  Amarok, aka Piotr Kedzior, has been a force in the development and celebration of psychedelic trance in the Midwest USA for many years now.  Producing and DJing electronic music became an irreplaceable part of his life sometime around 2006, when his first forays into the Electro and Drum and Bass genres inevitably led to an yen for sharing paradigm-pushing rhythms with bubbling hot dancefloors.  

 As half of psytrance production duo Future Sight, he collaborated with Kenny Sefton on extending the potency of contemporary psychedelic trance.  Three releases, multiple singles, and a Top 10 spot on Beatport (for 2014’s “Evolution” on Hooki-Sonic Recordings, a juicy and melodic psy stomper) filled out his initial series of experiences with the rigors of musical production. As time moved on it was clear to him that DJing and event promotion was an authentic calling whose voice he simply could not ignore:  Mainstage bookings at Sacred Earth Open-Air 2018 and 2019, HUNAB-KU and KUKULKAN (Dimensional Mayan Tribe) located in Texas followed shortly thereafter; each of these sets alone constituted a memorable contribution to a vital presence for psytrance throughout the USA, and he began to attract a musical following.  His geographical and sonic reach widened as he continued to mature as a DJ; he was affiliated with Chilluminati as the Chicago Psytrance Ambassador specializing in the Full-On and progressive “morning” styles of psychedelic trance and psytech

In 2019 as a Chilluminati DJ and promoter based in Chicago, he overseed a series of club bi-monthlies called “Psychedelic Tendencies” in which the psychedelic family essentially takes over a commercial space and everybody in the house attempts to identify an upper limit of possibility: But when the Covid Pandemic hit that came to a screeching halt.
 In 2021 he came back for vengeance hosting Chicago’s first TECHNO and Psytrance event called Connexionism. With its huge success he plans on bringing Psytrance and psychedelic culture back to the Chicago Underground. 

His mission is, above all, to make moments possible for people, in which the mundane and the overwhelming give peaceful way to a sense of bliss, a place that’s special, even if only for a couple of hours.  Sharing sonic medicine with the world: it’s his greatest passion as a promoter and as a DJ, and he does it with honest pride and a brave love of music and community.
