Biography Juno Reactor is an electronic psytrance group, often known for its world fusion influences and currently consists of Ben Watkins and Mike Macguire. At one time or another, Juno Reactor also included Johann Bley, stephen holweck and Jens Waldenback.
Juno Reactor was formed in 1990 by Ben Watkins and Stephen Holweck. The group came together as an experimental ambient project in order to record an accompanying soundtrack to sculpture artist (and Watkins’ girlfriend) Norma Fletcher’s art installation and performance piece called “The Missile Project”. The centerpiece of the project was a 70-foot decommissioned missile, nicknamed “Juno Reactor”, which the band rolled around London while playing its music to raise awareness about nuclear war. According to Watkins, “[it] was blue concrete. And it looked like a dinosaur tail. And a smoke came out of it.” [1] The project took over a month to complete; however, the exhibition lasted only several hours, as London police arrived, breaking up the display and arresting all members of the project. The music was eventually released as Juno Reactor’s second album, Luciana.
In 1993 Juno Reactor released its first single, “Laughing Gas”, on NovaMute. The single was soon followed by their debut album, Transmissions. The album, reckoned a huge success, is considered one of the first albums in the Goa Trance genre. Later the band released Luciana on Alex Paterson’s (The Orb) Inter-Modo label. Juno Reactor left NovaMute and Inter-Modo in 1995 and signed to UK’s Blue Room Released label for the Guardian Angel single. Their album Beyond the Infinite followed in 1996.
The 1997 release on Wax Trax! Records/TVT Records, Bible of Dreams, was Juno Reactor’s fourth album. Its sound diverged sharply from those of the previous albums and moved away from traditional dance beats by including tribal music influences. Watkins collaborated with Amampondo, a traditional South African percussion act, on the single “Conga Fury”. Ben Watkins and Amampondo followed up with a five week U.S. tour as the opening act for Moby. In 1998 Juno Reactor played a stunning live set with Amampondo at Glastonbury Festival. The group has played as headliners each year at Glade Festival, the Glastonbury spinoff.
Watkins released the fifth Juno Reactor album, Shango, in 2000. It was the band’s first album on Metropolis Records. The first track, “Pistolero”, was a collaboration with guitarist Steve Stevens (Billy Idol). The track opened up an entirely new direction for Juno Reactor. The same song was featured in the trailer for the movie “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”, as well as in the film itself. In the fall of 2002, Juno Reactor released a new single titled “Hotaka”, recorded in a Japanese studio overlooking Mt. Fuji. “Hotaka” once again featured Steve Stevens on guitar and included traditional Taiko drummer Gocoo. In 2003, the Odyssey 1992-2002 album was released as a compilation of the best Juno Reactor tracks of the past decade.
The latest Juno Reactor album, Labyrinth, was released in October 2004 and featured Watkins’ work from the Matrix films. The new album once again confirmed the tribal music influences present in Juno Reactor’s work, with tracks like “Conquistador II”.
In 2006 Ben Watkins was hired to produce the OST for Brave Story (a children’s anime movie). The Soundtrack was released in July 2006 by Sony, Japan, though printed in very limited numbers.
The group may soon release an EP entitled ‘Superman – the immaculate Crucifixion’, featuring experimental works. One of the EP’s tracks, City of the Sinful, is co-written and sung by Ghetto Priest, who also provides the vocals for Asian Dub Foundation.
In Oct 2006 Juno reactor performed a taped concert in Tokyo. Including an extended lineup and some new work, this show will be featured in a forthcoming tour DVD.
2008: A new studio album called “Gods & Monsters” is set to be released in March. Also, a new DVD entitled “Juno Reactor - Audio Visual Experience”

