Interview with Psytrance Giants Zetan Spore

With Waveform festival coming this September, Parallel PR have been kind enough to send us this interview with psytrance giants and Waveform performers Zetan Spore, who I’ve had the pleasure to stomp to numerous times when I lived down in Cornwall where they’re based. Excellent words – even better beats. Hope to see you at Waveform!

One of the most loved and respected acts on the UK festival scene is the live Psytrance duo Zetan Spore. The Cornish twins Ian (Synths /Programming) and Mark (Guitars/Didgeridoo) Hasdell, have been plying their trade around Europe and the world since 1997, headlining at gigs such as Antiworld and Synergy Project, with top slots at festivals including Waveform, Sunrise, and Bearded Theory, the highlight being a cracking performance in front of 25000 at Euphoria in Singapore. With nine albums under their belts, these talented Geminis are as prodigious in the ‘studio’ as they are on the circuit. Their pumping, energetic Psytrance is instantly recognisable, often because of Mark’s unique use of the didgeridoo, which adds a haunting, tribal element to their sound.

The guys took some time out of their busy schedule to have a quick chat with Parallel PR about….stuff.

Parallel: Did you both realise that music was going to be a major part of your lives at the same time, and how young were you?

Zetan S: Yeah, kind of – Mark started playing bass and then didgeridoo when he moved away from the South-east to Plymouth in the late 80’s, while I stayed up there doing vocals in a band and then later experimenting with keyboards and electronics. After moving to Cornwall there was a space of a few years before I started back on electronic music and Zetan Spore was born in 1995. Mark joined about a year later playing didgeridoo and also learnt guitar. After our first gig in 1997 we realised it was what we really wanted to do and the rest is history as they say.

Parallel: Who were your EARLIEST influences?

Zetan S: Our dad got us into Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre in the mid 80’s. In the late 80’s we got into space rock – Hawkwind , The Magic Mushroom Band, Porcupine Tree, Poisoned Electrick Head and the like and then early dance acts such as Astralasia and then Eat Static in the early 90’s. When psychedelic trance came around for the first time in the mid 90’s we were off!

Parallel: Has the didgeridoo been part of Zetan Spore since the very beginning?

Zetan S: It’s cheating, we know, but see the first answer….hah!

Parallel: Yes, then. OK. Next please. Although live psytrance is your very enjoyable ‘business’, what OTHER genres of music do you enjoy as listeners?

Zetan S: All sorts – I’m still well into Space Rock and other forms of psychedelic music and I still love my Punk and Ska – I listen to nearly all genres – everything has a time and place depending on ya mood. Mark is more into his progressive Psy and Psy Dub/Chill.

Parallel: Who else do you enjoy on the Psy scene at the moment?

Zetan S: Still loving people such as Talpa, Commercial Hippies, Mad Maxx, Eat Static, etc., but haven’t heard anything THAT mindblowing come out on the trance scene for a while – tend to keep going back to acts such as Wizzy Noise, Electric Universe, Talamasca, Cosmosis, Juno Reactor and the like. Loving the Psy Breaks scene though – can’t beat a bit of Hedflux, Bad Tango or Neurodriver to get the dancefloor going.

Parallel: You’ve played hundreds of gigs since ’97. Do you prefer a crowd of 25,000 like Euphoria, a smaller festival like Waveform, or the intimacy of a club/room?

Zetan S: We love them all – Euphoria was a bit daunting but awesome, we really enjoy the UK festivals, especially Waveform, Alchemy, Bearded Theory, etc., and still love doing smaller, more intimate gigs where you’re right down with the action rather than up on a big stage.

Parallel: You appear regularly at several festivals, what is it about Waveform that brings you back year after year?

Zetan S: The atmosphere at Waveform is the best of any festival we’ve been to, it’s so uplifting – we always come away with aching faces and fucked knees! I suppose it helps that we seem to know half the people there too!

Parallel: That’s how we feel about Waveform too. Do you spend as much time in the studio as you’d like, or don’t you like the studio much?

Zetan S: (IAN) My flat is my studio so I’ve got no choice! I like to be comfortable when writing, so I’ve set everything up so I can work from my sofa. It tends to take about one and a half to two months for us to write a track in between gigging, rehearsing and the admin side of things – I’d like to spend more time writing and experimenting but there’s just not enough hours in the day. When everything’s coming together in the studio it’s a great feeling – we love creating something and imagining what it’s gonna be like on the dancefloor – I often find myself drawing the curtains and busting it up to check that the section I’m sequencing all works properly!

Parallel: Do you have any projects on the go as we speak?

