Chris Organic Andrew Humphries
Chris Organic
Label Manager

Chris graduated in Music Information Technology in ‘94 and then went on to train at one of the UK’s top sound engineering schools, Islington Music Workshop. So impressed with his recording and sequencing skills, IMW took Chris on as a tutor and assistant engineer. Around this time Chris was also running a music stall in Camden Market, selling tapes he’d mixed himself from vinyl. From those tapes (which have become famous all over the World), and going under the name ‘Organic’ Chris started DJing at underground trance parties in the UK, then around Europe, and very quickly he went on to become a well-respected figure in the global trance scene playing all over the world and in every continent, because of that Chris is no stranger to big crowds, putting on a good show regularly to crowds as big as 30,000 and beyond. He has played some of the biggest parties and festivals around the globe such as: Solipse Hungary, Celebra Brazil, Earthcore Australia, Rainbow Serpent Australia, Science Fiction UK (with Eat Static), Return To The Source, Earthdance, Fusion Berlin, SummerDance Munich, SolaLunar Samothraki, and Underwater Overground Croatia.

Chris then was producing music in his own home studio, as well as working on collaborations with international artists wherever he could. This led to some hit records in the psytrance scene, including his solo album in 2002 “Don’t Panic” and releases on Spiral Trax (with Prisoners of The Sun), Transient, MDMA, Goldhead, Rumour Records, Jumpin’ & Pumpin’, etc.

Some of his other accomplishments include:

  • Writing reviews for Dream Creation, Revolve, and Gulfin magazines.
  • Hosting his own weekly show on Manchester based community radio for 2 years and playing on several radio shows around the world such as KissFm in Sydney, Australia.
  • Appeared on numerous TV shows around the world: Big Breakfast on ITV in the UK, MTV Trance Zone in greece, Dancefloor in Paris, etc.
  • Had Dj residencies at Club Alien (UK), Gaia Concept (Paris), Science Fiction (UK) and played alongside Eat Static at the legendary sold-out Fridge event.
  • Featured as DJ of the month in Wax magazine 1997.
Numerous other profiles in magazines around the world. In ‘97 Chris started Organic Records, which back then was the first true progressive psychedelic trance cross-over label. Up to now Organic has released numerous successful compilations and has recently switched to releasing quality artist albums. Organic has always had a solid reputation for releasing cutting edge psytrance music with vibrant artwork. Focusing on quality rather than quantity, this principle will always maintained by Chris.

Chris took a break from touring in 2003 when his son was born, and also to do some work for major UK TV shows like X-factor and Pop Idol. He’s also used his skills to make music for computer games (Championship Manager 5 Playstation 2/ X-box) and TV adverts (3-mobile, Sky Sports, GMG etc). Chris also is a qualified and experienced engineer, mastering all organics releases using his own patented 32bit, 3 dimensional sonic manipulation technique.

In January 2005 Chris Organic and his team pulled together the Tsunami Benefit CD, a “legendary” 3xCD box set which sold out 4000 copies in a couple of weeks and which so far has raised almost £10,000 for the victims of the Asian Tsunami.

Now he’s back for the attack, making kick-arse psytrance tracks and playing live at some selected festivals. Chris has also recently launched a new side of Organic Records called Organic Chill. Keep an eye out for his downtempo moniker called Organic Substance, where he is collaborating with musical-technology innovator, Pale Moon Rising... and a couple of tuff, psychedelic-progressive dancefloor mayhem remixes of 2 very big bands outside the scene... more to come :)

Chris now has a solid live set as well as rocking dancefloors worldwide with his awesome DJ sets… always interesting, groovy, and ultimately uplifting. His reputation stands before him: 10 years touring and not a single complaint yet ! For more info on Chris Organic, and to book Chris for one of your events, CLICK HERE

Alchera

Alchera - the Australian aboriginal word for "dreamtime" - is Sean Davidson, who makes tracks to take you dancing into your own dreamtime.

Many years of interest in diverse forms of electronic music has seen him go from writing a fanzine on "electronic body music" and early 90's industrial-dance, to finally making his own tracks - psychedelic excursions into other lands! Look out for some mind-altering tracks to come in 2005..."

OOOD

OOOD are 4 blokes from England whose mission is to have a good time, spread a little joy and write some blinding hard psy-trance in the process.

Originally formed in 1994 by Colin Bennun, Nigel Bradbury and Stephen Callaghan, the current line-up is Colin, Steve and new members (but old friends) Ramsay Melhuish and Ryo Potier. As well as being talented DJs, they bring an extra live element to OOOD’s live shows, adding percussion and live psychedelia. A live band from their inception, OOOD have been gigging since they formed in Oxford, honing their craft at local events.

Their very first performance in London (at Otherworld) was described in Dream Creation magazine as "bang on, with a power and a quality all too often lacking in some of the more well-known atists". On the London party circuit their performances include live sets for Synergy Project, Tribe of Frog, Return to the Source, Astral Phoenix, Otherworld, Escape from Samsara, Pagan & many others. The list goes on and as well as smaller London venues, includes parties all over the UK.

Dj Maia

The long hours and hard work of building a reputation for professionalism and technical skills in DJ-ing and live performance has been an ongoing reality for Maia since 2002. Now a well known and popular Psytrance and Chill Out DJ in New Zealand, Maia has also performed at numerous events overseas in Germany, Ireland, England and USA. Her seamless, dynamic mixing style, constant interaction with the partygoers and ability to really crank up the energy of the dance floor has earned her much respect.

For the past five years Maia has been organising various indoor and outdoor events in Wellington to facilitate celebrations of the Solstice, Equinox and other ancient seasonal festivals. Co-founder of the Emerge and Psybersonix underground warehouse parties, Maia soon began collaborating with other Psytrance crews in the city to host events along Wellington’s spectacular coastline and to organise a series of highly successful events at the National Tattoo Museum.

Also actively involved in the south island scene, Maia was a main instigator and organiser of the Uprising ’07 NYE multi-zone festival on the legendary Canaan Downs. All such events have shared a distinctive tribal, pagan vibe, incorporating fire dancers, live musicians, VJs, DJs, artists, healers, and ritual drumming.

This strong, tribal energy is evident in Maia’s DJ’s performances. Whether full power Psytrance, funky Progressive or sublime Chill Out, Maia’s sets offer pathways into the realms of spiritual trance, into other dimensions, where the intention is to stimulate our evolving consciousness and our sense of interconnectedness. By being present in the moment and tuning into the energies on the dance floor, Maia creates an interactive mix that is spontaneously unique.

Often merging a range of other genres including Dub, Breaks, World Grooves and underground beats from Aotearoa, Maia’s sets dissolve boundaries, have widespread appeal and are packed full of fun and energy.
