THE FIRST STONE...was born out of the joining efforts of producer Gustavo Manfroni (aka Burn in Noise), DJ Swarup (organizer from Universo Paralello Festival), and the DJ and percussionist Zumbi.
The inspiration behind The First Stone lies in the lights and colors of the hippie movement from the late 60s and early 70s and primitive elements of Brazilian culture. Its vigorous and colorful sounds h...ave made The First Stone one of the leading projects in the present Brazilian trance scene and their live presentations are marked by intense response from the dancefloor.

BURN IN NOISE...Gustavo Manfroni was brought up dedicating his time and interest completely to music. He's been playing the guitar since his early days. He played in 2 rock bands, up to the day when, during a trip to London, got in touch with the psychedelic trance music. The interest in electronic music grew fast and, in the end of 1999, started buying softwares for producing music.
He has gained recognition as one of the top live acts over the past few years. With performances at festivals across the globe, (e.g. Goa (India), Ozora Festival (Hungary), Boom Festival (Portugal), Universo Paralello (Brazil), Ultramusic Festival (Russia), Fusion Festival (Germany), Vuuv Festival (Germany), Sonica Festival (Italy), FullMoon Festival (Germany), Aurora Festival (Greece), Paradise Festival (Austria), Summer Never Ends Festival (Switzerland), Waldfrieden Wonderland Festival (Germany), Glade Festival (UK), Maitreya Festival (Australia) etc...), and more than 100 releases on labels worldwide, Gustavo has honed his style into dancefloor perfection.
With an individual style focusing on strong warm basslines and textured, psychedelic leads that demand your attention, it breaks away from the standard full-on, representing a new, fresh direction in dancefloor music. Already with two acclaimed albums, ‘Broken MP3’, released on Brazilian label Vagalume Records in 2005, and his storming second album, ‘Passing Clouds’, released on Alchemy Records in 2008, Burn in Noise is working on his new Album, to be released in 2012.
In 2009 he had 2 nominations (best artist and best track) on the biggest selling music portal, Beatport Awards. The track “Transparent” of his “Passing Clouds” Album was one of the 3 most selling tracks in the whole year of 2008 at Psytrance Section on Beatport. Gustavo together with Swarup and Zumbi, released the self-titled artist album “The First Stone” in January 2006 and their second album early 2010.
In 2009 He joined forces with Dickster (Green Nuns of the Revolution, AMD), to form a new live act called “Circuit Breakers”. With already 2 top selling EPs “Brazinglish” “Overload” on Nano Records, you can expect for 2011 much more to come from the duo.
Burn in Noise 2011 World Tour included countries like: Brazil, India, Australia, USA, México, Austria, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, UK, Argentina, Chile, Montenegro, Greece etc...

ALTRUISM LIVE / DJ THATHA...had her first contact with Psytrance in 2000, which made her very interested in working as a Dj. At the end of 2002, she began her career mixing vinyl records, and attending the alternative scene in Brazil, has identified herself even more with Psytrance and decided to turn into a professional Dj.
Thatha has a psychedelic and sophisticated style, adapting herself perfectly to the dancefloor, never losing her concise base in the underground. With an outstanding technique, her music is full of rhythm, lightness and charm.
She produced tracks with renowned Brazilian artist Burn in Noise. Two are in his second artist album “Passing Clouds”, one released at Utopia Records and the much acclaimed track “Pink Noise” released on an EP by Vagalume Records. With this experience, Thatha dedicated herself in her own productions and now makes her solo live act called "Altruism."
In July 2010 Thatha launched her first compilation, Magic Mirror, by Vagalume Records, which includes three Tracks of her Altruism project. Magic Mirror was one of the most selling CDs, staying in the Top 10 BeatPort for consecutive weeks.
Thatha has performed at many partys, clubs and festivals around the world such as Vuuv Festival (Germany), Summer Never Ends Festival (Switzerland), Sonica Festival (Montenegro), Fullmoon Festival (Germany), Ultra Music Festival (Russia), Universo Paralello (Brasil), Monte Mapu Festival (Chile), Trancendence Festival (Brasil), etc
With a great feeling and very psychedelic music, Thamara Cruz, has become a highlight in the Psytrance World scene.

Jay OM -- Journey (Jay OM / Omsphere / Crocodile Rangers / Star~Trip) is the psychedelic solo project of, Milan born but now London based, Giampiero 'Jay' Mastino, label manager of Free-Spirit Records. Jay forged his earliest psychedelic-rock influences playing guitar in local bars in Milan.
His romance with the decks began in the late 80's whilst working for a local radio station where he was given the opportunity to spin his first record. This love firmly in place the move to London followed in 1998. Soon thereafter he started djing professionally as Jay OM and in 2003 he studied Sound Engineering and Music Technology and began a solo production project under the name Journey and another collaborative project called Star~Trip. In 2004, Jay conceived the vision of a network of like-minded artists in the psy-trance, progressive and ambient genres, all working to promote themselves and each other under one banner.
Thus the Free-Spirit label was born... originally intended to focus on artist management, the label's skyrocketing success combined with the enthusiasm of Jay, the artists and fans enabled Free-Spirit to outgrow its horizons. Following several successful compilation releases, Journey released his first EP in 2008 and his first solo album, The Man who Sold the Time, on Free-Spirit Records in January 2009, followed by a teaser EP, The Ripple Effect Part I, in July 2010 and has recently completed working on his second album, Through the Mirror, to be released in September 2011. Journey has also released numerous tracks on several other international labels and also has numerous releases under his other projects.
Jay has been rocking the crowds at many of the biggest venues internationally as well as outdoor parties and festivals in the UK, Europe, Brazil and South Africa under his various projects including Boom Festival, Universo Paralello, Origin Festival, Fora do Tempo Festival, Aurora Festival, Vortex Festival, Boomerang Festival, Psionic Visions Festival, Sonica Festival, Samsara Festival, Life Celebration Festival and many more... Jay also began producing progressive under the name Omsphere in 2009 and has a further psychedelic collaborative project with Ralph K (Braincell/Solar Spectrum/Rastaliens) called Crocodile Rangers.
Today, Jay's reputation as an active, involved, and hard working individual in the global trance circuit precedes him. His commitment and enthusiasm for trance music has left an indelible impression on the world scene already and Jay's future has never looked brighter, from his burgeoningly successful record label to his organized events to his upcoming solo releases. Jay works tirelessly at his art and trade and the music he brings to the masses exemplifies the fruits of his labour and energy.
