Alternative Control

Alternative Control (Serbie)

Alternative control (ex Chromatoner) are Toprek Goran a.k.a. Toca and Rastko Palikuca both from Serbia. Toca has been producing music since 1997 and from 1999 he started a project called "Manifest" with a friend. This was a dark, groovy Psy-Trance project that became the first Serbian project with a high level of production. Rastko joined Toprek in producing music when he was only 18 years old, so for him it was a first experience in the electronic trance scene and after one year of hard work and a lot sweat in the studio, Rastko and Toca decided to make a new project called “Chromatoner”. This came as a big surprise for their fellow countryman due to the high level of sophistication of their music. Adding Toprek's experience to Rastko organized and methodic skills the project emerged as being totally different from “Manifest” moving rapidly into a morning groovy sound with full-on tunes inspired by the likes of Silicon Sound, Protoculture and GMS. They started to grow very fast musically. During the promotion tour for “Chromatoner” in their country they played at a party with Nomad and some other big parties in several Serbian cities attracting attention from overseas labels. Their music being so fresh an innovative they managed to sell their first tracks to labels like Phonokol ,and Inpsyde media. Upon realizing that a similar act called “Chromaotne” (Lawrence) was already on the market and had released tracks before them they decided to change their name into" Alternative Control" continuing to produce morning psy-trance, with colorful baselines and spacious melodies. VERY EMOTIONAL After having released their first tracks on Phonokol Records, Inpsyde Media, Pukka Musica, Sphere Records, Soular Records and having had a few collaborations projects with already well known artist from the scene like Bizarre Contact, Pop Stream and Cyrus the Virus, their first album "ALT+CTRL"as just been be released on VISION QUEST RECORDS.

Mael became here quickly one of the good names of the “Parisian” scene. Bringing his personality with a special technique of mixing Psytrance Vinyls, when DAT tapes were the only way to communicate this music…

After this relation with the dancefloor Mael investigate himself into the music production to finalize a dream: create his own music!

In 1996 , Mael created a band with Lestat aka Talamasca and christof drouillet , who was the half of the well known band Transwave , and who was just beginning his solo project called Absolum, to make together this incredible full on music under the name of 'Elixir'.

They decided together in 1998 to create a French label: 3D Vision arrived on the scene, and have been quickly respected all over the world , bringing Mael to play dj sets for the 3d vision in every possible corner of the globe like Tokyo, Newyork, TelAviv, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, India, and all Europe...

"Nomad", Mael's solo project, appears in 1998. 2 albums: 'Hyperactive' which was released in October 2001, and second: 'Mad attack' two years later in October 2003, both on the 3d vision label (plus a full discography in many compilations.)

After those two albums , Mael had left in 2004,the trance scene, to make an other label called Hoots records ; label more orientated in a lounge atmospheric music , with a fusion between electronic and acoustic instruments, but also much more various style like House, Trip-Hop,....the first release of this label , 'Electronic Summer in Corsica' , including his own production under the name "Nomadbrothers" , in collaboration with a panel of talented acoustic musicians, that is perfect for his personal style. This project is an opportunity for him to express an other side from himself to music ( to follow ...),

But in 2004, after 6 years in collaboration with 3d vision, 5 years under the name Nomad, and djing for 13 years all over the world, Mael take place with a different color of music, more positive and more groovy stuff, a Mix between his DJ Experience and his Musical Influences.

Talamasca

Talamasca - France

TALAMASCA is a solo project from Cedric Dassulle , a French dj who began to play in Paris in psytrance parties around 1992. The psytrance scene is not as powerful in France as it is in some other parts of the world where it is the mainstream music, like Brazil, Japan, or Israel.

That's why Talamasca, also known as dj Lestat, began in 1994 to travel around the world more than he played in his own country.

In 1996, he decided to make his own project, under the name of talamasca, and first released on an Israeli label called "krembo records". With the big success of his music, Talamasca was suddenly playing much more live acts than dj sets, and began to be considered as one of the leaders of the international trance scene. He decided to create in 1998 his own label called 3D Vision, which became quickly one of the leading labels of this style of music.

Nowadays, Talamasca is one of the most requested live acts in all big festivals such as full-moon festival, Samothraki or the boom festival in Europe, Eclipse, the biggest electronic festival of Canada, in the Chemical sound festival in Rio, in the Goa sound festival in Mexico, in summer arcade Fuji festival in Japan, and of course many more.

