FERGIE has been at the forefront for over a decade and has become
a global representative for electronic music by consistently breaking
down underground barriers and bringing new music to the people,
without compromise. He has become a master of evolving his sound
to keep one step ahead of the rest. Constantly developing and never
standing still, his recent productions
for Excentric have received a scorching reception from the likes of
Anderson Noise, Laurent Garnier and Oliver Huntemann........
Featured in DJMag as ‘One to Watch’ describing his music as 'Techno with a leather jacket.' Mr Henry Von is set to become one of the most exciting DJs of his generation. The Von's sound is an mixture of techno bass and house grooves; forward thinking underground music ... but not just for underground people. What makes him so different is his dedication to making his sets have a raw feel whilst ripping up the rule book at the same time – so you never know just what is in store until it is coming right at you his sole aim is simple … not let anybody stop dancing for one moment ........
For the past six years Pyscatron have held one of the most prestigious residencies in Ireland at the world famous Shine in Belfast, as well as it's sister club The Stiff Kitten. This has led to them supporting some of the biggest names in electronic music including Carl Cox, Groove Armada, Dave Clarke, Erol Alkan, Christian Smith, Radio Slave, Sebastian Leger, Boyz Noise, Fergie, Slam, James Zabiela, Sander Kleinenberg, Steve Lawler.
Psycatron have also guested around Ireland the UK and Europe at the likes of Excentric (Ibiza), Excentric (Perth), Acii Disco (Dublin), Deep Fried Funk (Derry), Lovebox Festival (Dublin), Planetlove Festival (Belfast), Celtronic Festival (Derry), Dirty Grooves (Sligo), Exit (Lithuania), Lush (Portrush)
Having set-up their own label Psycatron Records in 2007, they boys are back after a brief production hiatus with a full arsenal of weapons heading your way in 2008. The new material showcases a tougher techno-orientated sound and includes remixes for Excentric and a brand new EP for Fergie's new imprint Digital Persuasion which are set to be massive over the coming months..
It may have been fate that Erphun's very first gig was on Halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. His ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. Having spun around California with residencies for Naked, Flirt and Hotel California and playing at 1015 Folsom (San Francisco), Sevilla (Las Vegas), Broadway (San Diego), Voodoo Lounge (Las Vegas), Risqu (Las Vegas, New Year's Eve 2004), and the Shelbourne Hotel (Miami, Winter Music Conference), Erphun began to make his mark. Erphun's music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by Steve Lawler as a "deep, dark and underground unique sound" that trademarks his pieces. With early releases on INGrooves, and Ascension Records followed by releases on Viva Music Oliver Klein's Mutekki and Audio Therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. The reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory "SIIIIIICK!". Erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4AM version of their pieces. The only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. A night of Erphun's making heightens the listener's musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision.
Based in Manchester Jus Phil, recently featured in a ‘Best of British Futures’ show alongside James Talk, Dave Robertson and Kevin Gorman on Radio 1, has been addicted to the electronic era since the early 90’s. A techno driven junkie he likes to keep the atmosphere alive and unpredictable by incorporating live elements into his sets using a variety of effects, loops and tools. This results in a great connection with the crowd as witnessed at his stints at the Ministry Tribal Session. As a producer and boss of Monumental Label he likes to keep his sound as nasty as possible, techno filled with a rollin grooves and quirky synths. His recent VIP EP release on Punchfunk is featured on Marco V’s Combi: Nations 2 compilation ……..
Belfast based, Jordan plays tough, across-the-board electronic music...Not too serious but most definitely pretty fresh and music to dance to. He has an obvious passion for music of all kinds and this translates into an energetic and at times genre-bending performance which further ignites his audience. As well as playing the massive Planet Love Festival in Dublin and clubs in the UK 2007 also found him making his debut in Ibiza. From the country that has spawned some of the modern dance scene's biggest stars, such as David Holmes, Fergie, Agnelli & Nelson and Phil Kieran, it's no great shock that the newest prodigy is making such a noticeable impact. Holding what is looking like one of the busiest diaries in Northern Ireland for the next year…..