Zetan S: I’ve just finished our latest track “Tribalistics” and have one more left to write (probably starting next week) before we release our next (9th) album. By the time you read this it may already be done – we’re hoping for a Spring release so we can hit the festivals with it over the Summer. Mark’s busy putting the finishing touches to his second Lunarsonic album also due for release this Spring – you’ll be able to catch both at this year’s Waveform!

Parallel: And finally, what are your long term plans for Zetan Spore?

Zetan S: More gigs and festivals all over the World – we want to take Zetan Spore to as many different countries as possible and party with as many different psy tribes as we can, and still be doing it in another 20 or 30 years’ time!

Parallel: Brilliant, guys. Thanks a million for taking the time to answer our questions. We wish you every success, and if we don’t catch you somewhere beforehand, we’ll definitely see you at Waveform in September.

Zetan Spore will be appearing at Cat’s Cradle Stage at Waveform 2013. Mark’s Lunarsonic will be playing the Gaia Chill Stage at the same festival.

Audiomatrixx

Biography

It's not difficult to see that this project is a collaboration between Audiomatic (Benjamin Halfman) and Magnetrixx (Stefan Lewin). Due to their own individual releases, both artists have made themselves known on national and international levels.

They first met at Leviathan Studios when Stefan was working on his first releases. Benni was already an established DJ playing many parties in Germany. He became fascinated with the producing and music creation Stefan was doing and started learning how to do it himself. During a time apart, Benni honed the skills Stefan taught him and when they finally came back together Stefan was so impressed with how much Benni had learned they spontaneously created a track together. Eventually, they joined forces and started the project Audiomatrixx. Those familiar with the artists' individual works know what to expect: nice, driving beats with power-grooves for a packed dance floor.

They immediately gained fans after releasing three tracks for various compilations. After two years of hard work in the studio the long awaited debut album is finally ready. The album has a unique sound and positive vibe that explores a lot of nice musical ideas featuring a mixture of old analog synths and new self programmed software synths. The album is already being presented at major festivals in Austria, Brazil, Denmark, and Germany.

The band's philosophy is to continuously nurture and push each other's ability fertilizing each other's creativity to make the most intricate and mind blowing music they possibly can together. They live to travel the world and see their music affect crowds of people by making them dance and smile at the same time. They consider the ultimate success when people love what they are doing while they focus their passion like a laser. They don't worry too much about outside influences, concentrating instead on constantly making their sound better and better, putting everything on the line and expressing their own feelings and ideas to the people of the world.

Audiomatrixx is perpetuated by two minds, hearts, and souls to make the world a better place through the drive to create something that can be felt deep down on a primal level where pleasure and joy forces you to move your body to the beats they lovingly create.

Krama Band

Biography

Behind "Krama" project is Dimitris Violitzis from Thessaloniki - Greece.
He started producing electronic music in 2001 after a lot of experiments in various styles, including experimental, i.d.m., classical etc.
Dimitris is a certified music technologist,sound designer,and programmer and also running his progressive house project "Randay".

His main vision is to create a style of music, accessible to every ear, regardless one's music background.
The word Krama is Greek and means the mix of metals which can be translated as different styles that can be mixed to give one unique result that you can hear in the most known labels of Trance scene, such as: Zillion Mental Anarchy, Yellow Sunshine Explotion, Spin Twist Records, Vertikal Records, Savva Records and Midijum Records.
Debut album "Terra Nova" released in the summer of 2008 from Vertikal Records was the first approach to a new sound, with techno-trance elements yet trancy feeling.

The album got the attention of more commercial trance dj's & listeners.
Most of the tracks have been played by big names of commercial trance scene and have been in airplays of global radios for months. But that was not the path to be followed.

Raised in psy-trance dancefloors since teen, he knew what was missing and he just had to make it real.
In October of 2009 in cooperation with one of the biggest psy-prog labels, Spin Twist Records, the dream became reality.

It started like a slow burning bomb but good things can't stay hidden for long periods.
Soon he started touring across Europe with his ex parter.

The vision became reality and he just had to share this music with every possible way, from the smallest to the biggest clubs, to the best open air festivals of the continent.

People's feedback was the best way to know that he were on the right path and he had to continue NO MATTER WHAT.
After a year and a half, during May of 2011 the 3rd studio album appears like a musical odyssey.
Together with the grinding, organic bass sounds, which float 'Across The Sea' like a golden thread, it becomes pretty clear why "Krama" appropriately describe his music style as 'Power Progressive Trance'.

