"As the dance increased in intensity, the dancers reached trance-like, altered, states of consciousness and were transported into the spirit realm where they could plead for the souls of the sick."

Fernando starts producing psychedelic trance music in 2014 as the name of Shivalayam, with the intent to unleash the ideas without limits. He release his music on the little personal label Psysomatic Records, but in 2016 the great german label Juicy Noise Records, listening his style, calls him to release some tracks, and the first album “Science & Religion”. After years the productions continues also under several projects like Laozi and the new Akai Pacific, focussed on progressive psy-trance music. The last album Semiramis bring the psytrance into a new level, because he never stops to learn and create new sounds. The 2018 is the year or change with the creation of the new label “Nazca Vibes”. This baby is focussed into more mature and complex tracks, new experiments and alternative creations. Old label Psysomatic Records do not stop, but we will concentrate to the new. The first release is a three track EP “Spirit of the Ancestors”: the old meets the new, but the trip is at the begin...good vibes!!

For the 2019, Fernando starts a new parallel project called "Yerba Divina", focussed on more technical and psychedelic music, were trance is always in progression. The 2020 it's the year of revolution: thanks to his good last tracks, Yerba Divina joins the family of the great indian psytrance label "Brahamasutra Records". The first release is a solo track in the free VA called Lockdown Tales, made with all members of the Brahamasutra family for the covid worldwide lockdown. Then is the time for the first EP: Arborea, with three tracks dedicated to the beautiful universe of our planet. In 2021 a track called Atokirina for the VA selected by Djane Bhavani and the second EP with 4 tracks: The Nexus Network, a journey into the cyberpunk world. Now the 2022 is another year of great music with a solo track for the VA conducted by Reza Edge "Tandava" and the last EP called Animus Nocturni, when a Great Shaman will drive the experiences.

As the last son of Trypton, I crash landed on planet Earth a long time ago.

In the human metropolis known as Cape Town, they raised me as one of their own.

Though I have lost most of my ability to communicate in my native frequency, I have been attempting for many years to regain my lost language. 

Broadcasting whatever basic form of my home-world language  I can produce out into to the far reaches of the cosmos, all in the hopes of one day reconnecting with my own kind.

I have joined forces with the one they call INSECT MENACE (soundcloud.com/insectmenace). A being seemingly part human, part something else entirely. Together we appear to amplify each others powers and our collective force is known as "HEROIC DOSE".

                             Do not go gentle into that good night; 
                            rave rave against the dying of the light.
                                     - Dylan Thomas (mostly).

The Skanoh project is a murky reflection of Govind Bains, from India. Fascinated by wierd and wonky psychedelic sounds and their effect on the human mind , he couldn't help but learn the art of weaving his own sonic textures to better interpret his varying states of mind.
