GACID

Gaz is probably the most full on dark sound in the Phar Psyde arsenal. Imagine the Dj sets?? This isn't to say that unleashing Gaz on the Electro/Breaks tip hasn't had a dance floor mooking around like a goblin on loopy juice.Gaz has been Dj'ing for well over ten years now, and his diversity matches his love for a wiggle. Both light and dark, Gacid churns the dance floor into a soup of sound. www.myspace.com/gacidpharpsyde

LIQUID ROSS

He's as fundamental to Britain as a cup of tea; in fact, in the 2008 Lonely Planet said that once you've seen Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge, the next thing to do is to find out what Ross is up to." Daimon - Psyreviews.com. www.myspace.com/liquidross

SIMON PIEMAN

There isn’t one word that has been invented to sum up this walking potatoe dressed up in a human costume. The name pieman is very suiting as he does have his fingers in a lot of proverbial pies.

GEO

Born and raised in Dublins fair city, he grew up with 3 brothers and 1 sister. I'm sure they all tried to kill each other at some stage, but they love each other dearly now. His taste for the alternative, subversive and downright 'Kevin the Teenager' lifestyle led him to fly the nest at an early age - he thought, 'I gotta get outta this place',his family thought, 'Yeah, shut the door on your way out, wierdo! Moved to London and set up squat with his punk rock brothers and sisters who showed him the time of him life - gigs, drinking, sniffing, fighting, charge sheets and more gigs. The rest is history. www.myspace.com/geosounds

BEARDY

He has been involved in psychedelic trance for the last 10 years after discovering the Goa scene in India in 1994. He was part of the Smiling Fish psychedelic discotech,and the Acidbath parties in the mid 90's. His style is fat and kicking psychedelic night time music.

JAI

Jai Heppenstall is a couple of cd’s short of a wallet, but still the secret weapon in the Phar-Psyde arsenal. Hailing from deepest Devon where she grew amongst the underground party scene that she experienced with her father, the legendary Gacid. 17-year-old Jai has been grinding up the fields and dancefloors around the U.K and Europe since she was 14. Jai’s musical tastes have evolved to allow her to tear up the dancefloors with her flowing trance sets or equally please the crowd with her fresh and slick Electro/Breaks sets. www.myspace.com/djanejai

RYO

Ryo, one of OOOD, along with Colin, Stevie and Rama, have pushed the boundaries of trance and electronica ever wider.  He performed his first concerto at the at 11, using only brassicas and legumes, with this incredible talent he was quickly likened to  Mrs Marjorie Buckwheat of 18, The Meadows, Slough. Now he likes to dress up as a vicar and eat braised celery. www.phar-psyde.com

RAMA

There is some obscurity about the facts of his past, but we do know that at the age of 4, Rama began a mobile disco and by 7, had become the Karaoke King of  Kettering.He is a core member of the seminal and fully live electronic act OOOD. His ability as a DJ is matched by only by his Monkey-Tribe partners Ryo and Stevie. Check out this true pioneer of genre free music. www.phar-psyde.com

STEVIE

Stevie was one of the founding members of OOOD and the saucy Monkey Tribe crew. Stevie`s apparent clandestine past, is filled with words like “popcorn specialist” , “toothbrush emporium” and my personal favourite so far is “runcible spoodle”. Let this man into your party and watch his infectious happiness spread, leave him there long enough and just watch the dance floor wiggle with joy. www.phar-psyde.com

LEON

Leon Kane from Brighton first got tuned into trance music whilst travelling Africa at a Solipse party in Zambia 2001.

In 2004 he joined Wildthings and teamed up with Alex EVP forming a new project called RealityGrid. After producing the RealityGrid album, Leon decided to embark on a solo project called Avalon. Avalon can be described as full on funky Psy Trance, with raw hypnotic Synth lines and groovy percussion.

MORPH

Andy discovered psytrance in 1995 after being persuaded to go to a Return To The Source night featuring Medicine Drum. He then made a gradual progression from chillout music into the Orb, Orbital and Paul Oakenfold (when he was playing goa) and finally into full-psy. Andy has played all over the UK, in Scotland and Thailand, and will be playing in India and Australia over the winter. His style is versatile, as he can play anything from progressive – to full-on – to dark nighttime, but no matter the style hes playing… the dancefloor is always full. At the present he is a Liquid Records DJ.
