RA (Suntrip Rec. / Blue Moon Productions / Global Trance Network) NORWAY/ THAILAND RA was first founded in 1994 by Christer Borge-Lunde and Lars W. Lind. In 1998 Chris and Lars went their separate ways and Christer continued RA primarily as a solo project, while Lars continued working on other projects like Dimension 5 or Electron Wave. In 1998 RA was signed with Blue Moon Productions UK and the first single Azure Child was released. In 1999 and 2000 RA was working with Blue Moon Thailand and collaborated with Charlie Clarke which contributed on the album "To Sirius". The album was first released in Thailand in 2000 and later re-released world wide in 2001 by the German label Velvet/GTN. RA remained primarily a solo project by Christer until late 2006 when Lars and Christer decided to continue working with RA together. RA was finally back to the way it was intended from the very beginning, both musically and spiritually. Best heard on their latest release on Suntrip Records: “9th” (The ultimate proof that Goa Trance is still alive and kickin) COSMOSIS (Transient Rec. / Phantasm Rec. / Holophonic Rec.) UK / SWITZERLAND Cosmosis are one of the few artists on the Psy-Trance scene with an distinctive sound, Cosmosis were also one of the original artists that, along with Total Eclipse, Hallucinogen, Man With No Name and Astral Projection, pioneered the Goa and Psy-trance sound in the early nineties. Cosmosis' first album - the seminal Cosmology - was one of the first Goa or Psy-Trance artist albums Released in 1996 it is widely regarded as one of the few classic Goa albums. Followed by 6 otheralbums, you can be sure to have one of te true psychedelic masters on stage! We are very happy to welcome Billy together with his guitar.... WIZACK TWIZACK (Namaha Rec. / Stone Age Rec. / Hypnotica Rec.) SWEDEN Wizack Twizack is the wild sonic excursion of Tommy Axelsson, born in 1981 and residing in Sweden. After finding himself scrambling his head to psytrance in the late 90s, Tommy found an output source to his creative mental madness through the tools of knobs and sequencers. Through his journeys, Tommy has further developed his style and defined his sounds, the result of which is fresh and cutting edge psytrance, drenched with powerful acid melodies. Wizack's twisted new style features classic Goa influenced sounds fused with his unique and heavy forest groove. His Live Act will have you adventuring through an audial galaxy, a vast tapestry which has been knitted together by none other than yours truly and taking you onto trips in the darkest hour reflecting the wicked tribal gatherings what has been going on in the swedish forests throughout the years! PLEIADIANS (Dragonfly Rec. / Harmonia Rec. / Etnica Net) ITALY / IBIZA A universal phenomenon landed on planet Earth 10 years ago and left a deep mark in the history of psychedelic trance. The journey began in 1996 when the Pleiadians released their debut album 'Identified Flying Object - IFO' (Dragonfly Records, 1996) which is hailed as a classic among classics; a milestone in early 'Goa' and Psychedelic Trance rarely equaled in production clarity and compositional complexity. Their second album 'Family of Light' was also a worldwide hit featuring the 14-minute symphonic monster 'Modulation' - an epic track that was specifically produced for the Venezuelan Total Eclipse party in 1997. Their last album Seven Sisters (Harmonia Rec. 2006) was again a massive success worldwide and demonstrated that the spirit is still alive. Explosive and emotional interstellar psy-trance simmered in sci-fi flavour for the dancefloor and the mind. KHOPAT (Spectral Rec. / Noize Conspiracy Rec.) PORTUGAL Khopat is Vasco Pedrosa from Portugal. Vasco discovered Psytrance music in 1999 during his quest through electronic music. Since then and based on a previous musical education background he decided to create his own psytrance project. Khopat's music concept relies on a very strong rhythm base mixed with all kind of psychedelic sounds. His music tries to lead the listeners to diverse cosmic environments,always allied with strong dance concept ... in other words , music for mind and body. Khopat is part of spectral records and Noize Conspiracy, his debut album "Bio Chip" wil be released in the end of 2008 by the portuguese Label Spectral Records.

