Shakti Collective invites you to join in celebration for the beauty of May blossom season with an incredible lineup of homemade Canadian talent.
COSMIC ORGASM (Dream Records, Montreal) - LIVE!
Cosmic orgasm is a duo project from Orbit and 1.61805.They have started two years ago, sharing ideas and technique. By uniting computer and hardware generated music, they focused on doing an incredible and one-of-a-kind live act. From dark full on to pure psy-trance, their music is like rolling thunder on a vast and endless space feild.
NEXUS 7 (Substance Recordings, Toronto) - Live!
The Nexus7 is Steve Chan, a performer, producer and remixer. At an early age, Steve began his musical training by playing both classical and world instruments. However, he always found a deep connection to electronic music. After spending a number of years in the U.K., Steve was inspired by live PA performers such as Lab4, K90, Nu Idol, and Captain Tinrib to begin to create what has become The Nexus7. Now based out of his home town of Toronto, Canada, The Nexus7 is described on Ektoplazm.com as “a fresh act rising from the underground featuring a tight blend of trance styles, both hard and psychedelic”. The past few years have seen the evolution of his studio into a technological mix of software and hardware synths and gear. This has given him the ability to take his music in new directions and to greater depths. Over the past year, The Nexus7 live show has had great success, playing at events by Braincell Productions, Ektoplazm, at Darkrave and with Bizune Audio at the Tokyo CyberMonster Party2. Each one hour, continuous set has its own flavour. The show is in a constant state of evolution, as Steve is always writing and adding new material to the set. With real synths played and tweaked, and with real-time control over a multitude of parameters, each performance becomes a unique experience.
