Shiva Chandra

(Spirit Zone)

Hamburg, germany



Shiva Chandra is Daniel Vernunft, a musician who started in young age making music. Mainly playing the piano he learned harmony, improvisation and jazz. In the early 90«s, after a visit to Manali and a magnificent party flash his interest grew like a bush of weed. Since then he tuned his old Yamaha synth for new sounds. Topping that up with an old Atari he created his first trance.It took him almost three years to see his tracks on compilations and 12Õ. In1 996 ÒSpicy MomentsÓ was released on Spirit Zone and 18 month later the album ÒPositiveÓ.


SHIVA CHANDRA keeps up his special style of psy trance. Away from the mainstream of a rotten hot-pot by Ôtribal goaÕ, which constantly boils over Ôcos for not reducing the heat after boiling, Shiva Chandra vitamins keep fresh. ItÕs tasty put together and every tune gets new ingredients instead to stir the hot-pot over and over. Obvious are Shiva Chandra roots of ethnic sounds like flutes, vocals, percussions and more, even though he puts his accent in new direction like filtered saxophones, plucked pianostrings, and classic parts.




Shiva Chandra appeals to all those who«re searching for a sound to dance, listen and relax to...and those who put techno into a category of monoton and `bassliny` bang...bang...bang...
