*****************************************

It was Acid House in 1988 that got Joti SiDHU aka PSYCHAOS & KRANE
hooked on electronic dance music. It was also the same year that he started djing 
in bars and clubs around Brighton in the UK at the tender age of 17.

His first international gig was in Paris@FRANCE in September 1990, at "Fort de Champigny" 
with D-SHAKE and other headlining acts of the time. It was shortly after this that, 
JOTi SiDHU embarked on the next natural step, making music. Enter the Legendary Atari Computer, 
built in MIDI, rock solid timing and the original Steinberg Cubase Sequencing software. 
A marriage that would take JOTi's understanding of electronic music to a new level.

In 1992 he was taken under the wing of Dave ALLEN 
(most recognised as Producer of The CURE from 1985) and Andy WRiGHT 
(Production on MASSiVE ATTACK, Dave STUART, EURYTHYMiCS) 
working as a programmer and given the job title "Groove Consultant", 
he worked with various acts such as Gianna NANNiNi, The COMMiTMENTS, 
The HUMAN LEAGUE (Producer Mark "SPiKE" STENT). 
Programming sessions in top studios such as The HiT FACTORY, 
RAK and OLYMPiC to name but a few.

Around this time JOTi SiDHU started getting seriously 
into the London, UK underground party scene and eventually one day 
with friends in 1993 found himself at an exclusive outdoor party 
at a remote quarry in West London, put on by a records company called DRAGONFLY.
This was where JOTi SIDHU first got his taste of the Psychedelic sound. 
Mike MAGUiRE aka JUNO REACTOR and Dj Serge SOUQUE aka TOTAL ECLiPSE & The ANTiDOTE  
were doing their legendary Dj double act and JOTi was hooked. Here he met DiNO PSARAS 
and Steve RONAN. They went straight to JOTi'S studio after the party and AYAHUASCA was born !!!
The first releases of AYAHUASCA was on "A CONCEPT In DANCE", XL Records, one of the first Psytrance 
compilations. AYAHUASCA also released on DRAGONFLY Records and followed up these releases 
with a remix of Paul OAKENFOLDS "RiSE" on PERFECTO Records.

After leaving AYAHUASCA, JOTi SiDHU started his solo act PSYCHAOS, 
(which was the first time anyone used the PSY term in the psytrance scene), 
whose first legendary release PSYCHAOS "PSYCHAOS" was on the second CONCEPT In DANCE 
entitled "TRiBAL SCiENCE" released in 1995.

This was when his sound and PSYCHAOS became extremely popular 
around the globe, and would find him playing at wonderful places such as ::

In 2007, AUDiO CHEMiSTRY got back to the studio and released "Big Tits"

of trance and techno, he has married them into his third album "ORDER TO CHAOS"

FYTA present a series of 26 thematic shows, one for every letter of the english alphabet. 
Each show introduces concepts, philosophers, poets and music projects whose name starts from each specific letter. In alphabetical order, FYTA re-examine and re-define the world of proper names. The ABC of FYTA heralds the coming of a new language; it is essentially a dictionary of pulses and pauses, a study in nominalism, a post-punk pilgrim, an educational radio program for the masses who struggle to understand the new reality of our times. From Theodor Adorno to Alekna Zupancic and from Aunt Sally to die Zwei the ABC of FYTA will categorise an impossibly chaotic world of influences and contradictions.
