Out of the mist's and also developing fast in this new year of 2008 is Gandalf's Garden Party. Gandalf's is part of the new Alpha Omega Party (see link in 'my friends' below) collective based in London, which is a collaboration project between some of the top promoters, record labels and production teams in the electronic music industry in the UK.
Rhythm's of Rhino's...I'll have a Donkey.My name's Chris, and a big hello to everyone that visits myspace here! If you see me about come and say hello..it would great to see you whether i've met you or not!
Anyhows I have many fingers in many pies at this current time...i'm interested in a whole host of different things including Music, Cricket, Djing, Events Management, Music Promotion, quirky history, British islands, the psychedelic dimensions & travelling as much as possible.
I'm currently working on several different projects within the world of psychedelic music. With my good friends Alex Story & Sally Nicklass we created Daytrippers which is a daytime psychedelic event in London in the UK. Daytrippers aims to bring the original psychedelic vibe into the modern day. Were currently acting as the Twisted Records afterparty with our next event is on Saturday May 26th 2007 after Twisted Live at Brixton Academy.
I'm also involved with promoting Omniscience, a Kent based psychedelic organisation of musicians, DJ's & artists which has been putting on highly successful events in southern England & London for nearly 4 years now. Keep your ears out for future forest parties which are planned for the summer season, the April 7th event was attended by around 800 people and was a wonderful start to the summer deep in the Kentish forests.
I DJ under the name IPcress and have played for some of the biggest club nights & records labels in the UK such as Little Green Planet, Chrysalid, Alchemy Records, Hadra Records, Liquid Records, Bom Shanka Records and many many more. I've also played at festivals in the UK and abroad such as Wickerman & Tetris Safari with future bookings in Holland and Scotland & Switzerland this summer/autumn. My style can vary from chilled minimal electronica right the way through to progressive & full on psychedelic trance. My emphasis is on mixing different styles of music together to create a psychedelic cocktail...a journey through sound.
And last but not least, I'm working very closely with Robin Annal at Triskele management with an emphasis on Marketing & Promotion and chill out & electronica. Triskele represent labels such as Liquid, Organic, Neurobiotic, Free Spirit & 3D Vision with many more in the pipe line over the coming year. I look forward to the future.
