Inspired by the painting with the same name.

Probably more important now than ever with the "influencer" culture.

Create your own thoughts based on your experiences and other people.
Imagination is the most important aspect, in which we create ourselves.



The idiom can be traced back to the Upanishads, which were written around 800 BCE

Abiding in the midst of ignorance, thinking themselves wise and learned, fools go aimlessly hither and thither, like blind led by the blind.

— Katha Upanishad

In case you missed or you want to relive it, enjoy AJJA's live act @ O.Z.O.R.A. Festival's 'One Day in Amsterdam 2014'. Tune in on 12th July 2014 Saturday 8pm CET on the Trance channel. 

AJJA S.F. LEU is an eclectic and multi-talented Swiss artist who channels his creativity through parallel careers as musician/producer/dj, Peak Records label manager, graphic artist and tattoo artist. 

Born in London in 1975, AJJA grew up roaming the planet with his world-renowned family of tattoo-artists and travellers. Wandering across the world and bathed in various artistic scenes, he was provided with a constant creative drive. 

He started playing guitar when he was nine years old, and having been reared in a rock’n’roll and funk atmosphere, he first concentrated on these musical styles. By his mid-teens, he had composed, produced and recorded over one hundred original songs. He performed with a number of live bands in different countries and continued to create music and release rock albums for another decade. During this time, he also picked up the family trade and started tattooing alongside his parents and older brother Filip Leu. 

At the end of the nineties, his interest gradually shifted towards electronic music, causing him to explore new digital horizons. In 2002, AJJA and musician friends Master Margherita, Dymons and Flooting Grooves created The Peaking Goddess Collective, a chill & psytrance band that fuses live instruments and digital technology. After performing in many parties and festivals and releasing tracks on many compilations, their debut album “Organika” was released on Peak Records in August 2007. 

In the summer of 2003, AJJA, in collaboration with his partner, visual artist Tanina Munchkina and musicians Dj Gaspard and Master Margherita, founded the psychedelic trance label Peak Records. In only four years, the label has gained respect and a solid reputation in the psytrance scene, releasing many quality night-time and chill albums and compilations. The same year saw the birth of Yab Yum, the fully digital project shared by AJJA and Dj Gaspard. They have since released numerous tracks on world-renowned labels, and their debut album “Nocturnal Emissions”, released on Peak Records in December 2006, has been widely praised in the international psytrance scene. They have performed with growing success worldwide from Japan to the United States. 

In 2005, AJJA started a solo project under his own name. This digital live-act is primarily 144bpm-based, focusing on groovy, non-cheesy, psychedelic trance that could be played in the morning or in the middle of the night. Since then, AJJA has performed in numerous parties and festivals including the Soulclipse, Life, Gaian Mind, Wickerman, World People, Forgotten Ritual and Waveform Project festivals. His much appreciated live sets have already rocked & grooved dancefloors in Japan, The United States, Canada, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland and Turkey. In the coming months, AJJA will be performing both his new material and with Yab Yum in parties around the planet, including the famous Universo Paralello in Brazil. A mini-tour in Japan is planned for spring 2008. 

In 2007, AJJA released his first solo night-time track on Moonloop Records. This fall, he will have two more releases on the upcoming Peak Records compilation “Peak-a-Doodle-Doo” and on Northern Psylights Records. His debut album “PSYCHOGENICA” will be released in November 2007, on the newborn Irish label Syncronize Records. Not satisfied with so much activity, Ajja also composes music for theater plays, designs Peak Records covers with his partner Tanina Munchkina, and works as a tattoo artist in his family’s shop in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Tromo & Loom - Allegorical Modulation

Chronophonia Vs Komfuzium - F.Society

It was a great privilege and honor for me to play at this year's Equinox festival. Thrown by TOUCH Samadhi, Equinox is one of my favorite psytrance festivals in north america. It occupies an amazing landscape, replete with mountains and lakes, and, being the oldest still-running psytrance party in the USA, it carries with it a legacy of experience and careful planing. In short, it's a damn good party.

Moreover, it was the first the first three-day psytrance festival I attended, many years ago, and, secondarily, playing at this iteration of the party marked my return to playing psytrance in front of crowds, having been sick with cancer for the last several years.

I was booked to play just after sunrise, in-between Axis Mundi, a psycore/experimental musician whose music I greatly respect, and Amanezca, a DJ/producer who, although a new face to me, had a reputation as a good morning-trance DJ. It was my job to bridge these styles - psycore and morning trance - at a festival which I hold in the highest regard, after not playing in front of a crowd in a few years.

To put it bluntly, I was scared shitless of disappointing myself, the crowd, or the festival organizers. 

I did no such thing. Many strangers, including other artists and staff, have approached me to tell me it was one of their favorite sets at the festival. My approach - to bring a bundle of darkpsy, forest, and old russian morning tracks, and fly by the seat of my pants with a vague plan in mind - had paid off.

I feel greatly renewed, emotionally and artistically, and I look forward to DJing at more parties in the future. Contact me if you'd like to book me, I play darkpsy, a smidge of forest, dark ambient, and old jungle/uk breakbeat hardcore.

Side note: The last transition in this set began to slide out of my control for a few seconds as the kickdrums began to get away from each other before I nudged them together. The urge to re-record the set when i got home was strong, but I dismissed it for two reasons. The first is obvious: authenticity. Re-recording the set to fix one silly transition felt vain and inauthentic. However, there's something else to talk about in this case. With the rise of computers and DJing software, it is my experience that there's no way to play out without someone looking down at you. If you play a perfect set, you're accused of letting the computer beatmatch for you. On the contrary, if you play an imperfect set, someone, somewhere; is casting derision on you for not being perfect. It is impossible to please the gear fetishists and digital elitists.

Thus, I have presented this set as it was played - proudly! - as a middle finger to ever psy elitist in the USA and beyond, and also as a testament to the lovely and imperfect human element that survives in every artform, laptop or not.

Infinite gratitude towards the entirety of TOUCH Samadhi, all dancers present at the event or hearing this recording now, and my psytrance families in Eldritch Crew and Absolut Shit Records.

See you on the next dancefloor!

"Goat of thy flock, I am gold, I am god,
Flesh to thy bone, flower to thy rod.
With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks
Through solstice stubborn to equinox."
