Hellios has gone through many ups and downs and a variety of musicians since early 2011. After a project called A Day of Reckoning fell through in late 2010, 2 of its 5 members(Fabian and Adrian) decided that this wasnt the end. Lead guitarist of A.D.O.R. recieved notice that another musician named Kenneth also lived in the same small town and thus sparked the talent between the two. Kenneth and Fabian practiced several months writing and learning new material until Adrian was called to take over vocals. In the early year of 2012 Hellios picked up what they thought was the ultimate drummer to fit the pieces together. The 4 members got together in Kingsville Tx to rehearse the few songs they had come up with. Unfortunately after several months of hard work the drummer had to move back to his old home town, leaving Kenneth, Fabian, and Adrian looking once more for new talent. Practice continued and with a bit of luck, the band came across a new drummer Eric M. Weeks went by and the band was making progress once again. After about a month with this new drummer, Hellios then came across another drummer from Corpus Christi with greater skills than their current member. A difficult switch was made and Hector was brought in to take over drum duties. 

Due to some of the members needing to relocate their lives to other cities. Gilstock 2012 was the last show Hellios performed before the band split up for good.... or so they thought. After a 2 year hiatus Hellios is back....

Guitarists, Fabian Beltran, and Kenneth Rivera; after much consideration decided to bring Hellios back together. Fabian started gathering musicians from around the South Texas area; They immediately began working on the new set list. After about a week of writing they contacted former drummer Hector Gomez Jr., and a friend of hector's who played synth. Upon hearing that they wanted to bring a new sound to Hellios and revive what once was. Hector agreed to help take the band in its new found direction. After a quick meet and greet jam session. Fabian, Hector, and Kenneth decided to move forward with Synth/Keys player Juan E. Recio. The newly formed band decided they would put out their first single as a group in early October 2014. Hellios is still looking for a talented vocalist, and bass player to join their ranks. The talented group of young musicians found a new motivation and drive to push them forward. The band plans to push out their EP come early 2015. Keep an eye and ear out for the raw musical talents of this group.

The time for change is now. Hellios has arrived.

I don't know where I shall start it. I decided it after 1998 that I would like to be dj, I put the foundation stones of the beginnings of my orbit down at this time if I grow up. I noticed the daylight on Zalaegerszeg in 1981 of his Augusts. I grew up then and to 1996 I burst into the night a discoba on Keszthely and adhered of this staining away with himself Trance, Vocal Trance, Progressive musical style. I started discovering my talent on two flat CD players, I went to consider a party the pals with a technique rented already later then. On the front of 1998 of my middle school periods very much started to interest the music, I looked at it some other way totally till then entirely, but from this I started contemplating the world of the music some other way a little bit. I started my career on the school parties. Initially ticket collector, so what sure dj device carrying I was a little fellow.

I visited with weekly regularity under this period, a Keszthely club, where Slam Jr, Shanty, Dän Von Schulz, Major listened to, weekly with an occasion, I learned it from them very much... My musical style took shape at this time, which one I may greet to Slam Jr. and Dän Von Schulz, until this day, I did not know that this musical style exists while I did not visit down there. I was growing very much since then, from own strength, and with smaller helps. In 2003 I got to know Club ATLANTIS owner and here I started working, than light technician I recognised it then the residens of that place DJ: DJ Marcus -t from who I learned by watching techniques and I asked councils of him, that with what I could make myself talented yet. I recognised it then DJ Danny-t who started dealing with me and to be teaching, from this I felt started real dj. Then DJ Roland-ot I demanded it in order for DJ to give additional clocks of the mysteries of art for me. At this time already at home practised and I tried to prepare mixes, what I ruin where in order to see it. Then from own strength I started growing and to strengthen my musical hearing.

