DJ Shankar Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Shakti Collective is proud to present its next gathering, "Apparatus". Apparatus, a tool to move the universe around and to help restore order on Earth. This gathering is also a celebration of Canada's 138th birthday. For that matter, we are proud to present one of the best Progressive trance acts, Antix. ANTIX (Iboga Records – New Zealand) LIVE! Based in Auckland New Zealand, Barton and Hayden Strom are the producers behind the project ANTIX. The Strom brother’s dedication to pushing their style in new directions in the ever evolving Progressive Trance genre has made them one of the emerging acts to watch for in their scene. Both Barton and Hayden were introduced to music at a young age listening, to music from their parent’s vast record collections. They quickly became addicted to the hypnotic sounds of Trance in '95 when a friend handed them a tape urging them to check it out. Barton instantly purchased a mixer and started DJ'ing at small parties in the growing Auckland scene. Six months later he had moved to Japan to buy studio equipment and teach himself the art of production, and Hayden later joined him. Together they returned to New Zealand, setting up various studios around Auckland and refining a sound, which really came together once they moved to the West Coast of the North Island and set up Slow Burning Studios in '99. The sound that seemed to evolve was a kind of minimal organic groove influenced by the European sound being played by DJ PHILIPP from Plastik Park and ANTI from Spiral Trax. It wasn't long before a connection was made when Philipp toured Australia and New Zealand in 2000, and ANTIX were signed for their first 12", "Rainstick," on Plastik Park. Over the years the two have managed to put a few of the "big ones" under their belts, playing the U-Site Fusion Festival in Germany, The Boom in Portugal, and The Rainbow Serpent in Australia. And now three years down the line, ANTIX completed their long awaited debut album "Lull" released on the Danish label Iboga Records. The duo are currently touring the globe for the third year, they are only half way to completing this tour, but so far its been a huge success, playing parties in Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Japan, the Voov Festival 2003 in Germany and then in London, where they played alongside other respected kiwi artists for the annual New Zealand music night at club Fabric. And now to continue the tour ANTIX will play in Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Austria and then to finish in France. On top of this they’ve also been involved in Auckland label Manta. The label has just released its second 12" and third compilation "Subduction" featuring a excellent selection of New Zealand and international, Progressive/Psy-Trance which are all available from Cyberculture Records at (www.cyberculture.co.nz). So at last... Here comes the second full length album from ANTIX - "Twin Cost Discovery." Since their first album - "Lull" - released on Iboga Records in June 2003, ANTIX had major success with their very groovy and unique style. They have been playing their live set at a great number of events and have made a very good name for themselves in the scene. Now two years later, Iboga Records is proud to be releasing another well produced album. From start to end the Strom brothers take you on a journey deep into their soundscapes. You can truly tell that ANTIX has spent many hours making this album come true, and once again they surprise with their style, going in a new direction.

DJ Shankar Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 After much consideration, we have decided to drop the cover price to $20. So now, the cover is $20 instead of $25. We have also added another act to the line up: Bush Telegraph (BLA) consists of Toronto's Brett Howes (DJ Sketi) and Dj Suckerpunch. Together the two DJs have been producing music for over 2 years. Their style is busy full-on progressive with organic overtones and driving basslines finished with a good dose of psychedelia. They will play a special DJ set at this event!
