Live/DJ Set
Talamasca [Mind Control Records - France]
LIVE/DJ
Known as one of the most talented musicians of the electronic music scene, and specialist in Trance music, Talamasca is the solo project of Cedric Dassulle, based in Paris.
After more than 18 years travelling all over the world in more than 40 countries to play his own music, Talamasca has released more than 150 tracks on the most prestigious labels of this genre.
3D Vision, Label that he was the cofounder of, released his first album 'Beyond the Mask' in 1998 and the success of this release built him a strong reputation.
The second album was the consecration of his work, released in 2000 by Spiral Traxx, a very well known label from Sweden. From this point Talamasca was definitely one of the rising stars of those years, especially with tracks like 'Time Simulation', that went onto received major support, being played all over the planet and onto every dance floor.
Talamasca then released in 2001, after having released a lot of tracks on many labels in various compilations, as the demand was really huge, his 3rd album called 'Zodiac', 12 tracks based on the 12 astrological signs. This album also contained his first guitar track called 'Aries', one of his biggest hits, and one of the best selling CD's in the history of Psy Trance.
In 2004 he created and launched his own label called 'Mind Control Records', that provided a platform for him to produce other artists than himself, discovering and launching some of the newest French artists, such as; XSI, Silicon Sound, Nomad, Life Extension, Mesmerizer, Shagma and a few others...
He also released on 'Mind Control Records', as a first release his 4th album called 'Made in Trance', a collaboration album made with some of those new French producers previously mentioned.
His 5th album, 'Obsessive Dream', was a double CD release; one containing solo tracks from Talamasca and one containing collaboration projects with the biggest names of this style of music such as Skazi, Eskimo, GMS and Sirius Isness...
After having so much fun making collaborations, he made his 6th album with XSI, the French project that Mind Control Records produced the first album for, and who became the new promising project of the new generation of producers emerging into the Psy Trance scene. A friendship was born during the collaboration & production of this album that is aptly titled 'One'.
Talamasca is now finishing his 7th album that is expected for release before the Summer 2011.
His mission as a Live Act or DJ, is to share the energy of his music so that people would have a good time during his set, he wants them to dance, and to be happy and this is his main goal.
This is maybe why he is so known for his communication & interaction with the public while he's playing...
With over 15 successful years playing all over the planet, he knows what people want to dance to, and his skills as a musician to translate feelings into music is not to demonstrate anymore as he became through the years the 'maestro' of psy trance, his nick name in many countries...
"Since I discovered in 1992 that it was possible to make MUSIC more than NOISE with electronic music, I had so many ideas in mind that I knew its gonna become my life...". (Talamasca).
To see Talamasca play his music is an experiment that you want to live!
~~DEAD PA (Drum n Breaks)~~
Goinka, 2nd Movement, SilkySensations-Houston,TX
Live PA
.DEAD P.A... is changing the rules of dancefloor events. After cutting their teeth in the fourth largest U.S. city of Houston, Texas with an unusual dynamic interaction of live percussion, guitar, keyboards, vocals and programmable audio, the act quickly obtained a monthly residence at a swanky downtown club and has set fire everywhere since with their unique brand of "Drum N Breaks." While DJs are known for bringing music to the party, ..DEAD P.A... is bringing back the party to music. An emphasis on bad ass music, blistering performance, and theme oriented sets (rather than standing behind gear and pumping a fist once in a while) has generated comparison to a concert atmosphere and has consistently won over even the "cliquiest" of music-lovers. An adrenalin fueled exchange with audiences has kept ..DEAD P.A... in demand from Miami to Los Angeles and everywhere inbetween. .... 2007 kicked off a little rough as Jason was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a small orange… but when life hands out small oranges, we’ve learned to make orange-ade. In spite of this setback, DEAD P.A. has released the full length cd (distributed to retail thru LOAD Media UK) “The Dead Will Rise,” a split 12" with Miami, Florida's Devine & Emily Play, headlined the Guitar Hero 3 tent at SXSW, and wrapped up 2008 with the "DEAD P.A. for President Tour." DEAD P.A. is now accepting bookings for the DEADICATED TOUR 2010!
~~Bird of Prey (PsyDub)~~

Bird of Prey is San Francisco bay area native Torin Goodnight. Creating electronic music for over a decade, he has developed a unique and very distinct sound. His music hybridizes various genres, fusing the enveloping sensibilities of psychedelic sound with hard hitting dubstep and breakbeat elements. His style contains a high level of cerebral activity not commonly found in many urban genres. Combining aggressive basslines, twisted leads, and colorful atmospheres to create diverse and immersive soundscapes.
He made his first compositions in his bedroom tinkering with hardware synths and sequencers, eventually moving on to more elaborate computer-based production. After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in sound engineering from Expression College for Digital Arts, he worked in the audio industry for four years before becoming a full time musician. He is now dedicated to creating powerful music with good intentions, and aims to contribute his craft wherever it’s appreciated.
The success of his 3 EP’s (Atrium, SubTropic, Dreamcatcher), and many licensed tracks to compilations has put this artist on the map. He is currently working on his next releases for Addictech Records. You can be sure to expect honest, cutting-edge music from this artist in the near future.

Were are but mere messengers of a sound that binds us all. Back to what all music was founded upon. The Drums.