Dj LetlakaRSA' s profile.                  (DJ LetlakaRSA) Phoshoko was born around Polokwane specifically at Segopje Village. Being born around a traditionally acclaimed village he gained first hand lecture on morals and survival. However, during his school days he frequently visited city life around Joburg, until he finally moved there for three years since 2002. His movement was entirely influenced by once thing – the love of music. Armed with morals and survival skills, he managed to acquire variety of musical instruments to pursue his love of music particularly DJing.
Dj LetlakaRSA relocated back to this hometown Polokwane – where he crafted his home studio and founded Nkareng Entertainment Company. He worked with local artists as the manager, producer and as an artist himself. He produced artists such as Nthema – who later appeared on SABC 2 Gospel Time, which trickle down to his beginnings (Nkareng entertainment). Dj LetlakaRSA worked with various artists with variety of offerings on gospel, kwaito, house, afro, hip-hop and dance music. 
While he is still advancing local talent and playing sets around his community – he is compiling an album that will feature two most popular songs currently receiving airplays at local radio stations 1. Tswara Lebota and 2.  Kholwa Kuwe.  
Focus on the current two songs 
Tswara Lebota is a song with a lot of humour around it – combining classical beats with current rhyming. It focuses on a young man who is always keen to lure women at social gatherings when invited without bringing his one. He got nothing therefore he can hang on to the wall. A very good sing along at any level. Vocalists from Polokwane and Sabie came together to combine their varied background and offered this banging tune. 

Kwolwa kuwe - Is a spiritual song – combining mellow elements to suit all sceneries either in a church setup or a hectic banging club set up. Another good sing along rhymed in a pure South African language. The lyrics of the song were sung by the Mpumalanga talented young man willing to utilise his voice for good use. 
Over eleven years of experience Dj LetlakaRSA noticed a significant change in the music industry and one thing learned is to keep the quality in every production. Apart, he is able to keep up with the changing trend and able to mend with the demanding technology overcoming the classical music compilation, production and distribution. Dj LetlakaRSA and his concept company will continue to cater for the fans that have grown with DJ LetlakaRSA  and supported his music.

Hello, and thank you for visiting the home of one of the Westcoast most talented artist, Elijakain tha Kursed son.

Born and raised in the rough streets of  Watts, Los Angeles,  is where he developed his gritty street sound; songs full of passion, touching the heart, the mind, and in some cases the grieving soul, as he delivers the truth about what goes on in the lower economic section of American society.  
It wasn't until the death of his mother, two brothers, and a sister that the term "Tha Kursed son",  was included as an addition to his name. "Shit when the master says go, it's time to go no one can stay his hand. It's just Me and T-brazy my only surviving sibling my Lil bro". The artist said.
 
The industry leaders has Elijakain listed as a "gangster rapper" and frankly he says," I am absolutely fine with that summary be it true or untrue". said one source. But when  asked to clarify his position he responded by simply stating, "I am a follower of the Lord YESHUA but still struggle with the devices that come with existing in a fallen state".           

Now, because he's really lived the music he delivers to the public, he has suffered the loss of his freedom on several occasions. The first time being nearly a decade in prison, a one-year sentence, then most recently he was released from a four-year bid outside of California.

Those prison terms had  a devastating impact on the career of one of rap's most prolific writers since 2pac. "At Carlitos Records, they were in the middle of negotiating a distribution deal with ,Sony ,in, Frankfort, Germany when I caught a murder beef out of state. That was when I knew I'd fucked myself out of fame and fortune . But I'm back now and my aim is to bring substance back into rap similar to how it was when Pac left.". says the artist in a telephonic interview in 2015.   
 
Elijakain is no newcomer to the rap game he inked his first deal with Carlito Records back 1997. He's made collaborations with some of the biggest names in the business,people like; Ice-t , Jean-eve Ducornett, BabyBash (formerly BabyBeesh) Kid Frost,Grandmaster Melly Mel and Scorpio , Prince whipper whip, Tony-L (one of Germany's biggest hit makers), Flipside of DeathRow's O.F.T.B.  and much more.            
             
Currently, "Kain" as he prefers to be called, is working on his second studio album, "The Book of Eli" which is scheduled for release on Uncut Village Records/Gorilla Fortress Music sometime in 2017, and Kain is scheduled to appear in the upcoming film,"Street Tyrants" who's release date wasn't available.

I am a man of my word, a lover of love; and a masterpiece of illusion.
Or so I've been told... 

As a young man with Asperger's, I am well aware of the hardships and problems I must face. But let's look at the bright side of things! I love to create artwork - especially music and writing; but also 3D animations/CGI. I love to see people smile, even though it's hard to understand their social cues. Even more importantly, I love making a positive impact on people's lives. If asked to change, I'd have it no other way than to be who I am today! ^_^

I also deal with depression and anxiety as well as schizophrenia. (The paranoia sometimes is overwhelming, but I'm far from violent.)

Dealing with these issues is very hard on me, but as I've managed with Asperger's, I come up with solutions and ways to handle my problem.
I've never fully come to terms with my disorders, nor have I fully equipped myself to handle them; but as time moves on, I'll be able to face the reality of my predicament.

