A fun set to play! I enjoy the challenge of merging genres mainly because I want to hear the tracks I enjoy and that doesn't necessarily mean they are all from the same genre. Enjoy :)

If you don't agree, silently walk away with your opinion and Thank You for stopping by .. :)

✧ Unlocking Layers ✧

DJ Akasha is the project of Akash Sandhu, based in the enchanting landscapes of New Zealand. Born and raised in Malaysia, she grew up surrounded by the rhythmic melodies and harmonious cadences of her family's music-loving heritage.

Akasha's fascination with electronic music began at the tender age of 12, and it was later in New Zealand that she stumbled upon the captivating realm of psychedelic sounds. Her first encounter with the Dimension crew's outdoor party left her spellbound and ignited her desire to take control of the decks.

Renowned for her signature style in Night Full On, Akasha's musical journey naturally gravitated towards the realms of Dark Psy and Forest, where she discovered her love for blending the genres and pushing sonic boundaries.

Having graced numerous stages across New Zealand, Akasha made her entrancing debut at prominent events such as Alien Nation (NZ), Dimension Festival (NZ), and Xmas Moon Mountain, Thailand in the eventful year of 2014. Not long after, she secured her inaugural headline performance and appearance in prestigious events such as Lunar Dreaming 2017, Progression Sessions 2018, and Planet Express 2019 all in Australia, and Bubble Festival 2018 in Malta. Notably, she warmed up the dance floor for Virtual Light at Esoteric Festival 2018.

In the midst of the roaring Covid pandemic in late 2020, Akasha unleashed her very first 10-track compilation titled 'True Grit' with signed label BMSS Records. The release features a lineup of esteemed artists, including Braincell, Martian Arts, Tron, Architekt, Lucid Mantra, Justin Chaos, U-Grid (Prohecht & Noise Gust), Entasis, Asimilon, Junky Monkey & Kundalini.

Akasha's natural inclination leads her to explore the darker realms of psytrance, gravitating towards captivating leads harmoniously fused with powerful bass lines. Each track she selects bears her unique touch, evoking open-mindedness and inviting listeners to embark on a euphoric journey of self-discovery.

Imagine a cyborg dancing with elves in an enchanted forest and then think about what music this scenario would need. It's precisely at this point where imagination reaches its limits and the dapan project begins. Wired sounds between darkness and mystic on fast, fat, crunchy bass lines that's the way Cornelius, the founder of dapan always imagined  how trance should be. Influenced by Suomi, Forest and by the Central European trance scene, dapan accompanies between 150 and 200 BPM on journeys between worlds and dimensions. The dapan project started in early 2024 and is going to bring joy to the dance floor with new innovative sounds.
