Shakti's BIRTHDAY bash with SENSIENT (Australia)


DJ Shankar

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately due to family tragedy, Tim (Sensient) will not be able to play at our event on September 24th. Tim had to fly back to Australia and had canceled all of his parties for the next month. Our condolences to him and his family. However, Sensient will be coming to Toronto in the end of November, so prepare.

 

Meanwhile, Shakti Collective have decided that the show must go on. Thus we are bringing another live act!

 

 

 

 

Here's how our updated line-up looks:

 

VIBRASPHERE (Digital Structures, Sweden) - LIVE

 

Vibrasphere are Rickard Berglöf and Robert Elster from Uppsala - Sweden, whose paths in connection with the trance scene go some way back in time. In 1995 Rickard started recording with fellow Swede Fredrik Axelsson as Subcouds and the release of four singles, appearances on several goa trance compilations and playing live gigs over the following years made them a reputed name on the scene. Around the same time in the same city, Robert was taking his first steps in production with inspiration from trance music and help from the home studio equipment available, an Amiga computer. So it happened that Rickard's younger cousin was a good friend of Robert and through him they hooked up and started to exchange music and ideas.

 

In the summer of 1998, Rickard and Robert finally decided to enter the studio together to produce some music. This gave birth to the very first Vibrasphere tracks and the most well known of these is definitely 'The Open Sphere' which, even now over 4 years old, captures the essence of the Vibrasphere sound with it's dub influenced soundscape and rich trance groove.

 

With great feedback and big appreciation from djs and audience worldwide they decided to take the Vibrasphere project to the next level and went on to start producing their first full-length album. In December 2000 'Echo' was released on Swedish label Spiral Trax and was an instant success. Many of the tracks were licensed to various compilations and the down tempo track 'San Pedro' even caught the ears of British producer Talvin Singh who included it in his mix for the 'Back to Mine' series. An extensive touring schedule followed the release and the Vibrasphere live show was performed in countries like Australia, England, France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Mexico and the United States.

 

Throughout the past two years the development and progression of the Vibrasphere sound has been released on labels like Acid Casualties, Digital Structures, Dragonfly, Plastic Park, Spiral Tax, Transient and appreciated by a worldwide audience. Rickard and Robert's desire to unite the deepness of dub with the energy of trance was the catalyst that originally formed the project and whatever progressions to come, this will still continue to be the guiding star of Vibrasphere.

Rickard will play Vibrasphere's new album material which is due to be out in October!!!
