Leo Greshilov was born in Russia, Moscow.
The exact time is not yet known by scientists.
Little Leo really enjoyed to take clocks and watches apart.
When he got bored of that, he began to build computers.
Once he found out that computers can make nice sounds.
Later he came to Goa India, met with full power and learned
how things are organized in time and space.
Since that time he has been creating psychedelic trance for powerfull dancing.
He thinks that the dance is the most available way to reach harmony with
inner and outer space, proved to be true by centuries.
Throughout the path his soulfriends enriched and delighted his experience.
Among them are:
Grandma, Murzik, Vlad CPC, Jaffa and Monno Grapes Of Wrath, Alex and Zolod
Parasense, Vasya Psycovski, his big family and everything that is around.
Derango
Derango is the imaginative outcome of Jens Eriksson and Ola Eriksson (although the surname suggests it, they are not related). Originally from Örebro, Sweden, they now
live in Malmö after deciding to move in early 2000. Having had several electronically-oriented projects in the past, it was during this year they started making psychedelic
music together.
Both of them have been playing in various alternative rock band's inbetween 1995 and
1999. At this latter point their interest in electronic music had grown so strong it could no longer be held back. So by unleashing, and ultimately harnessing the seemingly stubborn forces synthesizers and samplers possess, they discovered new ways of expressing creativity and teamed up to piece together for you, as well as to their own bemusement, some weird psycho-acoustic audiovisualisations.
Para Halu
Para Halu started in the spring of 2002 by Andras Fekete (Pondesz), Adam Hohmann (Homen), and two friends of them. Later Christian Steiner and Mark Bokay left the project, but they did not finish working together: Christian and Adam are still running Diarrhoea and Mandrugorrah (Mistress of Evil Records) projects. Adam is working as full-time producer in several side projects also, among others in The Path, running with Peter Takacs aka Deto, and currently working on their debut album together with Para Halu. The album will be released in 2007, under the name Para Halu on The Path.
Para Halu got known in the hungarian scene first to their eclectic live appearances, imaginative and intelligent brain-twisting psy tunes, the movie-samples and unexpected fusions they use - besides, they already produced music for a documentary film also. Sounds like a jackhammer's noise mean them simply an unfailing thesaurus of musical ideas: their creativity of working with samples and experimental fusions are comparable
with only a few worldwide famous artists making musical compositions from simple noises.
The psychedelic underground scene quickly gave the glad hand to Para Halu, and since
Goa Gil is regurarly playing their tracks, they got, and getting more and more known all over the world.
Beginning with the dark, wild and energetic psychedelic tunes, in the past few
years they got to the deep, hypnotic, portentously wreathing, and more complex
brain-massage-sounding. They continously doing gigs all over the world and on
the biggest festivals with their energetic-atmospheric live sets. Besides the
"Grandfather of goa", nighttime darkpsy djs far and wide also love to play
their tracks, though in some places in the world Para Halu is sometimes asked
to appear in the morning hours.
They released their first album themselves in 2002. Some tracks of No Para
Full Halu is often mentioned as favourites by a lot of psyfreaks also nowadays.
After numerous releases on various record labels (such as Parvati, Discovalley,
Nabi, Tantrumm, Insomnia, Mistress of Evil,... etc.) their second album was
released in 2005 by the danish Parvati Records. Some darkpsy fans called
The World Of Peace the release of the year, Psyreviews.com compared the
stuff with the musical complexity of Squarepusher's, and on the mystic atmospheres,
hypnotic and dark tunes, one can recognise minimal and experimental, nor yet
acid-house influences on the album also.
During their travels, they could make tracks together already with artists like CPC,
Digital Talk, Blisargon Demogorgon or Phobos Azazel, not to mention the Zik (Matutero/Horror Place) + Ocelot + Para Halu collaboration, which was called by
fans as The Three Tenors of the undergound psychedelia. (The track Baszdmeg!
appeared in 2005 on a V/A by Insomnia Records in Moscow.) In the near future
more similar collaborations to be come.
Besides the producing work Adam (with his partner, Zoltan Muranyi) is also organizing
an openair darkpsy festival called Magic May, which took place at the ruins of an abbey
for the second time in May 2005, presenting live appearances for the first time in Hungary from artists like Zik, Ocelot, Naked Tourist, Loopus in Fabula and many others. The next festival will be held in 2007. Not only the live sets but also the solo dj sets of the Para Halu guys are being more and more popular: they already played with great success the
freshest psytunes from their own, and their friends in India, Russia or in Greece. In
addition to the gigs and the new album, starting works of an own label is also in progress, with the unconcealed ambition to make, spread and promote the music of the future...