Talamasca has just opened in 2004 his new label, called "mind control records", based in Paris, and is now working on his 5th album, expected for December 2005.

Wizzy Noise

Micky Noise started making music since he was 14. His first music influences were from the breakbeat and electro music genres. At 1994 he started making his first 20minutes live shows to different trance parties in Athens and in 1995 he founded Psycho Meditation.Micky as a restless spirit is burning with a continuous flame to make one's job better. At 1998 Micky founds himself in Thessaloniki where he met Uriel and immediately the two partners "clicked" together and decided to make something really good about the music they both loved. Thus Wizzy Noise sprang to life. Currently Micky studies the psychoacoustic impact of music to the human psyche and influences include Electro and industrial music.

Uriel is tumultuous like the sea and shining like the sun drenching a Greek island's coast. Many things can be said about this problematic yet shining individual whose greatest pleasure in life is music auditioning through high end (and probably quite expensive *sigh*) studio monitor speakers and the endless quest to do one's job better. Uriel after putting aside a career as a computer programmer and system's analyst he decided to follow something more suitable to his boemic and artistic nature like trance music creation and production.Having passed from Metal to Industrial music genres and after listening to several albums and compilations back in the good old days as we might say of 1995 he finally found the exact kind of feeling in music that he was looking for.

Wizzy Noise explain: "We felt as if we were in some sort of open university thing ! There were no fixed classes, no fixed schedule of work, not even some sort of lab to work in. Through the passage of music study, research and production work we were finally able to achieve a certain level of confidence with our gear and music production techniques, now after 5 years we feel a certain level of confidence about our work".Wizzy Noise music is defined as "refined underground electronica", a parallel branch of trance music which continually evolves and blends many different kinds of underground styles of music. This is done always with a sense of brooding mystery, the so called "wizzy feeling".Indeed modern trance music should be characterized not only the trip to one's individual nirvana or unique elevated state of consciousness, but also a trip to your esoteric world the nether realms, for one must understand the darkness...

Infected Mushroom

Infected Mushroom est un projet musical israélien de trance psychédélique, fondé en 1996 par Amit Duvdevani (Duvdev) et Erez Aizen (Erez). Avant de se rencontrer, tous deux pratiquaient déjà la musique depuis leur enfance, en particulier le piano. Le nom du projet (qui signifie littéralement Champignon infecté) est tiré d'un des groupes de punk rock dans lesquels Duvdev a joué et composé.

Le premier album du groupe, The Gathering, est vite devenu un classique dans le genre. Infected Mushroom a ensuite réalisé d'autres albums qui ont remporté un succès croissant auprès du public, ce qui fait du duo israélien un des plus grands groupes de Psytrance. Ce succès est probablement dû en grande partie à l'accessibilité, mais surtout à l'éclectisme dont fait preuve le groupe, notamment dans l'album Classical Mushroom, sorti en 2000, où figurent des titres mêlant sonorités trance et instruments classiques (guitare, piano...). La richesse mélodique du duo est régulièrement acclamée mais c'est surtout l'extraordinaire versatilité sonore du groupe, la qualité et l'originalité des sons utilisés dans leurs compositions qui leur confère un statut particulier chez certains fans.

Parallèlement à ses créations, le groupe est en représentation permanente dans de nombreux pays à travers le monde, principalement en Israël, qui est leur pays d'origine, mais aussi dans les pays où la trance psychédélique est relativement populaire, comme au Brésil, aux États-Unis, ou en Allemagne.

En 2004, le groupe quitte la banlieue de Tel Aviv pour s'installer à Los Angeles, afin de se rapprocher de son plus gros public (en Amérique du Sud et en Amérique du Nord), et pour réaliser un nouvel album dans un studio plus performant. Ce voyage sera le début d'une évolution jugée importante par le groupe, avec notamment l'intégration d'un nouveau membre Erez Netz véritable guitar-héro en Israël, et présentateur d'une émission consacrée à l'apprentissage de la guitare sur la télévision Israélienne.

Le 1^er avril 2006 lors d'un concert à Londres, le duo a présenté certains titres de leur prochain opus, nommé Vicious Delicious en référence au titre phare de l'album. L'album est prévu pour le début de l'année 2007.