For me, times are changing right now. I'm moving onto a new stage in my life that ultimately in due time, will equip me with the tools necessary to live independently and openly. Hold down a job; and manage my own income with assistance.

On the Asperger's side, I'm hugely talented, loyal and forthcoming even with strangers. I'll run up to greet anybody anywhere and I am willing to care for those who've cared for me. While a career choice for me is hard to decide right now (Likely game design) I'm also a writer and a musician.

On the Depression side, I deal with a lot of fits and bursts of energy. My mind is always out of control - a symptom of both my Asperger's and Schizophrenia. I used to hallucinate through sound and visual; and at times I would get so depressed and disorganized, that I'd consider suicide. I've not had to deal with the depression at large since moving to North Carolina last summer.

Finally, I'm paranoid schizophrenic. All this means is that I see problems where there aren't any. In other words, if someone looks at me a certain way, I may close up into a bubble. I'll be more likely to hide from people I feel threatened by. This is usually canceled out by my loyalty and trust for my friends. On the other hand, I see things differently, and am willing to interact with people should they manage to get through my shell. So far only two personal friends have managed that, and three life long relatives.

As a whole, I am willing to service solutions to my life long problems. I am willing to work and try new tasks if it means learning from others or teaching others.
I've learned to not pay homage to a debilitating illness such as schizophrenia, should it return in full force. I am a loyal friend as I've come to realize; and a willing participant in making people happy.
Perhaps one day I'll change the world. Invent something new or create a fresh new idea.
But in the end, I am who I am and nothing can change that.
I just have to accept it and live as best I can.
And that I'll do.

The name refers to the ‘marcophone’: a futuristic melodic-percussive instrument thought of and created by Marc Arents. He resides in the heart of the old european continent, its capital actually, Brussels. This man fathers an extraordinary artistic family, made up of six brothers and sisters. Arents number 3...our very own Reno, AKA Pipo Experience is a 20 something year old gifted musician and eccentric singer/song writer who makes a living working as a Social worker. 
In the July of 2013 he is approached by a friend and asked if he would like to help out in the daily running of a residence he owns in Granada. Unknown to Pipo, Casa Bombo, situated in the heart of the historic quarter of the Albayzin, has a new member of staff. 
Pasquale, another 20 something year old artist and music enthusiast from London, has just started an Internship there.

Pipo finally accepts the offer to help out and thus the foundations for a new music concept are laid. At first the two are a little standoffish when it comes to talking about music. Pipo has been in many bands, he writes, plays, records most of his own tracks, Pasquale on the other hand is a DJ. The idea of producing his own material is a recent one to him. Even if he has had the pleasure of working with, and getting to know many talented musicians over the years. This is mainly down to his biggest musical influence, his uncle Mario, guitarist, music lover and owner of Mario’s caff in central London.

Towards the end of August, the two of them are working full time in one of the hottest destinations in the whole of the city. They are thus given the opportunity to meet and greet many people, many cultures. They share many moments and stories with their guests, their friends, with each other and a pattern begins to emerge from all this talk. The first being the fact that many people across the globe are currently going through a very tough and stressful period.
The second, and most important, is the hope and fight that derives from many of these conversations. And there is no talk of guns or bombs or a call to arms, no. Surprisingly; many of these voices speak of an eagerness to learn, to be creative or to branch out and break free of many limitations that the current world order offers to most of its people. The idea of healthier alimentation, free and correct information, more opportunities for youngsters, love and the ongoing belief that one is better or superior of another fuels a lot of the chatter.

Pipo and Pasq eventually get on to the subject of collaborating on a few tracks. The days are long and hot and it’s not till Reno’s younger brother and sister come to visit that the notes of sweet music start to ring out amongst those happy rays of the summer sun. Written, recorded, mixed, and with a host of collaborations, The Marcophones are more than just a music project. 
They are a group of voices and melodies that spread from Andalucia, Europe, Africa and the world who convened and shared a love for music. The natural surroundings and the never ending exchange of moments with each other give this record a unique sound and vision. The songs host a group of languages with one ideology; whoever you are or wherever you are from, if we all just looked out for one another a little, then this world would, just maybe, be a little brighter and happier. We hope you enjoy our work. As always, a pleasure.

JAVIER MARCHANTE / SHANKARA: (INFO en español debajo)

I was born on a 11th September in Cadiz, next to the Theatre Falla, and when I was only two years old I could already sing the ‘Yellow Submarine’ by "The Beatles", 
(maybe it was a premonition about my future...?)

