Coming from a very musical family, Wouter has always been curious about new sounds. He started DJing various forms of electronic music in 1994 and took up music production in 2002, seeing rapid success with releases on such cutting-edge labels as Neurobiotic, Mindfunk, Proton, Sphere/Ajuca, Sirius and Beats & Pieces! His interest in the groovier side of the trance spectrum has also seen his works noticed by the progressive crew at Iboga with "Ground Control" released on the "Set:4" compilation, and several others since then including collaborations and remixes with the likes of Perfect Stranger, Ace Ventura and Behind Blue Eyes. Wouter is hot property at the moment, having received rave reviews from live performances at festivals including Portugal's Boom, the UK's Glade, 3rd Empire in Israel, Italy's Sonica, Brasil's Tribe and Universo Parrallelo, as well as the Rainbow Gathering and Rainbow Serpent Festival 2010 among countless other parties around the world!~) Released in 2008 on Neurobiotic Records, his much anticipated solo Holy Cities album was very well received, and his new material is consistently brilliant...

Dwayne's involvement in DJing and organizing outdoor events began in 2002 after being inspired by Cairns' notorious underground scene and the greater Australian outdoor festival circuit. Now based in Melbourne, he is focused on his own production as well as DJing. With a wide-spread reputation for being fully committed to his music, 2006 saw him welcomed into the Israeli based Dooflex Records family as their Australian label DJ. Over the years Dwayne has performed alongside many local legends, as well as international artists including Freakulizer, E-Jekt, U-Recken, Nitro, Hallucinogen, Entropy, Eduardo, Triptich, Antix, Infected Mushroom, Beat Bizzare and stacks more. Week after week Dwayne delivers quality full-on morning psy/progressive psytrance to Australian dancefloors, including his recent intensely tribal dawn set at Rainbow Serpent Festival 2010! ~ PARAFORM (HIGHLY EVOLVED RECORDS / SILENT PARTNER) LIVE ~ Paraform is Martin Roast, a psytrance producer and DJ based in Melbourne, Australia. He began producing beats for Hip Hop acts at age 16 using a turntable, a tascam recorder, a Commodore Amiga and a sampler, and an interest in other electronic genres ensued. With a background in electronic music production dating back two decades, Martin started producing psytrance in 2003 and began playing out live in 2005 as half of the duo known as Dream Katcher. In 2007 he started work on Paraform, his solo act. Martin does not make music that sounds like other psytrance. He has settled into the genre well while maintaining a high level of originality, utilising innovative new sounds. He has written psy ranging from morning full-on tracks, to full-on uplifting night music, and is currently moving more towards darker high-tech tunes whille maintaining a fun and uplifting atmosphere!

He began on turntables but after realizing his crate contained 90% psytrance it was time to move over to a digital format. His first gigs saw him playing as a resident at 3D nightclub for 4 years at the Psychotic Episode psytrance nights and at Kryal Castle. But with the decline of the rave scene it was time to move on... In April 2007 with some long term friends he helped found the outdoor doof party, Fool Proof. This is where all his energies are devoted these days, and in 2009 he coordinated the tour of legendary psy producer Headroom. A Pakman set is always based on the time and place, and Patty prides himself on his versatility. He believes that trance should be fun, intelligent and most importantly danceable, and this is reflected in his track selection.

After collecting trance and performing for several years, he has formed his sound which he describes as Neo-Synthetic Psy from around the world, focusing on the peak power of mechanical full-on and the groovy side of melodic early morning tunes.
