We Are Such Slackers

Posted on Jul 18, 2008

It has been way too long again since we have had a decent blog entry, so it's time to fix that. We have been having an incredible summer so far and it just keeps on getting better as it progresses. Norris ended up moving in with Irena and I for the months of May and June which was a total pleasure. It was awesome having him around just the good old days when he and I used to live together. I was sad to see him move out last week, but we will get to enjoy traveling together in Europe in just a few weeks (Norris, his girlfriend Nina and Irena and I are heading to Spain and Portugal for a few weeks) and he will also be my best man at my wedding on July 26th, so we get a few more days of fun together before he moves to Vancouver and I head off around the world for a year.

We have been working like mad to complete our projects before the end of July, with new mixes and heaps of new music to share at our upcoming gigs. Motion Notion is coming up this weekend and we are fully excited to be taking the wheel from Treavor Moontribe on Saturday night and playing a sunrise set, our first ever at Motion Notion. We have some really powerful tracks ready to rip and look forward to playing at an event which has always been something very special to us.

From there we will next be off to Eclipse near Montreal, where we will be playing a downtempo set, as of yet we are not sure what time that will be. I will also be playing Nokturnal set on Friday night, and now that my Zenon mix is ready for release (the date is set for September 5th) I am thinking it's a perfect slot to let loose a bunch of these fresh new Zenon gems.

Next we will be off to Boom, and I know that Norris and I are still in awe that we get to take it all in, together, and on top of that that we will be playing for 3.5 hours on the chill stage. For us this is the achievement of a HUGE goal, and it still seems surreal how it is all coming together.  As a side note we have been  getting a ton of help from both Naasko of Interchill, as well as Nilza of the Boom Ambassador staff, thanks you two for keeping us on the right track!

We plan on having our Motion Notion 2008 set up on Area709 as soon as possible, so until then I hope you enjoy the newsest mix we have up and that your summer is so far spectacular.

Peace and Light!!!

Darvin.

Boom here we come!!

Posted on Apr 1, 2008

So we just got an offer to play the Bi-Annual Boom Festival in Portugal!!

We have been offered a 3.5hr dj slot on the Ambient forest stage and we are super, super stoked to be able to share our love for the chilled out beets.

Also we will be helping out with the Limnal Village that Naasko is creating.

It will be a great adventure and we hope to see out there!

Adventures In The Future

Posted on Feb 24, 2008

It is barely even beginning to look like spring outside and already we have got some really amazing adventures planned for the upcoming summer months. This winter has been one of technical investigation and exploration as we continue to fine tune our new software and hardware platforms, and thankfully progress has been made and we are really looking forward to finally being able to perform using 8 stereo channels from our two laptops.

We have both been working on our own solo music careers this winter, putting together the first release on Area709 Records (Anahata- Conduktor), a dj mix / compilation release for Zenon Records of Australia, writing the Canada page of the Trancer's Guide to the Galaxy, doing a monthly top-ten chart for the psytrance section on the largest digital download site on the internet: Beatport, and becoming BOOM Ambassadors to Canada

So far our summer performance schedule includes: Shadow Fx North American Tour (Calgary, April 5), Motion Notion (Near Edmonton, July 17-20) Eclipse Festival (Quebec, Aug 1-4), and possibly Boom 2008 (Portugal, Aug 11-18). Needless to say we are really excited about how the summer is shaping up!
