Mr. What? is a question that offers some very interesting answers. 

Liran Ackerman, the man behind this fresh progressive psy project is already known for his success as part of the duo 'MUTe/MUTation'. Following the years of experience he collected with MUTe, Liran felt it was time to set off on a journey of his own. This journey was always about more than just music production, but had a strong calling for creating a palpable fusion between forward thinking beats and universal ideas and emotions that surround us all. This spiralling journey through music, soundscapes and omnipresent concepts has taken Mr. What?'s sound to a refreshing crossover between deep progressive and clubby techno, with just the right amount of psy influence. This can be heard and felt in his tunes, which grab hold of you and offer a refreshing essence of unpredictability in exactly where the groove may take you. Needless to say, his journey is one that we can easily identify with, and instantly feel compelled to join in on regardless of where it's heading. After all, the journey isn't about the destination, but about the road you take as you move along.

Mr. What?'s latest album '27' is pure example of this unbound road, where each track reveals a unique and fascinating view of life, and the endless possibilities of experience. The album features beautiful vocals by Netaly Reshef in 'Substance Fog' and 'Open Your Eyes', and bear a reminder of the angelic guidance that lives in us all. The album also offers some massive collaborations with U-Recken, Roger Rabbit, Krunch and a huge remix to Ritmo's Dream & Reality .

Silent Sphere is the progressive and psytrance project formed by Simon Weber (CH) and Janiv Damti (CH/ISR) from Berne, Switzerland. 

2013 Janiv joined the project, initiated by Simon in 1999. 

The key to an enduring partnership is, of course, to complement each other, and the two do so admirably. Music-wise, their various tastes and techniques combine into one unique sound, and their respective preference for studio work and performance means that both aspects are equally well covered.

The debut album “Dance” was released in 2004, followed by “Mind Games” in 2005 and “The Singles” in 2008.

Their music is influenced by progressive trance, full-on and techno – to bring joy and love to you and the dancefloors with their truly unique and cutting-edge sound. 

Enjoy!

I like to make music so that's what I do. :)

Heyoka: 

In Native American culture, the Heyoka is, in simple terms, the clown of the tribe. But he is much more than what most people imagine a clown to be. 

Everything he does in his play is aimed at making people laugh, so that they feel themselves and let go of entrenched attitudes and concepts. He turns the rituals upside down or exaggerates them excessively. He does everything to expose the complacency and prejudices of his fellow human beings in order to heal and encourage with laughter.

He can step into the world of others, into their stubbornness and madness. He mimes them lovingly and makes even the suffering person laugh about his own suffering. He brings laughter and the love of life and strengthens the natural being and the connection in the tribe to the divine. He helps to banish aberrant and unconnected attitudes and is seen as a transformer, ally and mediator between the worlds.

Some years ago someone told me, that the way I behave reminds him of this figure and on the one hand I can deeply identify myself with the characteristics of the Heyoka and on the other hand I’m trying my best to act more in this way.
