Audio Psykosis
Audio Psykosis is solo project of Rishi from India. Born on the 11th of October 1987, Rishi grew up surrounded by musicians in his family. One night at the age of 15 he found himself in Goa and learnt about the deeper, darker and harder frequencies of the Earth. He started experimenting with music software the very next day. At the age of 17 after realising the software could re-create what he’d heard, Rishi started writing psytrance as Audio Psykosis. His intention is to help people find answers they’re looking for, through thoughts induced by his sound. His inspiration comes from the deep corners of the forests and the experience of living. More recently Rishi has been writing slower music for chillout spaces under the name Agama.
Ganeshaa
Ganeshaa is a solo project by Ankit Lall from India. He has been producing, playing and journeying with electronica for the past 4 years and finds himself drawn to his roots in Indian classical music. As a result, he has spent time working with several musicians especially those with Afro-Cuban and Jazz backgrounds. The Ganeshaa project is inspired by the sounds of the world whilst on the search for harmonic balance between electronica and the classical definition of music. The sound is best described as an ever changing state of soundscapes, melodies and rhythms.
Ankit’s electronic persona has a strong affinity to Goatrance, Psy-ambient, Progressive House and Lounge. He has played as a DJ at various clubs, outdoor parties and festivals and is working on his own live-set and album for liquidfrequency. Ankit is also a bamboo flautist, an instrument maker, a professional audio engineer and is designing and building his own studio, ‘Aural Vision’ in Kolkata.
Liquidnoize
Liquid = Abstract.
Noize = Loud uncontrolled sonic frequencies
Vinay Menon A.K.A LiquidNoize born in 1975 in Bombay, started his romance with music at an early age screaming for a rock band for seven years. Goa, 1991: after their gig Vinay and his band mates were taken to the famous disco valley… by a cabbie.
“Virgin to the concept till then; it was here that he had his first psychedelic sunrise and heard music which was alien.”
After years of dancing to the music, understanding structures and going through the various changes in the sound, he decided to create and program his own ideas into Bytes. Today he works out of Israel and is producing and playing under the project name LiquidNoize and a new project ‘Fiber Mutants’ with a close friend Aviel A.K.A AVL. also producing ambient, world, lounge, acid jazz and psy funk.
“Trance a state of mind. Dance is active meditation. The music, the catalyst, forever unpredictable, forever changing… providing a soundscape to travel at high speeds with your eyes closed.”
Adi
Adi is the imagination of Aditya Arora of New Delhi. His explorations with sound exploded with cutting edge releases on several globally distributed labels as Adi/Violent. With sounds covering both the night and day of psychedelic music, Adi pushed further into other genres, integrating Electro and Progressive moods with his own. His current repertoire spans the gamut of the BPM scale with club friendly electro-psychedelic dance music and glitch-breaks while still playing with harder and freakier sounds as was with his latest remix for Japanese producer Far East Ghost.

Spiral
Spiral was born on 15th march 1987 and by the age of 15 he heard psytrance for the first time, listening to Goa/Dark psy artists such as Droidlock, Psyside, Paps, Droidsect and Navajo. A year later he started his experiments on Fruity Loops and created 3 amateur albums (unreleased) in the following years. It wasn’t until 2005 that he joined Temple Twister Records (India) and stirred up massive destruction in his hometown – Bombay. Now working with high vicious BPMs, high pitched frequencies, phat liquid organic leads and atmospheres, his music can be described best as dark mechanical dance-floor chaos!
“BLAST UR BRAINS!!!!!”
Spirals side projects : Freak Volume Warriors (vs TerraTech), gibrALTER ( Solo project focusing on deeper darker journeys) and Piimpachinka (vs cach (tgb))
Allegoric-Psynce
Arpit Paliwal a.k.a Allegoric-Psynce was born on 12/12/1986 in Jaipur, India. He was introduced to electronic music at early age of 15 and fell in love at once with the mind wobbling sounds. Being introduced to the magical world of psychedelics in Goa changed the perception of music and life for him. He did some learning from SAE, Mumbai about electronic music for his audio engineering diploma and has been experimenting with new sounds and fresh methods to make psychedelic music.
Aghori TantriK
Aghori TanTriK is a dark psytrance project of Sid. Sid gives an open minded psychedelic sound experience about the life of being an Aghori Tantrik. Aghori Tantriks are holy men from India who believe in liberation from the illusion of this existence by embracing the dark side just as much as the positive side of society. They worship Kali (the goddess of destruction), drink from human skulls and engage in ancient tribal rituals which would appear as a big taboo and totally unthinkable in today’s society.
This music project is famous for its powerful driving bass-lines, atmospheres which throw you into surreal worlds and beautifully crafted dark tunes which guide your consciousness through madness, excitement, aggression and craziness.
Hydropanic
Hydropanic is a duo project driven by brothers Rishabh & Pratik of India. Created from heavy psychedelic musical experiences, this project brings together the sound of the earth, wild human nature and a vision of another space. Layered with organic effects, Hydropanic sets you tunneling through your mind and to a time where nature rules over the realm of man.
Bloodclot
Blood Clot is Nader Balooch from Mumbai, India. Having grown up listening to different genres of trance and finally evolving to psychedelic trance, he began the learning process of making psy sounds in 2005. With the help of a lot of friends online from different countries he steadily began writing psy trance and is exploring it as a hobby. Most of his inspiration relies on old school tracks and collaborating with others to keep himself in the learning process.
Ouroboros
Ouroboros is a project created by Ritesh from New Delhi to explore electronica in all its psychedelic colours. His work uses a medium of glitch and melodic lines to create surrealist soundscapes and bizzare psychedelic experiences. Together with Adi they form the first and next generation of Indian psytrance producers fusing chop-shop psytrance ideology with the aesthetics of electo-pop, funk, and Japanese space-cab music.
Analog Biscuit
Analog Biscuit is the forest psytrance project of Vinay Daswani from Kolkata. India. Vinay tuned into the sonic evolution of various electronic music genres
/sub-genres such as psytrance, ambient and progressive house in 2005, and has been sailing and swirling along the same groovy frequency ever since.
His project Analog Biscuit is deeply inspired by the various sounds of nature, the forest, the wind, and how they come together in perfect harmony to create rhythm and groove. This inspiration, coupled with strong music knowledge and the use of electronic equipment led to the birth of this avatar in the year 2009. Although Vinay started producing music in 2009, his DJ sets had been stirring dance floors across India since 2007. His sets contain deep atmospheres, psychedelic leads and multi-layered sonic patterns, weaved together with solid grooves that send the listener into a power-packed psychedelic frenzy and transforms the dance floor into ritualistic tribal zone.
