Francesca Spadoni, a.k.a Psykia, is an eclectic young artist from the Italian underground scene. Her first contact with music was at the age of six, when she first took a violin in her hands, which she loves and, even now, is the instrument closest to her heart. She studied classical music throughout her adolescence but at the same time was introduced to electronic music, thanks to her brother DJ Sword, a great collector of trance and techno vinyls from their very beginnings. Such influences led Psykia to the belief that electronic sonorities were those most consistent with the soul of her generation. Initially she was intrigued by Ambient, Electro and Trip Hop; later she became involved in the Psychedelic Trance scene, studying at Rome’s “Università della Musica†and leaving two years later, at 23, with the Diploma in Sound Engineering. After spending three months in Goa where she came into contact with the various sounds of Trance, she began her journey as a DJ of Progressive/Psy Trance and Chillout. In less than 2 years, Psykia is now asked to play all over the world, and has already had the opportunity to play alongside big names on the international Psy Trance scene like: Tristan, Headroom, Digital Talk, Arjuna, Ocelot, Compressor, Materia, Mad Maxx, Sahamadi, XP, Space Cat, Pixel, Naked Tourist, Odiseo (Xibalba),Jay and Ex, Duble Impact, Dica etc.. Psykia’s are liquid, psychedelic sounds, with a fitting bass line that draws you in. Her progressive set is ideal during the day, and reflects her sunny and dynamic personality. After a full power season in Goa now is ready with her second project wich is an acid but not too hard psytrance set with many influences from the progressive sound, ideal for the sunrise of a "jungle party". Completely involved in the Trance culture, she is currently publishing an anthropological research on the Goa Trance movement for the Roman University “La Sapienzaâ€, whose title is “Trancefloor: an ethnografic study on the soundscapes of dancing souls.â€
