i also started to listen more and more ambient and chilled tunes. This music played and plays all the time at home and in the restaurant and much more places I am, more.Since my retirement from the promoting, i started djing again. the main music i play is ambient, but i play also progressive and techhouse with that progressive twist. I play and played at many private and semi-private parties, clubs, festivals (boom, aurora, universo paralello, fullmoon end more..) & events, People seems to love my sound and i love to please people with it and to bring smiles into their faces. what more can a dj want to be happy of his set and the music heis playing for the crowd. The spectrum of the music is big and varies, like in every genre – just one walk out of many - into the ocean of ambient & contemporary electronic music Link: https://soundcloud.com/babag-mahamaya