Psyboriginal is Marc Freund from Sydney, Australia Since 2004, his live sets have focused on spawning an environment conducive for explosive, energetic, and sometimes unpredictable trance floor reverberations. The Psybo-sound depicts that indescribable moment between night and day- ethereal and uplifting to bring in the morning, yet mysterious and menacing enough to wreck nocturnal havoc.
Marc's versatility as an artist is further evident in the incorporation of guitar and vocals in a few of his tracks. The Psyboriginal sound is one that is constantly changing and evolving; during his time in Belgium in 2004, Marc became decidedly influenced by morning Psytrance. However, upon returning to his native Australia, things took a trip to the dark(er) side, as his music adapted both a harder, more sinister edge as well as greatly increasing in overall doofability.
The present end result- a unique style that weaves together all the right elements, fabricating a perfect groove guaranteed to ignite any legion of doofers with positive vibes. In the past he has worked alongside fellow Aussie producers Fractal Glider and Legohead Illusion of Self. As well as some recent collaborations with Hydraglyph and Slum. Psyboriginal has kicked up dust on dancefloors all over Australia as well as in Germany,Austria, Belgium, UK, Spain, Czech Rep.,Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary,Mexico and Dubai Look for upcoming releases on Digital Psionics, Digital Distortion Records, PsyPneumatix, and Tribeadelic Records, as well as a forthcoming album on Digital Psionics in 2007
The Daheen Psytrance experience is something to behold. He has aimed to create a distinctive style, fusing sounds and melodies to tell a story or convey a concept, as well as providing a stomping good dance. He incorporates many samples from the real world, especially animal sounds as seen in his popular track ‘Jungle Juice’ released on EPP Records in 2004. His unique live set has to be seen to be believed, providing a visual theatrical element which believe it or not features animals playing guitar!
Incorporating different masks and costumes to go with each differently themed track, the Daheen live Psy set is extremely entertaining, comical, bizarre, and a great dance. Daheen has been showcasing his live performance up and down the east coast of Australia as well as recent performances in the UK and on the European festival circuit. Recent releases include 'Direct flight' - a track with Psyboriginal on his album "Unleashed", and 'Regrowth' - from the debut Regen Records compilation "Tree Dimensional". Stay tuned for the Daheen full length psytrance album coming soon.
Daheen also began producing Chill-Out in 2003 and released a limited release promo album 'Green Chillies' in 2005. The album proved extremely popular and Daheen was soon found to be playing on both the main stage and Chill-Out areas at many parties and festivals. His Chill-Out music also has a unique style, and is a rich blend of live guitar, floating melodies, whacky samples, whales, dogs, monkeys, cows, lions, tigers, birds, opera singers, didgeridoo, bag pipes, Jews harp, laptop, and a partridge in a pear tree!
He glides through genres ranging from ambient to dub to chilled breaks to psychedelic chill, always with plenty of funk. Daheen has performed his live chill set to much acclaim at a number of events up and down the east coast of Australia and overseas including sunset at Regrowth '06 and '07 festivals, This Is Not Art festival, and performances in U.K, Lithuania and India. He recently released the remixed and remastered version of “Green Chillies”, his chill track "Wisdom" on the Regen Records compilation “Tree Dimensional” and “Jungle Juice (chill mix)” and “Humming Bird” on the Regen Records chill compilation “TreeCreation”.
Daheen's other passion in life is nature. He spends his days working as a bush regenerator looking after and restoring some of Sydney's finest bushland. It was therefore a great pleasure to him to be able to combine his two passions and be involved in forming the not for profit environmental organization called R.E.G.E.N (Random Evolution of Growth, Entertainment and Nature). R.E.G.E.N is a coming together of like minded musicians, DJs, environmentalists, promoters, artists and fun lovers who put on tree planting music festivals around Sydney.
The aim is to help restore a degraded area, reduce carbon, and raise the environmental consciousness while having a damn good time in the process. After four festivals and several smaller awareness raising events R.E.G.E.N has reached a massive tally of 50,000 trees planted and is getting bigger and better each year.
For more info visit www.regen.org.au. Recently an exciting new arm of R.E.G.E.N. was launched, that being Regen Records which Daheen co manages.

