Solar Quest

Solar Quest is a one-man ambient and acid trance music project founded in 1993 by George Saunders and its aim is to combine renewable solar energy with electronic music. Solar Quest was founded when Saunders got interested in acid house in the beginning of the 1990's. In 1993 and 1994 he had as much as nine releases, of which two were full length albums (the other under alias Entropica). The track Acid Air Raid, released in 1993, is one of the classics of acid techno and next year's dreamy Orgship is a significant release in ambient music.

Chronos

There are at least 5 Chronos out there: 1. Dj Shankar (Chronos Project) aka Nick Klimenko from Russia was only 20 years old when discovered by Sunline Records. His musical background and love for Nature immediately made them soul mates and an agreement to release "Steps to the Great Knowledge" was born a few days after.
Nick was definitely inspired by Mayan culture and used several oriental music instruments to make this album.

Emancipator

To some, it must seem like this young electronic producer came out of nowhere. Emancipator (Douglas Appling) played his first live show in July 2009, opening for Bonobo at the Roseland Theater (cap. 1500). Since then, he’s toured with Bassnectar, drawn crowds at festivals like Trinumeral and Symbiosis, and closed out Sound Tribe Sector 9’s late night parties in Denver at the request of the band.

Brujo's Bowl

The project, 'Brujo's Bowl'. Is the alias of Saxon Higgs. A young talented musician and producer from mid Wales (UK). Saxon started out by playing about with various instruments when he was a teenager, playing in bands and organising jam sessions in the depths of the wild welsh countryside.
On the verge of leaving secondary school, Saxon and a few of his friends became heavily interested in electronic music. This was when dubstep had just hit the dancefloors, and still had it's unique non-commercial sound. Producers such as 2562 had a large impact on Saxon's ears.

Stryder

"We are STRYDER and we are from outer space! We have been set on a path to blow peoples minds with psychedelic rock and roll!"

This gave birth to the rich, moist, colourful sounds of psychedelic rock and roll which the band create. With the release of their new ep 'Kaleidoscope', their music has become an aphrodisiac to music lovers of the world.

Hoopy Frood

Musically, Hoopy Frood is the result of a range of influences. It is not for the makers to decide on the style they simply serve the music and it makes itself, so they can only quote "Pink Floyd crossed with Shpongle", "kind of like trippy folk music", "a unique multidimensional blend of psychedelic-folk and groovy-electro" and our favourite quote "we suspect the work of hippies". The original ideas and concepts start with Rich Walgate and Steve Varman who have been working on Floyd/Zep style projects...
