The concept:
We’ve been living our lives at a rate of 24 hours per complete earth axis rotation at 365 days per complete circumference around the sun. We exist in our human form that is allowed at this speed of life. For one night, we will halt this speed and time will stop. allowing our forms that hide in the margins of time to be released. In this timesphere, our alternate creatures celebrate their freedom from the clutches of passing time; relishing in the halting of time itself. Come to “Timesphere” as your inner creature which exists deep in your timeless self.

Vibrasphere began their musical path in the mid-nineties. Rickard had a blossoming career in the very new trance scene as a member of early Goa group Subcouds and around the same time Robert was taking his first steps in musical production on his trusty Amiga-. After meeting through Rickard’s younger cousin- the pair decided to enter the studio in the summer of 1998 with the creation of their project- Vibrasphere- the rest, they say, is history.
They where quick to leave their mark on the scene- early releases such as the now legendary “The Open Sphere” were the beginning of the unique sound that has become synonymous with the Vibrasphere name- a sound that despite keeping up with modern production trends, has managed to retain its classic feel. The rich dub influenced soundscapes; classic trance elements, intelligent musicality and broad bass lines have never left Vibrasphere- despite their sound evolving to always keep them at the forefront of the progressive scene.

PROGRESS, the project of Yuriy Vaskevich, is an evolution of sound that brings a world of fantasy and imagination to its listeners. Based in New York City, an energetic hub, the music is a reflection of its physical origin as well as the mental evolution of its composer. With a strong foundation in classic music, mainly of piano and guitar and a post-modern ambition, the sound is both organic and electronic. The project began in the late 1990s with an exploration of personal identity and experimentation with various styles of electronic music. Today, PROGRESS, ranges in style from psychedelic trance, ambient and chill-out, to avant-garde and experimental. Having played at several live venues in the United States and written film scores, PROGRESS has a rapidly growing acclaim. As the name implies, the music is always progressing with the common denominator being its inspiring melodies and a strong tendency to take its listeners on a colorful journey.

Balancing somewhere in the nexus between technological structure and organic chaos, Zentrix aims pull you in and turn your mind inside out. Born and raised in the rainforests of Western Canada, Matt Zentrix was inducted into the global rave culture through tight knit gatherings in record shop basements and renegade forest parties. Cutting his teeth on acid techno and tech funk, he soon encountered the world of psychedelic trance and became mesmerized by the culture's dedication to crystal clear production and sonic experimentation. All this has led to Zentrix finding his place among the international band of psychoacoustic engineers known as Zenon. While staying grounded in the same energy that kept those early dance floors vibing until the early hours of the morning, Zentrix's sound continues the story, constantly pushing it forward into new sonic realms.

i love quality time in my studio. my sets are speckled with solo productions, personal edits, and other private goodness.
i also work at RISE, boston's only after-hours club. depending on the time and day, you might catch me DJ'ing in the main room or the lounge, booking other nights with global a-listers & local superstars, writing press releases, managing our promoter team, even working in the coat check. i love every facet of the club i call home.
