Progress – (Antshanti Records) – NYC
PROGRESS, the project of Yuriy Vaskevich, is an evolution of sound that brings a world of fantasy and imagination to its listeners. Based in New York City, an energetic hub, the music is a reflection of its physical origin as well as the mental evolution of its composer. With a strong foundation in classic music, mainly of piano and guitar and a post-modern ambition, the sound is both organic and electronic. The project began in the late 1990s with an exploration of personal identity and experimentation with various styles of electronic music. Today, PROGRESS, ranges in style from psychedelic trance, ambient and chill-out, to avant-garde and experimental. Having played at several live venues in the United States and written film scores, PROGRESS has a rapidly growing acclaim. As the name implies, the music is always progressing with the common denominator being its inspiring melodies and a strong tendency to take its listeners on a colorful journey.
Primordial Ooze – (D-A-R-K Records, The Chilluminati) – Chicago/Milwaukee
D-A-R-K Records, The Chilluminati and AntiShanti Pure Perception Records
“Primordial Ooze – oozers are two primates that just learned to walk upright and use opposable thumbs for twisting knobs and holding chop sticks. They are obsessed with weird natural world. Observers of self-organization principles in nature, they filter their experiences into sound that seem to bubble and evolve like primitive life forms. Imagine frequencies collaborating in a swarm like manner, combining into vibrant, ritualistic compositions that resonate deep with your primeval memories. If you feel like growing gills, horns and tails while dancing, keep calm and keep on stomping, you’ve just awakened your fundamental self.”

In recent years he has founded and run Wiggle Factor, a production company based in his home city, helping to instigate the current revival of techno and house events in the South East US. His production talents have found him involved in various collaborations as well. His work continues to mature and shine, while exploring many different aspects of House and Techno. Remix and original releases are slated for this year, so keep your ear to the ground. Rooting around the context of all aspects of House, Techno, Hip Hop, Soul, Ambient, and everything in between, Ajhenda has found his own way to combine the sounds of now and beyond with those of his past. You can find him working the room with a crowd ready for a heavy night of techno, or a crowd ready for a night of house in various moods and energy. This style has been honed over many years and more recently with the Wiggle Factor nights, and with a current residency with DJ Pierre’s The Phutur3. As the head of Wiggle Factor, he has created a team that has produced highquality events that focus on precision, vision, and show the potential of putting you best foot forward behind something you know and love. Taking concept into reality alongside his Wiggle Factor comrades, he has helped to make his home city a destination for DJs in the US while also gaining the respect of his peers as a DJ himself. As a lifelong student of music and it’s culture, expect to see and hear him moving a dance floor near you very soon.

Annunaki – (Touch Samadhi, Pure Perception Records) – Asheville NC
The Annunaki first arrived on Earth probably 450,000 years ago, seeking an exotic beat to facilitate their trance states. Eventually we came to call them by many names, such as “the Nephilim” in Genesis, or simply “gods”. Whichever they are, they genetically engineered Homo Sapiens as perfect biological machines for dancing by crossing extraterrestrial genes with those of Homo erectus. Still incomplete, the machines required new patterns and rhythms to function to their fullest potential. So the “gods” searched, and waited, eventually finding the patterns and rhythms in Goa, India, where they studied and recorded these new patterns of mental concentration. Now their research has come to a close as the Annunaki prepare to enact their creations. Are they gods of good, or gods of evil?
