As an internationally recognized touring music producer with over 27 album / EP releases and a seasoned portfolio of video game and film scoring credits, Bluetech masters the analog and modular sound synthesis and DSP audio manipulation. His music transcends the constructs normally associated with a calculated “electronic artist,” pursuing music with meaning and purpose with downtempo, future bass and progressive electronic music, and poly-rhythmic percussion. Evan Bartholomew has been performing electronic music for nearly 20 years as Bluetech, Evan Marc and Invisible Allies (with Kilowatts). Fresh on the heels of his #10 Dance/Electronic Billboard-charting album “Sci-Fi Lullabies” (#1 on Bandcamp), Bluetech returns with a deep dive into genre-defying electronic music on his new double LP “Holotrope.”
Perfect Stranger is the stage name for California based, Israeli electronic musician Yuli Fershtat. The Perfect Stranger project was created in February 2005 and within 2 years of it’s debut became critically acclaimed all over the globe. Perfect Stranger ultimately created his own sub-genre in the psychedelic scene by presenting a totally distinctive sound characterized by groovy playful beats and patiently built compositions that often bridge between progressive trance and techno with a presence of tribal and psychedelic elements. Perfect Stranger has released 3 full artist albums, 3 remix albums, 3 compilations and appears on well over a hundred other releases (compilations, EP’s, albums, etc). He also owns & runs the “Digital Structures” label, where he publishes more Tech orientated sounds under the Yuli Fershtat moniker.
Dub-inspired global dance music is the hallmark of the Living Light sound, blending deep bass with indigenous percussion, entrancing melodies, and a dash of psychedelia that has lit up audiences coast to coast. Eartha Harris officially launched her Living Light project in 2013 – immediately topping Beatport’s Dub Reggae, Electronica and Downtempo charts, and now has four albums under the Living Light name, in addition to compilation appearances on Desert Trax, Merkaba Music, Liquid Sound Design, and Sofa Beats, plus official remixes for Bluetech, Papadosio, CloZee, David Starfire, Globular, AtYya, Wildlight, Ayla Nereo, Desert Dwellers, Saafi Brothers, Youth & Gaudi, and many more heavy-hitters in the festival circuit. Eartha Harris has been touring internationally as Living Light since its inception, appearing at renowned festivals such as Envision Festival (Costa Rica), Cosmic Convergence Festival (Guatemala), Geoparadise Tribal Gathering (Panama), Psy-Fi Festival (The Netherlands), Beloved (OR), Sonic Bloom (CO), Enchanted Forest Gathering (CA), Lucidity (CA), Serenity (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Burning Man (NV), Arise (CO), and has been featured as direct support for many notable show runs with CloZee, Desert Dwellers, Bluetech, Ott, Papadosio, Random Rab, Phutureprimitive, Govinda, and more. The name “Living Light” has multiple interpretations, and simultaneously refers to living non-materialistically, maintaining a positive outlook, and all life originating from star-stuff.
DJ Keyframe is excited to attend for the first time and play its first set there!
Keyframe values shamanic chill sounds filled with complexity & harmony. His music selection spans many different cultures and weaves intentional mellow grooves with psychedelic overtones. Keyframe has played many Burning Man sound camps, Lucidity Festival, Serenity Gathering, Red Marines Festival, Ozora Festival in Hungary, Anthropos in the UK, and many Bay Area underground venues.
Coming from a background of both underground hip hop, and electronic music scenes, Mystral‘s performance incorporates both aspects, and crosses the bridge between psychedelic, bass, and B-boy flavors. Freestyle flows bounce off beats and crowd energy is always high as conscious intention is brought through by words and uplifting vibrations. His 2013 EP release titled Afterglow, was the #1 new release on Addictech.com for the tail end of March, and provides a full range of sounds and emotions, from sexy bass grooves to funky glitch, and hip hop rhythms. He has shared the stage with many professional acts including members of Living Legends, Bluetech, Kalya Scintilla, Acyalone, Sasha Rose, Nico Luminous and Birds of Paradise.
Growing up in the Boston underground scene, Infinite Sun acquired an immense love for electronic music and the close-knit culture. Because of her will to share this with others, she picked up dj’ing in 2008 and quickly developed her own unique style. Shortly after, she was invited to become the first official FractalTribe DJ. In 2010, she was nominated to join a residency at the longest-running weekly psytrance event in the United States, Synchronize. Over the next 10+ years, she gained momentum, playing some of the most world-renowned festivals like Universo Paralello in Brazil, Eclipse Festival in Canada, Geo Paradise in Costa Rica, and How Weird Street Faire in San Francisco, California. In 2014, Maia Brasil Records recruited her as a techno, house, and psytrance DJ. Infinite Sun’s musical styles range from techno, tech-house, deep-house, progressive-house, and several different genres of psytrance (progressive, full-on, night-time, and dark psytrance). Her sets are quite versatile; sometimes described as driving, high-energy, and powerful, while at other times, melodic, playful, and groovy. Understanding how therapeutic and impactful music can be, her sets strive to entice dancers to forget about the daily-grind, fully immerse themselves in the music, and share a deeper connection with those around them.
Gizma, originally from Mexico, is now a San Francisco based DJ, producer and sound designer. She has always been moved by the depths of music but her true musical journey began in the Mexican underground in 2005 while she was starting medical school. There she understood that music occupies more areas of our brain than language does and that humans are a musical species by nature. After obtaining her medical degree she moved to San Francisco, CA, seeking to combine her medical knowledge with the healing powers of musical frequencies, she studied electronic music production in 2012 at the Pyramind Studios in San Francisco, CA. She was recruited to be a Dj at the legendary Spun Records label in 2018. She currently performs deep-house, techno, and various genres of psychedelic trance at festivals in Mexico and the United States. (such as Red Marines, Spirit of Goa, How Weird Street Faire, SF Pride, Xexify, Starcamp Shasta, Mandala, Silent disco and Super Hero Street Faire.) Her performances are described as a story-telling healing session, mesmerizing the dance-floor with high psychedelic energy, eclectic soundscapes, twists of organic sounds and sneaky melodies which can progress from one genre to another, or stay in one realm with the element of surprise always being present.