His musical influences are a tasty cocktail of american psychedelic acid rock from the sixtees, american punk rock from the seventies, hard punk-speed-death-metal stuff from the eighties till today, new wave of british progressive rock, industrial & gothic.

Natan's music now is still hard powerful underground psytrance for acidheads, mostly dark and uncompromising, as his interpretation of the way the most human beings are feeling nowadays. A menacingly jamming chaotic music machine building sets quite far away from the tipical commercial forms of psychedelic goatrance. Actually Natan prefers strong late-night/early-morning sets at clubs and open air parties managed by true psychedelic families rather than strange commercial unpersonal events.

The 25 year-old half-German, half-American musician and producer has been attracted to rhythm and music ever since he can remember.

He also started working in a music shop, a job that allows him to be in touch with new technologies in a professional setting. At the end of the nineties, Benjamin discovered electronic music and began to dj in raves. Shortly afterwards, he was introduced into the parallel universe of psychedelic trance, where he was instantly attracted both to the evolution of new sounds and the richness of the psy-culture. He was hooked! The next few years saw Benjamin a.k.a. Dj Smart Side, spinning the decks at a growing number of parties and festivals in Switzerland and Europe.

techniques. Having CBL as his main focus and some other projects on the side there's always room for personal reflections. SYNC24 is the result of sudden impulse of inspiration, late nights without interference from others.

Mercury Fall
Mercury Fall, aka Alexandre Cagli, is a chill-out and full-on DJ since 2002. He discovered the scene in the mid-90's. He started producing his own music in 2004 and found his best mean of expression in ambient and down-tempo chill-out music. His live act varies from deep atmospheric chill out to groovy down-tempo. Inspirations are multiple, which makes his music original and diverse. He created Moonloop Records in 2007, and has released his first compilation as a psytrance DJ - Floating Mirror - in July this year.

Mizoo
He was born in 1976 in the swiss mountains. His astral sign is the fish, his spirit streams between the depths of the oceans and somewhere up there in space. He loves the nice pirates. He discovered the universe of the psy’trance music in 1995 in a party in Switzerland. During the boom festival 1998 in Portugal, he’s been astonished by the beauty of orange color mixes with the ultraviolet rays. The nag champa smell is now his preferred ambient perfume. Feelfree.dj was created with cosmics brothers in Jura/Switzerland in 2003.
From 1992, he explored different styles of music : ambient, trip-hop, reggae-dub, electro, deep house, progressive and psychedelic trance. He plays in differents parties & festival as Rhythms of Peace, TimeGate, Colors of Life & in others Swiss parties. From 2005, he plays some intro & outro for main floor + chill out music for the nite & the morning.
Can our conscience continues to keep us in peace, thank you life.
Deep love to Nanou (his wife), Tristan (his little boy), to Gaïa & Gaufrette (his cats). Good vibes to all friends near the feelfree’s familie, love & light
Teratone Vision
Visual Animations
T-Vision (aka Teratone Vision) is a french-swiss team composed of VJ's Ikar
(Geneva), Soyouth (Paris) & Yog (Nice), providing a synaesthetic experience
celebrating the deep spirit within trance. This VJ crew offers a unique,
six-hand-made, live video performance : blending together video footage,
homemade creations & live input into an alien psychedelic lifeform. They are
pushing for high-quality, liquidelik visuals to drive you into a
mind-altering journey by putting the emphasis on live improvisation, beat
reaction and enhanced interactivity.
Those three goafreaks strongly believe in the multisensory psychedelic state
of trance triggered by dancing, music, video, lights, incents, nature,
empathy with other people. That is why visuals shall not be seen as separate
>from other ingredients of the magic, it is important for them to be really
integrated, this can be achieved by using new shapes and materials for
projections and through more interaction with artists, stage designers and
deco teams. They gather regularly at TripBubble Lab, to carry out twisted
experiments: interactive installations, multi-screen projections, immersive
virtual-reality setups, timelapse shootings, prepare a forthcoming
audiovisual performance... and they are willing to spread the vibe on the
world's pupils.
