psyacoustics Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 COSMOSIS LIVE Phantasm Records UK Bill Halsey, the producer behind Cosmosis (and Mumbo-Jumbo) is a former professional session guitarist from London. During this part of his musical career he played with countless bands playing Rock, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Pop and Hip-Hop, touring Europe and Australasia. Bill says : "Being a session muso was a game of extremes; some of the bands that I played with contained some of the most incredibly talented musicians that I ever had the pleasure to blag my way onto a stage with. On the other hand many of the bands were way beyond bad and I ended up having to commit some of the most heinious musical crimes known to man on a very regular basis - in the name of making a living..." Bill honed his writing and recording skills by composing and and recording pop tracks for over ten years before finally becoming involved with creating pure electronic music. Now as much in demand to compose music for picture as he is for live appearances to play his particular brand of tongue-in-cheek, full power Psy-Trance music on dancefloors quite literally all over the globe. During the last 12 years of touring Bill has played Cosmosis' music to ecstatic crowds in such diverse places as: Taiwan, Brazil, Israel, India, Bali, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, United States, Egypt, Switzerland, Sweden, Hungary, Denmark, England, Spain, Ireland, Canada, Serbia, Scotland, Japan, Belgium, Holland, Greece, South Africa, Russia, France, Mexico and Portugal and plays regularly in many of these countries Bill now divides his studio time between scoring music for animation, making full power dance music and touring Cosmosis worldwide.He is currently involved in creating the music for several 3D computer animation/music projects for release on DVD as well as cooking up the new and soon-to-be-ready Cosmosis album, provisionally entitled: Psychedelica Melodica Which is released on the 6th of June and will be official presented on an exclusive live performance in Athens the 16th of June ! BRAINCELL LIVE & RASTALIENS DJ SET Glowing Flame Records,Phar shyde Records Ralph grew up in a small city in south Germany. After learning several instruments like guitar, trumpet and percussion etc he started playing in a rock band. In 1994 he had his first experience with trance music on a small party in Switzerland. After that he decided to take over the decks and to start Djing.He also noticed that South Germany had not many parties happening, he begun to organise parties in the black forest. After a while the project Rastaliens came up with his close friend Jurgen. After moving to Switzerland in autumn 2003 he decided to start his own side project BRAINCELL, in which he want to produce some different tunes than the Rastaliens related stuff.His debut album 'Universal Language' was out on Glowing Flame and got great feedback from all over.His second album is coming out really soon on Glowing Flame records.Expect to see Ralph in an exclusive live performance in Athens and playing all upcoming stuff from the rastaliens new album ! AUDIOPATHIK LIVE Acidance Records Audiopathik are two mental cases from north Mexico , born and raised in the Sonoran desert , where people have more tendencies to wicked and underground kinds of music , based on this they started experimenting with several kinds of music like hardcore , gabber, speed-core and genres alike, after years of attending to undergound partys and organizing some of them they decided to jump into the other side and start making music in april 2004 ,sometime later they start to realize that some aggressiveness and horror were needed in music they rather to produce ,using a mix of scary movies samples , strong and energetic bass lines combined with synthetic and schizophrenic leads they found their style.After being under this production code for 2 years they decided to go back to their roots and create an album experimenting with sounds and structures of the different genres they started with , and adding them to the recipe they create, in which result is a powerful and irresistible to dance mix of sounds, so stay tuned for the new upcoming album from this 2 maniacs and dance among the unexpected sounds that threatens your sanity and takes you into a unpredictable trip full of schizodelia and madness.Make sure to catch those Mexican freaks just before they are off to blast the dancefloors in the summer festivals in Europe!Audiopathik will be playing their debut album "Show No Mercy" out soon on Acidance Records! ZEN MECHANICS DJ SET Neurobiotic Records,Iboga Records NL Zen Mechanics is the project of Wouter Thomassen, undoubtedly the biggest and most diverse Psytrance talent to come out of the Dutch scene in later years. Coming from a very musical family, Wouter has always been curious for new sounds, and he started DJ'ing different forms of electronic music in 1994, but eventually, after being turned on by the psychedelic squat parties happening in Amsterdam in the mid-nineties, ended up as a loyal follower of the goa trance/psychedelic trance scene. After years of being an active and creative member of the scene, organising parties, DJ-ing, graphic design for flyers and album covers, he took up music-production in 2002, and already in the beginning of 2004 he got his first track, "Have a good one" released on Beats & Pieces Records. Since then his career has progressed lightning-fast, and his clever and funky, yet powerful high-tech Trance sound has led to releases on labels like Neurobiotic, Mindfunk, Proton, Sphere/Ajuca, Sirius, Beats & Pieces and ODD Records. The groovier side of the scene also has a very strong impact on Zen Mechanics' sound though. In 2005 he got noticed by the progressive scene with the release of his track "Ground Control" on the "Set:4" compilation, released by the Danish powerhouse label Iboga Records, which became a big festival hit. He's been appearing on several of their releases since then - both on his own, but also collaborating with and remixing artists like Perfect Stranger, Ace Ventura and Behind Blue Eyes. Recently he also started a new side project called Spanner dedicated to Housier grooves, but still with pumping dance floor appeal. The first Spanner-track, "Pagan Pulse" was signed up by the Portuguese label Flow for their "Globalize" compilation, and the track has also caused very positive reactions from outside the psychedelic progressive scene. To make the circle complete, Zen Mechanics is also making chillout music, and so far one track has been released - "A New Phillosophy", released on Aleph Zero. Next year he will start working on a full-length chill/freestyle album.Zen Mechanics' debut album "Mecha-1" is now under construction and will be released later in 2007 on Neurobiotic records.