My first steps as an artist was when I was thirteen I started to write poetry and a little after I started to teach myself to play piano and drums. 
Although, when I started my career in 1986 it was as an actor in the theatre company of Ricardo Hurtado, which toured through all of Spain with the work of Muñoz Seca, Moliere, Mihura, etc. 
(curiously: one of my colleagues was Javier Bardem, who had also commenced his professional career).

I supported my life as an actor and musician by undertaking various work such as a messenger, telephone installer, administrative assistant, video and television technician, etc. My first big musical opportunity arrived with the group, “All Together Band” playing covers of "The Beatles". I was with them for thirteen intensive and amazing years on keyboards and singing (and at times playing the drums as well).
I recommend that you visit their facebook page and see some of their videos. They are still very good, although without me! 

Alongside those years of "Beatlemania" I became the keyboard player in the group of “Gabinete Caligari” during his ultimate four years of life, with them I recorded his last record “Subid la música”. 
Sporadically, I also accompanied various people, from the great Gema Castano, to the group of the 80’s Martinica, the “Gibson Brothers” (on their only one tour in Spain), the singer Ramsey Ferrero, 
the great funny-songwriter Riki López, the singer and founder of “The secrets”, Javier Urquijo, and a group that deserved better luck, called “Los Olvidados”.

I also worked in another very different area within the music industry:
I dubbed songs to Spanish in films and cartoon series, such as the successful Pokémon, Ferngully, Winnie the Pooh or Gummi bears. An area of work that was to last several years and where I learned a lot about how to record singers and how to work in a recording studio.

As the millenium approached I started to search for my own music and to work on my own compositions, based on the piano, which I consider to be my "pillar instrument". 
I would add the other instruments later with the ambience that each of them “asked me”. Although recorded in the same style, I always intended that each song would be unique and personal.

In all of my work I have the luck to count on the collaboration and accompaniment of many great friends and musicians: the legendary guitarist Pepe Marchante (my brother, who is now a hit in Cadiz with his group “Easy!”), 
Lorenzo Solano, Miguel Angel Varela, Toni Brunet, Arancha Moragrega, Juan Garrandés, Pedro Gil, Ramón Prendes, Frank Loviconi, the great José Nortes, La Casa del Mar, Miguel Angel León, Enrique Gil, Lauren Stradmann, 
David García, Miquel Ferrer, Julián Kanevsky, my beloved and admired Guzmán and Pedro Sánchez, Juan Olmos, Lalo, Charly Hens, Luigi Gaona, the talented multimedia artist “Sethler” and the sitarist and writer Fernando Díez.

Now I work personally with José A.F.Mariscal (guitarist of the legendry group “Cai”) and work “online” with Xavier Martinez and Alejandro Arias. With them I am part of a virtual group called The Ravens, and with them I finished 
recording my latest single that you can hear on my Shankara Facebook called “Round”.

My musical influences, my deep musical inspiration came from symphonic rock, from bands like Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons project, Camel, Oystein Sevag, Enigma, Mike Oldfield, Paul Schwartz, Howard Shore, Jean Luc Ponty, etc, etc.

Up to now I have written three albums of my own "Inner life" (2000),"Wide open" (2004) and "Tr3s" (2005) more information on these is below.

In 2008 I had good luck when my editor Mikel Barsa included some of my themes in a TV series called “El camino del cid”, that was broadcasted a few times on TVE2 and in other Spanish speaking countries. 
They also went onto DVD, which enabled me to reach more people.

At the beginning of 2011, I was tired of the frenetic pace and stress of Madrid, and I decided to return to my roots, to my birthplace - Cádiz. 
I now work in my home studio composing new songs and searching for future projects, some musical, some in the creation of audiovisuals, whilst I also enjoy my favourite hobbies: photography, cycling and the sunsets of Cádiz!

JAVIER MARCHANTE / SHANKARA: 

Nací un 11 de Septiembre en Cádiz, al ladito del teatro Falla y con tan sólo dos años ya cantaba el "Yellow submarine" de los Beatles, 
(quizás una premonición sobre mi futuro...?) 

Mis primeros pinitos artísticos fueron como poeta a la edad de trece años, y poco después empecé de manera autodidacta a tocar el piano y la batería, aunque cuando comencé mi carrera profesional en 1986, 
fue como actor en la compañía de teatro de Ricardo Hurtado, con la que recorrí toda España con obras de Muñoz Seca, Moliere, Mihura, etc, (compañía en la que, curiosamente, compartí escenario 
con un tal Javier Bardem, que también comenzaba su carrera profesional...). 

