ALLABY (Nano Records UK) : Hailed by a well known trance critic/website as “One of the producers who will save psy trance” from the mundane formula driven music-making that has been plagueing Psy Trance, Allaby is without a doubt one of the most exciting live acts to come out of the UK in the last few years and along with his masterful touch in the studio is causing a stir wherever he goes. Allaby deepens the experience on every dancefloor he touches, with his truly unique brand of daytime-full-on meets deep driving power grooves. Much in demand at the the best festivals around the globe he's recently rocked the Glade and Glastonbury festivals (UK), Sonica (IT), Voov (DE), Ozora (HU), Taz (Israel), Rainbow Serpent(Australia), Kabbalah and Universo Parallelo (Brazil) amongst many others. The Allaby live set is a real psy-trance journey not to be missed. Watch out for his debut album on NANO later this year. www.myspace.com/allaby

Atomic Culture (Yoyo, BNE Israel/ SA): The collaboration of one of Israel's biggest acts, Atomic Pulse, and South Africa's biggest Psy Trance export, Protoculture, Atomic Culture is one act that is sure to ring the right bells when it comes to full-power sunshine-drenched dancefloor mayhem! With these 2 hugely succesful crowd pleasers in the mix who could expect anything but the best!

ATOMIC PULSE (YoyoRecords / BNE, Israel): Not needing any introduction to any trancer over the age of 5, Atomic Pulse has ventured to our sunny shores a number of times before and rocked it everytime. Having just finished his 4th album, set for release soon on Yoyo/Bne, Atomic Pulse has secured himself firmly on the top of the pile of Israeli Trance alongside some of the biggest names. Already almost fully booked up for all of 2008, Atomic Pulse is an act too important to miss. www.myspace.com/atomicpulselabs

MAXI / Flourelysium (Germany) One of the leading figures in Psychedelic festival and party décor worldwide for over a decade, Maxi is a true original, having created psy landscapes, portals and immersive artworks at countless major psy trance events. Having just completed a completely new series, designed specifically for the style of décor most favoured by South African trancefloors, Maxi will also be bringing another of his sets which has never been seen in SA before to compliment the new series. There is no doubt partygoers will be locked into an alternative visual reality like never before.

Anyone who remembers their original 'wha'heydays knows what to expect, just like the good ole' days...only updated.
