Fear is one of the most powerful and primitive senses of human beings. Feelings that belong to metaphysics and mystical worlds are necessities just like feelings such as peace and happiness. Scientific analyses show that a healthy brain should develop fear. It is a known fact that the fear or horror affects people easily. There are many branches of art that use feeling of fear and people used the art for many years to discharge the feelings of horror, anxiety and anger. Theatre, that is the beginning of many other art branches, shows us the concept of ‘Katharsis’, where audience put themselves in the shoes of the hero in danger and discharges their own feelings. First examples of this were Tragedias in Theatre however now many different art branches lead the audience to positive by showing the negative.

Many underground music types used hard tones, metallic and scary noises as a simulative tool. The discharged energy and emotional intensity of listeners and dancers of these kinds of music types, is may be the closest thing to Katharsis and maybe it's more powerful. Like every pleasant feeling, negative feelings, which are considered bad, are as well a part of our being. When not experienced, not expressed or gain a meaning, can be transformed to emotional chaos that can lead a person doing bad things.

From time to time, Dark Trance has been found too hard and too fast by some Psychedelic Trance listeners. However while experiencing this much ‘hard and fearful’ music, a person refines himself/herself by dancing or letting go with the music. This is as well Katharsis in a way. The effect of troubling sounds is actually opposite to what commonly known; brain finds itself in some kind of danger with some simulative sounds even though it is not real and this way it starts working actively to protect itself. It is a fact that people who listens these kind of music can be able to use their brain more actively in time.

We think that Halloween with its theme of horror and meaning transformed through the history, has a connection with Dark Trance music slightly and it can create a harmony by the means of atmosphere, decor and as a way of expression. We picked Halloween date and concept and it brought us a new way of art perspective that nourishes Dark Trance culture. Along with music, works of visual and plastic arts that express dark and horror themes will be presented in our Art Gallery and there will be a an area for Horror Cinema. In this event that we named “Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Halloween” , we will have the chance to observe this horror theme in different interpretations and with different branches of art. While many writers and thinkers indicate current era of living as ‘horror era’, they want us to forget that it is as well an information and communication era and even an ‘idea era’. It is in our hands to give a meaning to fear and process it as artists who noticed the truth. We need to recognize the real face of imposed systems and gain power from the horror by not giving up on our dreams. We hope to use this technique of art and indicate the positive by showing the negative or indicate the courage by showing the fear. We hope to see horror as our friend and notice its real creative power.

SHVA is New England’s scenes embodiment of the Techno Viking. With high energy DJ sets and his unstoppable music production blitzkrieg, this man is clearly on a mission to RAVE-and-pillage. This absolute monster of bass-forward craziness, channels North Uk wonky and energetic vibes in his music. Signed to BlackFox Records, Checkout Records, 4x4 Syndicate, SubSound, IN:Flux Audio & Project AllOut Records in the UK, With forthcoming tings on Manuka Records, WidFam, Simply Deep & Fursty Records,  and getting airplay in the UK, calling this production powerhouse “Up and coming” would be a massive understatement, SHVA has already made it. But no one handed him a cookie-cutter or a clone stamp to craft his music, his tracks are pure original techno viking ; SHVA is on the warpath.

Keep up with him on his facebook and Soundcloud for all of his newest productions!
