Lurk
Lurk is 28 and has been listening to electronic music since his first party, an Orb album
launch party in 1993; he discovered psytrance about a year and a half after that and
bought decks in '96, initially because all the best music was on vinyl. When vinyl started
to die out, he invested in cdj's and went on from there. Lurk's taste in music covers a
large section of psytrance, from progressive morning music to screaming, dark night music.
What he plays at a party depends very much on what time it is, and the mood of the crowd.
His favourite psy is anything that is bouncey, groovy, and if it puts a smile on the faces
of the dancers, so much the better. He definitely won't play anything that sounds too much
like techno ;o)
Lurk started playing out in 1999 at Boom! records
label parties, and went on to be booked at parties all over Holland. After being made an
official Boom! Records label DJ in 2003, bookings started coming in from overseas. In the
last 18 months he has played club gigs in the UK for 180Degrees (twice) and Planet Shroom,
outdoor gigs in India and plenty of both in Australia, as well as having a regular guest
slot on Sydney's biggest, independent radio station, FBi. He has also played in the
Germany and Sweden. He has supported acts like Eskimo, Protoculture, Vibrasphere,
Rastaliens, Mindfield, Dick Trevor, SunControlSpecies, Fractal Glider, Misted Muppet and
Legohead.

Aurora
 
Aurora comes from the wild and frozen north of Sweden, the land of flying moose and
home-brewed vodka (apparently one can't exist without the other ;-). She has an
instinctive ear for the music and a natural technique (for mixing!), as well as a woman's
intuition for reading the dance floor. Aurora likes to play music that keeps you bouncing
with a smile on your face. She'll play the music that most suits the dance floor at the
time, full on or progressive, it doesn't matter; it just depends on what the crowd want at
the time. The one thing that she will bring to her sets every time is the sense that
you've been taken on a journey without leaving the dancefloor.
Aurora represents a Mexican Label,
Maia Records and in the last 12 months has played gigs in Holland, Goa, Australia, England,
Germany and Sweden, supporting acts such as Hux Flux, Scorb, Dick Trevor and Fractal
Glider.

Started playing school parties at the age of 12. And it's all been downhill since
then. Even played at a wedding...Reincarnating from gOoSe and PsyGimp Comes the pathetic
attempt at a come-back under the unoriginal name 'Gustavo'. This time being very selective
limiting myself to: experimental, world, electro, lounge, ambient, chill out, progressive
& psytrance.
