Kalumet (aka Ork Monk aka Trevor McGregor aka Arboraetum aka Tiger Punch) is Zoltan Vajda from Hungary. 
One of the oldschool master of storytellers of the psychedelic trance scene. He got involved in the mid 90’s, early enough to see the spreading of trance worldwide, to witness its transforming through the 00’s to our present time. Considering this kind of possession of psychedelic experience, one can never be in doubt to have a very special time when he is playing, be it live act or DJ set.

His musical history goes back to late 80’s, when he grabbed his first accords on the guitar. The bass guitar came in a few years later, and his world of sounds slowly got a shape, influenced by Joy Division, The Clash, Suicidal Tendecies / Infectious Grooves, L.A. Style, The Overlords, U96, Kraftwerk, Front Line Assembly, Yello, Gabor Szabo, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Korai Öröm, Hardfloor, Emmanuel Top, the Ninja Tunes like Herbalizer and Coldcut, Morcheeba, then Green Nuns Of The Revolution, Quirk, X-Dream, Four Carry Nuts, the Matsuri, Dragonfly and Spirit Zone releases, Audio Active, Black Star Liner, Korsakoff, then in the beginning of the last decade, by early Iboga, ZMA, CreamCrop, Disham and Son Kite, and maybe most of all, the traditional / folk music of the whole world.

Having a wide musical culture like this, he never kept his imagination on a short leash. In fact, he is mostly known from his unmistakable manner of creating free-form fusion dance music. Since his first remix in 1998 until this 2018, he released more than hundred tracks on many labels from Chi Recordings through Kagdila, Psylife Music, BrainBusters to Horns And Hoofs, Random Records or Sangoma, he represents a very wide range of styles.

Under different names such as Ork Monk, Trevor McGregor, and Tiger Punch, he traveled through half of the world to perform in special places like a cinema in Donetsk, a laundry in Cologne, a bowling alley in Tokyo, in the catacombs of Buda Castle, in the middle of Kanchanaburi lake near Bangkok, the mountains of Transylvania and Bulgaria, the forests of Lithuania and northern Russia, the magical beaches of Koh Phangan, jungles of Brazil, clubs of Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, London and Moscow, main stages of Ozora, Lost Theory, chill out areas of Boom, Voov, MODEM, Sonica… Eight years ago arrived to Malta to find out what the story is there.

"Grond" is a solo project of David Bernard Kotarski from Croatia. His journey with music originally started with a synthesizer in elementary school, later on in high school, he began to play an electric guitar. But everything went south after he discovered Psychedelic Trance in 2013, on
an event that goes by the name "Regeneration". He instantly fell in love with the vibe that it generates and the intense tribe-like feelings
of the dance floor. In 2014, because he liked everything so much he decided to try DJing as Dj "Nemo" and he got excellent guidance from two awesome DJs "3TT" and "Spiritus ex Machina"(also from the "Regeneration" Tribe). In the middle of the year 2019, he starts to produce his very own Psychedelic Trance in Ableton.
The atmosphere and music of the project is weird and groovy dark forest  psychedelic trance.

Cosmic noise, lysergic improvisation, introspective space punk music, ethereal drones, field recording, digital deconstruction. spiritual technology. soundtracks for the apocalypse.