Alternando mi vida de actor y músico con trabajos tan variados como mensajero, instalador de telefónica, auxiliar administrativo, técnico de vídeo y televisión, etc, llegué a mi primera gran oportunidad musical 
con el grupo ALL TOGETHER BAND, con los que pasé 16 intensos años haciendo versiones de los Beatles, tocando el teclado y cantando, (y a veces tocando también la batería). 
Os recomiendo visitar su Facebook y ver alguno de sus vídeos: ¡siguen siendo muy buenos, aunque ya no esté yo! ;-) 

Compaginé esos años Beatlemaníacos con ser teclista de GABINETE CALIGARI durante sus últimos 4 años de vida como grupo, (con ellos grabé su último disco, "Subid la música"), 
y esporádicamente acompañé también a gente tan variada como a la gran GEMA CASTAÑO, al grupo de los '80 procedentes de Martinica, los GIBSON BROTHERS, (en su única gira por España), 
a la cantante RAMSEY FERRERO, al gran cantautor, (cantahumor, como dice él) RIKI LOPEZ, al cantante y fundador de “Los secretos” JAVIER URQUIJO, y a un grupo que mereció tener mejor suerte, 
llamado LOS OLVIDADOS.

En otra faceta muy diferente dentro de la música, también doblé canciones al español en películas y series de dibujos animados, entre ellas, la exitosa "Pokémon", “Ferngully”, "Winnie the Pooh" 
o "Los osos Gummis", una faceta que duró varios años, y en la que aprendí mucho como cantante y sobre el trabajo en un estudio de grabación.

Cuando se acercaba “el cambio de milenio” comencé a buscar "mi propio camino musical" y a trabajar en solitario mis composiciones, basadas casi siempre en el piano, (que considero mi “instrumento base”)
e instrumentándolas después con el ambiente que “me pedía” cada una de ellas… aunque guardando un mismo estilo, siempre intento que cada canción sea única y personal .

En todos estos trabajos tuve la suerte de contar con la colaboración y compañía de grandes amigos/músicos, como el ya legendario guitarrista Pepe Marchante, 
(mi hermano actualmente de moda en Cádiz con su grupo "Easy!"), Lorenzo Solano, Miguel Angel Varela, Toni Brunet, Arancha Moragrega, Juán Garrandés, Pedro Gil, Ramón Prendes, Franck Loviconi, 
el genial José Nortes, La casa del mar, Miguel Angel León, Enrique Gil, Lauren Stradmann, David García, Miquel Ferrer, Julián Kanevsky, mis queridos y admirados Guzmán y Pedro Sánchez, Juan Olmos, 
Lalo, Charly Hens, Luigi Gaona, el talentoso artista multimedia Sethler y el sitarista/escritor Fernando Díez. 

Actualmente trabajo en persona con José A.F. Mariscal, (guitarrista del mítico grupo CAI), y “a través de la red” con Xavier Martínez y Alejandro Arias, con los que comparto un “grupo virtual”, llamado The Ravens, (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRavensMusic ) y con los que acabo de grabar mi último single, que ya podeis escuchar en mi facebook, llamado “Round”.

Mis influencias musicales, “las fuentes de las que bebí”, son sobre todo de rock sinfónico y por ello debo nombrar sin dudarlo a gente como Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons project, Camel, Oystein Sevag, Enigma, 
Mike Oldfield, Paul Schwartz, Howard Shore, Jean Luc Ponty, etc, etc, etc.

En 2008 tuve la gran suerte de que mi editor Mikel Barsa gestionara la inclusión de varios de mis temas en la serie de TVE llamada "El camino del Cid", que fue emitida varias veces en TVE2 
(y en otros paises de habla hispana), y también fue editada en DVD, lo que me permitió llegar a mucha más gente con mi proyecto y tocar por vez primera “un palo más” dentro de este mundillo:
 el de la música de ambiente para televisión, cine, cortometrajes, etc.

A principios de 2011, cansado ya del ritmo frenético y estresante de Madrid, decidí volver a mis raices, a mi tierra natal, donde actualmente trabajo en mi estudio nuevas composiciones musicales 
y busco futuros proyectos, tanto musicales como en el ámbito audiovisual, mientras disfruto de otras de mis grandes aficiones: la fotografía, la bicicleta y las puestas de sol gaditanas. :-)
