Lunatica is the blasting psychedelic psytrance project from Miguel Solans also known as Lupin by his progressive project!
After producing for years under Lupin project, Miguel decided to take it level further by forming the Lunatica project. Lunatica is all about pushing boundaries between styles & its sound can be described as a fine balance between daytime full on and night time psychedelic driving music.
Lunatica has arrived now to swipe the dancefloor away by monstrous maddening liquid sounds !

Hypatia is the name of the music project by Adrian Torres Arabi, 24 years old, born and raised in the magic island of Ibiza. For sure, the island itself, known worldwide as one of Europe’s favourite nightlife playgrounds, played a big role in the evolution of his artistic career. The steady exposure to party life motivated Adrian to get into electronic music, starting with techno and deep, then soon switching to more psychedelic atmospheres.
His playing style has climbed slowly but constantly since he was very young. In 2013, he started his career as Dj, performing and showcasing his favourite artists’ sound in Ibiza. His selection was inspired by the Old School glories animating the island’s psychedelic scene at that time, such as Cosmosis, Etnica, Electric Universe.
After some years, and much more parties around, the lucky encounter with Miguel aka Lunatica, gave him the motivation and the necessary skills to start his own project under the name of Hypatia. Initially signed to the Spanish Label “Own Spirit Recs”, his music production is definitely psytrance oriented now, but still keeping a melodic old-school touch. His tracks are solid and structured, sustained by a strong and sharp bassline, spiced up by deep, round, groovy sounds. The overall result of his Live Set is a highly psychedelic trip, open and energetic, suitable for both day and night dancers.
He collaborated with different Labels, and released more than 10 Ep’s in only 2 years of activity. But Adrian’s passion for the psychedelic culture and scene doesn’t end in the studio. He is also an active and talented promoter, collaborating both with big festivals – for example Own Spirit in Spain – and with smaller local realities such as Burning Slippers in Granada. His mission is providing his expertise and competencies to keep alive the scene in those places where it could be easily eaten by mainstream culture. His numerous projects are now taking him around the world and for sure he’s not gonna stop soon.

Psygroo (1984, Lleida) progressive psytrance, psychill & psytrance artist, finds out the world electronic music during the beginning of the new millennium. At first, he was seduced by techno scene, but attending one of the most important psychedelic meetings, Boom Festival 2006, when he really discovered his real passion: progressive psytrance. His musical taste gets amplified, psychedelia catches him and he begins to work hard to lead with his sets the same state of meditation that trance provokes.
His obsession has been always to become the transmitter of the powerful force that music has to alter our states of consciousness and to set us free. Since then, his brights and surroundings sets have sounded in many festivals around the world like: Hadra Trance Festival (France), Kupuri Festival (Mexico), Plur Festival (Greece), Back To Nature Festival (Turkey), River Flow Festival (Greece), Connection Festival (Spain), Bioritmo (Spain), Own Spirit Festival (Spain).
An adventurous spirit and the determination to contribute and enrich the Spanish psytrance scene led him in 2014 to found the Own Spirit collective and a year later the label with the same name, already it has interesting artists and a place in the psytrance scene.
With Own Spirit collective, he has materialized one of his greatest wishes: created psychedelic meetings. They have worked together to do possible two years Own Spirit Festival, a mixture of their love for music and alternative therapies. This trip is in progress and new adventures will bring us for our pleasure!

— T’OXYMORON // E.T FARM – CY —
https://soundcloud.com/toxymoron-7
t•OxyMoron is the DJ project of Panos Efs. Born in Cyprus and currently based in Brighton UK, his first encounter with Psytrance took place in 2008. After years of listening and dancing to the music he felt that it was time to take that psychedelic passion and channel it through his DJ sets to offer an immersive, full-power dancing experience. He mixes a selection of Darkpsy/Forest, as this is where his heart belongs. Sharp & dark twisted sounds accompanied by overpowering bass lines is his tested recipe. He creates stories, filled with samples that he selects & records himself, to stimulate not only the body but also the mind. Between 2016-2017 he performed at a few Brighton Gatherings and also had his debut in the Psychedelic Underground scene of London.
