Emok Country Denmark Mikael Dahlgaard, 1/2 of Iboga Records, started his DJ Carier in the last century, playing sets of psychedelic trance and organizing small underground parties around Copenhagen. Emok plays sets varying from minimal techno to more fullon progressive psychedelic trance. In 1997 he and DJ Banel from Copenhagen thought up the idea of a Scandinavian record label; this resulted in the first Danish trance compilation "Tabernanthe" on the new label Iboga Records. Emok started producing electronic music himself and today he works in the fully equiped Iboga studio on the projects Phony Orphants and Fabel. He is also involved in several side project like Spy Vs Spy toghether with Tj Llopis and other artists from around aswell as his own solo project Emok. Parrket Country Croatia Mladen Glavinic from Zagreb formal his project in 2001. Since that, he has played his live acts at many underground parties Balkan. The style is mostly dark/brutal proggy psy trance, but also deep progressive & full-on stuff. His futures lies in both darkes realms of trance and the beautiful progressive soundscapes. POTS Country Germany Thomas Wilhelmy and Achim Luthje met by chance in the late 90's in studio in Cologne, Germany. They were pretty quick sure about they had found each other's sonic mirror. This blissful fusion has set the base fot their projects called POTS. The music they created was a dark and trancy mixture of infinite and fast baselines under the attack of cruel tones. Their moody sound soon attracted the eyes and ears of Sunset label on which POTS had their first release in 2000. From then on, they turned their leitmotiv of what they call scientific darkness into a worldwide success. POTS has toured the United States, the EU, and even South America. A huge number of very sccessful releases followed on labels such as Flow Records, Spiral Trax, Iboga, Manta and Plastik Park. Meller Country Germany Meller live aka Marco Scherer and Dj Mel is a fusion of different electronic projects that reach from deeply atmospheric trance music to hard full-on sound with target progressive psytrance. The main projects of this fusion are The Unicorn, Raum und K鋖te and - of course - Meller itself. Meller does not follow the typical standards of eletronic music but reflects the prefered styles of its producers in a mixture without frontiers or puristic boundaries. This open-minded thinking guarantees much alternation and surprises. The Meller liveset is programmed strictly for the dancefloor and holds numeric psychedelic elements for brain stimulation. Human Blue Country Sweden Dag Wallin is a classicaly schooled musician who started to play the piano in very young age. He was one of the first artists of the legendary Swedish label Spiral Trax where his debut single was released in 1997. So far he has released three albums and many tracks on various compilations. He is without any doubt one of the most respected artists on the current psytrance scene. Echotek Country Israel Echotek is Micha Yossef, born in 1975 in Israel. Micha started making music 10 years ago in a gothic rock band, where he was producing an album with his band called "Substance for God" which was released in 93' through BNE Records Israel world wide. A little further after the release of their debut album the band stopped working and everyone parted in their own way, since then Micha started to get into the trance scene ands logically he fell into the evolving world of Dj's and music producers that was only in its first stages in the early 90's. After performing as a DJ for 8 years, Micha's next move was getting familiar with music production, his musical knowledge as experienced guitarist as well as performances as DJ everywhere simply pushed him to produce his own sounds, his wish to affect the dance floor with his own music is what actually gave birth to "Echotek". Until 2001, Micha was mainly perfecting his production skills and learning as much as he can, he produced few Tech-Trance tunes for his sets and since then the road to music has become unlimited for him. Micha achieved a good sense of taste and quality in his music, getting plenty of attention and demand from highly acclaimed labels mainly because of him being a bit different than the regular full on formula. His releases in the past few years can be found on labels such as Spirit Zone, Iboga, Spiral Trax, BNE/YoYo, Shiva Space Technology, Phonokol, Spectrum Music, Flow Records, Ajuca, Tatsu Records to name but only a few. Micha has also been producing two successful side projects apart from the Echotek mainline of activity. One project is "Neo Logic" (with Safi Connection) which was signed earlier this year to the Greek label 'Candy Flip', the most recent one is "Reflex", another storming psytrance release on the Israeli label "Avatar Records". His debut "Echotek" album titled "Application Rate" was released under "Flow Records" Portugal in May 2003, these days Micha completes the final touches of his anticipated second "Echotek" album..
