About Me
Mandala Groove is a new live project formed by Squee and Mr.iX, both
based in Dublin, Ireland. They started producing music together at the
begining of 2007. Their style can be defined as groovy, funky, powerful
and full on which is certain to make u smile and dance =) The music is
a fusion of influences such as electro, drum and bass, break beat...
Mandala Groove's bookings have already started as they have just anounced their first live act project to be ready. They start their summer early at Spains Life Festival 2008 Launch Party, a colaboration between Neutronyx (Ireland) and Kantala Sounds (Spain). They then headoff with their first promo to Life Festival 2008 (Galway / Ireland), to later this year present their Live Act in London. Mr.Ix and Squee present to us an uplifting Live Act with 2 laptops, 2 midi controllers and a magical interaction between both that will surely make the dancefloor smile and all those happy bodies moving!
Mr.iX, originally from Spain, resident DJ for Neutronyx.
Mainly influenced by the full on sound of the time he soon realised he
wanted to broaden his sonic horizons and one day produce his own music. His
sets morphed from full on aural assaults into a more groovy and funky
sound giving the groovers and shakers exactly what they needed - an
injection of top class energetic psytrance! Mr.iX has played in most of the biggest clubs in Ireland, Temple bar music centre, Traffic, Vaults, The academy(spirit),Life bar,...sharing the stage with such acts as Eat Static,Electric Universe, Naked tourist, Vibrasphere,Tron, Peaking Godess, Painkiller,Freq, Beatnik, DJ Zefer and many, many more. His festival debut was at Planet Love 06, closing the festival(Belfast) and
it looks like he's had a busy showcase with bookings to
play in Edinburg(Scotland), Lisbon(Portugal), Harmonia
Festival(Almeria, Spain), Life Festival 2007, Electric Picnic 2007, After Life 2007, Cosmic Fusion(Galway), among many.
Squee is Pedro Martins and has been playing for Neutronyx since 2006.
Pedro comes from Lisbon - Portugal and has been Djing for about 6 years
and producing electronic music for about 6 years, to note his recent dj set at Life Festival 2007. Pedro describes his style as "Happy Gnome Music" and his songs are known for the "singing" voice synths, Rise and Drop Effects and organic sound. His lineup / showcase included venues in both Ireland and Portugal, among his playlist we find known venues like Traffic, Radio City, After Live 2007, Life Festival 2007, Electric Picnic 2007, Concha, Golfinho Beach Bar, News Disco, Life Bar, among others - some of the most "underground" parties in a well known Psychedelic zone in Portugal, a magical place called Sintra, land of forests and magical creatures.
Those of you that were present in Life Festival 2007 and heard all those djsets that have been making Irelands psychedelic movement dance have had the chance to try a bit of this mix of positive energy. ;)