GERMANY Olien, famous for his nighttime Psytrance with releases on Trishula and Triplag Records is still an insider’s tip when it comes to an already long-forgotten musical term, once called Goa Trance. Trip back in time with analogue soundwaves, deep harmonic atmospheres and a lack of digitalism resulting in a very special old school Live Act Olien will provide for the ones willing to listen… ASTRAL GNOMIX (BMSS Rec.) Switzerland Astral Gnomix does not play common-style music, he has his own groove, born from a mixture of various electronic genres and goa, ranging from old-style to modern, inspired by acts like Hallucinogen, Oziric Tentacles, Cosmosis, Pink Floyd and more... He presents a new style at each Live Act, and often brings along many of his original instruments, making each act impressingly particular. Now he spends as much time as possible playing his instruments and composing new groovy stuff. Astral Gnomix is certainly not a common artist he loves psychedelic tunes, and does not follow the common wave... For him psychedelia has no limits. PSYGROUND (BMSS Rec.) Germany Antonello D`Accione , a 29 years old passionate Jazz Piano player from the south german Heidelberg with Italian roots, came in contact with Psychedelic Trance in the year 2003. Since the beginning of 2008, Psyground is the Solo Project of Antonello. For him, all music is universal. His passion for psychedelic Full On Music is just as deep as it is for Blues or Jazz. His music demonstrates us, that this is no Contradiction. Funky psychedelic basslines go together with deeper trance sounds, here and then you hear him play improvised Jazzpiano or even working on classical themes during his LiveAct. His mission is to compose Music for Head and Heart. Your Mission is to be on the Dancefloor. So lets communicate... MIDA (BMSS Rec. / Spontaneous Aerobics Rec.) GERMANY Having his first experiences with Goa in the Mondmilchbar in Zuerich, Mida settled down in Munich in 2001. There he connected immediately with the local scene, resulting in his first records on the Munich based Spontaneous Aerobics Records. His art studies at the University of Zuerich led to a deep understanding of dynamic which you will experience in his live sets: And they are really live: not a simple line of tracks, but a storrytelling live act woven for hours and arranged in realtime! During this Sonic adventures which are unique (you will not hear a set of him for a second time) Mida is not stuck on a certain style, he spins his musicial thoughts from Morning progressive based sound to more powerful Full on like night music full of melodies and magic... +++ LINEUP DJs +++ - KHOPAT (Spectral Rec. / Noize Conspiracy Rec.)

SCHLAFCOLA (VooV Experience, Fusion, Excalibur, Antaris, S.O.M.A., Lovefield) GERMANY Schlafcola's Live Act is kind of special: using an effectboard and their own soundsamples in addition to their mixing of CDs and records. In other words: they "overdub" their set to create a more deep and harmonic sound. Their range of style is very open-minded, consisting of ambient, psy-dub, worldmusic and classical chillout, whereas they are also capable of bringing a nice dancefloor sound! They regularly have gigs at various open-minded parties and festivals throughout Germany and we are very happy to have them as well on board the Fantasia spaceship... +++ Deko Main Floor +++ COSMIC WALKERS (Germany) Cosmicwalkers, a group of deco artists, based in northern Germany already turned the VuuV 2007, Boom 2002/04/06, Fullmoon 2002/03/04/05 and the Ozora next to many other festivals into their vision of Psychedelic Artwork.

The movies will be presented by the directors or producers: FILM # 1: COSM - The Movie CoSM The Movie is a magical new kind of documentary experience, leading audiences on an enriching and sense-heightening journey into the visionary art cosmos of world-renowned painter Alex Grey. Grey is our guide on a cinematic pilgrimage through the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors gallery in New York City, where his vividly rendered depictions of human anatomy and transcendental imagery reflect the universal human experience with birth, death, family, love, and enlightenment as the unfolding iconic narrative. Fusing the power of music with stunning cinematography, director Nick Krasnic channels the raw power of Grey's art into a potent film odyssey that captures the essence of this unique sacred space, and offers rare, personal insight from one of the most significant artists of our time FILM # 2: THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE "The Philosopher's Stone" is a unique doumentary of the international symposium "LSD - Problem child and Wonder Drug" (January 2006 / Basel, Switzerland) on the occasion of Dr. Albert Hofmann's 100th birthday. This documentary in German / English includes lectures presented by Albert Hofmann, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey, Martin A. Lee and many more. These lectures decribe and discuss the complex aspects of LSD. This film is also framed by special visualized concert recordings of the Saturday's night symposium event performed by Akasha Project (sound recording of the LSD25 molecule), Star Sounds Orchestra and Guru Guru. Additional highlights exhibit exclusive interviews with two german artists: Thomas D. (musician) and Wolfgang Maria Ohlhäuser (painter) There will be a large variety of Info stands informing about all relevant Psychedelic topics: ALICE-PROJECT On the traces of ’Alice in Wonderland’ the nonprofit grassroots Alice-Project looks behind the facades of daily realities and creates free spaces. The activities of Alice and the friendly project Connecta are all about ’Music, Mind and Politics’ in the sense of creative forms of expression, critical activism for social change, and last but not least, fun and personal development. One focus of Alice is the circulation of objective information on drugs, especially at parties and in schools. The project tries to establish a conscious relationship towards psychoactive substances, and helps drug-users with problems. Beside other events Alice and Connecta co-organize the international festival ’Gathering of the Tribes’. ’The stars are within reach,’ Alice calls dancing, ’but only if we really want.’ +++ Organizer +++ BMSS BMSS is a very active psytrance tribe from southern Germany hosting parties and festivals for 5 years now.
