Lineup:

Primordial Ooze - Divine Balance Records - Chicawaukee *3-Hour Live Set*

The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ's Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. as an experiment in genetic sound programming and nano-acoustic engineering:

Self-replicating and mutating algorithms, swarms of frequencies that collaborate, breed and communicate, flourish in an environment of artificial selection and continual evolution. Currently working on two albums this energetic live act is continuously expand/collapseing their farm of pet-frequencies with various sonic creatures. These lively pets can cause serious mayhem on the dancefloor! But with properly tied shoes, participants are generally safe and happy.

DJ SorceryKid - IDG Productions - Chambana *3-Hour Live + DJ*

For over eight years, Randall has been actively involved in the C-U dance music scene, between engineering sound and lighting for various concerts to routinely spinning at local club nights. With samplers, drum machines, and turntables in hand, Randall enjoys reworking incarnations of hard-hitting EBM, oldskool industrial, new wave classics, and 80s goth rock infused with his trademark arsenal of live remixing and mashup tricks. Randall has held past weekly residencies at Mike & Molly's Bar (2001-2002), at Chester Street Bar (2005-2006), and at former Club E'llusions (2007) in Champaign. Currently he spins industrial-electronic dance each Monday at Chester Street Bar.

With his technical background in nightclub sound reinforcement and DMX intelligent lighting combined with his passion for mixing electronic music in a high-energy dance environment, he endeavors to open Champaign's first underages video dance club, The Zone Nightclub.

Mr. Roboto - Chilluminati - Chicago *Extended DJ Set*

Robert Houchin aka Mr. Roboto is a force majeure to full-on morning trance. Starting out in various garage bands, he yearned for something more. Something crunchy. When he stumbled upon the Trance Psyndicate in their underground bomb shelter sessions, he immediately knew where he wanted to take his music. Originally from a one-horse town in central Illinois, he now resides in big-ass Chicago. He has launched his own label, Psynaptic Records, and has been hard at work with original material in the studio.

Aktif - Mind Outpsyde - Iowa City

He is a warm and wild psy slinger from the nether regions of the known cosmos. Origionally from the Ukraine, he was "trance"-planted into the dark fields of PsyOwa where he propegates waves of devious and meniacle sonic healing. He bears gifts of swirling psychedellia, wrapped in a myriad of patterns and arrays of soundscapes. He DJs and produces psychedelic trance. He's a perpetual student of life's teachings. He is psychedelic, he is unique, he is funny. He likes things that make him laugh. He likes to laugh, and is dying to meet you!

Zero SiX - Chilluminati / Eo Somnium - Bloomington *Extended DJ Set*

Zero Six has been involved in the electronic music scene since the nineties and began DJing psychedelic trance in 2001. One of the masterminds behind the groundbreaking Illogical Productions Crew and central Illinois' Trance Psyndicate, he continues to break ground with the mythodical and pulsing waves of energy that make up the path to the iridescent dreamscapes created within his internal Department of Psychoactivity. As the creator of the Eo Somnium concept group, there are no signs of slowing down in his future.

Damon - Chillumafia - Chicago *Extended Chillout Set*

Listening to music is never enough. Damon continues to slather you within a seamless intervention of psymbient, downtempo, dub & world music. Within his love of melody tribal elements he dives into all timelines, releasing a blend of articulately chosen worldly sounds. Listening to music is never enough.

Robyo - Chillumafia - Chicago *Extended Chillout Set*

Robyo is devoted to the psychadelic sounds of chill-out and trance music. His dj sets are a journey through a land of tribal beats, acidic melodies, and dubby basslines. Inspired by the techniques of vibration therapy as a tool for healing the planet, he often incorporates live didjeridoo and hand drums into the mix.

Abrahm - Mind Outpsyde - Iowa City

Born in St.Paul, Minnesota... arriving at the University of Iowa to study Biology and Medicine with aspirations of becoming a neurosurgeon... in addition to a seven year history of classical piano lessons and recitals...

Abrahm is not only filled with relevant knowledge about the Universe, but also with a strong musical understanding and background. Applying every bit of brain potential possible while behind the decks, Abrahm's sets are one of sheer power and energy. Combining his deep understanding of the physical world with his desire to make a positive impact in this Universe, Abrahm sends waves of positive energy coursing throughout the dance floor. This positive intention, this high level of positive energy, is the reason Abrahm can whip dance floors into such a ferocious frenzy. Leaving a crater of positive impact wherever he performs, this Psyentist is devoted to cleansing your mind and body with some of the most stimulating Psychedelic Trance currently available. Hold on for the ride, as this up-and-coming musician stimulates a massively synchronized action potential within the neural networks of all dance floor inhabitants!

After being on the other side of the decks at a few parties, it's his turn to show the dancefloor what he's got. His love of powerful, high energy music combined with dark, twisted sounds is sure to warp your brainwaves into psychedelic euphoria.

DJ DeadGuy AKA Mike Cox was first exposed to the dark rhythms of industrial music at the age of 17. He then moonlighted as security at a Honolulu goth/industrial club during his early 20's. Since late 2006, he has spun old-school industrial, EBM, coldwave, and aggrotech with DJ HaLÃ˜N.
