Biography:


Boom Shankar is Armin Guenther, 30 years in age from the south of Germany. He is head of the european collective BMSS, manager and A&R at BMSS Records and Dj for Psychedelic Trance, Twilight Psychedelic and mystical morning, old school Goa influenced Trance.

His infection with the Psy Trance virus goes back as far as 1996; the venues: magical gatherings in Switzerland`s beautiful and pure nature. Simultaneously starting to travel throughout Asia and discovering an even more colourful scene than back home in addition with playing on remote party spots in the most wonderful nature imaginable formed a combination still lasting and led to the artist name of Boom Shankar.

His sets are a mirror of the melting pot situation the Psytrance scene is facing nowadays: Whether he is playing his psychedelic night time and twilight or his mystical morning and daytime sets, they are always characterized by deepness and filled with large amounts of energy. Positive, but by far not cheesy melodies, groovy baselines and strong kicks and the full spectrum of psychedelic and mindaltering effects are compulsory elements definitely kicking you to the dancefloor.

The belief in improvisation to fully understand the flow and energies of the floor in order to reach higher levels of Trance as well as realizing Djing as a mutual communication with the dancefloor according to "giving and receiving" has brought his case and him to countless performances all over Germany performing on festivals like Paradise Waterfalls (TH), Pyramiduna (HU), Antaris Project (DE), Summer Never Ends Festival (CH), Paradise Festival (AT), Roenaissance Festival (IT), Safe the Freaks and the Magic Castle of Mesocco Parties (CH) or Transylvania Calling (RO) and in venues like The Om Trance Club (Bangkok) , Dachkantine (Zürich) or the former Natraj Temple in Munich.

In addition to his solo sets, he is spinning as well with his Dj mate Alexsoph under the name ABS energetic versus sets with a certain oldschool Goa touch, definately something not to be missed and something lasting for a quite a long time in your consciousness and subconsciousness!

Boom Shankar is as well label Dj for the german based Spontaneous Aerobics Rec. and family member and DJ for Freak Time Productions (Switzerland) and Transition (Spain).
