Exclucive Artist
Salil Bhatt(India)
Salil Bhatt the Mohan Veena virtuoso and son of the legendary musician Grammy Award Winner' Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, has created a new Veena which he has named as the SATVIK VEENA to meet the requirements of depth, richness and continuity in his dynamic style of rendering the classical ragas.
This new Veena named Satvik Veena is made of a 100-year-old oak wood block, its top made of pinewood to let the sound filter and resonate. Two f - shaped sound holes to provide the easy emergence of sound. The Fret board is made of rosewood.
The instrument has nineteen strings in all, including three for main melody, five for drone and twelve sympathetic strings. The very specially created wooden tuner keys are mounted on the extended piece of the fret board; these keys are placed on tuning machines that are concealed. The position of the keys at the head, standing upright, break the traditional mould of horizontally placed keys. The head of the new Veena is shaped like a crescent and rises above the plane of the body. Just beneath the head is placed the toomba (gourd), which is attached to provide base and a better grip when the instrument is played on lap.
Salil has been giving solo concerts for more than 25 years and has performed all over the country as well as abroad in CANADA, USA, UK, UAE, Europe etc. Salil represents the tenth generation of the famous Bhatt lineage of classical music artists.

JIKOOHA
Jikooha is a Japanese word, which means "the wave of time and space".
Tokyo-based trance band Jikooha comprises of two Japanese, Jun and Shimodi, who played in a new wave influenced alternative rock band in early '90s. In 1996, they found “Goa Trance” that led them to form Jikooha in 1997 and started to produce their own trance tracks.
While remained committed to their unique mixture of Goa Trance and Punk Rock influence, Jikooha's eclectic and unique sound shows their love of all music. They use many analog gears like Arp Odyssey, TB-303, SH-101, Korg MS-20, etc. and sometimes they are experimental when making their unique trance tunes; the process they believe is their search for spiritual journey.
Jikooha has been playing their gigs at many parties from 1999 and has released many tracks for various compilations with much good feedbacks.
Here is the album discography below;
”New Breed” (Tod Aquarium Rec. - 2003)
”Shamanarchy” （Panorama Rec. - 2006）
”Revolution Spaceship” （Panorama Rec. - 2008）
”Sirius Rising” (Panorama Rec. - 2012)
And then this year 2017 has come at last as their 20th anniversary and they will be releasing their brand new album in early summer!! Stay tuned!!

☆打弦楽器サントゥール
サントゥールはインドの百弦琴。
その起源は、古代インドの聖典リグ・ヴェーダの時代に遡ります。
同様の楽器は世界中にあり、中国ではヤンチン、ヨーロッパではダルシマー等です。クルミの木で作られた先の曲がった２本のバチで演奏され、その様々な音色効果はピアノやハープを思い出させます。現代の巨匠、シヴ・クマール・シャルマが北インド古典音楽界にサントゥールを導入し、より広範囲な表現力を持つようになりました。

GO
Devoted to Punk Rock and Hard-core from the early teenage and started band activity as a drummer and a guitarist.The encounter with Dance Music changed his musicality dramatically.
Then got a massive shock when he first experienced Psychedelic Trance and impressed by its culture. Started DJ in GOA in 2005. Changed his DJ style from Psy Trance to Dark Psychedelic and to Suomi Trance since he came to know the power of Suomi Trance.
Played in underground psychedelic parties around India, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia and Japan, making audience dancing and tripping. After playing different style of Trance music, his style became borderless, based on Suomi trance mixed with Dark and Forest trance.
His groovy bass-line and psychedelic overtone makes floor enthusiasm. Producing tracks by the name of VIISI and latest release was in 2nd compilation from RIKKA SAUNDI "HaTTi VaTTi 2".

Seiji Animaminimal
At the beginning of 90s, Seiji started to collect records of Noise and avantgarde all over the world, besides haunting live music clubs of Japanese underground avantgarde scene.
After attending the Millennium count down rave party at okinawa, he began to devote himself to the psychedelic side of electric dance music awfully. Then he became the Freak Out chill DJ of Global Dat Mafia and shined at playing weirdly brain dissolving and reconstructing set upon the psychedelically tuned in dancers.
He have played since the first Dance of Shiva on various moments of the party to create the upstream across the universe. Jai, Guru, Deva, OM.
There's no other word for his play style but "Totally psycedelic as fuck" and he always rocks the heads on the dance floor. Especially when playing Suomi Soundi, he drops outstanding and brain twisting killer tunes to the world and respected as the king of HENTAI among the successors of God SHARAKU.
It's show time!! Give me another drop or two!!

電子音楽の世界にどっぷりとハマった80～90年代に、音源コレクターとしてネットや旅をしながらの音源収集に没頭。収集ジャンルはテクノ、ハウス、トランス、ゴア、チルアウト、エレクトロニカなど様々。2001年～2008年に六次元音に所属し、日本におけるスオミトランスの普及に携わりながら、シークレットGOA TRANCEパー ティー「忘我」､ジャンルレスのアングラトランスパーティー 「Pervertti」などを仕掛ける。
またインド音楽フェス「DANCE OF SHIVA」には2008年の一回目から参加し、陰ながら携わっている。さらに2012年からオールドゴアに特化した「Mandalavision」を期間限定で展開。オープンなパーティーを好まず、アンダーグラウンドであることにとことん拘りを持ち、自身が楽しくて面白いと思う音とパーティーを追い求めている。
Taiyo
The borderless music was filling around since young age. Started traveling in Asia and in Australia from 2000. Inquiring the dance music from then, started DJing after the traveling, under the SAMURAI TRIBE which is underground acid party organization in Japan. Then, moved the base to southern island called Okinawa from Tokyo, and held more than 20 times of indoor / outdoor events in 3 years, such as “Wonderful Tonight”, the free donation party. A bush party “Wonderful tonight in Australia” in Melbourne was an event which is worthy of mention.
In these years, organizing the irregular party “有頂天!” (Uchouten!), which gathers many hot artists from all in Japan!
As a DJ, the sets are turning around Scandinavian, Trance, Tech, FreeStyle and up to Pop songs. Gaining and gaining the places of action not only in Japan but also in India, Cambodia and Australia recently.
And also composing and remixing tracks as MSG ( https://soundcloud.com/user-713616051 ) One of the track called 'Edoichi' is in the compilation 'HattiVatti', and now new track will release in another compilation album soon.
Taiyo’s abilities of sounds are groovy basslines, funky melodies, and own unconventional freestyle selection. That will make the dance floor building up.
All for Happiness and Freedom!! And for Oneself!!
