Guitarist, DJ & producer Andreia Gomez aka Soul Scientist blends the raw energy of live electric guitar with the intense power of full-on psytrance. Earth-rumbling beats, heavy guitar riffs and eastern inspired melodies are the hallmark of her music. Her rapid rise in the UK's psytrance scene has seen her sharing stages with Ajja, Avalon, Talamasca, Mad Maxx, and Burn In Noise, at some of the most prestigious events such as Boomtown, Tribal Gathering, Existance, Altered States, Tribe of Frog and Illusiom. 

Whether remixing tracks from acclaimed artists or producing her own, each track bears her unique musical signature, achieved through the incorporation of live sound effects, samples, and instrumental layers. In July 2024, her first official release through Phantasm Records “String Synergy” ranked #8 on Beatport’s psytrance chart and stayed in the top 10 for a whole week. She’s currently working on her debut EP to be released in 2025.

Born in Portugal, she moved to England in her late teens to pursue her musical dreams. Founding the prog rock/metal band MIND, her role as songwriter, lead guitarist, and producer was initially influenced by bands such as Tool, Dream Theater and Rage Against the Machine. The later discovery of the bands Ozric Tentacles and Shpongle marked a shift towards psychedelic music, eastern influenced guitar playing and the fusion of live and electronic music. However, the pivotal turning point happened when she fell in love with psytrance and started DJing as a side project. She found her true calling in live performance and sound manipulation, able to bring all her musical influences, as well as her love for technology and her philosophy, onto a stage act that truly reflects the essence of her being.

Andreia sees music as a gateway to sensations that transcend the ordinary. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences of deeper states of consciousness induced purely by dancing, she adopted the stage name "Soul Scientist", an embodiment of her belief in music's capacity to alter brain chemistry so deeply as to unlock transcendental experiences.
