Jul 02 - Jul 04, 2010 Shaman Tales: Aqua


Recommended Posts

Organic Family, Shakti Collective and Neuromantix welcome all to Shaman Tales: Aqua, the first of four festivals to happen annually as we carry forth into the unknown. Nestled within the magical lands along the coast of Lake Huron of the Aboriginal tribes, this great event will try to bring about a convergence between the ancient ways of the indigenous and the present day electronic culture by integrating various forms of healing, workshops, performances, visual delicacies, music and of course dance to take us deep into our very own beings in order to allow transformation. Powerful sound and shamanic rhythms will take us into the timeless journey and bring us closer to that which bonds all: the earthly with the cosmic, the physical with the spiritual, the mind with the beyond, from darkness to light.

 

Line Up:

 

ENCEPHALOPATICYS - Parvati Records, Macedonia- Live

Encephalopaticys is the project of Vasko Velickovski. The name of the project sound mysterious, but that is how his music really is. He started Djing in 2001and after few years and more time spent with psychedelic music, he started to experiment with the psychedelic sounds.

The project Encephalopaticys is born 2003. It’s hard to find the right words to describe his music, some will say it’s powerful night trance, I’ll say its sound that came from one identity of one person, one mind - simply Encephalopaticys. In this project Vasko works on very powerful dark sound, with deep bass line, followed by psychedelic sounds and forest atmospheres, inspired by the high hills and surrounding spirits. "If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.”

 

PARUS - Auraquake Records, USA- Live *

This music project of twin brothers Valentin and Mark Tarasov was born in the summer of 2000. Parus has performed on numerous stages, including 2005 performances at the Burning Man Festival and the annual Love Parade in San Francisco. Also most recently Boom Festival 2008 Portugal.

 

SOUTHWILD/RASTALIENS - Pharsyde, Toronto- live

Jay is an electronic music producer from the south (wild) Black-Forest in Germany. Together with his friend Ralph (Braincell/Solar Spectrum) started the psychedelic trance project Rastaliens more than 10 years ago. Over the years of playing in clubs and festivals worldwide, Rastaliens became well known by many people for psytrance with a funny unique style. Southwild is the new project from Jay which could be named as a kind of funky morning psy, but generally you will not be able to put it in a "style" box. It's music to have fun and make the body shake.

 

EKOPLEX - Ektoplazm, Toronto- Live

Ekoplex is Ray Vincent, a multifaceted psychedelic trance producer from Toronto, Canada. With an arsenal of heavy rolling beats for the dead of night, ethereal offerings for sunrise, and slower grooves for afternoon or early evening, Ekoplex is comfortable performing at any time.

Ekoplex has been thrilling dance floors across North America for more than half a decade, playing at many major festivals and indoor events.

 

COSMIC ORGASM - Psykonexus, Montreal - Live

From dark full on to pure psy-trance, their music is like rolling thunder on a vast and endless space field.
