But here we are a year and 12 events later and we're ready to blow out some candles and celebrate all that we've learned and experienced with all of you! After last months Laughing Buddha event where almost 500 of you showed up in force and created something truly amazing, we knew we had to come up with something big for this special occasion. We're once again at our beautiful, cozy home at BEATBOX SF and are putting together a monumental production that will make this yet another night to remember! Many more details to be announced very soon with early bird ticket information, atmospheric creations, and the rest of the audio navigators for the evenings festivities!

Parties were held deep in the mystic forests during summer and attracted a fresh new crowd, enthusiastic for these innovative sounds. Among this crowd were two freshly graduated computer engineers who were struck with a profound fascination for this new music. This enchantment led to the inception of the now infamous musical unit 'Logic Bomb', formed by Jonas Pettersson and Johan Krafft, in 1998. They released their highly thought debut album 'Headware', produced together with fellow Swede, Jonas Bergvall, on Spiral Trax in the year of 2000. Following up on the phenomenal success of 'Headware', their second album 'Unlimited' was released on leading English label TIP World in 2002. After years of silence, things were cooking once again in the bomb-lab, utilizing their highest quality, bleeding edge, digital technology married with the finest analog circuitry of the past they crafted an album that was both classic and contemporary for that time Now their 4th album is out called 'The Grid' and the Swedish boys are yet again ready to head out on the road and blast again... get prepared!!! :::TRANAN (Solstice, SWEDEN)::: Music has always been a great passion in Jonas life and as a young boy he played the piano. In his teens the music interest went from hard rock to punk and hip hop, but he never really found what he was looking for. In 1993, Jonas Pettersson met Dennis Tapper and together they discovered the psy-trance scene. (Dennis is the one responsible for Jonas nickname, that later became the name of his solo project, Tranan. Tranan means the crane, a skinny bird with very tall legs that has a somewhat resemblance to Jonas appearance) Jonas got hooked instantly and a couple of years later he and Dennis started the Hux Flux project. The first Hux Flux album Cryptic Crunch was released in 1997 and was followed by many gigs around the world on the side of a fulltime day job. In 1998 Jonas left Hux Flux and started Logic bomb with Johan Krafft, and later Jonaz Bergvall. He was also working on his solo project Tranan on the side and had his first release, the single Moody, on Flow Records in 1999. In 2000 Jonas quit his day job and put all his attention into the Logic Bomb project. In 2003, Jonas decided to cut down on touring and focus on music production, especially on his solo project Tranan. In September of 2005 his first album Restarter was released on Solstice Music. :::META (AT Records)::: “Meta” is the solo psy-trance project of Aeon La France, a veteran of the California trance community for over a decade. Starting as a DJ in the SF scene in 1999, he began playing for Thump Radio and countless underground parties while also hosting his weekly psy-trance radio show “Highway 604" on KZSC Santa Cruz from 2001-2006. Gradually building a studio and transitioning to production, he released several tracks on V/A compilations and then his debut album “Ekstasis” in 2007. Ongoing collaboration projects include “The 1134" with Etienne Grunenwald, focusing on a twilight oriented sound, and “Boomslang” with Thomas Taylor (Chiral), featuring a more morning-oriented sound inspired by Southern California outdoor parties. Since relocating to Southern California he has continued to play extensively at festivals and clubs across the US, Canada and Mexico, however this will be his first live set in San Francisco in many years, and a welcome return to his original psytrance stomping grounds!
