*** DEEJAYRIDOO *** (Psyberpunk / Germany)

Deejayridoo originates from the psychedelic underground of the early Goadays (mid ´90s). The unforgettable trance dance experiences at the legendary Psyberpunkgatherings, surrounded and inspired by the splendour of the Swiss Alps, havehad a huge influence and were my initiation into the neo-shamanic culture.Not following any dogma or sub cultural stereotype I have always refused toadapt to any predefined truth. Rejecting any form of obedience to any kindof authority and keeping always the focus on the mystical and the magicalworld of "Psychedelia" always was my choice. I create musical journeys for the weirdest of the "weirdos". Avoidingenerving noisiness and boring monotony consequently lifts the music tolevels of playfulness and manifold realms. My gig is meant as an invitation for those who long for deep psychedelicexperiences and those who enjoy the bliss of ego nullification and theboundlessness of being which goes hand in hand with the spirit of Goa: The encounter with the being within leaving behind cultural conditioning -and thus realizing how deep the rabbit hole really is...Nothing for wussies ;)