We're talking about fun in the sun and dancing under the stars. Hiking on peaceful trails and gettin' your down dog on at the top of the mountain. Sipping poolside cocktails with your friends, and then enjoying a tasty farm-to-table dinner with views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Early morning meditations and all-night chakra spinning musical performances -- it's an all-out ecstatic celebration in the most awe-inspiring locations in the world. So what's a day like at Wanderlust? Wake up to crisp mountain air and morning sunshine in your mountainside condo, throw a couple of items in your daypack, and join dozens of fellow attendees for one of Wanderlust's signature morning meditation hikes. If you have kids with you, no problem -- drop your children off at the Wanderkind kids' program before you head out. After your hike, cruise for some handcrafted goodness in the vendor village, grab a quick snack from one of our local & organic food vendors, and then hop into yoga class with one of your favorite teachers in a stunning outdoor classroom. After class, reward yourself with a delicious meal from one of our on-site restaurants. Have a seat in our outdoor food co-op, grab a cup of tea in our tea house, and stroll over to our Speakeasy venue, where you can listen to a fascinating lecture by one of our many speakers. In the afternoon, you might check out some of the live music at our Casbah stage, rock an afternoon yoga class, go kayaking down the local river, hit the trails with your mountain bike, or ride the free cable car up to the top of the mountain to kick it poolside with your crew. As the sun sets, head over to Winederlust and sample a variety of biodynamic and organic wines from local vineyard, then take your appetite up the mountain to the Farm to Table Dinner. After dinner, you could sit back and enjoy a film at the Soulful Cinema, walk around the festival grounds to check out the eclectic art installations, or get your dance on at the Wanderlust main stage. And if you're still looking for more, Wanderlust's late night DJ dance parties go until 2 am. Eventually, you'll fall into your comfy bed -- but the best part is that another adventure awaits in the morning. Whatever you do, the choice is all yours. That's Wanderlust.

Melbourne Shuffler - Main Documentary

Underground Epidemic Productions (www.uep.com.au) has produced a ground breaking documentary called the "Melbourne Shuffler". Beginning in the late 80's in Melbourne's underground party scene, a revolutionary freestyle dance began to grow and has now developed into the most unique and robust dance style since the birth of Breakdancing.

Initially grown from the roots of Acid Techno/House music along with back stepping and psychedelic arm movements. The Melbourne Shuffle has no set steps but encourages individuality and imagination, incorporating dance moves from numerous styles such as miming, popping & locking, liquid and breaking. But the basis of the Melbourne Shuffle has traditionally been the footwork either performed sliding left to right, on the spot or in a triangular direction, but is evolving everyday.

Known as "Rocking" to the Melbourne locals the name Melbourne Shuffle has been derived from international DJs, overseas visitors and the media trying to describe this phenomenon.

The Melbourne dancers don't dance for competition or to show off but for themselves, for fun and self-expression.

Learning by watching other dancers and incorporating variations into their own style they create an individual style representing their own personality.

The documentary traces some of the early beginnings of the Shuffle and shows how it has evolved and progressed into what it is today.

Interviews with Melbourne's dancers old and new; discover why they dance, how they learned and what they get out of it!

To capture the Melbourne scene in its entirety the UEP team also interviewed lighting crews, party organizers, VJ's and promoters to encapsulate all angles in which run together within the rave/electronic music dance community. The interviews featured also include homegrown DJ's/Producers along with internationals, learning their thoughts on the rave/electronic music dance scene, Melbourne's scene and the Melbourne Shuffle.

Melbourne based talent alone has produced the uniquely sounding "Melbourne Shuffler" soundtrack. It contains various styles of electronic music including: Acid Techno, Hard Trance, Hard Dance, Hard House, Psy-Trance, Break-beats and more. Therefore this DVD contains the Melbourne Scene, the Melbourne Shuffle & the Melbourne Sound and is loaded with over 200 minutes of special features.

Eclipsed

Non-narrative documentary about the total solar eclipse, celebrated at the Soulclipse gathering in Antalya, Turkey.

The piece is a collage of images from travels through Turkey, culminating in the eclipse itself.

This is a single-channel edit of the original 3 channel piece. It's 45 minutes long vs. the original which is 30 minutes, in order to accommodate all the extra material.

Eat Static

Biography

Eat Static were formed in 1989 by Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton, then drummer and synth player respectively for the band Ozric Tentacles. They were joined by Steve Everitt, a library musician and occasional Ozric member. The band made a name for themselves on the Megadog/'live' techno scene of the early '90s, playing alongside the likes of Orbital, Underworld and Aphex Twin.

