sidetrakkt Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 PSYNAESTHESIA Saturday, April 8, 2006 Portland, Oregon A sonic psychedelic journey guided by: NYSTAGMUS - live! (SunDance Records, BooM! Records, U.S.T.A. Records - Mount Elphinstone, B.C.) With over 16 years of formal music training, including audio engineering and instruction on a wide variety of instruments, Matte Gillard has been writing electronic music since 1995, and has been performing live for the past nine years. Nystagmus' debut album, The Immaculate Perception, has been released on SunDance Records, and several of his compositions can be found on compilations from international labels, including BooM! Records and U.S.T.A. Records. Matte's music takes psychedelic trance to a new level, combining complex melodies, hypnotic rhythms, driving beats, with a touch of humor to produce a uniquely hallucinatory experience for minds and dancefloors alike! www.nystagmus.ca PR0TEUS - live! (SunDance Records - Seattle) One of the northwest’s most prolific producers, Fernando Arquines comes from an improvisational jazz background and is known for his ability to translate thought into sound. As well as playing at several festivals this summer, Andy has kept busy with releases on Elektrik Orgasm and SunDance Records, with a debut album scheduled to be released this year. Making his first Portland appearance in almost a year, Andy’s signature funky twisted psytrance will get the dancefloor grooving! www.pr0teus.com Sweet Chaos (Sidetrakkt – Pittsburgh, PA) One of the east coast’s best-kept secrets, Terry’s eclectic range of styles and impeccable mixing has earned him bookings at several festivals and events across Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia. Making his first-ever west coast appearance, his set will explore the inner reaches of your mind and beyond! Manifest (Apollo’s Lute, Soular Records – Portland) Jamey has been very active in the northwest psytrance community as a party organizer, dj, and as a producer as a member of Freaks of Nature. Intense, frenzied, and always psychedelic, Manifest will be our guide as our journey moves into the darkness of the night. Makoi (PsyBooty, Catharsis Crew – Portland) Groovy and richly textured, Makoi’s seamless and intricate mixes always tell a story. Makoi strives to disappear into the mix and maximize the potential of the overlapping tracks. That is, to mix two songs together so seamlessly the dj is forgotten, while simultaneously bringing elements from those songs together in a way that heightens their dramatic frequencies and textures. Mac’s set of funky progressive psytrance will be the perfect beginning of our journey. Electric Mayhem (Sidetrakkt – Portland) Founder of Sidetrakkt, Dan introduced psytrance to Pittsburgh, PA through his dj sets and as an event organizer for five years before relocating to the northwest. Known for his diverse selection of music, his sets are carefully crafted to reflect and enhance both the time of night and the energy on the dancefloor. With his closing morning set, Dan will bring our journey to an end, but also a new beginning… Journey begins at 10 p.m. and ends at 7 a.m. $10 - $15 (sliding scale) at the door. Event will take place at Center Space (420 SE 6th Ave. in Portland) For updated event information: www.sidetrakkt.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
