Freshold

Accomplished producer and DJ, Freshold burst onto the dance music scene earlier this year with his explosive track entitled "Bring It On" (due for release on Control Breaks in January 2007). He has since completed a remix of "Brazillian Love Affair" by George Duke vs E-S/L and has more remixes for the likes of Subsource and Dead Famous Records to follow. Whilst freshold's been producing material for his impending onslaught on the scene, he's also been infiltrating the bowels of the underground music industry by systematically devastating the dancefloors of the UK's most prestigious venues. Many of the most established and secure of locations, together with their finest residents and guests, have already crumbled in the face of his awesome vinyl, CD and laptop based beat weaving skills. Finally, transmissions have been intercepted containing disturbing evidence to suggest that Freshold is plotting to recruit and train a splinter cell that will be called to execute overnight operations in the form of reguar club events in the south.

DJ Tristan

I started producing trance in 1993 after a long trip around asia, when i was turned on to the psychedelic movement in goa and koh phan gan, during the next decade i have collaborated with some amazing artists and made some lasting friendships; manmademan, process, hallucinogen, serge, dimitri, dick trevor, laughing buddha, aphid moon, gms, and many many more crazy and wonderful characters. i joined forces with twisted records in 1996 and released my first single with them 'martian arts'. Since then i have never looked back, in my mind they are a label that exudes 'quality', and is a label of the highest quality. i released "audiodrome" and "substance", dj'ed the "twisted sessions:vol 1", and am now nearing completion of my third, and in my opinion best work, in the solo album: "Chemisphere". It has been a bit of a labour of love, taking quite a lot longer than i anticipated but working hard on the production, arrangement, and vibe has been well worthwhile.

Psymmetrix

Psymmetrix are 28 year old Alastair Crowther and 31 year old Richie Elmes, both Yellow Star Geminis from the South East of England. They have been writing music together now for almost two years, after initially deciding to formulate a live "versus" set in December 2004, their conflicting musical styles brought about the synthesis of a new collaboration, that month they slaved in the studio with the newly born twin headed monster to create their first 7 tracks which met with great success at their début in the Liquid Connective Trance Room at Liquid Futures, December 31st 2004. They bring 18 years of a love of trance music and dancefloor mayhem to their live sets, which have been tearing apart the London squat and party scene and after headlining the Liquid stage at the 2004 Glade festival, and ripping up dancefloors around the globe this summer these two have developed quite a following. Be careful with what they give you to drink!
