Bringing the sacred into electronic music scene and futuristic soundscapes of elemental magik and texturized organic soundswaves, Spaceship Earth's productions are one of a kind. Produced by Ashton Robertson, Spaceship Earth features live guitar over-multidimensional, full-spectrum, holographic light-waves crashing with a resonating rhythm, creating a web, a unified field for us all to soak in. Channeling music from higher parallel future timelines and blending them with ancient beats of the past, Ashton concentrates and morphs it all into a imaginarium of what we call the NOW. Grounded in the roots of the Earth, and projecting the stars and nebulas from within, we are hear to wake up the world, and fully realize our already enlightened state. We are love ♥.

Breaking into the world of EDM with a unique message of unconditional love and raised awareness, YogiMagik is an intriguing integration of live instrumentation and electronic dance music produced by Baba McGnarls a.k.a.

Baba uses the experiences of all of his lives; past and future, channeling the wisdom and love from those experiences and firmly grounding them in the present moment with the intention of unlocking this MAGIK for all.

> Neural Patterns, Detroit, MI
www.soundcloud.com/Neural-Patterns
www.facebook.com/NeuralPatternsDeco
After deciding that some things are just better when combined, like a joint in your hand or boobs in your face, Neural Patterns crawled out from his hole and started combining beats. You can catch his ADD-influenced sets everywhere from polka raves, to stuffed animal funerals to midget weddings/divorce parties. Slipping a handful of gummy bears into his pocket during a set just may get your request played. Just make sure you reach down deep and perhaps a little to the left...
> Amoeba, Detroit, MI

www.facebook.com/DjAmoeba
In the summer of 2007, Amoeba was introduced to goa and psytrance and the rest is history. "Electric Mind" was Amoeba a.k.a. Phil Matta's first official release. Although it's referred to as "psytrance", many have come to say that it isn't like anything that they've ever heard. The word "Amoeba" is derived from the Greek, amoibē, which means change. Changing and evolving every day, into a better version of himself and his productions, that's what Amoeba's all about.

It's a call to your soul to remember who you are...
