The Shakti Collective presents a fun in the sun for Canada Day weekend, partying during the day on the roof top in our urban jungle, pounding some psychaedelic beats
Shaktivism 2:
Canada Day Fest in the City
YAB-YUM Live (Peak Records, Switzerland
AJJA Live (Peak Records, Switzerland)

Ajja & Gaspard make up these psychadelic warriors. In 1998 Gaspard came in for a tattoo in Ajjas shop and they became fast friends. They have performed at festivals and parties around the world and helped launched Peak Records in 2003- Switzerlands first psy-trance label! Performing together they quickly discovered their high compatibility between Gaspard & Ajja ranging from very similar tastes in music to humour, partying & psychedelic philosophy. The next logical step was the formation of their own live act: Yab-Yum. Logic was bought, laptops were tuned up & they got down to business: Ajja bringing his knowledge of instruments and frequencies and Gaspard, a strong sense of dance-floor dynamics from his experience as a DJ & sound engineer. This combination produces a strong psychedelic dance oriented sound with musical sensitivity. They will bring both their live acts to the roof tops of Toronto!
Bush Telegraph Live (BLA, Toronto)
http://www.myspace.com/bushtelegraph
After a year's hiatus, and the smoke finally cleared from their studio, Sketi and Blake decided it was time to resurrect Bush Telegraph, a project dedicated to producing cryptic ethno-organic tones, fat grooves, and pounding acid beats. Maybe it was due to the time that had passed, or maybe it was a result of the THC in their blood, but only after revisiting their tunes more than a year after the fact did they remember what they had actually written. Each brings something that balances the other's talents, from musical inspiration to DJ and studio experience. 2007 marks the rebirth of one of Canada's most slamming underground psychedelic acts.
DJ Lauryn (Peak Records, New York)
http://www.myspace.com/djlauryn
Lauryn began studying classical violin when she was nine years old. Her love of music led her to begin DJing and producing her own psytrance radio show while attending college in upstate New York. In 2002, after graduating, Lauryn moved back to Boston where she helped start Psyforia, a monthly psy event that runs to this day. Lauryn is a label dj with Peak Records (www.peakrec.com) based in Switzerland and is also affiliated with NYC based 28thday (www.28thday.com) and Texas based Mistical Productions (www.mistprodonline.com). In the past six years, Lauryn has played across the United States and in Europe, sharing the stage with many well known international acts. She is known for her energetic night time funky full-on psychedelic sets as well as the occasional morning progressive grooves.
