DESCRIPTION:
Sonic Species:
Signed to Alchemy Records in 2008 as a duo, their first release - 'Lost Transmission' - was an instant hit across the globe. 'Bend the Future' was released in 2009 on Neurobiotic Records, and again became one of the festival anthems of the summer. Sonic Species debut EP 'Machina Terra' was finally released in the summer of 2010 on Alchemy Records and was again proved popular through the many re-releases of the self-named title track.
With the departure of Alex Story, Sonic Species continues forward as the solo project of Joe Markendale as he carves new epic paths through modern psychedelic trance. Having performed at some of the most heavyweight international psychedelic events, Sonic Species continues to storm dancefloors with dynamic and powerful live sets. The debut album will be released in April 2012.
Zen Mechanics:
Zen Mechanics was launched in 2002 by the multi-talented Dutchman Wouter Thomassen, Drawing from his 12 year DJ experience, he soon caused quite a stir with his eclectic style.
By fusing elements of futuristic Trance, Progressive, Ambient & Breaks into a powerfull dancefloor-friendly and atmospheric sound, he quickly gained critical acclaim and interest from a range of top labels as varied as his output (such as Aleph Zero, Iboga, Neurobiotic, Nano, Alchemy and Flow).
Since then he's been travelling the planet nonstop, and booked for some of the world's biggest psychedelic festivals such as Boom, Glade, Universo Paralello, Sonica, Tribe, Solstice, Kaballah & Rainbow Serpent.
