Here you find an alphabetical list of all the Artists taking part in the Gathering of the Southern Systems
(BMSS Records / Other World Reactor Records / Switzerland) AstralGnoMix does not play common-style music, he has his own groove, born from a mixture of various electronic genres and goa, ranging from old-style to modern, inspired by acts like Hallucinogen, Oziric Tentacles, Cosmosis, Pink Floyd and more... He presents a new style at each Live Act, and often brings along many of his original instruments, making each act impressingly particular. Now he spends as much time as possible playing his instruments and composing new groovy stuff. AstralGnoMix is certainly not a common artist he loves psychedelic tunes, and does not follow the common wave... For him psychedelia has no limits.

After some years of dejaying goatrance he founded the "Anam Cara Project" together with two Stuttgart based friends who performed Fios DJ-Sets with live Congas and Saxophone. "Anam Cara Project" fast connected with musicians and networks of the south-german, french and swiss Underground. Influenced by his activity in several Tribes as Dreamcreation, Crazy People or Miditation Anam Fio evolved a distinguished understandment of Dance-Trance-Music, which can be described as a CrossOver between crunchy Tribal-Psy and body-shaking Lysergic-Prog.
(Aruna Sounds / Germany)
(BMSS / Freak Time Prod. / Tanztee / Germany) Armin, a 27 year old Artist from Southern Germany got known to the Goa Scene back in 1996 on magical gatherings in Switzerland. The combination of Travelling to Asia and djing formed soon a very strong connection still lasting and led to his final artist name: Boom Shankar. In 2001 he founded with friends the tribe -Bruder Mond Schwester Sonne- (BMSS) which can be translated into -Brother Moon Sister Sun-. Meaning: "Everything is one". The network grew and finally reached an energetic but still commercially healthy level, keeping elements from the Goa ages and combining them with the modern Psy Trance fractals. Boom Shankar´s sets are a mirror of this combination and can be characterized as full of pressure and deepness. Positive melodies, throbbing basslines and the full spectrum of psychedelic - mindblowing effects are compulsory elements, keeping you stomping and stomping for hours...

"For me trance music should create a warm and powerful atmosphere, soI want to share this feeling by playing my music!"
(Psyberpunk / Germany) Deejayridoo originates from the psychedelic underground of the early Goadays (mid ´90s). The unforgettable trance dance experiences at the legendary Psyberpunkgatherings, surrounded and inspired by the splendour of the Swiss Alps, havehad a huge influence and were my initiation into the neo-shamanic culture.Not following any dogma or sub cultural stereotype I have always refused toadapt to any predefined truth. Rejecting any form of obedience to any kindof authority and keeping always the focus on the mystical and the magicalworld of "Psychedelia" always was my choice. I create musical journeys for the weirdest of the "weirdos". Avoidingenerving noisiness and boring monotony consequently lifts the music tolevels of playfulness and manifold realms. My gig is meant as an invitation for those who long for deep psychedelicexperiences and those who enjoy the bliss of ego nullification and theboundlessness of being which goes hand in hand with the spirit of Goa: The encounter with the being within leaving behind cultural conditioning -and thus realizing how deep the rabbit hole really is...Nothing for wussies ;)
(Skykey Records / France) Dharma began deejaying Progressive and Psychedelic Trance in 2002.

Eventually, receiving enough positive feedback to encourage him to begin working as a decoration artist. Concentrating on Fluoro String Deko the individual style of Visual Awareness Decorations is brought alive by a number of Factors: Firstly all decorations are created on site. This ensures a personal touch to each event. Secondly no two creations are the same. Using a combination of colour, texture and size, a totally unique visual experience is created. Coming to Heidelberg from Lake of Constance in 2003 his high standard of creativity is immediately recognized by the BMSS Crew, who took him without hesitation as a member of their decoration team. Working with BMSS for the first time at the Regionalbewegung Event (Regional Movement), the decoration provided by Visual Awareness became for many a point of conversation. Encouraged by the success of this, his art could be seen at a series of BMSS parties in Southern Germany. In Physics, Super-String-Theory represents which dimension every particle is existing in. The art created by Visual Awareness is a microcosm of one of these dimensions. Join us and experience a new way of looking at your dimension!
