The UK’s foremost Electronic music festival returns one again in the lush environs of Houghton Hall. The idyllic greenery of Englands finest will play host to a plethora of stages and sounds that would keep any techno bunny or psychedelic rainbow warrior indulged in his sonic selections of choice for a whole weekend.
Our very own Darren Sangita (aka Noodreem / Ashirvad) & Jon Sangita (aka E.S.P) have been invited to share their sounds, playing a mix of favoured selections from their stashbag of aural delights in the worlds of dub, ambient electronica and world fusion, blended seamlessly with their own compositions.
Having played at many GLADE festivals in previous years, we can say with certainty that this will be a gathering of the tribes to remember. The promise of great things looms large on the horizon. Prepare for a Cosmic Lift off of epic proportions!!! Shanti Aum.
Here is a full line up of Artists to appear at the GLADE FESTIVAL 2012:-

Our very own Jon Sangita is a Special Guest DJ on the night, spinning his usual blend of deep funky ambience and shamanic dub along with the ambient wizard himself, Alex Paterson, so even more reasons to be cheerful

While its ten tracks sport recognizable elements from previous signature sounds, the spirit of collaboration turns the album into a three-way odyssey leaving musical barriers as distant specks on the horizon, the afore-mentioned dub pulsing in the lower reaches or splintering vocals, which sometimes use vocoder effects to lend a cold, futuristic sheen to the messages.
After the swirling pulsations of ’15 minutes’ and intoxicating strings and contagious bongos of ‘Frog Time’, the album ventures into the orchestral dronescape of ‘Gone phishing’ before the sugar-rush monotone funked-up robo-rap of ‘Just outside’. The electronic wind effect of ’Perfect’ turns loose a slo-mo dub-funk behemoth, goosed by sinister narrative which continues as Giorgio Moroder operates from the Clockwork Orange chemical toilets on the post-apocalyptic city prowl of ‘Section by section’. (Kris Needs)
After a generation of duos, the power trio is back, hotwired into the 21st century in the startling new form of SCREEN. But, where the threesome lineup, first propagated in the mid-60s by the likes of Cream, used guitar, bass and drums to rattle the roof, Alex Paterson, Gaudi and Chestar have conjoined to tear down the walls, powered by mutual obsessions with dub’s bass-propelled dislocation of Read more
Arabic dub is an age old sonic concept, whose sound echoes through time round sandstorm laden pyramids. Dubsahara practices this ancient form of Cameltronica in fine style. His recent set at Sonica Festival was a masterful excursion through the ultraworlds, navigating symphonic sinewaves in etheric motion. It was a study in fluid dynamics and inference patterns of fractal geometry skillfully fused with traditional arabic melodies.

Experimental Sound Project has a new track exclusively available on this edition of Dream Creation Magazine. Dream Creation has been publishing news and views from the underground music, arts and consciousness network in London since the early 1990′s. It’s a magazine for hyperspacial dreamers, dakini dancers and surreal psychedelicists. Reflecting on the contemporary state of the Global Psychedelic Trance scene and dazzling us with insights and interviews from some of the worlds leading lights in the modern electronic music epoch.
This ambient classic has been obscured from view only by the clouds of cosmic dust that prevail afore the arrival of the Photon Belt. In such a space and time, a certain degree of chaos may reign. With the blessings of the Universal Resonance we may hear the infinite magic from the Temple of Stars.
This is an Omega.v1 release. This is raw music, direct from the producers intergalactic studio to you. Unmastered and still in development, this is a real opportunity to join in with the evolutionary flux and flow of modern music. If you like what you hear, donate and watch as we aim to develop it even further.
Taking electroacoustic music to a new level of sophistication, this ethereal delight is already something of a connoisseurs classic on the Global ambient electronica scene, having been toured around Europe in previous seasons. This is the Omega.v1 version of the album which may yet see another incarnation as the hyperspational mapping capabilities of this production team could yet be upgraded once we enter the Photon Belt. Each piece on this modern hyperspace-age recording tells an epic tale. There are no set-to-repeat digital diamoporhisms here, this is pure geometric isomorphism incontrovertibly elucidating on the nature of existence.