Ofer (and “Indoor”) also formed the “Phreaky” project together with DJ Dino Psaras. This project was responsible for the massive hit “Tornado”(Dragonfly-UK/1997). It was the first time that an Israeli piece got into the UK indie-charts and climbed up to no. 23.!
From there on, Ofer continued as a solo artist under various names: Starting with “Oforia”, he was one of the first Israeli artists to signed leading UK label – Dragonfly and the result was his debut album “Delirious”(1998), A bestseller album that based Ofer’s unique sound and made him famous world wide.
In 1999, “Oforia” released his 2nd album - “Off The Ground”. A high quality album featuring variations in Trance from psychedelic to progressive and on to ambient and even a bit of industrial. (This album was considered by many as “ahead of its time”; up to a point where only now it is being repressed and distributed by B.N.E due to constant demand).
Along the way, Ofer has remixed some of the world’s famous artists such as: Infected Mushroom, Pink Floyd, Man With No Name, Space Cat, Astral Projection and Tim Schuldt.

“Inner Twist” is Oforia’s 5th studio album and was released in 2006, it took Ofer a year to record and polish but was worth waiting for. “Inner Twist” brings a much more focused musical approach, and holds in store quite a few suprises: “Show No Mercy” together with Time Lock (a.k.a. Felix Nagorsky) who visited Ofer in his studio and this visit led to one of the most surprising collaborations the trance world has witnessed yet. “Adrenalin” together with Onyx (a.k.a Yaniv Gold). And of course “Return Of The Machines” A stunning song featuring our very own multi talent B-Wicked (a.k.a. Bertin Katz)

Wizzy Noise is a project of Micky and Uriel that hail from Greece. Both being ardent and meticulous collectors and listeners of Trance music since 1994 they immediately have fallen in love with the first waves of Goa Trance washing away by the Greek shores by the summer of 1995. A magic time for parties back then since all it was new and fresh and all music had the glittering colour of euphoric outdoor parties and revelry in the woods. After the first 2 magic years of partying, a thought and a plan of action started to formulate in our minds as our primitive cerebrum tried to so desperately to awaken with the sheer power of music that onslaught our brains in the years of 1995-98…
The duo having met in a party in Athens in the past also aided by the fact that Micky stationed in Thessaloniki during his military service (Oh yes it is also compulsory in Greece)decided to make some noise together by making a track and experimenting a bit with two synths a mixer and a couple of monitors and a DAT machine. Little they knew of the forthcoming success that was about to hit their door in short time’s notice.
After one year of mediocrity and a fact that they did not receive any kind of help by no one little by little the group became a recognized and distinguished band in the psychedelic trance scene worldwide. Always with a strictly psychedelic and full electronic sound the duo deviated a lot as years went by a fact that caused much controversy and flame in all arrays of electronic music fans. All Wizzy noise albums follow the endless cycle of evolution and rebirth of ideas, from the techno winterlands of German psy sound to the beaches of south eastern Europe the variety and depth of Wizzy noise is a spectacle to behold as our sixth consecutive album show…

Tracks like ‘Boomby Boom’ and ‘Let It Beat’ brought great variation to the dance floors.
In the September of 2004 Gataka’s second album ‘Home Made Madness’ was released and pleased eager psytrance fans.

Perplex, who is also known as Ronen Dahan, was born 1974 in Haifa, Israel. He grew up in small community near Tel Aviv. By the age of 14 he had started a small rock band, in which he played the guitar and was the lead singer. His main influences back then were Depeche Mode and other new wave artists who were all the rage at the time.
With 17 years of age, he went on his tour of Australia and Europe. When he got back to Israel. The first Techno had arrived from Northern Europe to which he felt attracted.
Shortly after, in 1993 Trance also came to the Middle East in a big way. He immediately liked this style even more. Sven Vath and the likes of Slinky Wizard gave his ears something he had never heard before. He quickly dropped the band and became a DJ collecting records from the likes of The Infinity Project and Matsuri records. By then other artists also came creeping in from Goa to Israel.
He began using DAT, since this new music was more underground on not available on vinyl. His local heroes in those days were Gay Sabag and Avi Nissim. When he was 21 years old he made his first trip to Goa. It was there that Trance Music took over his whole life and he met Riktam and Bansi (GMS) for the first time.
After that Perplex followed his dream to make music and has produced till today 9 albums and more then 3 dozen compilation’s in the main labels in the world of psy & electronic such as Spun rec, Hommega rec, BNE rec, Phonokol rec, Fineplay rec Jp, Compact rec, Utopia rec, And the list is long … In these days Perplex is producing New DVD “Around The World”, 45 min of Music and Parties from the entire world.
