Randay is Dimitris Violitzis, with various releases in progressive trance scene with Krama.

Producing since 2001 from Classical to I.D.M. with this project brings to you slower, emotional, deeper but always danceable music.
For the rest just push the play button in the music player. 

Zen Garden were born in 2007 in Greece, by core- creators Stefanos Tortopoglou (Stefan Torto)  and Roxani- Eleni Garefalaki both of whom are on an ongoing journey through the corridors of music. 
Their music ranges from electroacoustic, ambient and free style electronica to tribal dance. 

Coming together with the drummer and percussionist Manolis Kambouris, s.bell in live Visual environments, Michael Mazis in bass, the percussionist Giorgos Koukoulis and the Performers Yiannis Smeros and Yianna Medvedeva, they introduce a multi-layered art experience by combining a variety of mediums to a film like performance, dressed as a music concert. In all their projects they explore and look into the creation of an experience which travels through musical landscapes, marrying electronic with natural sound, as well as the magic of live visual art and movement.
