Jota

Jota is the Artist and DJ name of Jonathan Fisher. Now based in Australia, this Canadian born Psy-Trance Artist has been part of the global
movement for quite some time. After spending several months in Tokyo in 1996 he was introduced to his first Goa-Trance experience...a mind expanding experience that made Jonathans direction clear! Previously a bass player and producer of harder edged rock music, the evolution from guitar based music to electronic was a natural progression. DJing began the following year using the name Fisher, with Deliria Productions.

Nacho Vegas

Self-described as a rock-singer-songwriter, Nacho Vegas blends the polyhedric language of rock and the most stark lyricism into an intense whole. His lyrics are painful and celebratory, pathetic and grand, brutally lucid and of an intimate beauty; a desperate philosophy of survival shines with a wicked sense of humour and a longing for the divine. Nacho Vegas has been a prominent figure in the Spanish 'indie' scene since his work with Eliminator Jr, Manta Ray; bands influenced by Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and other similar avant-rock acts of the early 90's.