They were the first signings to Megadog-offshoot Planet Dog records, releasing their debut album 'Abduction' in 1993. In 1994 Steve Everitt retired from the group's live performances, though he has continued to collaborate in the studio. Since then the band have played hundreds of gigs worldwide and become one the most respected and spectacular live dance acts around. They have been voted 'Best Dance Act' in the NME, achieved a top twenty album, headlined the first dance tent at Glastonbury in 1995 and recorded two Peel sessions. Whilst essentially a sci-fi influenced, trance/techno outfit, they have also incorporated drum and bass, breakbeat, latin, garage and ambient styles into their sound at various stages. In the past few years the band have become heavily involved with the psy-trance scene, playing parties and festivals the world over and releasing numerous tracks on trance compilations.

Merv has also recently collaborated with the likes of Steve Jolliffe (Tangerine Dream), Will White (Propellerheads) and Simon Posford (Hallucinogen). In addition, Joie plays with Here & Now, Zubzub (with ex-Ozrics bassist Zia) and Dream Machine (alongside former Ozric flautist Jumping John). Both Joie and Merv also occasionally play live with Ozrics leader Ed Wynne under the guise of Nodens Ictus and have recently been playing with the Ozrics again. Eat Static released their long-awaited new album 'De-Classified' through ..Solstice Music.. in July 2007. In February 2008 it was announced that Joie would be leaving the group in order to spend more time with his family. Now going it alone, Merv released a downtempo Eat Static album entitled 'Back to Earth' in July 2008, followed by a string of festival appearances.

The next project will be the 20th Anniversary album plus a break-beat orientated album under the name Dendron (the follow up to 2003's 'Supernatural Jazz').Mesmobeat has also sprung back into life and Merv will be releasing a string of other people's work,the first being Groovuscule with his album 'Theatre'..

Stratil

Soundexile

Biography

Formed in december 2006, the guys had a clear idea of what they wanted...not to sound like anyone else.
..
In an era, where cloned copies are made of each successful producer,where music lost it´s soul, just to become a mere income, these guys have the nerve to state: “... we´re not gonna sound like anyone else, we won´t stick to formulas, and we´ll make music for the fun of it, and for everyone to enjoy...”
..
And that´s exactly what they´re doing.

One track may have minimal influences, while the other borders techno, some will be sung, some will be downtempo , and some will be just pure experimentation.

This attitude has made them some nice friends in the music industry, such as Hernan Cattáneo, Sasha, Satoshi Tomiie, Laurent Garnier, Anthony Pappa, Nick Warren, Ben Watt & Oliver Klein to name but a few.

Also, prestigious record labels such as Urbantorque, Triptik, Sprout & Kumquat Tunes have released several of their tracks, and some of them made it into Beatport´s Top 10 chart.

Most recently, the duo worked alongside Hernan Cattaneo on 6 tracks for his new Masters Series album on Renaissance. Some of those songs will surface on Hernan Cattaneo´s own label, Sudbeat.

This year will also see the guys work on a full album to be played live with 2 laptops, 2 controllers, assorted fx & keyboards and a drum pad, for those Terry Bozio moments.

As the guys themselves state in their website: “... we could bore you with why we chose Soundexile as our name, but we know that in the end, the music is the only thing that matters. We put our hearts and souls into each song, and we benefit from the diversity of influences each one of us has, to break the barriers of genre and style, and make a different type of electronica.

Incolumis

Biography

Incolumis is Jani Rantanten, finnish electronic music producer with very distinctive dark and underground style.

Born 23 Sep 1981 and raised in Finland, Incolumis is an active participant in the international electronic music scene. He currently produces music under three different aliases (Incolumis, Outgate & Yaraform), participating in two on-line labels (Starfleet Records & Sublogic Corporation), as well as being signed to and producing original music for Black Tiger Recordings (BTR), Nth Degree Records vinyl releases published by Nice Kitty Music Entertainment Ltd. in Canada and the United States, also having production released on famous John ‘00’ Fleming label J00F.

In the summer of 2001, after almost five years of composing and producing, Incolumis took his music to the next level by building a professional music studio from which the massive tracks “At the Gates”, “North Stone”, “Karma”, “Tsunami” and many others were created.

Later on in 2006 his production “One with Sanctuary” got to Armin van Buuren himself and apperead in his regular radioshow A State Of Trance. Having played it twice in his show, he confessed, “I’m not doing many charts, but if I had a chance to make a chart, this would definitely be my number one at the moment”. In the spring of 2006 “One with sanctuary” was featured on A State Of Trance yearly compilation.

Jani also collaborated to establish two other dance-orientated projects Raastin and Dualfire with Antti Lampinen.
