OOOD (Out Of Our Depth) is a pioneering UK-based psychedelic trance band that has been at the forefront of the psytrance scene since the early 1990s. Originally formed in 1994 by Colin Bennun, Steve Callaghan, and Nigel Bradbury, the group has evolved over the years while staying true to their roots in psychedelic music.

OOOD’s music is renowned for its intricate soundscapes, rich melodies, and the seamless fusion of organic and electronic elements. With a discography that includes six acclaimed albums and numerous singles and EPs on respected labels like Iboga Records, Flying Rhino Records, and Phantasm Records, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of psytrance.

Known for their dynamic live performances, OOOD often incorporates live instruments and improvisation, creating immersive and transformative experiences for audiences. They have performed at major psytrance festivals around the world, including Boom Festival and Ozora, earning a reputation as one of the genre's most innovative and enduring acts.

In 2021 their 6th album "Deep Flight" (Iboga Records) was met with critical acclaim, and their 7th album "Source Confirmed" (2024, Phantasm Records) looks to build on this success. OOOD continues to inspire and captivate the global psytrance community with their creative energy and commitment to the psychedelic ethos.

Music production using modern technology and equipment is a passion which I have started exploting since I have been 15 years old.
I started as a DJ for a reputable club in Nicosia called 'The Train' back in 2002 which was looking for talented DJs who wanted to progress their career in electronic music production. This was a good chance to collaborate with the crowd in LIVE performances , make other people love my music and mixes, but also learn how to market myself in a highly competitive field.
Marketing my live performances was challenging and had to be coordinated with Radio stations in Cyprus but at the same time it was amusing. in 2007 where I mixed compositions that produced together with top hits played by Armin Van Buuren in his State of Trance Radio as well as hits by Paul Van Dyk, Sander Van Doorn, Tiesto and Above and Beyond.
The passion and aspiration to be successful let me to make an important decision and undertake a BTEC National Diploma in Music Technology at the City Bath College in the UK. Studying for 2 years in the UK has given me that 'extra' I was looking for, and the chance to perform in one of the best places in the world for electronic music.
I trust my abilities and skills developed so far from my experience in both Cyprus and the UK and i am open to any challenges that may happens to the future.
