A true force in the Psytrance world and beyond it, Yoni Oshrat, better known as Ace Ventura, isn't just a DJ and producer - he's an experience. For over two decades, his infectious energy has ignited dance floors worldwide. From intimate clubs to headlining major festivals, Ace Ventura has captivated audiences with his signature style. His music is characterised by a fusion of hard, pumping dancefloor oriented themes and deeper, groovier influences, always immersed in psychedelia. As a DJ his diverse musical tastes and vast musical knowledge enables him to create unique sonic experiences. In times when lineups consist mostly of short producer sets, Yoni pushes the envelope to play long sets that tell a real story, going back to the origins of DJ culture.

His passion for psytrance extends far beyond music. Alongside Liquid Soul, he co-founded Psy-Nation, a global movement encompassing a monthly radio show/podcast and a travelling party line. This dedication to the genre fosters community and discovery for psytrance enthusiasts everywhere.

While psytrance is his domain, Ace Ventura's musical curiosity extends to downtempo and dub universes.  This deep appreciation for diverse electronic styles adds another layer to his artistry, evident in his acclaimed "Ace Ventura in Dub" sets.

Ace Ventura isn't confined to the booth. Beyond solo ventures, he collaborates on successful projects like Alpha Portal (with Astrix), Alien Art (with Captain Hook), Liquid Ace (with Liquid Soul), and Acid Punks (with Outsiders), each project offering a different sound adventure.

Captain Hook is one of the top DJs, musicians and producers on the Psychedelic Trance (Psytrance) & Progressive Trance scene. Traveling a diverse musical path, Reshef Harari always achieved success guided by the frequencies. From the early days of DJing with vinyls, through the successful collaborative project Quantize, the visit to Techno-land as Sheff with releases at top labels, and finally as Captain Hook, with which he took over the world by storm. Following his heart and sonic manipulations he keeps innovating and never stagnating. With two top selling albums at Iboga Records, countless single and compilation releases and collaborating with the best electronic music producers, Captain Hook has been playing in every conceivable festival, party and venue all around the globe.

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, Mark Valsecchi has made his mark on the electronic music scene. Since his debut EP, his tracks have been featured on prominent labels like Alpaka Muzik, Digital Structures, Alula Tunes, Jannowitz, and Soupherb Records. His work often finds a place in the Beatport top 100, reflecting his steady stream of quality releases. He’s collaborated with international talents such as Maksim Dark, Monococ, Gaga, Aaron Suiss, and Dobé, and he's currently finalizing new material with a fresh lineup of exciting artists.

Mark's sound journey spans 25 years, beginning with Drum and Bass, Deep & Tech House on turntables, and evolving into live performance with a diverse range of tech. This progression led to the creation of Mixroom Studios, a mixing and mastering agency dedicated to dance music. His signature style features deep, phat basslines, groove-driven rhythms, and layers of sound that blend elements of Dark Groove, Minimal Techno, Progressive, and PsyTech. Each production invites listeners on a sonic voyage through a universe of rich textures and pitch modulations.
