Psych0tron - Deadbeat Productions - Madison, Wisconsin

DJ psych0tron (aka b0b Hensley) is a dark electronic DJ currently residing in Madison, WI. He has been bringing aggressive dance beats to various parts of Wisconsin since 1999, getting his start co-founding, promoting, and DJing what was Wisconsin's only all-ages goth/industrial night of the time (Kaos @ The Kage).

Tim Clark - Independent - St. Louis, Missouri

During the year of 1998 Tim started to get involved with Electronic Dance Music. Attending the weekly events at the Cheetah Club in downtown St.Louis, he was exposed to the some of the best local and national From Frankie Bones, Josh Wink, Juan Atkins, John Acquaviva, Nigel Richards, and Dan. On November 17, 1999 he attended my first Underground Event at the Lemp Brewery. He was esmerized by the sounds pumped out by the local St. Louis Dj's, Foster, Dankskii, Nitro, Stan Doublin, Hypo, Dan Efex. This lead him to dive head first into djing, dancing and buying vinyl. This is a rare psytrance set from Tim... Couldn't ask for a better opener.


Derby - Chilluminati / TOUCH Samadhi - Chicago, Illinois

In his life as a traveler, Derby came upon the sounds of psychedelica in Europe. Settling soon thereafter in Chicago, he became a resource that pulled those with similar musical tastes together. Derby has since proven to positively affect the Midwest Psy/Goa music scene by being a driving force behind Touch Samadhi &amp a founding member of The Chilluminati. You can expect to hear a skillful set of funky melodic soundscaping electronica.


Geist - djgeist.com / 217mafia.com - Champaign-Urbana, Illinois

DJ Geist has kept a pair of technics turntables nearby and accessible for close to a decade. When he moved to Paris for a year, he boxed up his decks, stuffed them in a duffel bag, and had to keep refreshing the timer on a train station locker while he searched for a place to live. He got his first exposure to drum and bass checking out Hive's Konkrete Jungle nights in Los Angeles, which is the town where he also saw legends like LTJ Bukem, Grooverider, Kemistry, and Storm. His record collection is immense and he is a regular DJ and strong supporter of the electronic music scene in Urbana-Champaign (ucdnb.com), where he is now a teacher and aspiring professional philosopher.

Live mixes by DJ Geist always feature the latest upfront drum and bass tunes, but he also strives to incorporate older classics and overlooked gems into his sets. Whether it is oldschool hardcore jungle techno, smooth drum and bass, bombastic anthems, or tech-stepping rollers, DJ Geist knows the score and wants you to let go and enjoy yourself. DJ Geist especially loves supporting underground electronic events, which he considers the last bastion for non-commercial creativity for manipulators of futuristic beats! His first appearance within the psychedelic scene is sure to bring atmospheric, fluid drum ‘n bass to help you chillax along the way.

Man this shit was a fuckin sweet time. Not a huge turnout but i dont think iv ever been to a party with such a sweet vibe. Deco was amazing and hella trippy. Chillout area outside with the bonfire and hookah were a great compliment to the venue.. and oh yea the sweet psytrance blastin all night didnt hurt either

Guessin bounce went well cuz there was maybe 5 people that came down from chicago tops. Lots from Bloomington and Iowa City, which is apparantly where the core of chilluminati resides

Im headed back home to the burbs for the summer.. cya at the green party!
